Okay, I'll try and follow Yash's advice to turn this place into my Bishie album Manga Blog.

*tinkers with Tabulas configurations*

I don't feel like adding my own template yet. It's just like making my own blog layout.

Last night, my sister and I just finished reading 3 volumes of Hanakimi. (17,18,19) It was volume 18 that made me cry. Nakatsu is so much like Kyou-kun... maybe that's why I really feel for him. *sigh*

I really like Mizuki for Sano and I know Nakatsu has no chances at all but he is such a martyr! He could still smile and pretend that nothing happened at all! That's really something for me that's why I like him so much.

Edit: Can someone help me with how to align the images? O_o It's making the whole page longer. x_x;;; Quite enjoying myself so far although I just learned that I can only upload upto 75 images. Why didn't they make it 100?! lol. ^^;


Currently feeling: cranky

Manga whore...

Hello. I'm about to post my manga recommendations and the manga's that I have read so far...

Hajime!

----
A
----

Akuma na Eros - Shinjo Mayu
A *ehem* simple and innocent girl falling for Satan himself. I'm more on the conservative side and lovey dovey side so I really didn't enjoy this one. Although... Kai (the devil) looks very tasty indeed! xD

Atashi wa Bambi
About a girl named Mai who was being bullied back in Junior High but then changed when she entered Senior High and there she met 2 guys, one is the love of her life and one is her RIVAL! (There is no display of Homosexuality here, don't worry) I'm quite enjoying this one.

Anti-Gravity Boy / Mujuuryoku Shounen - Azuki Ryo
What a find! I'm so glad that I read this one. our heroine Fuuko befriends or "falls" for Ruka, a boy who has powers that can defy gravity. The more she gets close to him, she inherits his powers too...

Alice 19th - Yuu Watase
Never continued to read it because it got licensed. However, the story more on magic and the power of love. :3

Air Gear
Shonen manga. Didn't continue reading.

All One
One shot shoujo manga. It's one of those puppy love stories. Really cute!



----
B
----

B-Wanted
Uh... let's say that they're all cute but the story isn't that becoming. ^^;

BxB Brothers
Baka Brothers rather as they are called in School. I lost my urge to read it because it was so hard to download. but the story is sweet, funny and interesting.

Buzzer Beater - Inoue Takehiko
Of course if it's Inoue-sensei it's always good. It's not really being scanlated because you can read them at Inoue's site. Really good and exciting. Just like Slam Dunk. It's basketball in the future.

Boy-Girl
A girl that looks like a boy and a boy that looks like a girl. A One shot story that is realllly kawaii~!

Beautiful Name
Another 3 part one shot manga's. Simple and sweet story about a girl who got separated from her first love when she was a child. She grows up and enters high school and there she meets a guy who really pisses her off but turns out to be her first love. ^_^;

Bleach - Kubotite
One of those Shonen Manga that I really enjoy reading! It's about Ichigo, a skinny orange haired guy who can see ghosts then becomes a shinigami... one of those ghosts who kills ghosts. Hard to explain but I totally recommend this one!

Black Cat
Another Shonen manga. More on detective and police work. Wah, you'll love Train. He's so cool.

Baby Love - Shiina Ayumi
Her first manga and the lastest one I've read. Hm... well... It's okay I guess, but Dice and Penguin Brothers really hit the spot! xD


----
D
----

Dice - Shiina Ayumi
Gah. I love this story. It's more on a Love Square than a love triangle. Yet another manga that I have trouble explaining... it's because it's by Shiina Ayumi. ^^;

Doubt!!
I keep forgetting this story. Anyway... it's about "Jimmies" A slang that refers to girls who are unsophisticated and inconspicuous. Similar to what happened to Mai in Atashi wa Bambi. Beauty Transformation and meeting uh... guys.

DNAngel
Licensed and turned into an anime. I prefer the manga better because Daisuki was much cooler there and Dark was more... yummy. :3


----
E
----

Embrace me tightly on the highest floor
One shot but never finished because there are no translations of Part 3 yet. Anyway... Brother and sister relationship but i turns out that the brother is only adopted. Sw33t.


----
F

Fruits Basket / Furuba - Natsuki Takaya
ALL TIME FAVE SHOUJO MANGA! Nuff said. *huff* xD Er... okay, it's already licensed too but there are still some scanlations roaming about. Tohru, an orphan lives with the Sohma family. (Not really related to each other) The Sohma's are cursed. When huggled by the opposite sex they become animals of the Chinese Calendar. (Juunishi) What's good about it? EVERYTHING! <3 <3 <3

Family Compo
I tell you, this is ONE WEIRD AND FREAKY Manga. Homo's and cross dressing fetish. xD Hillarious I tell you!

Full Moon O Sagashite
A dramatic and lovely shoujo manga. It really touched the hearts of many. Now turned into anime. The story revolves around Mitsuki who has throat cancer. Her long live dream is to sing so that she can be together with her beloved Eichi who is so far away. Her dream finally comes true with the help of 2 shinigamis who will at all cause stop the person who tries to prevent her death. She only has a year to live and to succeed.

----

Good Morning Call - Takasuka Yue
Must be my 3rd all time fave manga next to Furuba and Hanakimi. Yoshikawa Nao decides to live alone for Juinor High in this apartment but while she was settling down here comes Uehara Hisashi who claims to live in that apartment too. Now they must share the same apartment and must keep it a secret.

Guru Guru Ponchan
Weird one. A dog falls inlove with this guy (whom I don't think he's bishe and all xD) and then the dog becomes human! @_@ Uh... well... it's funny but I really don't like the guy so hehe...


----
H

Hot Gimmick - Aihara Miki
Yeppp. I absolutely love this one. So many hunks and the story was really getting good but then it got licensed so yeah... I'm so disappointed. >_< The story is complicated because it's quite mature... like liberated kinds of stuff.

Hanazakari no kimitachi E / Hanakimi - Hisaya Nakajo
Wah, I very very very like... no LOVE this story very much! It's about following your goals and dreams and the person you love the most. I'm sure everyone is reading this already...

Harukanaru Toki no Naka de / Harutoki
Very similar to Fushigi Yuugi but thos one seems better. xD

Hellsing
Shonen. One of those freaky manga's I enjoy. Vampires vs The Church.

Hikaru no Go / HikaGo - Hotta Yumi & Obata Takeshi
A really inspiring Shonen Manga. Licensed and turned into an anime.

Himiko Den
A girl in modern times gets sucked into a fantasy portal. The girl seems to be someone from that place. I prefer that anime tho because the manga is very different. I like the anime very much.

----
I
----

I'll Generation Basket
Basketball manga! It's not as funny and exciting as Slam Dunk but it's really cool.

Imadoki - Yuu Watase
This is the best Watase manga so far that I really enjoyed reading. The characters are so unpredictable. There's not much MUSH here and no fang-boy. x___x

Manga whore (continued)

Posted by exit at 03:49 PM on September 14, 2003.

A - I are written in the previous post. So anyway... i'll continue my babble:


----
K
----

Kaikan Pkrase - Shinjo Mayu
One word that came into my mind when I started reading this. HARRASSMENT. Shinjo Mayu really has this thing for sexy guys with black hair. Sakuya looks a lot like Kai. Anyway... this manga freaked me out. ^^ I think I prefer /ucifer better. xD Yay Makoto~!

Kare First Love
Now this goes into my fave list too. A dashing young man Kiriya who falls for this simple and clumsy girl Karin. Wah... I love Kiriya he is so gorgeous and cool. xD xD xD

Kiss ha Naisho ni - Masami Takeuchi
Bleh. Why did I ever read this one. It's... about a girl falling inlove and making love with her STEP BROTHER! Very disturbing. lol.

Kimi ShikaIranai - Yoshizumi Wataru
Hehehehe. I quite enjoyed this one but it's nothing like Ultra Maniac and Mint. The main character is a guy so it's kinda unique. Another best from Wataru-sensei. :)


----
L
----

Lilim Kiss
Will read soon...


----
M
----

Mint na Bokura - Yoshizumi Wataru
Weee~! My fourth fave manga I say. This one is hillarious and very cute. It's about twins Noel and Maria. They grew up together but as they grow they change, well... Maria starts to have crushes but Noel is still much a kid. You should really read this. Sasasasasasasasasasa~!

Missing Piece - Hisaya Nakajo
From the creator of Hanakimi. Now because this one is kinda short... I don't really remember anything. x__x;;;

Mahou Tsukai ni Taisetsuna Koto - Yamada Norie & Yoshizuki Kumichi
An inspiring story about magic and mages. Sorta like Harry Potter except that main chara is a girl and she is well-loved. ^^


----
N
----

Never Give Up!
Currently reading. A girl that looks like a guy and a guy that looks like a girl. It's funny but I'm still reading so I don't have any comments yet.


No Title
A one shot manga about a foreign guy who got lost in Japan and rescued by this japanese school girl. No named were mentioned here. Typical shoujo manga-ish story. ^^


----
P
----

Parallel
A very naughty *cough* perverted boy Nekota Shinosuke and one slick chick - Hoshino Sakura. Both are the leaders of the boys and girls in their class(?). They hate each other to death and seems like nothing can fix that. Although deep inside Nekota has fallen deeply inlove with Hoshino. He confesses to her but all she said was : "It will not work". Why? Both their divorced parents are living together and it seems like they're going to be siblings.

Perfect Girl Evolution
4 gorgeous housemates and one gloomy girl. The 4 must transform the girl into a lady so that their rent for a year would be free. What if the girl tries not to cooperate? They must use all their "manly" skills trying. xD

Platinum Garden
This isn't really anything like Meteor garden. The story revolves around a girl who is set to be the fiance of this hunk because of her grandfathers debts. Will she start liking the guy? Typical shoujo manga for you.

Parfait Tic
Sweet love triangle story of a clumsy and gutsy girl, a silent and smooth guy and his goofy, happy go lucky cousin.

Penguin Brothers - Shiina Ayumi
This one is twisted! I mean the story is very unpredictable. So many bishies and one very cute and clever heroine. It's about Hina a girl who transfers in this school and she finds out that there is a war amongst the students. She doesn't like the idea and starts to join in and stop that war.


----
R

Ragnarok
The korean manga turned number 1 MMORPG in the world. xD It contains Norse Mythology and your favorite game characters.

Ren-Ai ShijoShugi
I don't really advice girls to read this. It's more like hentai than shoujo. I stumbled upon this manga and thought it was cute coz the cover looked fine. My bad. ^^;;;

Random Walk - Yoshizumi Wataru
This isn't like any of her works. It's definetly NOT love at first sight. But the story is good.

Real - Inoue Takehiko
Yay. One of my fave serious type of Shonen manga. It's about Basketball again altho the players are in wheelchairs.


----
S

So Bad! - Aihara Miki
From the creator of Hot Gimmick comes another shoujo mamnga featuring one cute and impulsive girl and 3 hot guys who seem to be brothers with one father and so many mothers.

Seiten Taisei -Aihara Miki
Girl who doesn't seem be interested in school activities but then falls inlove with the coach of the Men's Basketball team. She decides to join in herself as manager. However... it seems that there are also guys in the team who starts to like her and complicates her chances of being with her beloved sensei.

Switch
Another Student-Teacher relationship story but this is my fave. The teacher doesn't seem to be that agressive towards his precious student. It's more like the real thing.

Suikoden 3 - Successor of Fate
Well... this is from a game so yeah, like my sister told me. Even if you haven't played any of the Suikoden Series you will still understand the story. :)

Secret Housemate
One shot and very icky. It's one of those things that will make you say: 'This will not happen in real life' sort of thing. I know falling inlove with someone you just met is okay but this one is kinda off the hook. Like... letting him sleep in your room? Mah mah...

Slam Dunk - Inoue Takehiko
Woosh~! My fave shonen manga and same goes with the anime. I totally love this one. It's funny, exciting and touching. You get sucked in the game once you read it. It's like 2 thumbs up including my toes. ^_^v

Summer Days 17 - Shinjo Mayu
This must be her only conservative manga. It's one shot and it's... uh... shoujo smut! xD All about a girl and 3 guys on one island. Who gets the girl and stays?


----
T
----

Toraware no Minoue / Captive Hearts
Megumi is the son of a butler who is very loyal to this family but long ago the family dies in China and so Megumi and his father kinda inherits the stuff but then news comes and says that the only daugher of the long lost family survives and is coming back. Is Megumi back to being poor? Not only that but there seems to be a curse...

Tokyo Crazy Paradise
If it weren't for my sister I shouldn't have read this. At first I didn't like how the artist drew but then I started to appreciate it because of the story. It's hella good and it's hella funny. You'll just love those Tsukasa and Ryuuji moments. Yakuza's, police, debts, guns, crossdressing, gambling and love all together in one. :)

This time it was a kiss for sure
One shot and not really that sweet. The pacing was kinda fast so I didn't enjoy it.


----
U
----

Ultra Maniac - Yoshizumi Wataru
Yesssss. One of my faves again. It's shoujo with a twist of magic. There is an anime of this already and both are really different. I prefer the anime better but the manga is okay too. It's like 2 different stories with the same characters.



----
W
----

Whistle
Shonen manga about soccer. :) Characters are cute and the story is good.

W-Pinch - Azuki Ryo
From the creator of AGB. It's about Kawaii Arisa and ger very weird and funny split personality that keeps her getting in trouble with the guys. ^^; And there's this really cute dog that looks like Ein of Cowboy Bebop.

W-Juliet
Boy-Girl mix up and crossdressing. If you like theatres, this one is for you.

World End Fairytale
The story is a little serious and it doesn't seem to have any shoujo stuff in it.



----
Y
----

Yume Miru Happa - Hisaya Nakajo
A group of short manga stories that you will enjoy. ^^;

Yamada Taro
First of all I thought this one was a shoujo manga. Turns out to be Shonen-Ai + Comedy instead. The guy of your dreams and campus crush turns out to be very poor. How will you take it? xD


----
Z
----

Zombie Power - Kubotite
Another shonen manga that I enjoyed reading. It comes from the creator of Bleach. Nice western and modern touch. Lotsa guns and action. ^_^

Doki-doki!?

Right hand punch!

Posted by exit at 11:27 AM on September 18, 2003.

My sister introduced me to a new manga series called Midori no Hibi. It's supposed to be shounen but it looks shoujo at the same time. ^^ Well... I only read upto chapter 2 last night so I really don't know yet.

Basically, I find the story cute. It's weird and sweet and the art work is okay. Why weird? Well... Imagine yourself as a fearless guy who can beat up anyone with one punch but there's one problem... because of your scary image the girls turn you down! So then you become frustrated, annoyed and uncontrollably mad because of the fact that you might finish high school without a girlfriend... until one night... some *cute* girl sprouts out of your right hand! Hehehe...

A new addition to my collection. :)
