I put on Tokyo Mew Mew because its AMAZING!!! :D
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!

Naomi wrote: "Oh yeah, forgot to mention that they're coming out with a Twilight manga! Stephanie is working with people to design the panels for the manga!

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
Skip Beat. There is no competition. I'm surprised that only few people know about this series.
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-
Where's all the One Piece and Geru Sama? That's the best one out there!
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? >,,<
You can add manga on the find/add bar to the right of the screen at the top...
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.
No Jojo's Bizarre Adventure? No One Piece?This site has no accounting for taste...
Yeah...One Piece. And that's one of the big three, too. 0_0
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
Blade of the Immortal.You know, you can add whatever you want to the list...
come on green eggs and ham,scarest book.
Why do I see Dr. Seuss on a scariest book list? That's just ridiculous
Anyone else notice how Stephen King kind of dominates the whole top 30?
The scariest book I have ever read is definetly the bible. According to it I am going straight to hell.
Magic wrote: "The scariest book I have ever read is definetly the bible. According to it I am going straight to hell."I agree!
Really scary books tend to give me nightmares. P. N. Elrod and Green Darkness gave me really bad ones. I knew a girl who should never have seen The Exorcist as after that movie not the book she could not sleep due to nightmares.
Anyone can add books to this list.
