Have you seen a manga that you've planned on reading? What manga is on your wishlist that you haven't read before that you'd like to read?
I would like to read Full Moon, Abosolute Boyfriend, Pithi Pitchi Pitch, and Basilisk. Those are the series I would like to read in the future.
EDIT: I know, Basilisk doesn't seem right in that category but I like historical manga.

The next two manga on my list are Genshiken and Lovely Complex, due to both being strongly represented in the "Best Manga of 2006" thread I started awhile back. I've been looking at Genshiken for a while on top of that too.

I think I would like to continue with Bleach (I have the first 2 right now), but it's still going with no sign of stopping (isn't it?), so I don't know how much of an investment I would be making by continuing

I would like to read:
Hikaru no go
Mx0
They're just from the same mangaka of some of my favorite mangas.

I would really like to read Bleach and Naruto to find out what all the hype is about them. to find out why they are some of the most popular shonen series out there currently. I've been trying to find them at my local Book Off but they don't have the first couple volumes of Naruto, and they don't have any volumes of Bleach.

I've been wanting to read the Hunter X Hunter manga but I've only been able to find volume 7 at my local bookstore. I can't seem to find the early manga. Other than that I'm already reading a ton manga though just casual reading at the book store on the weekends. I'm interested in the BECK manga though, i'm interested in seeing how it differs from the anime which I love. The only other manga that interests me right now is the Flame of Recca Manga, but I can't seem to find anything beyond volume 1 -_-". Thats about it as i'm already reading: The Wallflower, One Piece, DeathNote, Fruits Basket, Busou Renkin and MAR.

I'd really like to check out the Princess Tutu manga, since I'm a fan of the anime series (even though I've heard that the manga isn't very similar to the anime and isn't nearly as good). I think it may be out of print now, though...
EDIT: Oh, nope, not out of print. Or, at the very least, it's still for sale on ADV's website. Maybe I should pick it up.

When I get some extra cash I'd really like to start Dragon Head, School Rumble, and NANA. I'm also considering buying Emma but I'm not sure. Is it worth it? I have some issues with CMX but I'm willing to give them another chance... maybe.

I was just organizing my manga shelves last night and came across a lonely volume 1 of Full Moon. I think I'm going to go put volume 2 into my cart on Amazon right now...

I've been wanting to read Ai Yori Aoshi for a while now. I like romantic comedies, & from what I've been hearing, this is one of the better ones, so my curoisity is piquing me.
There are also several titles I've been wanting to check out as well, to compare to the anime version, as well as to continue reading the story past the point where the anime version ends. These titles would be The Law of Ueki, Ouran High School Host Club, Air Gear, Negima!, & Tenjho Tenge. Though it's not (legally) possible for me to read TenTen unaltered at the moment.
As for CMX, other than TenTen, their other catalogue is fine enough. They seem to be taking good care of Emma at the moment.

For me, it would have to be Dragon Head. I skimmed through a couple of chapters at Barnes & Noble over a year ago, and the way it was set up and executed just stuck in my mind. For me, it was a little like Lord of the Flies, minus the littlun's. The sad part is, I've had the first two volumes for a while now, and haven't gotten a chance to crack them open yet .

I have Emma volumes 1 and 2 and it's worth it. The printing quality isn't that great, but the translation seems to be fine, and the manga is EXCELLENT.

I've heard a lot of people haven't been too impressed with the paper stock. On the CMX website they say it was done to 'compliment the time period of the story' Oh well, it's the content of the manga that counts. I'll have to pick it up next time I'm at the bookstore

Yeah, the paper's kinda...eh. (That's what I meant by 'printing quality', actually...the print itself is fine.) I can understand the idea they had behind it, but it reminds me more of...like thick coloring book paper.
I'm glad you're giving it a chance, regardless. I'm very pleased with it.

Mostly, I want to see about getting caught up on Negima and School Rumble again, and read more light novels, especially more Haruhi. :3

Hmmm well I've been meaning to read more of Hana-Kimi cause I find that series to be hilarious, and it really surprised me since it didn't really seem like the type of thing I would normally read.
Also I've been meaning to check out Berserk since lots of people say they really like that series, Eden: It's an Endless World! because it sounds like a plot I would find interesting, and X/1999 even though I know that Clamp has put it on indefinite hold I'm still really interested in reading the series.
Unfortunately I still have a bunch of series that I own and should finish before I start on new ones; plus with my College work load I haven't really had lots of free time to read. Oh well hopefully I will catch up when Summer hits and then check out some new series.
