manga reccomendations

[princessbunnyhop]

Hullo peeps, I've been looking at manga on amazon.com - it seems to be the only place I can get good manga from- anyway, does anybody have any reccomendations? I think magic knight rayearth sounds cool as does chobits. I'm so new to the world that I have zilch idea.

Rayearth is good
I'd also recommend
Cardcaptor Sakura (my second favorite, magical school girl)
Fruits Basket (my favorite!)
Tsubasa (fantasy with characters from CCSakura and other Clamp manga)
XXXHolic (ghosty stories)
Beet the Vandal Buster (action)
From Far Away (fantasy girl travels to another world)
Fushigi Yugi (fantasy girl travels to another world)
Tokyo MewMew (magical girly)
Rurouni Kenshin (action)
Bleach (action/ghosty)
PM me if you have questions about any of these, I don't know what kind of stories you like, and there are others that I like, but some may have problems due to some of the content. Many of these do have magical elements, so if that's a problem, sorry.

I would buy manga from www.justmanga.com. It is cheaper than amazon, and once you buy enough...you can be in their club and buy manga for $5.55...which is way better than $9.99, if you ask me.

Anyways...my favorites are:
Fruits Basket
Swan (its about a ballet dancer and everything she goes through to be the best.)

I have also ordered the 1st Fushigi Yuugi...but i havent gotten it yet, although I think it looks really good.

I think Love Hina, Ah, My Goddess, Marmalade Boy, Cardcaptors and Chobits are so good ones. Love Hina is my favorite, I find it very amusing.

One Piece
Yu Yu Hahusho

Excellent! Then I'd recommend any of the ones listed before. There are some others I like that have some creepy aspects to them (Alice 19th, Ceres, and Chrono Crusades) they involve some violence and zombie/monster type stuff. If you don't like that type of thing though, ignore this second set

Thanks so much. I really appreciate it peeps! I'm not too good with ghosty stuff which is annoying as some ghosty things have good storylines!

I found a great website for manga etc www.anime-on-line.com I tried out just manga too, it is a great website but they don't seem to deliver to England, if they do there postage seems expensive... but anywy, I've found a place in UK so *Yipee*

Meh, my recommendations are...

Eyeshield 21 (zomg, a football story...in manga!? yes please!)
Bleach (zomg? overrated, but still a very good manga/anime, remember kiddies, just because something is overrated does not mean it's not good)

Meh, I guess DNAngel makes it onto that list as well, a little girly, but still good.

My Favorites:
Saiyuki
The Kindaichi Case Files
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Megatokyo (found at www.megatokyo.com, reading it on the 'net is much chearper then buying it)
Rurouni Kenshin

Highly Recommended:
Fruits Basket
Dragon Knights
Fullmetal Alchemist
Fullmetal Panic
Trigun
Inu Yasha
Ranma 1/2
Naruto
Ceres
Fushigi Yugi
HunterxHunter
Basara

Wikipedia has a fairly good description of most the manga

Careful on Wikpedia tho. Major spoliers...like major. I usually avoid it for that reason, and instead read the series discription on just manga.

Tokyo mew mew
Oh ! My goddess
Psychic girl mai
Those who hunt elves
Ranma 1/2
Kodocha
