And there's Yotsubato!, which is virtually impossible to dislike. Last edited by Odette at 7:05 am, Feb 1 ________________ Avatar by tassyn.livejournal.com Latest Series: Six Half

Fantasy / supernatural - Mushishi , Gogo Monster , Majo Psychological thriller - Monster , Billy Bat , Pluto , 20 Seiki Shounen Shounen-ai (You don't mind it, right?) - Zankoku na Kami ga Shihaisuru Adventure + comedy - Eroica Yori Ai wo Komete Cute - Yotsubato! , Noramimi , Kokoro ni Hana wo!! If you like cats / animals in general + comedy - Chii's Sweet Home , Doubutsu no Oishasan Sports - One Outs , Ping Pong Slice-of-life - YKK , Hanaotoko Action + historical - Vinland Saga , Historie Darkly psychological - Helter Skelter , Tekkonkinkreet , Pet Shop of Horrors Sci-fi - Himitsu Drama - Golden Days Historical + slice-of-life + action - Takemitsu Zamurai Game-show type mind-play - Liar Game Weird, creepy (and occasionally funny) horror + psychological undertones - Franken Fran , Soil Supernatural + slice-of-life - Natsume Yuujinchou Action + comedy - Get Backers (This gets much better later on, imo) And lastly, something outside my field of expertise; Romance - Maybe Blood Alone , Planetes , Marie no Kanaderu Ongaku and Otoyomegatari... Take your pick I hope at least one of these titles will make you feel the desire to read manga again! Last edited by calstine at 5:05 pm, Feb 1 ________________

Also Dengeki Daisy - for me it's one of the best shoujo that I read, Interesting, a little mystery and romance. Pandora Hearts - a really twisted and cool story. Kobato - heartwarming feeling. For more action D.Gray-man and great Fullmetal Alchemist. For good laugh and easy-to-like characters Ouran High School Host Club and Beauty Pop ________________
