I love manga! I'm so glad someone started this list! I'll vote for any shugo chara manga, same goes with vampire knight, I'm even going to add a few manga to the list for others to vote on!
Oh yeah, forgot to mention that they're coming out with a Twilight graphic novel! Stephanie is working with people to design the panels for the graphic novel! I'll try and add it to the graphic novel list as soon as I read it!

and we shouldn't have stuff like Asterix and Star War in a Manga list. >_<
btw, where is Rurouni Kenshin? it's my most fav. it's a shame that Kenshin is not listed here. T_T
Parakisu wrote: "Skip Beat. There is no competition. I'm surprised that only few people know about this series."yay. Skip Beat is so funny. xD i like that series too! :D
To me, Hana Yori Dango is the best ever (Boys over Flowers.) It kept me entertained the whole series (and it was very long), it was never predictable, the possible love choices were both awesome, the situations were hilarious, I actually CRIED, I cared about the characters, the female character did not annoy me to death, and more...xDI also voted for Death Note, Tokyo Mew Mew, School Rumble, Fullmetal Alchemist...All for different reasons. (: OMG, Absolute Boyfriend! -votes for it too-
I love Vampire knight is just amaizing. i love manga and anime Tsubasa Chronicla, xxx holic, naruto, death note...
What. The. F***. Vampire Knight is higher than Fullmetal Alchemist? Don't you people have any taste? >,,<
Yes Saffy, VK is to much of a romance to possibly be higher than FMA!! I guess there's too many teenage girls voting instead of guys or more mature girls.
dont read alot of manga, graphic novels, or anime. i LOVE kingdom hearts, (and im only reading the first one but its awesome) and amulet. both r great
flag as offensive (?)
