MANGA!!!

I love manga. I don't really remember when I figured out how awesome it was, but ever since then I've loved it. If you have no idea what manga is, it's a Japanese comic book that reads right to left instead of left to right.

I like a few different types of manga. I like action, adventure, comedy, shoujo, and (I'm not sure how to describe this another way) enough horror that it is pretty bloody and kind of creepy. If you have no idea what I was trying to describe, look up Black Butler.
I really like blood in action manga/ anime. In Fist of the North Star, people's heads explode all the time and it's awesome.
Shoujo manga is basically girly manga -.- I don't really like to admit that I like it and read it, so don't judge me.

Some awesome manga
Action: One Piece, Shaman King, Naruto(NOT Naruto Shippuden!!), Fist of the North Star, Hunter x Hunter, Full Metal Alchemist, Bleach, Dragon Ball

Shoujo: Fruits Basket, Dengeki Daisy, Mamotte! Lolipop, Tokyo Mew Mew, Beast Master

Comedy: Yotsuba&!, Azumanga Daioh, Choco Mimi, One Piece, PowerPuff Girls Z

Creppy-ish I was describing: Black Butler, Rozen Maiden, Death Note, Code Geass

I was watching anime as a kindergartner without even knowing it. I remember I'd stay up occasionally and watch Dragon Ball Z. I'd watch a show called DoReMi Magic Shop a few mornings on 4kids (by the way, 4kids ruins ALL anime) and I watched a little bit of Sailor Moon. Then I started watching Hamtaro, which they stopped showing on Cartoon Network >:( I had also been watching some of Hayao Miyazaki's movies. The one's I'd seen were My Neighbor Totoro, Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, and Spirited Away.

Around 2008, I started playing on a website called CartoonDollEmporium (I used to be a little more girly) and they and a reference to an anime called Rozen Maiden. I looked it up and watched a few episode and found a reference to Tokyo Mew Mew on CDE. Then I started watching that show and watched all 52 episodes on YouTube. Then I got into Mamotte Lolipop and Fruits Basket and I kept finding more and more anime. I'd stop watching some to watch a new one I'd found. Eventually, I figured out that most of the anime I'd been watching started out as manga. So I started reading manga and I got a little mixed up at first, but now I have two shelves on my bookcase full of manga.

Basically, now I read a whole lot of manga. I could get into it more, but I'll save that for another time.
