Introducing Me

[Vishakha]

Hi I am Vishakha. I was an Otaku before I even knew what an Otaku meant.

I have been reading mangas and comic books in general since i was 7 years old.

The series that made me fall in love in particular with mangas was InuYasha and Naruto.

I asked my dad to get me one volume of naruto. He did. Then came the internet and i have never looked back.

I cant sleep without reading. And manga comprise a BIG part of what i read. I just recently re-red InuYasha and finished it in 10 days. (Please consider that i am a working professional now who has to spend 10 hours in office too :P)

My current favourite authors are Sakisaka Io, Mika Yamamori and Hajime Isayama

[Miss Ryoko, Supreme Overlord ;)]

Welcome Vishakha!! And Isayama-sama is amazing!!!

[Vishakha]

thank you! let's speard the otaku-dom \m/

Hi there Vishakha. I don't follow one mangaka or another but recently I have been counting down the days for the next volume of the Ancient Magus' Bride. I like the artwork in that one almost as much as Black Butler. :)

[Vishakha]

hey Ian! even I follow 20-25 different mangas at a time. I think my current favorite would definitely be onepunch man! that series is hilarious! and the art work is great too <3

Can't argue there I have to get around to ordering more of One Punch Man since everytime I try to pick up a copy it is sold out. :)

Hi, i'm Christina and I've been reading manga since I was five. My family is against all forms of manga and anime so being the rebel I am I read it anyway and watch despite their threats to take away my privileges. I shall always read manga and watch anime. I'm twenty and am currently reading Beauty Pop and watching a lot of anime.

[JadeShea]

Hi! My name is Whitney! I just started reading manga, and I've been watching anime constantly for a few weeks.

I really enjoy all of the characters, and my favorites so far are the ones with romance in them. Although, I'm having a hard time find some really good ones.

I just finished Skip Beat and now I'm super excited to read the manga!

Welcome to the club, I started with anime as well and didn't start reading manga until later. I loved both the Skip Beat anime as well as the manga series. If you enjoyed the anime you should really like the manga because it goes past were the anime left off.

[Miss Ryoko, Supreme Overlord ;)]

Welcome Christina and Whitney!

And good for you Christina to read and watch your passions. It's a very curious and interesting thing to me to wonder why someone could be so against something as vast as books and tv shows but I guess no matter what I'll never understand

its okay and they are just very religious so the church thinks manga and anime is a sin so i'm technically sinning in their eyes but that's them and not me. I believe what I want.

[Miss Ryoko, Supreme Overlord ;)]

Definitely. How a church can decide that one countries form of books and television is a sin compared to another's is ridiculous. Ah, but organized religion, this is why I don't subscribe to it ;) Glad you're here and enjoying the things you like though!

Thanks and yeah that's how it is with a lot of people. I try my best to be me even when they oppose my style and personality.

[Miss Ryoko, Supreme Overlord ;)]

Good for you! Get it gurl!

[She who must not be named]

Hi :)
I just recently started actually using my goodreads account and I can't believe there's an actual manga group! I have loved anime and manga since forver , but never really had anyone to obsess over it with. I hope this is the place for that :P

[Miss Ryoko, Supreme Overlord ;)]

Welcome to the group!!

[Hammie ( σㅅσ)]

Hello. ^^

My name's Hammie. I'm turning 21 in October. My anime/manga obsession started when I was in middle school with Detective Conan and Pokémon. :) I'd read pretty much anything but my favorite genres are yaoi, shounen, shoujo. I've been waiting for 8 years for a new season of D. Gray-Man, so I'm super duper excited right now. x]

[Miss Ryoko, Supreme Overlord ;)]

Welcome Hammie!!

[Starbubbles, Respected Elder]

Welcome everyone!

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ]

Hello. My name is Lorien and I'm a huge fan of manga. I haven't really watched any good animes that aren't disgusting or anything like that. I've been currently reading Fruits Basket and so far I like it. I have yet to read the whole series because the library doesn't have all the books. *sigh* I really want to know what happens next.

[Miss Ryoko, Supreme Overlord ;)]

Welcome Lorien!! Fruits Basket is great!! One of my all time faves!!

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ]

Miss Ryoko wrote: "Welcome Lorien!! Fruits Basket is great!! One of my all time faves!!"

I'm glad I found this group. Do you know if they aired Season 2 for Fruits Basket or has that not been made yet?

[Miss Ryoko, Supreme Overlord ;)]

As far as I know, it was never made

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ]

Miss Ryoko wrote: "As far as I know, it was never made"

Ah man. I was really hoping they would because the ending wasn't what I was hoping for it to be.

[Miss Ryoko, Supreme Overlord ;)]

Yes me too and it only spanned roughly half of the mangas.

[lorien ‧͙⁺˚*･༓ଳ]

I haven't read the whole series because our library has Vol. five, six, and eleven. For Ultimate Editions they have five and seven. Seven is in the process of being ordered and I really want to know what happens next!
Do you know if in the Ultimate Editions, inside does it come with multiple volumes?

[Miss Ryoko, Supreme Overlord ;)]

Well... I'm not 100% sure. According to amazon.com the ultimate editions put out by TokyoPop consisted of two volumes per book. TokyoPop went out of business in America many years ago, so if new ones are coming out, someone else is publishing them. There are other ones listed from a different company, but it doesn't show much information and Ultimate Edition book 3 isn't even out yet, so it'd be strange for the library to have the 5th one and ordering the 7th one if it's those copies.

My guess is it's probably the TokyoPop ones, in which case, I have some bad news... volume 7 will never be published because TokyoPop closed before it was released so it'll be "on order" at the library indefinitely

Ah, man. I was really hoping to find out what happened next. I just finished reading Fruits Basket Ultimate Edition 5 and that was at the library. I also looked on Barnes and Noble and looks like they have some in stock. I should probably check again though. Thanks for the info! : )

[Miss Ryoko, Supreme Overlord ;)]

You can still get the single volume ones. The series was published completely in the single volume sets. You can get them used on Amazon for a pretty decent price, though I'm not sure how long they'll be cheap... eventually they'll become hard to find since they aren't being published anymore and then prices go up.

[Cindy III]

Yen Press started releasing Fruits Basket in 2 in 1 volumes.

[Daniel]

Hi everyone. I'm Daniel, usually Dan or Danny depending on the preference of the person speaking. New to the group and to manga. Read comics since I was 10, not so much these days though. I'm getting back into anime lately too, I blame Netflix for that. As a kid the original Voltron reruns were everything. :) Looks to be a fun group with great suggestions to read. Started with Bleach, Ghost talkers Daydream, Bloody Cross, Attack on Titan, and Battle Royale. Looking to read a bit of everything.

[Miss Ryoko, Supreme Overlord ;)]

Welcome Dan! Attack on Titan and Battle Royale... such good manga!!!!

[Doc]

Hi there Danny. Good luck on reading a bit of everything. There is a lot out there. :)

As always Black Butler is suggest and recently I have been enjoying a series called Tohyo Game but be warned because that series is rated mature for adult content, gore, and violence.

[Daniel]

I've heard good things about Black Butler so I'll have to try that out. And I'll look into Tohyo Game too. I don't mind the violence. Thanks!

[Catherine]

Hello, all! My name is Xandra and I love manga and anime.
I typically just use goodreads and my book blog for novels, but I decided to start keeping track of the manga that I read, as well.
My favorite that I keep track of is Skip Beat, but I love just about most shoujo that I come across. Fantasy is also a particular favorite (like Yona of Dawn).

[Miss Ryoko, Supreme Overlord ;)]

Welcome Xandra!! Skip Beat is fun stuff!!

[Miss Ryoko, Supreme Overlord ;)]

Welcome Ponyo!!

Hi Xandra and I am going to say Yona of the Dawn is Fun stuff. I hope you have tried The Ancient Magus' Bride, Vol. 1 :)
