Introducing Yourself


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 :)




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.

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).

I know. I love Yato so much it hurts me.

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.

Aww, thank you <3

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.)

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. :)


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.

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

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

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.








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



I haven't read the mangas for these series but the animes are great:






also there's



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 :)


No One, you have an identity. May I call you Bored now? :)

My fav mangas are Black B..."
So is your fascination with beautiful men, 19th century England, or demons in general? Welcome to the group by the way. :)

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. :)


Salutations Amy. Yet you are good at names for I can feel your affection for books from over here. I hope you can discover many more that you can share your day with. :)

Haha, I'd say demons in general, although the beautiful men are certainly an added bonus. XD

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.)

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. :)

Hi Zoe! Great choices. :) Did you know about this one?


(sorry for not tagging you but I tried it and it came out weird so I just did it like this instead.)
