This is a rip from basically every other grouping here, but I didn't think the Manga section had one. Now it does.

I am currently reading Trigun #2 - Deep Space Planet Future Gun Action!, after just finishing up Trigun #1 - Deep Space Planet Future Gun Action!

:thumbsup:

Triguns cool!

FURUBA!!! Go Furuba! Go furuba!

Oh yeah. . . I'm also reading DNAngel, Pretear, Alice the 19th (but if the rest of the series is gonna be like volume 4, I'll probably quit reading it.), Tsubasa, Azumanga Daioh, and Mink. I know, I'm an addict.

Yeah, they are both over 300 pages, but they're not that much more expensive than other Mangas. I got them both for $14.95. The second one is really great.

Just began Shonen Jump for June - my first one, sad to say.

Just read this month's issue of Shonen Jump (Naruto was absolutely hilarious..."They're almost alive! They're like caterpillars! They're UBER BROWS! :lol: ) That had to be one of the funniest things I've ever seen... :grin:

I read Rurouni Kenshin #5 but wasn't really that impressed...it was kind of dry...oh well. *waits for the sixth one*

Really? It just occured to me that I have been getting them since ep 0. .
Woah. . and I still wish they'd come out faster. .:)

They sure are great though. I love the kanji parts in general. Naruto has to be my fav in the actual issues though. Hikaru no Go is awesome too.

Has anyone else here attempted to actually play Go?

Yeah, Naruto is great. I think Hikaro No Go is really entertaining also, but you gotta love One Piece! That one can be hilarious.

I only wish that I would have been able to subscribe earlier. The first one I subscribed to was like the 18th issue.

Haven't attempted Go.........

Yeah I love ones pieces story line, but for some reason their teeth bother me. .

Yeah, ouch. . have you at least seen the others?

Its quite insane, really easy to pick up the rules if you have 4+ hours for the initial explanation. Then from there it takes years to master. hahahaha
Ive only played about 5 times, and we played short games.. first person to score a point wins. :sweat:

No, I haven't seen the others at all, sad to say. I may have to backorder all of them.... if I can find like a spare hundred dollars..... :drool:

Yeah, it sounds like a wild game.... rocket science or something... :eh:

Don't back order them, look in your local comic stores. All the ones around here have abou 3-4 extra copies of each volume.

If what information your are getting for the game is from Shonen Jump. Yeah it looks really confusing. I don't think they did a good job of explaining what the game is at all. In fact they made it more confusing than it already is.

Think of it like chess, its an old classic game with really fun strategies.

Reading Negima vol. 1, that new one from Ken Akamatsu (that guy who made Love Hina). Ironically it was shrinkwrapped and had a "mature reader 16+" sticker on the front, but after flipping through it Love Hina is still much worse...

Really? That is scary that love hina is worse. Is Chobits on the same level?

In addition to Shonen Jump - July, I'm also reading Prince of Tennis 1. Thanks for the recomendation, Xavier.

I also read a really great manga today in Barne's and Noble, and I can't remember what it was called, but it was by Megatokyo, and about where snow comes from. The art was beautiful, and the concept I thought relatively thought provoking for a manga (or at least, for the ones I've read).

Hrm...making my own, so I haven't been reading much other stuff, but I like to go back and read through my Shaman King collection; it's so funny. I'm still trying to figure out some of the stuff going on in book 27. My Japanese is only so good... XP

No, Chobits isn't that bad...there's nudity in the first, second, and the very last volumes, but in between is okay. There's a lot of talk about sex, but nothing really showing it. In Love Hina, there are at least two hot spring scenes in every volume. I've really enjoyed both series, but in my opinion Love Hina needs to be shrinkwrapped too >_>

I'm reading Pita Ten, Under the Glass Moon (I'm not sure is it right to call it manga) and Saiyuki.

:drool: I've read the second one twice in an attempt to help my brain digest it...I think my brain just threw it back up.....
Too much deepness! I'm a simple brained person who can't handle much deeper than Marmalade Boy or Parfait Tic....

Well, I have a cold and my mom felt bad, so she got me Trigun Maximum vol 1. So far it's as good as (if not better than) the original. It seems the anime took bits and pieces of both series, which I didn't know. Thumbs up. :thumb:

Sorry, I was vague with my first question, I'll ask another. What's Negima like?

I've read the first love hina book (umm. yuck.) and all of chobits, which I found to be pretty cool, if you can ignore all of what you described.

I finished my Shonene Jump for July and decided to wait on Prince of Tennis 1 until I read Hikaru No Go 1, so I can read the entries in Jump.... so I guess I haven't finished entirely.... just wanna catch up. I love One Piece!! Yeah!!!!

25 has more Ren than 27 (27's mostly Yoh). My mom found my runaway volume 19 yesterday, so I'm happily rereading that. ^_________^ (Even if 4/5 of the book is flashbacks.) XD
