Shugo Chara is one of the series we are reading this month.

"Everybody at Seiyo Elementary thinks that stylish and super cool Amu has it all: But nobody knows the real Amu, a shy girl who wishes she had the courage to truly be herself. Changing Amu’s life is going to take more than wishes and dreams–it’s going to take a little magic! One morning, Amu finds a surprise in her bed: three strange little eggs. Each egg contains a Guardian Character, an angel-like being who can give her the power to be someone new. With the help of her Guardian Characters, Amu is about to discover that her true self is even more amazing than she ever dreamed."

So I gotta ask: What do you think your guardian character would be?

I'm not sure I'd have a guardian character. I think I'm pretty much the person I want to be (minus a few published books with my name on it, lol), so I'm not sure I'd get one. XD

So what does everyone think of Shugo Chara? What do you think of the guardian characters?

A.C. Harrah | 434 comments In answer to your first question, my guardian character would probably be some kind of mechanic/trucker. I am really envious of people who know the inner workings of cars and such, but whenever I contemplate taking a class I worry that they'll ask me to "operate" on my car for homework. Life being a cruel mistress that she is, this would of course result in me breaking the car right when I need it most with no clue how to fix it. Admittedly, that's rather pessimistic view of how things could go.


Anna (AnnaTheHaibane) I just don't get how the guardian characters.... work. How are they supposed to help you find the true you if they keep changing who you are?

Let's you experience being the person you want to be so you know how to be what you want to be?

...That's all I got. XD You know, I never really thought about it. I guess I always saw them as encouragement.

Yeah, I guess that makes sense. I do like it so far, even if it's very ridiculous (but what manga isn't...?)
:)

How does the anime compare to the manga so far?
