Ah! My Goddess
|
#1-22
and a Chibi Goddess Book
|
The artwork in these is really nice! I just recently got these (arigatou, koibito!! ^^) I have no idea if this is the entire series (though I doubt it.) The artwork in the first few issues is really different, but refines itself pretty quickly.
|
Angel Sanctuary
|
#1-10
|
This is another series with beautiful artwork. I have yet to read them, but from what I have heard, the story is very intricate and well thought through.
|
Angelic Layer
|
#1
|
This is the begining of a new CLAMP series that appears to be tackling the genre of tournament fighting with cute proxies.
|
Burai
|
#1-5
|
This series, as better described on Mibu no Ookami is a series based entirely on the Shinsengumi. Saitou is the main character, but unlike in Kenshin, all the characters are bishonen.
|
Bloody Roar
|
#1-2
|
*grins* well, I enjoyed the playstation games, and have always been interested in lycanthropes, so when I spotted this manga I couldn't resist grabbing it ^_^ - the artwork is pretty good, and the story looks interesting.
|
Card Captor Sakura
|
#1-12
|
Ahhh, yes CLAMP art... wonderful CLAMP. What other manga artist(s) have put out soo much quality artwork of what is looking like an attempt on every genre of anime and doing a damn good job of it?!
|
CLAMP Campus Detectives
|
#1-3
larger books #1-2
|
I really like the CLAMP artwork, and CCD is really cute. I generally don't go for the really shoujo stuff, but I make an exception for CCD.
|
Clover
|
#1-4
|
I think that this is CLAMP's newest series, and the artwork is absolutely gorgeous, though at this point I am not incredibly sure what it is about.
|
Cowboy Bebop
|
#1-2 (teal spines)
& 1-3 (black spines)
|
Like a couple other manga series, there are 2 different Cowboy Bebop manga series- one older one from '98 (which I assume came before the seires and has a more manga-esque style) and the other series which I only have the first of that has a style more similar to the anime.
|
Devil & Devil
|
#1-11
|
This is a cute, but pretty stereotypical Shonen series about an angel and a devil who both mortally wound eachother and fall to earth to save themselves by possessing 2 schoolboys.
|
Dragon Half
|
#1-7
|
I really liked the anime (all 2 eps of it) so decided to get the manga. The art gets really strange as it goes on, though and it can be rather ecchi from time to time.
|
Dukylon
|
#1-2
|
This, another CLAMP series, is set on the same campus as CLAMP Campus Detectives. This is about 2 boys who are the campus guardians and work under Nokoru from CCD. It's really cute and there is a lot of smarm between the two boys.
|
Escaflowne Shonen version
|
#1-6 and the 5th Novel
|
This is the shonen version, which is allright but the char. designs are really odd and different from the series. Like it sounds like, this is pretty much a stereotypical shonen manga with Hitomi with large breasts and clothes that don't seem to stay on...
|
Escaflowne Shoujo version
|
#1-2
|
I've finally found the shoujo version after much hunting. It's a little more like the TV series, but the character designs are still pretty different.
|
Evangelion
|
#2-5
|
Like just about everyone else, I really enjoyed the TV series. I had the opportunity to pick up some of the manga and went for it- I'm hoping to be able to complete the set.
|
Excel Saga
|
#1-6
|
If you've seen the TV series than you know how nuts this is. (Even though the TV series parodies even its own manga in addition to every other anime it can cram into an episode.)
|
Fruits Basket
|
#1-11
|
Adorable manga, feauturing characters that become animals when hugged by the opposite gender. Cute anime, whose ending just kind of leaves you hanging -.-
|
Flame of Recca
|
#1-15
|
I have yet to give this a thorough lookover, but from what I've heard I think I'd really like the seires, so I picked up the manga while in Japan.
|
Gorgeous Carat
|
#1-3
|
A really beautifully illustrated shounen-ai manga series with drop-dead gorgeous bishonen. Even better, there is wonderful costuming as it appears to be set at the turn of the century Europe - a wonderful resource for me for my own drawings as well :D
|
Gundam Wing
|
#1-3 and Endless Waltz
|
This manga series is surprisingly short to have spawned the epic and incredibly popular series! Also, the manga series is very focused on Heero, and unfortunately dosn't leave much room for development of the other characters.
|
Kaze Hikaru
|
#1-4
|
This is another manga series dedicated to the Shinsengumi. It has a cute art style with a kid being the main character. Apparently his friend is Okita and his master is Saitou.
|
Lodoss War (2 diff series)
|
#1-2 and 1-3
|
I saw like 3 different manga series for Lodoss War while in Japan and picked up a couple issues of 2 of them: one a lot like the OAVs and one more shoujo.
|
Lupin III (a really old series)
|
#10
new series #3-4
|
This is pretty weird and really old, but I've always liked the Lupin series, so piced this up for novelty's sake.
The new series is more up to date and even parodies modern american TV shows like the X-files ^^.
|
Macross Film Books "Super Dimention Fortress 1"
|
#1-2
|
These "maga" have screen caps for panels with dialogue written into the pictures like normal manga.
|
Magic Knights Rayearth (2 series)
|
#1-3 and 1-3
|
This manga, like all CLAMP manga, is absolutely gorgeous. Even if the series itself can get old, the manga more than justifies itself.
|
Mahou Tsukai Tai
|
#1-2 (TV version?) and #2-6
|
Like a lot of other manga series (and I don't know why) there are 2 different Mahou Tsukai Tai manga series. One of them is older and I think is the one the OAVs are based after. The artstyle is more sketchy and, well, manga-like. The second series I think Is TV series based and has a more anime style to it.
|
Master of Mosquiton
|
#1-4
|
Again, I picked up the manga because I really like what I've seen of the series, the art is a tad more cartoony, but I like it. I think there's more and I'd like to get it.
|
Maze
|
#1-2
|
Like Flame of Recca, Maze is a series I would like to see, but haven't had the chance yet.
|
Orphen
|
#1-5 and 2 special parody books
|
I think I like the Orphen manga and character designs even more than I like the series which is saying a lot. This is a nice manga series in my point of view.
|
Pet Shop of Horrors
|
#1-10
|
Ahh... this is an absolutely beautiful manga collection, and I've always loved mythical creatures, so this Manga is right up my alley! I really liked the anime, though I really wish that they would animate more of the manga- some of the stories are adorable! (also, unlike many manga series, they can actually draw animals!)
|
RG Veda
|
#1-4,6,8
|
Another beautifully drawn CLAMP series, this one a fantasy story with influence from India (?) Mythology.
|
Rurouni Kenshin
|
#1-28
|
Okay, I'm a little biased, but Kenshin is my favorite series and so I had to get the manga as well- which is awesome. The artwork is great and the story gets fleshed even more, without some of the more annoying fillers from the series.
|
Sabre Marionette J
|
#1-5
|
I liked the series allright, but I really dislike the artstyle in the manga. The marionettes are disturbingly well endowed and the art is very cartoony.
|
Shibas 1,2,3
|
2 and 5
|
The anime was released in the US under the title "Sorceror on the Rocks" and is a spin-off set in the bakuretsu hunter world. Like the anime, it is somewhat ecchi, but if ya sit back and just not take it seriously, it's a really funny series with a very pretty, though assholeish main character.
|
Shin Shunkaden
|
(1)
|
Another CLAMP manga, this one I had not heard of before I found it. I'm not sure if it's really new or really old. The genre seems to be a fairly traditional Japanese swordswoman story.
|
Shirahimeshyou
|
(1)
|
This is another of CLAMP's manga. (I collect CLAMP if you can' t tell.) If you've seen the short CLAMP in Wonderland, then you probably remember the woman riding the wolf. This is what that is from. It's one of their older manga, dating back to 1992.
|
Slayers
|
#1-6 +
a filmbook
|
I haven't had much chance to look through this yet- sorry ^_^;;
|
Tenchi Muyo
|
#1-12
|
Haven't looked at it much, but looks pretty cool. There is a LOT more but I only have the first four (manga gets really heavy when you're carrying it all over Tokyo :)
|
Tenshi ni Narumon
|
#1-2
|
Tenshi ni Narumon is about a little hyper cute girl who latches onto an usnsuspecting schoolboy and desires to become an angel. She has a family straight out of the Munsters but is more bright and colorful.
|
Tokyo Babylon
|
#1-7
|
Another epic manga series by CLAMP. A really interesting thig about CLAMP is that there is a continuity between almost all of their manga series. This details the relationship of Subaru and Seishuru, who later become Dragons in X.
|
Trigun (2 series)
|
#1-3 and 1-2 (thick versions) and Maximum #1-4
|
Even though I've seen very little of it, I really like Trigun- the manga is also really nice though I haven't had the leisure to look though it slowly though the art is nice. Another really cool thing about this manga is that under the more serious jacket of each of the manga is a parody of the cover. They're really hilarious!
|
Twin Signal
|
#1-6
|
Twin Signal is about an inventor and his grandson. He builds mand different types of humanoid robots, one of which, Signal, he builds as like a big brother to his grandson. Every time his grandson sneezes, the robot turns chibi. The series is pretty long despite the fact that the only anime they've released for it is a 3 part OAV. The plot is a lot more involved that what I've described, as there are lots of other robots, some hostile some not.
|
Utena
|
#1-5 + movie manga
|
Very nifty. Very confusing. Very different from the series. Very reccomended.
|
Vampire Princess Miyu
|
#1-3
|
It has a simple but elegant artstyle that really suits the feel of the manga. I like it :)
|
Wish
|
#1-4
|
LIke all the CLAMP books, the artstyle is very elegant and gorgeous. The chibi-angel is adorable and beautiful when normal- very diverse but well done.
|
X
|
#1-15
|
Again, CLAMP artwork is very pretty. Also, even though the movie was awesome, it tried to cover who knows how many volumes of manga in one movie- the manga actually allows character development!
|
Yami no Matsuei
|
#8
|
Oh Drool, the artwork in this manga is absolutely beautiful! I -really- want to purchase more of this series!!!
|
TOTAL:
|
309
(assuming my math is correct)
|
Whoo!
