Manga

I've read Death Note, Fruits Basket, and some manga about a girl with a robot boyfriend? And a manga about a girl who is dying (?) who wants to be a singer...and she's guarded by two ghosts (?) who committed suicide. I've always wanted to read Sailor Moon, but my library only has up to the 9th volume. :(

And good mangas to recommend? I prefer girlier and sillier mangas...although like I said, I read Death Note. If it's serous but very well written, I'd probably like it.

NOT Gantz

Try Ken Akamatsu's work. Or Kentaro Yabuki.

That is so familiar... I think I was shown the anime to it (subbed, if I remember correctly). Was singing painful for her? I've got a strange feeling that an animal (cat?) was involved too, but I could be wrong about that last part.

If you like sillier manga, you'd probably love the original Dragon Ball series (pre-Z). Nobody commits suicide & it's full of whimsy & weirdness.

Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Ouran High School Host Club, Skip-Beat, Absolute Boyfriend (yes, I actually read this), Black Butler (Kuroshi'tsuji) is actually pretty silly to me despite all the blood-spatters.

Ranma 1/2!

I think a lot of people did since Yuu Watase is one of Japan's most prominent shojo mangaka.

And on a similar note, I recommend Fushigi Yugi.

Also Gakuen Alice.

It's for children ya know.

Seriously though, it's adorable and hilarious.

I am reading Library Wars and Psyren. Library Wars is kind of romancey and your typical "manga for girls". Psyren is the opposite, quite action and mystery oriented.

Samurai Champloo was p. excellent but the lack of Nujabes (:ffvisad:) music diminishes its quality slightly.

And if you want some serious, well-written stuff....

Anything on that list.

Also if you want well-written "girly" stuff, Basara aka the Legend of Basara.

It's Full Moon, not a bad series I might add.

If you are looking for shojo manga you really can't go wrong with CLAMP.

I recommend from them:

Cardcaptor Sakura
Chobits
RG Veda
Tokyo Babylon
X/1999
Clover
Wish Resevoir Chronicles Tsubasa
xXx Holic
CLAMP School Detectives
Miyuki-Chan in Wonderland

For just good manga that isn't CLAMP:

Pluto
Here is Greenwood
Sailor Moon
Ranma 1/2
One-Pound Gospel
Rin-ne
Tenchi Muyo!
One Piece
Angel Sanctuary
Bakuman ~ Same team as Death Note but completely different genre

Angel Sanctuary is good but I just didn't get the feeling Jinx would like the gothic, dark tone of it.

Also the incest. That can turn some people off even if it's kinda forgotten about by the second or third volume.

I really enjoyed Vampire Knight. It gets weird, but what manga doesn't.

I was only willing to borrow Library Wars from my local library (lol) and they only had four volumes. Of course, I don't know how many there are supposed to be but the story made it seem as if there would be more. I started reading Psyren in another town two hours away from home. When I realized I could, I read the entire series online. I've since tried to pull this trick with various other titles only to find they don't have the rights to them. But I was able to get pretty far into Skip-Beat for which my library only has up to volume 30.

Also Wolf, lol, your Furu Mun o Sagatroute links to Full Moon o Sagatroute because the automatic censoring even altered the url. There's got to be a way to adjust the censor's recognition to something more precise because that's just ridiculous.

Here's Sagashi'te:

Fixed it, though I had to rid the link.

Angel Sanctuary is just a good series and if he like Death Note, I figured he wouldn't mind the more controversial elements of the series.
