I won the first volume at a Anime League picnic, is it any good? And when I say good, I mean will I like it. I am kinda new to shojo, I have only read Kare Kano before and the first volume of Peach Girl and I thought they were both okay but not amazing.
I just picked up not simple by Natsume Ono and The Museum of Terror by Junji Ito. Both excellent. I really like Ito's style and the small insanities that is comics always have (He also did Uzumaki.) Ono also did Restorante Paradiso, which I'm hoping to pick up soon.

I enjoy it. KareKano was great because it went further into the actual relationships of couples vs. most shojou which just tells the story of how people eventually get together.
Nana can be considered the same. However, instead of the occasional love triangle it's a dodecahedron instead. I think it's worth the go.
I will also say vol 21 was beyond worse than 20. I was crying with disbelief, even though it made sense. Vol 22 doesn't even have a street date. T_T

That because it's still to be continued in Japan. It's been on hiatus since the artist's sickness and have no idea when it will comeback. It's been over a year....*cry*

BECK is so awesome. I read volumes 3-6 today, and I'll start ordering the other volumes shortly. Like Scott Pilgrim, the main character strikes a chord with me. This series kicks ass.
EDIT: Tokyopop stalled it at volume 12. Bastards. Hopefully it comes back into print, or I'll need to torrent it.

Too bad Tokyopop stopped putting out new volumes.
You posted as I was editing. But yeah, it sucks. Apparently, they lost the rights and Kodansha isn't putting it out in english. I'll have to download the rest and maybe buy a Kindle.
The scans of Beck are readily available online, but the series cuts off without an ending because the writer put it on "hiatus". I've read it all though, and it's all very good. I think I prefer the anime, though.
Anybody else here read Saint Young Men? It's basically a really awesome manga based on this simple premise "Jesus and Buddha are roommates in modern day Tokyo". Check it out if you haven't.

I didn't know it was on hiatus. That makes me a sad panda. However, I've been considering buying the anime.

I've been considering reading it for a while. Never got to it, though.

I've been wanting to read it. It's so ludicrously popular, I can't figure out why it hasn't been licensed here.
Okay, so I have the opportunity to get all of Death Note, mint condition, for about $45-$50. Should I do it? Is the manga worth it?
$130 worth of a good manga for $50? That's a steal. Even if it was mediocre (which the later parts kind of are), that's still a really good deal. However, if you've watched that anime series, it's not worth your time to read the manga.

A friend recommended Kenji to me and it sounds interesting, has anyone here read it?
Also One Piece is ridiculous and frustrates me.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU........
ARGH!
Nana 21 doesn't come out until July. I'm so tempted to check the scanlations of it.

But yeah, I just read that about the author of Nana. Very sad.

Short answer: Yes, take that.
