What's up Eh tha lay, I've surprisingly haven't met many people who've watched Code Geass. It's up there in my top 5 animes. How is All Lull in the sea?


Dani (ダニ ¦ 다니) (itsdanidee) Hi, my name is Dani and I love to read Manga, Comics and I watch Anime. I love supernatural, angsty, sports and slice of life manga but I read about anything if the story catches my eye and the characters are awesome. For me it's characters before plot so if I don't like or connect with characters I won't read it. I currently stay low with Anime because I wanna read the Manga first usually but my favourite anime is Free! and I currently watch Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. I also have a youtube channel where I talk about what I read.

Hi there Dani. I know what you mean. I try to read books before I see any movies they are based upon. Some manga are just better than their anime counterparts. I wonder if I read Black Butler before watching it if I would have liked it better in anime form now though.

Try this one. I just picked up the second volume today. :) The Ghost and the Lady, Book 1

This sounds interesting. I'll look into it and maybe buy the first volume to see if I like it. Thanks for the suggestion :)

Sarah Bellus | 1 comments Hi, I'm Sarah. I'm new to this site and group. I'm also an aspiring manga/comic artist/writer. I have a bunch of idea on the back burner. lol I'm excited to see what this site is about and hope that this group is what i'm looking for. ^_^

BriTastic (britasticreads) | 34 comments My name is Bri and I absolutely love to read manga (specifically shoujo although I am open to try any genre. Currently I am reading a slew of series that without Goodreads I would never remember for the life of me! While I don't buy manga, I work in two different library systems with 17 branches in each one (totaling 34 branches combined) so while they may not have every manga/volume I would like, they certainly have plenty to choose from!


message 707: by Anne (new)

Anne Wi | 24 comments Hi Bri, you are so lucky to have such a great library system. I do not buy manga either as I have a great library system in my community too. I must say I do not think I will ever run out of manga to check out. I also have access to DVD's and BluRay's through my system.

I have access to blu-rays through one of the systems but not the other. With my work schedule though, I don't really have time to watch television! >_<

Sorry for the late reply, I recommend watching lull in the sea it's a mix up romance.

i like to read books, manga and watch anime.


message 711: by Valeria (new)

Valeria Laurino (valerialaurino) | 48 comments Hi! My name is Valerie and, like all of you here, I love to watch anime and read manga. I haven't read as many as I would like, though. I've only read a handful of mangas, although I'm reading 7 that are currently publishing.
My favorite genre for both anime and manga is shounen fantasy. I also like psychological and romance.
My favorite mangas are InuYasha, Noragami and FullMetal Alchemist. My favorite animes are also the adaptation of these three, plus Zankyou no Terror, Sword Art Online, and Ushio to Tora (TV).

Haha. Have you seen Season 2?"


Of course :) It's not as good as the first one because the arcs were longer in the manga but had to be shortened in the anime, but it was still amazing.

Doc (docpersona) | 281 comments Greetings Jessica and Valerie. May your light shine bright so you may read whenever you wish. :)

Oops how did I miss you Yana? Must have missed that next page. :)

Welcome to the group. I agree with Manga>Anime though it is nice to see some of your favorites animated even if they sacrifice some of the story or change it completely because they are running out of time or not enough manga has been released yet.

So far the only anime I don't particularly care for has been the Black Butler 2nd season where it seemed they had to end on a happier note considering Ciel's cost to play the game (if anyone doesn't know what I am talking about you should be reading Black Butler or at least see the last episode of the 1st season.)


message 717: by Anne (new)

Anne Wi | 24 comments I've been slacking myself in watching anime lately.

Don't let it get you down Anne. When the time comes you will be ready to dive into whatever world you wish to watch. :)


✎• нυѕηαн Hey there, I'm Husnah. I'm an avid anime watcher :p but steer clear from the romance genre.. The only manga that I read are One Piece and Shokugeki no Soma..

Hey there Husnah. Romance is certainly not for everyone but thankfully there are many non romance anime and books out there to choose from. :)

I for one just picked up Platinum End, Vol. 2 which is from the same people that brought us Death Note.

L.C. Perry | 69 comments I'm surprised I just recently found this group! :0 I remember looking for anime goodreads groups before and this didn't pop up. Huh. Well, anyway, I'll introduce myself! :)

Hey everyone! My name is L.C. Perry and I am in love with anime. I also read manga as well but I'm more likely to watch anime because it's easier to access for me :)
I'm also an author and I have a trilogy out right now that was influenced largely by anime haha.
Some favorites of mine are Naruto, Bleach, FMA/FMAB, My Hero Academia, Akatsuki no Yona, Noragami and Katekyo Hitman Reborn.
I'm super friendly and I love to chat about anime and books! Nice to meet you all :D

Hi Ian
As I love Death note, and L greatly, I'll have to check Platinum End. Hopefully I'll like it :)

I've been reading Platinum End since it started and, to be honest, it's not that great. It's good (the art is fantastic), but it's not exciting. For me, at least. It's like Mirai Nikki and Death Note mixed together.

Hi Valerie, I wouldn't know until I check it out as I've not read Mirai Nikki. Moreover I'm more immersed in the 2 animes that I've mentioned aboved, One piece and Shokugeki no Soma which I followed every updates closely and is a huge fan :)

That name is good for when you have to escape the cyclops Polyphemus. Anyway welcome to the group No One (Oh boy that almost makes me sound mean lol.) :)

Here are a few title drops to get you started.
The Ancient Magus' Bride, Vol. 1 (The Ancient Magus' Bride, #1) by Kore Yamazaki Noragami, Band 1 (Noragami Stray God, #1) by Adachitoka ニセコイ 1 Fake Love 1 (Nisekoi, #1) by Naoshi Komi Oh My Goddess!, Volume 1 by Kosuke Fujishima Black Butler, Vol. 1 (Black Butler, #1) by Yana Toboso Interviews with Monster Girls Vol. 1 by Petos Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid Vol. 1 by Coolkyoushinnjya


message 726: by Ericka (new)

Ericka | 4 comments Hi, I'm Ericka, and I like to read a lot of different types of manga. I most recently started reading Vinland Saga. Some of my favorite manga series are: Sailor Moon, Twin Spica, Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer, and Mushi-shi.

I read a lot of different types of books, too, but mostly I find myself leaning toward fantasy.

Welcome to the group No One. Your name kinda reminds me of No Face lol

here are some manga recs
Fullmetal Alchemist, Vol. 1 (Fullmetal Alchemist, #1) by Hiromu Arakawa -one of the first mangas I ever read, I can't rec it enough
ワンパンマン 1 Wanpanman 1 (Onepunch-Man, #1) by ONE -fantastic if you want a hilarious manga
僕のヒーローアカデミア 1 Boku No Hero Academia 1 (My Hero Academia, #1) by Kohei Horikoshi -BnHA is probably my favorite manga ever now

I haven't read the mangas for these series but the animes are great:
食戟のソーマ 1 Shokugeki no Souma 1 (Food Wars Shokugeki no Soma, #1) by Yuto Tsukuda -all foodporn and ecchi, but even if ecchi isn't your thing this is still a great series to get into for the plot and characters. also the food.
Parasyte, Volume 1 by Hitoshi Iwaaki
僕だけがいない街 1 Boku dake ga Inai Machi 1  by Kei Sanbe
Hunter x Hunter, Vol. 01 (Hunter x Hunter, #1) by Yoshihiro Togashi
銀の匙 Silver Spoon 1 Gin no Saji Silver Spoon 1  by Hiromu Arakawa -by the same mangaka as FMA (first rec); a much more lighthearted series overall
モブサイコ100 1 (Mob Psycho 100, #1) by ONE -by the same mangaka as OPM (second rec); lots of humor, but a much more serious series

also there's 進撃の巨人 1 Shingeki no Kyojin 1 (Attack on Titan, #1) by Hajime Isayama SnK. I don't personally like the art style so I only watch the anime, but it's a good series.

Doc (docpersona) | 281 comments Hi Erika. Vinland Saga is a great series to get your teeth into. I hope you get to experience all sorts of fun titles in the future too. :)


message 729: by Tathy (new)

Tathy (twicebookish) Hi! I'm Tathy, I like to read manga and books. I love to watch Anime, Tv Shows and Movies. But be warned I can be very picky when it comes to to what I read and watch! XD
My fav mangas are Black Butler and Devils and Realist (do you see the patern). I'm always open to suggestions! I always consider them and at least read the synopsis before making up my mind :)


message 730: by Michelle (last edited Jun 13, 2017 11:58PM) (new)

Michelle Kobus (rainbowsunset) Hi, I'm Michelle! My favorite manga is D.Gray-man and Black Butler, and Noragami is becoming an intense favorite with each passing volume...though there are more I also love (but those are the absolute ones). Anime is also an interest of mine. I can go a while without manga and anime, and then it'll be all I do for a while; but I do always come back to it, most importantly. :)

Welcome to the group Michelle. :)
Gotta admit whenever a new Black Butler comes out I am picking it up as soon as i can. I miss not having to wait a year for each volume though...ah well. Other series I am up to date with and looking forward to the next volume are The Ancient Magus' Bride, Vol. 1, Fairy Tail, Vol. 1, and recently thanks to a buy 2 get 1 free sale at B&N My Love Story!!, Vol. 1. :)

I have been reading an interesting Viz title called 7th Garden, Vol. 1 which is a tale about a demoness who was once an angel but was betrayed by her kin and now she seeks revenge. I also like to suggest The Ancient Magus' Bride, Vol. 1 which has a lot of supernatural elements and magic (of course) and the main male character is half unseelie from what I gather making him rather demon like. Finally I started reading the The Girl from the Other Side: Siúil, a Rún Vol. 1 which deals with a curse that turns people into demons and how one demon is trying to protect a normal looking little girl. I should pick up volume two soon to get an explanation of the end of volume 1. :)

These sound interesting! And I've definitely seen The Ancient Magus' Bride and The Girl from the Other Side a good handful of times. I'll definitely look into these titles once I'm caught up with the ones I own :) Thanks a bunch for the suggestions :D

No problem. While looking up info on Kamisama Kiss I noticed another series which I haven't read yet. So I'll throw that on the list (and why not Kamisama Kiss too which has yokai too.)

Karen Chapero | 2 comments Hi I'm Karen. I have read all of Attack on Titan, Death Note, Tokyo Ghoul, Soul Eater, Fullmetal Alchemist, and Fairy Tail (though I had to stop at volume 39 cause I'm on a tight budget to buy the next volumes). So I basically have a shelf filled with volumes of each manga series.

Hi Lauren I hope you continue to have fun as the worlds of manga open up to you. After finishing Death Note why not try Platinum End, Vol. 1. It has the same creators, low Viz prices, and now shiny covers. :)

Hi Karen. I know what you mean about budgeting manga. I save up a little each pay period to make sure I got money for buy 2 get 1 free sales. I almost have all of Kamisama Kiss coming soon and last year I acquired 31 to I believe 50 something of Fairy Tail so I have been able to keep up easier now. :)
Have you seen Soul Eater Not! yet? I haven't read it myself but it looked fun.

Hi there Callum. :)
Have you tried Clockwork Planet 1? Same guy as No Game No Life. Also you should try 7th Garden, Vol. 1 which is put out by the thankfully cheaper Viz organization. Be sure to look at my list for ideas if you want. :)
