~Everything Else~

Liar Game -- Akiyama might just be the best criminal mastermind--ever. The art isn't the best, but the storyline MORE than makes up for it. I only have two words: Pure genius.

Congratulations! You are one of the 1 in 100,000 people who have been entered in the amazing LIAR GAME TOURNAMENT!
Along with the postcard there are 100 million yen in notes. That's the beginning of the Liar Game. When the game ends, in 30 days, you will have to return your 100 million. If your opponent steals them, he can keep them as a prize, and you will have a debt of 100 million...

Deadman Wonderland -- Mockingbird, Crow, Hummingbird . . . watch them try to kill each other with their blood, their branches of sin. Oh, and Shiro might just be hiding something. . . . Another personality perhaps?


Ganta Igarashi has been convicted of a crime that he hasn't committed, and sent to a new, privately owned and operated prison, where the inmates are the main attraction in a modern day twist to the gladiatorial coliseums of ancient times. Throw in a healthy dose of weird little girl, some new-found super powers, and a little conspiracy theory, and you have Deadman Wonderland.

Nononono -- Before you go "Ew! A manga about ski jumping, bleh!" It's good. I'm telling you, it's good. For all you cross-dressing/gender-bender fans out there, you might like this. Just saying!

Nonomiya Yuuta, a Skii Jumper aiming for Olympic Gold, bursts onto stage with his exceptional skills. However, his biggest problem is that he is not really a "HE"... This Yuuta is actually Nonomiya Yuuta's twin sister, Nonomiya Nono... And with Women's Skii Jump not being an Olympic catagory, hiding her true identity is the only way for her to achieve the dreams of her father and brother.

07 Ghost -- Let me make this clear first: Teito Klein is MINE! He is so damn cute! The seven ghosts are hot, but I'm willing to share. Not Teito though. Despite me making this sound like a shoujo--complete with hot guys--this isn't. It has one very epic story.

An elite is being trained. The "zaiphon" ability is being developed. Everyone's capabilities are different, and in many cases, reflect their nature... Shrouded in darkness, seven ghosts wait.

Loveless -- If you're homophobic, I suggest you don't touch this. If you're not . . . then IKE, IKE, IKE! Ritsuka is tied with Agito/Akito for cutest shota. The art in Loveless is to DIE for. And gawd, the whole concept is just . . . beautiful.

Aoyagi Ritsuka is one troubled 6th grader. Two years ago, he mysteriously lost his memory and developed an alternate personality. His mother constantly berates (and occasionally beats) him, asking what happened to the "real" Ritsuka, and his only defender and friend, his older brother Seimei, was recently killed.

Suddenly, Seimei's apparent "friend," Soubi, appears. Soubi tells him that Ritsuka's true name is "Loveless," and that Soubi was assigned by Seimei to take care of Ritsuka and protect him. Ritsuka soon gets sucked into a bizzare underground society where teams of people, a "Fighter Unit," and a "Sacrifice," battle using elaborate and beautifully-phrased spells.

He seeks both acceptance of himself, and the answer to the mystery of who killed his brother and why.
