i dont know if this topic already exists or if this should be in im looking.
can anyone give me the names of some well-translated english titles? im fluent in japanese but cant always buy in japanese. for example, i own battle royale volumes 1-8 in japanese but the distributor i get them from dosent carry tham any more so i was thinking of buying the rest in english.
other titles im interested in are 1001 nights, tetragrammon labyrinth, spiral: suiri no kizuna, and ya know, anything else that has been well translated. thank you in advance!

AWESOME!! Robbit! YOU SHOULD SRSLY GET THE 1001 NIGHTS VOLUMES!

It's the best thing I've ever spent on mangas!! So far it's published untill volume 6 and I've already pre-ordered vol. 7 on ebay.

can anyone give me the names of some well-translated english titles?

Sure thing!
Other GREAT titles from my manga collection are...

TokyoPop

Doll: IC in a DOLL vol. 1-6 COMPLETED
Shigeshoushi
Beautiful people
Blank Slate
Godchild (All of these are Highly recommended!)

Chuang Yi publication?
Vampire Knight <-- personally, Chuang Yi gives the BEST translation for VK. in fact, it's better than Shoujo beat/ Viz media.
Otomen
and LOL, Pokemon adventure is a MUST!!

Broccoli publication?
Murder Princess

(Broccoli and Chuang yi mangas have really good english translations and the mangas are not "Thick" since they printed it using high quality white paper)..but you can only purchase the Chuang yi mangas from Singapore though..the postage is quite high considering that we're halfway over the world from that country..)

Others?
Ikigami
Hana no namae
Calling You
A kiss for my Prince
and ofcourse, 1001 Nights

Tokyopop do offer really good english translations especially the works on Mihara Mitsukazu. I dont see a problem with Tokyopop, infact, I prefer it over Vizmedia. =D

>>Here's the Online shop for Chuang Yi..Mind you, they're very Poke'centric XDD

The online shop for Chuang Yi publication, it's a company from singapore and they offer loads of translations on mangas. They even PUBLISH manga volumes FASTER than Tokyopop and Vizmedia!!

and yes, it is expensive. The postage to England alone costs almost $10 and the manga price range is between USD$8-10. But the shipping is top-notch. It takes 4-7 days to get to this side of the world.
