CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

Ok i need some help i like manga & i want to read some but i dont know what to get can u suggest some i don't care what it is action , comedy , romance ...dosen't matter but i do tend to like action/adventure. The only thing is i don't want any magical suff like spirts or black & white magic. Trust me that kind of stuff already got me into truble, & i dont mean by my parents i mean by my walk with God. So none of that stuff please

I'd suggest Fruits Basket. It's my absolute favorite.

what is it adventure, romance, comedy?

Well, it's romance, comedy, fantasy really. And there's a few short kung-fu fights, so add in a dash of action. In the words of Tohru "It's a fun-tastic fantasy-- or a Fantastic fun-tasy."

Ai Yori Aoshi. It's a comedy, it's funny, and Aoi-chan is just so darn cute and perfect! If you don't mind technological stuff, Saikano would also be good, it's about a girl who gets turned into the ultimate weapon, and the stress her boyfriend has to endure 'cuz of it. That's about all the non-magic manga I can think of at the moment (besides Evangelion...but you probably don't wanna read that).

How old are you? I'm curious because I don't know exactly what I should be recommending. While Saikano is suppose to be a really good story, it is for the +16 variety.

BTW, do you consider "magical girl" to be "magic". In your mind, does Sailor Moon do magic?

i'm 15. I don't like dark magic some magic i can handle but some i don't.

OH YA i just got the first Fruits basket & Ai yori aoshi:). So thank you for the suggestions.

No prob, that's why we're here, right?

Y'know, eventually I'm gonna have to watch or read Fruits Basket...

I highly recommend the Trigun and Trigun Maximum manga. Real good stuff.

Everybody say it with me now:

::all CAA members chorus with Rai:: RUROUNI KENSHIN!!!

Rai

The thing that bugs me most about Ai Yori Aoshi, though, is Tina and her "habit."

Ya........... Ai Yori Aoshi was diffently not my thing. To adult for my liking.

Candidate for goddess (These guys have EX abilities, but i don't think it counts as magic)
Rurouni Kenshin
One Piece (these guys eat special fruits that give them powers like having the properties of rubber.... does that count as magic?)
Prince of Tennis (Very safe... it's on tennis!)

Big O

Soooo can anyone else suggest anything, & i forget to add i don't want any thing sexual i like Fruits basket, but even thats pushing it for me. So if anyone has a suggestion please tell!

Well, if you want alost-clean-as-the-driven-snow, you could read Saint Tail. It's a magical girl-female Robin Hood manga. Both I and Gypsy are big fans of this manga. I'm not sure it's still being printed, but I'm sure you could get it off of ebay if you were interested. This was my first REAL and entire manga series, and I still love it!

Kool i got to check it out.

Check out Cowboy Bebop... no magic and it's pretty good (I liked the anime better than the manga) but I've only read vol. one so I dunno about clean-ness after that. That and the first volume of Jing King of the bandits was great and no magic... beyond the first volume I dunno, but it was in the kid's section at my bookstore so I doubt it's too bad.

Cool, so anyone else got suggestions?

Is Faye perhaps less endowed and more conceiled in the manga than the anime? Otherwise, I'd just want to give Sora the heads up that Faye's staple costume is somewhat seductive.

Well upto now, DNAngel has been pretty clean. The only thing I can think of is one scene where Daisuke stumbles in on a couple of girls changing. They're all atleast wearing under garments, and he's horriffied at what he's done. Then there's also one passage where one character suppsedly is cross dressing, but I have my suspicions that there's something else going one. One member said there's some shonen-ai undertones later in the series, but it was never really clarified.

Well i real dont mind if someone looks uh...... you know....um...well u know . I mean i love sonic x & look at rouge. So that dosn't real bother me.

Ok i went to the book store yesterday & saw Hack//legend of Twilight *didn't have money so couldn't by anything* but i thought it looked cool. Can anyone give me suggestions about it, like i said i don't want any magic, spirts, or anything like that, so if u could tell me about it, it would be helpful.

Depends on how you define magic.

.hack//Legend of the Twilight is set in a virtual world that is supposed to simulate MMORPGs(online RPGs). There are character classes called wavemasters who can use the elements to attack, just like mages in RPGs, although the whole thing is virtual reality.

There's a whole legend of the Twilight thread. Check it out there. They could probably help you better. (I've never read .Hack)

Well i got .Hack, it was good i liked it so if anybody else got any suggestions please tell me !!!

Well, if you like action/adventure, check out Rurouni Kenshin, One Piece, and Rave Master.

I highly recommend all three of them.

LOVE ACTION/ADVENTURE!!!!!! But is there any dark magic in them. I know there is none in One piece, but is there any in the other ones?

No, there is no magic of any kind in Kenshin. It's historical.

If you didn't mind .hack, than I doubt you will be bothered by Rave Master. It's got some light fantasy elements and such. I could possibly be wrong but I seriously don't think it has the "dark magic" that you are thinking of.

Naruto is awesome, but it might be too close to the magic you want to avoid. The characters make hand signs, then they can do something cool. It's more martial artsy than magical, but it's good to know it's there. I'd like to reinforce One
Piece. It's funny, it has plenty of action, and it's even low in swears. GREAT manga. I know little of the content of this one, but Beet the Vandel Buster looks REALLY good too. It's coming out in October. It's about this kid who becomes a vandel buster and fights monsters and vandels, the uber-monsters that make normal monsters. I'm going to get the first volume of that for sure. It comes out in October.
