"Kyouko Mogami lived solely for her childhood friend Shoutaro "Shou" Fuwa. She follows Shou to Tokyo so that he may realize his dream of becoming a famous singer. When his dream is realized, Kyouko overhears the truth behind his decision to bringing her with him: he was using her as a maid.

Shocked and enraged, Kyouko swears to take revenge by outdoing him in show business. With a new look and a new attitude, she joins LME, the agency where Ren Tsuruga (Shou's rival and the #1 actor of LME) works, in the hopes of achieving her goal of destroying Shou's pride.

Along the way, she discovers her true self, makes new friends (and enemies), and finds herself at the heart of some interesting situations that will change her life, and the lives of all others involved, forever."

When i first found this manga was on the top of the list, i really didn't want to try it because it didn't appeal to me and i thought it would be boring and just plain a waste of time. Boy, was i wrong about that. Kyouko is full of girl power! yay! I mean what women doesn't cheer for a women wronged? I must say that after Kyouko was betrayed by Shoutaro she goes a little.... wrong in the head? insane? with the desire to revenge herself. Throughout the series even though she is hateful of shoutaro she still retains a innocence and naive personality that shows itself in the most random times. But you will never get bored of this manga because Kyouko is very very very good at acting and thus it's like there is more than just one person. I will give you two words: READ. THIS!

Renai Joujou



"Tsubasa, a normal teenage girl, promises to her dying grandfather that she'd fufill his last wish. However, it turns out that she must marry the heir of a tea ceremony school due to her grandfather's promise? What?! But, there are two heirs, so she must decide who to marry, or if to just run away from her problem."

A short, three chapter story about a love triangle. One of the cutest stories there is, and best of all the guys are super duper cute! The only draw-back, in my case is the shortness of the story. I would have liked it if the Manga continued so that there could be more plots and climaxes. The guy she choses is obvious, but hey thats a good point sometimes! I reccomend it. It wont take much time but would probably put a smile to your face.

Cutie Boy

"Lee Han-Ah used to be bullied in 2nd grade for having a “wide and flat” butt by a boy in her primary school and has hated him ever since. Now, in high school she is the celebrated, legendary captain of Il-Hwa Girls High School and she is seeking out a pretty boy boyfriend. What happens when she meets the mellow and seemingly perfect Yoo-Min?"About a girl thats crazy about good looking guys and a guy thats just crazy about her and well a little dim. The name 'Cutie Boy' accurately describes the main guy character... he turns out to be a little scary at first, but once you get to know what he is really thinking i garantee that you will say a great big "AWWW!" Watch how she finds out how he thinks and how she wraps him around her little finger.

Fullmetal alchemist

"In an alchemical transmutation gone wrong, Edward Elric lost his right arm and his left leg, and his brother Alphonse lost his entire body, ending up as nothing but a soul in an empty suit of armor.

Equipped with mechanical "automail" limbs, Edward becomes a state alchemist of the military and starts a long journey across the nation of Amestris along with his brother, trying to restore their bodies to their original shape by finding the so-called Philosopher's Stone, which is said to give an alchemist the ability to overlook the law of Equivalent Exchange.

At first the Elric brothers have that one goal in mind, however, as their journey continues they find themselves fighting for something that is much, much greater than they could have ever imagined."
One of the commonly known and best mangas. The story of the two brothers and their quest to help each other pull tears from the eyes of even the most unemotional people. Its a long series but is completed and has variation of anime series and a movie. Thats how good it is. The story line is addictive and clever. Mainly written for guys but girls don't be afraid to start reading it, just remember to do all your necessary work before hand, once you start... you cant stop! There are moments that will get you rolling on the floor laughing or getting your tissues for a good cry. The emotions this manga will make you go through is a rollercoaster!

Air master

WARNING: MATURE AUDIENCES RECOMMENDED

"By day, highschool girl Aikawa Maki is a normal girl who has fun with her classmates Yuu, Michiru, Renge and Mina. By night however, where streetfights take place, she becomes an unrivaled lethal air-borne attacks user with a succession of victories: Airmaster. Various strong people, fascinated by this girl's strength, will come to challenge her in battle...this vivid street-fighting comic starts here!!!"

A little something for both genders this time. Even though it is recommended for mature audiences there really isn't anything in there that you shouldn't see. The high school girls in this manga are all abnormal in their own ways... it's quite intresting to see how they interact with each other. The fighting scence are also very intresting to watch and gets you blood pumping.
