Shinobi Life

Shinobi Life by Konami Shouko was definitely one of my favorite manga. I was completely in love with the time jumping story line and plot until I realized that months were passing and still I was waiting for Kagetora to find Beni... long story short (no pun intended...) I looked at it now thinking "hey, it should be over by now, I mean its been years since I last looked at that manga!" Nope. It's still ongoing on mangafox and Kagetora is still on the hunt for Beni. Sigh, it was indeed a good read though so if you haven't read Shinobi Life yet I think you should - just be ready to wait for updates if you don't intend to buy the series.

Genres: Comedy, Drama, Fantasy, Historical, Martial Arts, Romance, School Life, Shoujo, Supernatural, and Tragedy.  

Summary:

Many, many years ago, a ninja named Kagetora devoted his life to protecting Princess Beni. Unfortunately, they were attacked and Kagetora was flung into a lake, and sank to the bottom… And is somehow warped to the future where he sees the princess Beni being kidnapped. Little does Kagetora know that Beni is not the real princess, but rather her descendant. Beni, on the other hand, thought that Kagetora was just a cosplayer. Beni, the daughter of a rich man has already been kidnapped a hundred times already... But fear not because Kagetora is here. Will Kagetora be able to go back to the past, or will he remain by Beni’s side forever?
  

Akuma to love song

Akuma to love song by Tomori Miyoshi is cutely drawn and a good read. I haven't read this manga in a while either but I do remember enjoying it - in the beginning. Somehow or another it started changing into something I wasn't in the mood for at the time but now that I'm coming across all these oldies I might take another peek and see what really happened (aka - was it me or the manga).

Genres: Comedy, Drama, Psychological, Romance, School life, Shoujo

Midnight Secretary

Midnight Secretary by Ohmi Tomu is, hands down, one of favorite Vampire manga. Everyone who knows me well understands I love werewolves more the vampires (if only because its been over done way too much!) This manga is different to me; a career woman who finds out her boss is a vampire lol.

Genres: Josei, Romance, Smut, Supernatural

Power!!

Power!! (or Girl Got Game) by Seino Shizuru is too funny for words. This manga was released in 1999 and as I've stated before has an older style to it but I still enjoy it~ The only thing I have to say about it negatively is that she's on the basketball team and only plays against outside teams once with the school! Oh well, it is a good read and if you're looking for a LMAO moment, then here it is ^^

Genres: Comedy, Drama, Gender Bender, Romance, Shoujo, Slice of life, Sports 

Summary: 

Kyo Aizawa is very excited about getting to attend Seisyu Academy, which is famous for its adorable girls' uniforms. Her spirits are crushed, however, when she opens the package containing her school uniform to find a boy's uniform.

Her father explains to her that, as Seisyu Academy is also famous for its boys' basketball program, he enrolled her as a boy so she can fulfill his own dream of becoming an NBA basketball star. To make matters worse, she has to stay in the boys' dorms, and her roommate is the same boy she came to hate at tryouts.

Wish

Wish by Clamp has to be one the cutest manga I have ever read. It, too, is one of the first manga I began collecting and finished. Wish was also released in the 1990's lol (1996 to be exact), yep I'm pulling out a lot of oldies~! As such you can see the drawing style has an older flare but its clamp for crying out loud, it looks awesome~

He rescues Kohaku and, in return, Kohaku offers to grant him a wish.

As Kohaku is honour-bound to grant the wish, she chooses to stay with him in his home, and helps with chores.

Hands Off!

Hands Off! By Katsumoto Kasane is one of the first manga I started collecting - and actually finished. It was completely new to me at the time; the plot, characters - I loved it! I still love to go back and read it sometimes, I believe it helps give me inspiration to write lol. I also believe it might have been the first (small) step I took towards Yaoi - although it is not in this manga series at all which might in fact be a good thing (-_-) ...

Genres: Comedy, Drama, Psychological, School life, Sci-fi, Shoujo, Tragedy

Summary:

Candidate for Goddess

Candidate for Goddess by Sugisaki Yukiru is one of those mangas that whenever I get to the last chapter and realize it was dropped by the author I cry my eyes out TT-TT. This in fact might be one of the reasons why I stopped reading D.N. Angel (but that was a pretty good manga as well - just a bit cliché); later learning that it was the reason behind Candidate for Goddess' early end. Even with no real ending in sight this manga was a good read and I reread it often only to cry once more when I get to the last chapter. I hope one day Sugisaki Yukiru will finish it... but I doubt it. 

Genres: Action, Adventure, Drama, Mecha, Sci-fi, Seinen 

Summary: 

It is the year 4088. It has been over one thousand years since the Crisis of Systems (Lost Property), which resulted in the destruction of four planetary systems, leaving only a single inhabitable planet, Zion. Mankind is forced to live in space colonies, since that one planet is constantly being invaded by alien life forms that have come to be known as Victim.

To stop the aliens and to allow people to land on Zion, mankind has developed the astronomical humanoid weapons, Ingrids, also known as Goddesses. G.O.A. (Goddess Operation Academy) is a school dedicated to the training of young men to pilot these Ingrids ...

Please do not forget this manga was indeed dropped*

Karakuri Odette

Karakuri Odette by Suzuki Julietta is a manga I read a long time ago on onemanga.com. I found it again on Mangafox.com while still on the hunt for a different manga. I remember it being silly, funny, and a good read. I will even reread it just because I can't remember it fully and that depresses me lol.

Jouzetsu na Yubi

Jouzetsu na Yubi by Naono Bohra was not the manga I was looking for but I was happy I found it ^^ A cute one-shot that I wish was a little longer and had to post up here.
     After a long day yesterday, starting at 5am and ending at 1am, I really am not in the mood to do anything, which includes reading a long manga; I'll probably just start passing over the words the look at the pictures lol. I read it on Mangafox.com.

Madness

Madness by Shinmotsuki Kairi I think was one of my first yoai mangas. It was sometimes confusing and at first I didn't know Izaya was a man lol but it was good all the same. This story only has two books to it, which for manga is really short, but I liked it anyway ^^

Genre: Action, Adventure, Comedy, Fantasy, Romance, Shounen Ai, Supernatural, and Yaoi.

Summary: 

It is the year 3000 AD and Airishuu Izaya Luke is a Catholic priest of the Cult of Saint Ruka. He was charged with watching over Kyou, the leader of a group of murderers called Madness. Kyou has spent the past 3 years imprisoned in Izaya's church, with no memory of his murderous nature. Kyou's life has become a tranquil one until the day the church is attacked by an old enemy, Sae, a former member of Madness, who is attempting to take Kyou's demon sword Jigfreed. Kyou's murderous nature is awakened and he proceeds to kill Sae. He then goes to keep on killing, but Izaya stops him. As it turns out, Izaya is a Suppressor, someone who can stop Kyou when he snaps and goes crazy. Kyou forcefully takes Izaya with him to be his Suppressor and so begins there journey...

I would consider this manga for mature readers only

Update: Deadman Wonderland

     So, as I was looking through FUNimation's Youtube.com channel a few days ago and I spotted Deadman Wonderland right there with a SUB attached to it~ I have only watched a little into episode one because I don't seem to have the time nowadays but I will eventually - if only to compare the two.

Here is the link: Watch Deadman Wonderland on Youtube.com here~!  ^^

Mobile Manga Reading

     Travel a lot? Want to read your favorite mangas on the road but don't want to carry the whole entire series with you? Then, if you don't already now about it, let me tell you something awesome~ Mangafox.com actually has a mobile version to there website located at the bottom of the page in tiny print.
     I am not sure if other sites are doing it too but in my opinion they should; get with the times! This mobile version works great on my phone, not a lot of ads that take over the screen and such but sometimes the print is too small for me to make out which pisses me off. I know its not mangafox but the groups who are posting these chapters up to blame - and at the same time I love them because if it wasn't for them there wouldn't be such a thing as online manga reading. ::Sigh::
     Anyway, the site itself is mangafox.mobi/ and I hope this has help and/or made you as happy as I am with its discovery~

Ryuu Wa Tasogare no Yume o Miru

Ryuu Wa Tasogare no Yume o Miru (The Dragon Dreams of Twilight) by Himekawa Akira was an interesting read that I can't wait to see more of; sadly I could only find up to chapter three everywhere I looked so if anyone spots chapter four please, please leave a link for us all.

Genres: action, adventure, drama, fantasy, mystery, sci-fi, shounen, supernatural, tragedy

Summary: 


Hirasawa was the scientist in charge of a special lab specimen that was a fusion between dragon and human DNA, dubbed the "Archetype". But when he escapes the secret organization "Ilumine" which was employing him, taking his daughter Koyomi with him as he goes into hiding, Ilumine vows to track him down and retrieve the Archetype. 


T.J. is a professional "trapper" for Ilumine, and his job is to track down and destroy the monsters known as "Dicapay" that are wreaking havoc all over the world. The organization orders him to visit Hirasawa's island hideout and bring the specimen - now a partially matured Archetype named Kiya whose outward appearance is that of an adolescent boy - back to them.

I read the three chapters I could only find on Mangafox.com but as I was searching up chapter four (and came up empty handed) I noted that this manga was on a lot of different manga sites.

2,000 views~!

     Yay to over 2,000 views~!! Thank you guys so much, it really makes me want to make as many new post as I can ^^

     Lately I have been slowing down on the manga and watching more anime or reading fanfics (which I was playing with the idea of starting a blog for that as well - we'll see~) while trying to get some much needed work done. But worry not, manga is still the love of my life lol. I actually just finished reading a new one - or new to me - that I found while searching up information for a new story idea and will post it up here in no time.

     On a different note, isn't it awful that FUNimation will no longer be available on Fios? I don't know what to do with myself! Yes, I watched a lot of it on Youtube.com but I will miss it on my tv (~_~) I think the letter I got in the mail said it will stop airing on 3/15/12... so sad TT~TT   

     Okay, enough tears. Thank you viewers again~! See you in the next post ^^
