1. DNAngel 1-5: The first manga I ever read. Unfortunately, I never got into it more after I finished all of these, until I was about 16. I was in 8th grade.
2. Love Hina 1, 2 & 3: The best Harem of all time. Ended up watching the anime so I never finished the manga
3. Fruits Basket Vol. 1: Bought this and liked it, but I didnt have the money to buy more and eventually forgot about it. I plan to buy the anime.
4. Gintama 1-10: Best gag-manga ever. Love this series. It's a shame they're doing away with it after Vol. 23 (in the states). I plan to buy the rest eventually.
5. Soul Eater 1-5: Love the characters and action sequences. Very stylized art. Love it.
6. Bakuman 1-4: My favorite Manga ever. I am buying them as they come out.
7. Death Note 1-12: Love everything about it. An absolute masterpiece. I've seen the anime and movies & read the manga. Can't wait for the US live action.
Yeah, it's taken me a while to get into Manga for real. Mostly, I used to be only an anime fan, but I've been switching my focus over to manga a lot more lately. I should have my collection up to about 150-200 volumes by the end of the year. :)
I need to get Gurren Lagann, 20th Century Boys, ToRaDoRa, Durarara, Great Teacher Onizuka, Monster, Beserk and a lot more.
