I started reading manga lately on onemanga.com. I think I'm developing a liking for it. So what do you suggest that I read? What's your favorite? Do you buy your manga, read online, or download them? :) Thank you. :)

Genshiken Sample - Genshiken is known particularly for its down-to-Earth portrayal of otaku in Japan, who have frequently been stereotyped or otherwise caricatured by the Japanese media. It represents their habits and personal quirks without flinching, subtly criticizing its characters at times, but never sacrificing their humanity. Author Kio Shimoku also shows a great familiarity of his own with prominent anime and manga from the 1960s onward; this allows him to breathe more life into the characters, as the passing references they make (even when the names of the series are changed for legal reasons) cover a wide range of genres and timeframes, and suitably obscure for those who are supposed to be steeped in the medium.

I also read mangas there on onemanga.com and I think I have finished a couple of titles thanks to that site (^_^ )Favourites would depend on the interest of every reader. Mine would go around categories of mostly on Shonen and Shojo. Other times with Seine or Josei. Genres like romance, comedy, school-life, slice-of-life are often what I look for. I mostly like to read those that are already complete so that I wouldn't wait on upcoming chapter to be available but, sometimes interest just pushes me on and gets me hung up on waiting for new chapters if the manga series is still ongoing. Mostly read on-line but, its still nice to actually hold a copy of a manga if not have the complete series in your computer.. My favourite manga by the way would be Genshiken (^_^ )

Yeah, I'm a manga reader, and I'm proud to find more manga reader here in myLot! :D Well, I just don't feel well reading things on the screen.. It just doesn't keeps my attention on, 'cause there will be people trying to talk to me and so and, then, i'll not have full concentration in the manga. Because of that, I have to buy my mangas (Yeah, I spend some precious money on it, but i's very nice seeing them in the shelf. ^^). The last one I've read was Monster.. Such a master piece! But I've read Paradise Kiss and Battle Royale too, for example. =)

I used to buy my manga or borrow from my sister, but that got expensive and my sister doesn't live close to me. So I have been reading from onemanga too. I like Addicted to Curry, Wallflower, Red River, Mars, Fairy Tale, Fruits Basket, Paradise Kiss, Hana-Kimi, Full Metal Alchemist to name a few. There are so many different kinds out there, there really is something for everyone's taste.

My favourite manga of all time is 20th century boys. I finished it not too long ago and I think it wrapped up pretty well. They're making a movie of it and is due to release soon so I'm looking out for that as well.

I started reading manga because my favorite tv shows and animes were from manga. Tv show like hana kimi, princess hour (i know this has a different name in manga), prince of tennis and many more. So i would like to recommend to you a manga that i read because it was on the top list of one of the forums i visited. It's a Hot Gimmick. That's the firts manga i read without the influence of a tv series or anime. Hope it would be created into one. By the way it's genre is romance so if you like romance i suggest this one to you. I just read them online because i can't see a store here in my country that sells one. I can't afford to buy it online so I read them online and if i love them i download it. :). Happy reading!
