Bittersweet Candy Bowl

Do any of you read any manga? If so, which ones?

I’m old-school manga, so Ranma 1/2 is what I’m currently reading.

Oh! I loved Ranma 1/2~! Haven’t read it in a while though…

It’s great! My mate wanted me to read Battle Royale. Is it any good?

Ranma 1/2 is certainly a good manga. Right now I am reading many, but I think my favorite is tied between Soul eater and Fairy Tail.

BATTLE ROAYLE IS ONE OF THE GREATEST MANGA I HAVE EVER READ

I read Pokemon Adventures, so much better than the anime.
There’s also Azumanga Daioh, Yotsuba! and sometimes Sgt Frog.
(I read more, but I’m too lazy to list them too)

@Gabriel Kaxbe

Wow! If you’re so uppity about it, then it must be really good!

@Pronkat

Battle royal was a good manga/book/movie. but I should say manga is really gory. If you don’t mind that part (which I think you don’t since you want to read it) then I think you’ll love it.

Cheers then mate! I’ll look for it on the net later

I personally can’t wait until Highschool of the Dead’s new chapter comes out. too bad it doesn’t look like it will anytime soon… -.-;

does anyone know any good non-mainstream manga?

The Magic Shopping Arcade Abenobashi comes to mind. The anime was pretty good also.

@Pronkat

Isn’t that the manga/anime where there were a lot of sexual references were? or I may be thinking something else…

Well, for Manga, my Favs are Megaman Battle Network (I actually have the entire series ^^), Battle Angel Alita, and Pokemon Adventures. Franken Fran’s good, but if you’re squeamish, I’d avoid it, fair amount of gore. Interesting story though.

@fourward

Yes, yes it is. Though they had other references too old-school anime as well. And the plot doesn’t just revolve around sex. There is a lot of folklore in it too.

@cyo

OMG megaman battle network XD I read the series while playing the actual game, so it was REALLY fun reading it. hum, I never hear of Battle Angel Alita… I should give it a look.

@Pronkat

Ah, I thought so. For some reason, any manga or anime that has too much porn, nudity, panty shots, etc. just makes me not wanna read the comic more, since it gives off the vibe that they rely on those to survive.

Im actually reading random mangas like Ranma 1/2,Bleach,Naruto,Fullmetal alchemist,Fullmetal Panic Sigma,Tsubasa,XXXholic and Negima.Realy randomic.

@Kou

Ah, mainstreams. You know what is a truly random comic? BOBOBO-BOBO-BOBO XD
but according to your manga taste, I think you would like 666 Satan (or O-parts hunter in English).

BOBOBO-BOBO-BOBO! Oh my God I haven’t seen that anime in like two years now. It was absolutely brilliant. I’ll have to look for the manga online as well. I’m not one for doing the illegal downloads, much XD. But Dublin has the crappiest service for non-mainstream manga/anime distribution in the British Isles. It’s a bloody pain to find anything here!

As for Abenbashi, well it does have an awful lot of sexual references, but I did find more to it.

By the way, do you have access to Mixi? I really wanna try it out, even if I sound like a retard for using Google Translator for it… XD

@fourward
Here in brazil we dont the mangas BOBOBO-BOBO-BOBO and 666 Satan(O-parts) but will have Elfen lied(or was it Elven lied?i dont remember) and Eureka 7.

For those looking for a good source of online manga, try here: http://www.onemanga.com/

And another here: http://www.mangafox.com/

Also, for some reason, my comment was cut off on the other one. O.o;

Any way, Franken Fran’s on the first one. Pokemon’s Adventure and Battle Angel Alita are on the other two.

@Kou

You are from Brazil? Groovy! I’m from Argentina but living in Ireland. My dad is always raving about someday going to the Carnival…

@Pronkat
Well i dont like carnival(here we call it carnaval) because its noisy(and i dont like it(i think i have same problem as mike have))
But maybe you or your father will have fun on it.

@Kou

I don’t know about the Carnaval. I think I’d rather go to the Fiesta de la Vendimia someday. I don’t know if you’ve heard of it, but it’s a celebration held in my home province of Mendoza. While that’s the main event, I’ll go for the two months preparation for it, because they have parties all across the province. I heard it’s like when the Escolas di Samba prepare themselves for the main event at the Carnaval.

@ Taeshi
I have all the volumes too and the cards(that sakura uses) as well.
Now i read some classics that i found on onemanga and manga fox.

Sakura is the manga that started it all XD

…Just realized I did not list my faves…

Well.. It’s a long list…(in no particular order, though bolded titles are the ones I obsess over)
Ranma 1/2, SGT. Frog, Battle Royale, Liar Game, Death Note, One Piece, The World Only God Knows, Gantz, BLAME, Yotsuba&, xxxHolic, Negima!, Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, Yankee-Kun to Megane-Chan (aka Flunk Punk Rumble), School Rumble, Highschool of the Dead, Bakuman, Medaka Box, Lock On!, The House with the Orange Roof, A Town in Which You Live, Countrouble….

I know that there’s more….

ACK HOW DID I FORGET Cardcaptor Sakura and Digimon!?

i do not read manga!

actually that is a lie i used to love rurouni kenshin but i have not read anything since

i dont know where to start oh gosh

@whatahwtahwt: Well, what kind of stories do you like?`

@Taeshi
Yes,but it was in japan,maybe he is reffering to CCS because it started outside of japan.
Here it started with Dragon Ball,Saint Seya/Knights of Zodiac an Mage Knights Of Rayearth(i loved the anime)

oh shit yes
i love me some tezuka

Naruto, Bleach, One Piece (all predictable). Also Detective Conan (Case Closed in North America), and Pokemon Adventures/Pokemon Special (go to hell Ash, Red is where it’s at!)

There are a bunch I plan on reading, but i haven’t been able too, like Negima, Bleach, and other Shonen Jump titles. I’m currently reading Naruto now. I have all the volumes of Fruits Basket and Love Hina, and i’m looking around for the volumes i have missing of Rurouni Kenshin and Ouran.

fuck manga/ the police

nah just kidding i love the police

I’m reading one right now called Black Cat and I’m lovin it. As soon as I can find some time I’ll get around to finishing it though >_>

Kimi Ni Todoke

>_>
<_<






shut up


(god I’m such a woman ;_

don’t worry Quacksalver! im a girly manga reading man too! I LOVE OURON HIGH SCHOOL HOST CLUB, TORADORA, KAREKANO (did i spell that right?) AND FRUITS BASKET!
*ahem*
anyhow, i own Fruits basket 1-8, host club 1-4 and FMA 1-21 (very proud. :3).

naruto and bleach

I didn’t read manga until this year, but I stick to hardcore horror stuff. Berserk, Claymore and D. Gray-man are my favorites. I thrive on high octane nightmare fuel, so if you have any DON’T FUCKING HOLD OUT ON ME.

pet shop of horrors, people getting eaten by bunnies, hardcore enough for you Jerk?

HAJIME NO IPPO!!! That’s truely the greatest manga ever. Probably the most realistic one out there to.

@ Triplesmex: Not really. Berserk kind of desensitized me to everything.

Currently reading/keeping track of as of the moment:

Pandora Hearts, Kuroshitsuji, and 07-Ghost.

No, i don’t.
