Lol, sorry Malon, I can't help you out much on that, I don't read much manga.
I do want to buy the 13 that's out for Suikoden, but I don't have enough money, lol.

I LOVE manga! I've read too many fo rmy own good xD My absolute favorites are FMA (vol 14 love <3), Full Moon wo Sagash ite (TakutoxMitsuki love <3) and X/1999 (every single character love <3).
I like Tsubasa, xXxHOLiC, Black Cat, Furuba and The Gentleman's Alliance Cross.
Where are you up to in Tsubasa, Kirei? #15 just came out here x.x I told myself I wouldn't read ahead on the internet, but after finding out about Fai's twin, I was all; OMG. MUST READ MORE.
It's hard resisting temptation D=

I knew you'd make a list, Din! xd
Actually, I've just started on the whole Tsubasa series. I'm only on volume 1, and I'm going to buy volume 2. sweatdrop The reason being is that manga is expensive, like Zelda said, and I've only begun to afford manga since I started my job. LOL! Have you read Vampire Knight? I'm like head-over-heels in love with it. <3

OMG. $9.99 US is like $12 something AUS! Damn, I have to pay $16-20 AU for my manga xD
But then again, it's more than just price difference that comes into account here.
I haven't read Vampire Knight. I think I saw it in the shops though. I read the first one of Trinity Blood yesterday, and it is awesome <3

I started on La Corda d'Oro. It's about a school with two sides: one side is a normal academic, and the other is a music academy. The music side holds a music competition. A girl from the academic side doesn't have musical talent at all. But when she gets a visit from a fairy, she recieves musical talent and is magically entered into the competition. It's really cool! I like it a lot because I love music. XD

It sounds good! =D I just finished Clover by CLAMP. It's really good! The drawings are simple and complicated at the same time. I just love how everything is mechanical <3
Clover is basically three short stories based around people whose lives have been afffected by the Clover Project. In a futuristic world, the military gathered up all the people in the world who had 'special' powers. They ranked them in order of strength-from a One Leaf Clover to Four Leaf Clover. The first story is about a girl named Su, who is the only Four Leaf Clover, and her journey to Fairy Park (which you might know from Tsubasa xD)
The second story is about a singer named Ora (whom you may also know from Tsubasa =3), her life and her friendship with Su. The third story is about a pair of twin Three Leaf Clovers, one who is calm and mature, and the other who is... just a bit crazy xD
It's really really good =3 And pretty short-only four volumes. But they're rare, so you'll be better off looking for scans xD

Okeys I join in now =3
What do I read... I read a lot of manga.... Out of books that I own I have Pita ten 1-8, I have Tokyo Mewmew 1-7, and both one and two of Tokyo Mewmew Al la mode, a small stack (probly about 8 ) of pokemon comics I would gladly call my first magas, I have 1-3 of .//Hack Twilight Braclet, I have Fruits Basket 1, 2, and 6, book 6 of Case Closed, 2 huge books of Trigun, and then I have books 1, 2, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 (my friend has the books I'm missing up to 16)
I also read Bleach (would rather read it then watch the Anime), Drama Con, Vampire Games, Roni Kinchin (sp?), Full Metal Alchemist, Alchino, Tsubasa, xXx Holic, Black Cat, got hooked onto Mega Tokyo through the manga, and there's probly a lot more I'm not thinking about.
A lot of my manga has been gifted to me, or I've found cheap at the anime story in the city or anime cons ( I love the $2 tables!!!) lol.. my best bargen has been by far the Trigun. I have two books of it and they're equle to 4 reguler mangas each. I bought them and a copy of Furuba for about 3 bucks each makeing my total $9 instead of $11... I sweet talked the guy at the anime shop to sell me the trigun for cheaper then the table said 3nodding He was putty in my hands!
Oh...wow... I posted a wittle more then I thought I would *blush* sorry about that.

I nearly got Black Cat vol. 1 and 2 for $13 AUS =O But then I was too alte D= (trust me, that is MEGA CHEAP for manga here xD)
My favorite place to shop is Kinokuniya =D They nearly always have what I want (except Vampire Knight vol. 1, dammit! x.x), and they're a while TEN DOLLARS cheaper than Borders. Black Cat is $18 in Borders and only $10 in Kinokuniya. Tsubasa and xxxHOLiC and just about everything by CLAMP is at least $20 in Borders and only around $10 in Kinokuniya. =3
And when in doubt...
USE EEEEEEBAY! =D
My feelings towards my manga has changed somehwat since my first post. My favorite series is now a three-way-tie between X, Tokyo Babylon and Black Cat. My other favorites are Clover, FMA, Vampire Knight and Death Note =D All the other series I've read I like, except for Furuba and Gentlemen's Alliance. I can't stand them anymore x.x

Manga isn't really big here, so the only place you can get it is in the big, commercial stores. I'll have you know, three years ago I'd never even heard of Borders. But then one opened and suddenly I'm buying all my books there instead of at Dymocks like I used to. But the thing is; No-where else sells manga. Dymocks and Angus & Robbinson started, but they didn't have a very big range, and there was no way they could compete with the giant that is Borders. The only bookshop with more manga than Borders is Kinokuniya, and that's all the way in Sydney x.x Too far for me to go very often. My parents complain enough as it is xD And I have to keep comming up with reasons for going there =3
