8. The only manga my Barnes and Noble actually had all the volumes of became my favorite. There was supposed to be a really bad storm later in the week, so I went to buy some books to entertain myself in case said storm knocked out the power.
Full Moon wo Sagashite (orrr something like that) has to be one of the best manga series I have ever read. The art isn't anything to sneeze at, typical big eyed crap, but the plot is much better than any of the popular manga series.
Basically the main character has cancer in her throat, but she wants to be a singer. Then two Shinigami come along, and tell her she's going to die in a year. So she begs them to let her become a singer for a little while before she dies.
They agree, but plan on making her fail the audition. However, their plan fails and she becomes a singer.
Mix the singing plot in with a hidden dark plot... And boom.
The anime sucks though, it ruins pretty much everything. :/
...Wow, I didn't mean to turn this into a huge essay. Sorry about that! XD
