Yeah, his art style is kinda hectic. But it's a good story.

I've decided to go through Aria, but in manga form this time. It's different enough from the anime (order of events, mostly) that it's still interesting and it's similar enough (in every other way) to make the calm music play in my head while the Undines go about their business in Neo-Venezia. It's fantastic and I'm going to be sad again when I finish it.

Is it alright if I say I'm not reading any manga at the moment :P . I guess I could start reading some of those Christian webmanga(s) that I vaguely remember but don't know the names of.

[spoiler]Well, I felt rather lost reading this. I've read everything before, but I felt like I missed a bunch of chapters, and the incoherent translation wasn't helping.
The rest of the Noah look more...generic...then I was expecting.

Besides my weekly One Piece offering, I just finished Battle Royale. The end was okay, almost enough to forget all the bad moments of the rest. Now I started Battle Blitz Royale, but I'm finding the character design quite hard to stomach. Also, the premise is not quite as attractive as the first one's. The few next chapters will decide if I drop it or not.

Lone Wolf and Cub vol. 11-13
Muhyo & Roji's Bureau of Supernatural Investigation vol. 1
Samurai Deeper Kyo vol. 33
Steel Ball Run vol. 10

Muhyo & Roji is something I discovered by chance at a convention, and decided to look into later. Charming Shounen, if pretty straight forward thus far.

Also, Lone Wolf and Cub, Retsudo Yagu is father of the year.

I finally got around to finishing the final arc in Rurouni Kenshin. It's not as epic as Kyoto, but it's way more satisfying, matters much more, and develops the characters more than anime filler.

M&R is awesome, I totally voucher for it. The first couple volumes are very episodic, with the pair solving random cases, but suddenly it explodes out in a really rich and overarching plot. I kept up with the scanlations until it became licensed, but now I haven't seen it around :waah!:

I specially liked the development of Yahiko in that last arc. He almost replaced Kenshin as main character while he was down.

Cage of Eden: A bunch of teenagers on a school trip have their plane go down on a strange island filled with dangerous prehistoric animals.

It gets bonus points for not being Jurassic Park and actually featuring extinct animals that aren't dinosaurs. Although, the general premise made me wonder how popular Lost is in Japan.

I'm reading Pandora Hearts vol 2.

I have kind of dropped 20th Century Boys. I'd love to finish it, but because I don't have a lot of time, there are usually huge gaps between when I read and then I can't remember what was going on and have to recap extensively.

Bloody Monday
A teenage hacker, his friends, and the elite agents of the PSST Third-I are all that are standing in the way of a strange terrorist group trying to release a deadly virus. And enemy spies could be in the most unlikely places...

This is a really addicting series. It's a bit similar to Death Note, as it showcases geniuses trying to outmaneuver each other, but it's by no means a DN clone. Also, it somehow makes me care about the minor and secondary characters who get killed off, and manages to keep a high level of tension throughout...

Amatsuki
During a field trip to a virtual reality simulation of the Edo Period, a high school student finds himself stranded in historical Japan...where humans and demons coexist as mortal enemies...and both want to use him to defy their fate.

I enjoyed the anime adaptation of this awhile back, despite it having no sense of closure. The premise sounds like a typical Japanese fantasy setting, but it has a likable cast, and is worth a read for fans of historical fantasy.
Also, the hinted science fiction elements that pop up periodically are intriguing.
It's quite dialogue-heavy, and an awkward translation isn't helping this however.

Bloody Monday sounds good, I'll give it a try.

I started 20th century boys and it is as great as most people agrees. I'm totally engrossed.
