I've just finished reading Monster by Naoki Urasawa. I have to say, I think it's the best manga I've ever read. I was hooked! I actually think I preferred it to Death Note. I'm just gutted it ended.
Apparently there will be an American live action television series sometime soon, which seems really interesting. Hopefully it'll be a good adaptation.

Man, I've watched the first episodes of this anime... In fact, it's very good...
I wish I could start to read it now, but I'm already reading hundreds of different manga...

I usually read a whole bunch of manga at the same time, but then I forget all the different plotlines. When I started reading Monster, I kinda tossed all the others I was reading aside and focused on that one. I'm reading 4 or 5 series now.
I've started reading Oyasumi Punpun. Weirdest manga series ever...and that's saying something.

Scratch that. I'm now starting the third volume and, by God, it's cliché and silly. I have the same problem I have with all the other shoujo heroines who act like OMG THE WORLD IS GONNA END if they arenot friends with everyone. Come on, Ayumu, just tell the girls to bite themselves, reveal that Katsumi is a bondage fetish ass (although why I reacts so badly to someone finding out is strange, I mean who cares?) and don't care if he reveals that you cut yourself.

Started reading the manga Life, which I learned of through TVTropes cause some people are surprised that it's for younger audiences, although it deals with life problems, bullying and cutting yourself. Up to now, it's kinda cliché which I'll give it that. It should get better, though.

That is exactly why I flipped through this manga at the library, let out a sigh, and placed it right back on the shelf. I don't mind manga that have bullying as a theme or something--Koe no Katachi is good--but series like this are tiring and not at all interesting in my opinion.

Well I pulled myself through. I'm on Chapter 24 and - Okay, it took her 24 chapters, but Ayumu finally grew some balls and told her main bully "It's karma, bitch!" so yeah. AWESOME, Ayumu, Awesome!
Two thumbs up for the balls-bearing Ayumu!
Now just punch the everloving crap out of Minami or Manami or Mana or WHATEVER HER FUCKING NAME IS and make sure she finds out the boyfriend she doesn't even love has a sick (and I mean sick) bondage fetish and hope she reveals that she cheated on him and also took drugs!
Pleeeeeeeease tell me Ayumu will beat that bitch up... otherwise, I'll be forced to make a Minami-look-a-like in Shoujo Deconstruct and have her really suffer.

Most of the time shojo heroines don't do it for me because they don't punch the lights out of *insert jerk here* when they should. I'm not even reading this manga but I TOO hope that Ayumu keeps up this character growth. Best of luck from me.

For fuck's sakes, woman, if you don't feel like it, tell the guy! And if he doesn't get the message or says crap like, "But you're my girlfriend" or "Come on" then I'm certain a good punch in the groin will show how very much you are not in the mood!
Then again, I'm certain that boyfriend will turn out to be a jerk in the next chapter.
After all, he already showed a jerky side to him with that and saying how stupid it is to get attention by having bleached blond hair instead of getting noticed through your good grades. What a dick. I hope somebody throws him out a window, like it happened to one of those guys in Life.
Edit
Actually, scratch that. It's still the first chapter and she already beats the shit out of her bullies! Awesome! Yes! Smack 'em! Kick 'em! Smash their heads in with their desk! Ahaahahahahahaha!!

Yeah, I saw it was on indefinite hiatus.
Still, there's a lot there for me to read.
Over the holiday I plan on reading a whole load of books. I'm not really enjoying any of the novels I'm reading right now, but my bookshelves are so full, I can't buy any new ones till I've finished these. -_-

Also found myself getting pretty frustrated with Alice when she prepared to have sex the first time. For one, it was written like it was nothing. For another, she put the lube on before even climbing into bed with the guy... and as my mom said, "If you need lube, you're doing it wrong" and how you need to learn about some fucking foreplay! Stupid Alice, the lube gets put on during foreplay, and only then if you don't get wet enough. Stupid, stupid, woman.
And what a title, right? Now I'll Tell You Everything.
She could've called it "Spoilers for how it Ends" and you'd know.

Spoiler: In case anyone cares...
Now I started a manga called Heroine Shikkaku (Heroine No More) of a girl in high school who thinks that, just because she and this guy are childhood friends and she likes him, they'll end up together. You know, typical childhood friends turned lovers as they grow older.
But she realizes that she is not the "heroine" of the story and it deals with how she deals with having an unrequited love. She is pretty annoying when she thinks of herself as the heroine, but gets better. Already emotional at times. Also hilarious.

Ah, Heroine Shikkaku! Although the heroine of this story can be annoying at times, I like her overall, since she is hilarious. This story had a premise that I liked which kept me going with it.

Yeah. I mean, she is annoying at times, but I think the fact that she makes me laugh is what keeps me reading. Plus, it is a very nice change to the constant shoujo manga formula of actually getting the guy she wants. And those faces she makes at times - hilarious! And the style changes where she switches to that ancient Shoujo Manga look. And the Mila Superstar appearance.

Currently reading the new chapter of One Punch Man. Its about the strongest superhero on the planet whos only a C-rank hero in a world where superheroes are everywhere and there is an organization of super heros. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good gag manga about superheroes.
Another manga with some interesting faces. One Punch Man is very gaglike at times, but Yusuke Murata outdid himself with this one. It's pretty good.
(Some would say a detailed version of Gintama).

I love One Punch Man because of the gags. I love the whole story premise which is a good instead of always seeing the same damn ecchi manga's that have been becoming popular.

Not a recommendation since I don't read sci-fi and soforth, but Phillip K. Dick seems... interesting? Would you recommend him to someone who doesn't read sci-fi but is open-minded when it comes to genres? I have been interested in his works for a while.

Hahaha. I'm not reading it THAT slowly. It'll probably just take me a month or two. My personal best for reading LotR is actually 4 days, but that was when I was, like, 11 and it was during the summer. xD
