Deadman Wonderland (manga) Very good
Doubt (manga by Y. Tonogai) Good Pretty much "Saw" but with high school kids.
Dramacon (world manga) Very good
(The) Drifting Classroom (manga) Excellent What a frightful story. Young children stuck in a world with nothing but their school and a waste land with man eating monsters. This story might not be new now (Load of the Flies and etc) but this was written in the 70s. It also looks like it was drawn in the 70s but that didn't stop me from putting it down. Though the open gapping mouths in every panel was kinda funny.
Elfen Lied (manga) Good
Fairy Cube (manga) Very good
Fall in love like a comic! (manga) So-so Wow... I'm trying to come back to comment on all of these, but I really don't remember much about this one. I remember the girl and her job, she was kinda a cute character... I guess this is why I gave it a so-so rating.
Flock of Angels (manga) Good
Fragments of Horror (manga) Excellent
Fruits Basket (manga) Good
Fullmetal Alchemist (manga) Masterpiece
Goth (manga) Good
Gun Blaze West (manga) Good It started out good and has potential to have a fun story. Sadly it was rushed which he explained why in the manga. If he does it over again, I would support it.
Gyo (manga) Excellent
Help!! (manga) Good
Higurashi When They Cry: Abducted by Demons Arc (manga) Excellent

Judge (manga) Very good
Kami-sama no Iu Toori (manga, M. Kaneshiro)
Kamikaze Girls (manga) Decent
Kieli (manga) Very good
Kimi wa Girlfriend (manga) Very good As short as this one is, I loved it. It might of gone longer and I most likely would of loved that, but it might of lost some of it's charm that way. I laugh out loud on how rude she is to the other girls but feel for her on how much she wants a female friend. I love the guy too. he just acts like your gay male friend, but isn't gay (I have a friend like that). It's just your fun short story. I would buy it if it ever comes to America.
Kingdom Hearts (manga) Good
Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories (manga) Good
Kobato. (manga) Good
Kodocha - Sana's Stage (manga) Very good How I enjoy this one. I read it so fast, I'm so surprise how much I remember about it. I've read it again for the fun of it. First, I just love the characters, they are funny, but can also be serious. Actually the whole story like that. It's fun and light hearted but can get dramatic and deep too. It's also interesting seeing the kids learning and growing to quite young adults. You really are growing up with them. However, is it realistic? meh probably not, but it was a whole hell of fun to read.
(The) Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (manga) Decent Aww Link is so darn cute but thats it. It felt like fanfic recap of the game. It had the story but it jumps around and throws in a bunch of lame gimmicks? I guess thats what I will call it... or more like fan service gimmicks.
Mad Love Chase (manga) Good
March Story (manga) Very good
Millennium Snow (manga) Very good
Million Tears (manga) I'm glad she came back even after 10 years to finish the story. At first I had a good rating, but now that it is actually finish I enjoyed it even more. It's a nice little romance with vampires and werewolves. And yes, it is better than Twilight (shorter too).
Moon Boy (manhwa) Excellent I just love this one! It's because it's stupid, but fun and interesting at the same time. I liked the magical girl world (and look, everyone is pretty) but with characters talking like it's an action shonen. The story makes sense, but it's stupid as well (bunny people living on the moon). Each volume comes with posters, I have all of them on my wall.
My Girlfriend's a Geek (manga) Very good How I learned so much otaku language from this one. I also get that "too close to home" feeling from it too. I've asked my boyfriend to try some butler role-playing (and for a geek, you think he be more willing... sigh), or ask him to go shopping with me and have him see me get all fangirl over anime things he can't understand. It's fun for the otaku inside (maybe mostly for the girl otakus).
My Little Monster (manga) Good
Puella Magi Madoka Magica (manga) Very good The anime is wonderful and should watch that first. However, this complements the anime by explaining things that you might of missed.
Punch! (manga) Good
Rave Master (manga) Decent This would have a higher rating if it didn't have that crapy "one year later" ending. It was the worst ending ever for me. Other than that, it was a fun read.
Resident Evil: The Marhawa Desire (manga) Good It was a fun read, but nothing special. it also doesn't add anything much to the Resident Evil franchise. i did enjoy it more than playing the 6th game alone.
Sensei no Okiniiri! (manga) Decent I feel really dirty reading this one, and I don't think I want to read something like this again. However, something had me read it to the end. Maybe it was a little sexy, I don't know.
Socrates in Love (manga) Very good What a sad, touching story that was able to tell it in one volume. The pacing was great and the feelings were genuine. I didn't read the light novel but it felt like a great adaption of the book.
Sorcerers and Secretaries (OEL manga)
Spiral: The Bonds of Reasoning (manga) Very good A fun read but when it comes to the end, it reminds me of this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=poDaiYKJFlo
Stray Dog (manga) Good
Suki: A Like Story (manga) Good Clamp is best at romance. It's a sweet story between a high schooler girl and her teacher/neighbor. They made the story work and not too gimmicky. Also it didn't feel creepy at all that he was twice her age. The only parts I really wasn't into was the story books parts. I understand why they had them but it wasn't interesting at all.
Tale of A White Night (manga)
Train Man: Densha Otoko (manga) Good
Uzumaki (manga) Excellent I can never look at spirals the same way again. This is one of the rare manga that really make you creep out, but really want to know what's going on. I highly recommend it.
Wish (manga) Very good What a sweet story, and one of Clamp's best (that I've read so far). The story not confusing, the art is simple enoght for me to read everything, and the story stands on it's own without crossing over with another Clamp story (however Wish does cross over with another story later on). It was a relaxing story, I liked it!

Will not finish Comment
Ai Ore! (manga) I liked the idea of the story where the two main characters look like the opposite gender. However I don't like the execution of the story. I guess I was hoping for more of a comedy playing up the idea, but instead got something more dull with a kinda creepy guy.
Attack on Titan: Junior High (manga)
Baby & Me (manga) it's cute but not for me.
Battle Royale (manga) After the rape with the mother, I couldn't keep reading. I love the movie but I think I'm going to have to make a pass on this one.
Cherry Juice (manga) Meh, they are into each other and it was so easy for them to be so. Kinda makes it boring that way.
Crimson Hero (manga)
Flame of Recca (manga) The main guy is a huge dork, saying stuff about wanting to be a ninja. It was kinda funny in that way. However, when him and his friends had to enter a fighting tournament, I was done. That stuff gets boring quick.
Gekka no Kimi (manga) He finds this one girl and has a lot of sex with her. And the whole time he talks about that, and some curse that happen in his past life. It just got boring after awhile.
Hana-Kimi (manga) I hate the main character from the start. "I'm going to leave everything behind, including my gender, to move half across the country to see a cute boy jump." Couldn't she just visit Japan to see him jump in person? But NO! that wouldn't be over 20 volumes of killing your time.
Hot Gimmick (manga) I couldn't get into it. That guy is just a huge dick.
Never Give Up (manga) It's kinda funny and kinda cute, but I'm not interested enough to read 13 volumes of it.
(The) Stellar Six of Gingacho (manga) I really want to read the rest of it, but I don't think there is a way for me to do that. Unless someone releases it.
Sumomomo, Momomo - The Strongest Bride on Earth (manga) Sometimes funny but that it. I feel really dirty when she opens her legs and says "have sex with me." I'm getting cold shivers just thinking about it.
Vassalord (manga) I should of known that I wouldn't be into this when I read the back of the book.
