"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.

Ah! Itosshi no Banchousama

"Because of her parents divorce, Hirayama Hayaka is forced out of a private school into a industrial school. When she arrives, she finds out that she is the only female student in that school, because all of the other girls transferred out! Apart from the great disparity between the number of boys and girls, she finds out that gansters still exist in this part of town. A conflict had also started between her classmate Katou Yuuni, a motherlike boy, and the gangsters. One incident leads to another, and she hits the previous school gang leader (and accidently knocks him out)! Furthermore, whoever defeats the school gang leader will be crowned as the new one. What does that possibly mean? Hayaka is now the school gang leader?!"

The story of an unexpectedly strong heroine when in dangerous situations. The story will make you want to root for both the main characters to get together- because everyone knows they like each other, except them. The whole story makes you wish that the school really was real just so you could be surronded by the cute yet silly characters but be warned - you would have to be quite strong to last more than a day. Hayaka not only unexpectedly brings her whole school under her control but other schools as well! Not on purpose, of course.

Absolute witch

"Skyla is a young witch in a world where witches no longer exist. On her way to meet her husband she is picked up by an easily bored old woman and her servant, and a mysterious alchemist. What adventures will Skyla face on her way to Wells??"
Despite the short blurb, i have recently picked up and started to read this manga again. There was a long period of time where chapters were not being translated so there are few chapters, and the start is a bit slow and unexciting - however the chapters are again being posted and it has finally started to get intresting. Really intresting.

The genres are: Adventure, Fantasy, Historical, Romance, Shoujo

Legend of the Sun Knight

"Meet the Sun Knight, the dashing leader of the Twelve Holy Knights. With his enchanting blue eyes, shining golden hair and dazzling smile, he's the epitome of perfection - the perfect representative of justice and compassion. Now meet the Sun Knight's true self - the cynical, sarcastic man who would rather be anything other than the overbearing Sun Knight who has to speak of the Light God in all his waking hours."
From the same author of the 1/2 prince this is also one of the funniest mangas i have every read! This manga has only recently started and has few chapters, yet has compelled me to pray for the rest. The legend of the Sun Knight is about the Sun knight and his friends and their adventures and most of all true and totally different personalities. Watching how the Sun knight lives out his days is the hilarious and most of all they're all totally cute!

1/2 Prince

"It is the year 2100 A.D. and humans have invented a virtual reality game called "Second Life". Feng Lan, due to a bet with her brother, vows to beat him in the game without using her feminine charm to attract others to help her. Thus, she becomes the first transgendered character in "Second Life" - in other words, she is the only person who has a gender in-game opposite from hers in real life. As her popularity rises due to her looks and bloodthirsty skills, can she keep her identity a secret from her loved ones and friends?

This manga is HILARIOUS! Not finished but i reckon its nearly there. As usual one of the best mangas i have read (lets just assume from now on that all the ones i am posting are!) There is love between the characters and a misunderstanding of the heroines sexuality... constantly. Add in the problems of being chased by hundreds of fan girls and the ups and downs of being a different gender - and this manga will keep you clutching your stomaches in laughter.

The genres for this manga are: Action, Adventure, Comedy, Fantasy, Gender Bender, Romance, Sci-fi, Shoujo, Shounen

"20 years ago, 14 heroes set out on a journey to stop the Wischtech threat. Three perish along the way and four abandon their mission and are labeled hence forth as the Lances of Betrayal. The remaining seven heroes destroy the Wischtech, fulfill their sealing mission and rid the world of the Lances of Betrayal. They return and become the pillars of support for the rebuilding of the empire. So forth the prestigious era starts.

Although the Lances of Betrayal were thought to have fallen, they return and begin forming a powerful army on the frontier. They pillage the towns, ravage the lands, and become the object of fear within the empire. Only a young man named "Koinzell", holder of the "Black Blade", has the power to annihilate these "Lances of Betrayal". Who is Koinzell? What is the object of his journey? Where did he come from? Could he be connected to the "Seven Heroes"?"

This is my favourite manga! And i must say im not afraid to admit that i cried every second/third page. hahahahaha! This manga just keeps you guessing right to the end. Unfortunately it hasn't finished yet and the progress of it has been stunted. However! good news is that it has been rumorded that it will be continuing this year sometime! I really recommend that you try this one, i usually don't try manga because of all the bad feedback it gets and whatever, but this one you should just ignore that stuff and dive into it! 99% of you will not regret it!

When Lena awakes, she finds herself in a strange kingdom...and learns that she may be its only hope. Left with few options, Lena is forced to disguise herself as a man. She must face many challenges and experience more than she ever would have expected. Adventure is on the forecast."

This is one of the best manhwas out there, in my option. A strong lead heroines; love triangles; tragedy; fantasy; and more! Its. very. addictive! And whats more it's completed! The ending is a bit rushed but it's better then starting to read, getting to the good point where it suddenly cuts off! *fume*
