Ah actually they aren't so wise but still while you're here I'd would like to take this time to recomend some things:
Manga
Absolute Boyfriend - Hilarious. A bit dodgy but we can all be mature about it.. ah who am I kidding? I'm very immature, but I haven't died from laughter yet so it shows it isn't that bad.
Info
"Rejected way too many times by good-looking (and unattainable) guys, shy Riiko Izawa goes online and signs up for a free trial of a mysterious Nightly Lover "figure." The very next day a cute naked guy is delivered to her door, and he wants to be her boyfriend!
Has Riiko died and gone to heaven? The cute guy turns out to be sweet, smart, a great cook, and lots more. And he looks like a million bucks, which is what he's going to cost Riiko if she doesn't return him in time..."
Girl Got Game - It's a bit like She's The Man but manga version.. and basketball. Another hilarious book. Only got the 1st volume though. Left me at a hilarious cliffhanger!
Info
"A father enrolls his daughter in a prestigious prep school ... as a boy! Kyo Aizawa finds herself masquerading as a boy at Seisyu Academy - which is famous for its boys' basketball program - so she can fulfill her father's dream of becoming an NBA basketball star.
Girl Got Game - published originally in Japan as Power!! - is a comedy/action manga, full of misunderstandings and gender-bending crossdressing!"
Tokyo Mew Mew - I was a weeny bit obsessed with the 4Kids dubbed anime (go on - laugh) a while back. During one of my Amazon shopping spreesI thought I'd give the manga a try. Glad I did. It's much better than the anime!
Info
"An accident at a museum endows 11-year old Ichigo Momomiya with the DNA of wildcats. Her new powers are put to the test when she is asked to join a secret group and is given the task of protecting the Earth from an unseen enemy."
Fruits Basket - I LOVE Fruits Basket!! I am a Yuki fan forever!! No matter what anyone says (yes you *
Beastbabe , ~
lozzieroo and ~
dannidoodles - YOU KYO TRAITORS!!) Fruits Basket is just so cute and funny. I WANT TO LIVE WITH THE SOHMAS!!
Info
"The enigmatic Sohma family shares a great secret, its members are possessed by spirits of the Chinese Zodiac, and when they are hugged by members of the opposite sex, they transform into their Zodiac animal! Tohru Honda, an orphaned high school freshman, is given lodging in the Sohma household in exchange for taking care of household chores. The humble Tohru is quite grateful for the Sohma family's generosity, and the longer she stays with them, the more they realize what a blessing she is in their lives, as well."
Drake and Josh Cine-Manga - Ok its not a proper manga but still.. *evil grin*! LOL! I love Drake and Josh so much! It features the Pilot episode and the Dune Buggy one too. Classic.
Info
"Drake and Josh are two guys with different personalities. REALLY different. Going to the same school is about the only thing they have in common. But that's about to change-in a big way. See, Josh and Drake are about to become stepbrothers-and roommates. How will buttoned-up, play-by-the-rules Josh and too-cool-for-school, party-dude Drake ever make it through high school sharing the same four walls? Hilariously, of course! Tune in and see for yourself!"
Anime
Fruits Basket - Adaptation of the manga. Absolutely brilliant. I could watch it over and over! If you could only ever watch one anime, Fruit Basket would be your best bet.
Info
"Fruits Basket is the story of a young high-school girl, Honda Tohru. Having lost her mother in a car accident, she has come to live alone in a tent in the forest near her school. Never a quiitter, she strives to honor her mother's memory and work hard to do the best she can with her life.
One day, she happens across a house in the woods, not far from her makeshift abode. The residents, Sohma Yuki and his cousin Shigure, aren't total strangers. Sohma is the coolest guy at Tohru's school!
Will the chance encounter lead to new friendships, and perhaps, a new romance? Why all the talk of the Chinese Zodiac? Why is the title "Fruits Basket"?"
Peach Girl - Love it! Finished the series the other day and I have the first 2 books on the way. My favourite is Kairi, he's perverted but he is so sweet! Sae is a character you can REALLY hate. Don't believe me? Just watch it..
Info
"Momo is a high school girl with stunning skin and red hair, and she looks a playgirl. Because of her looks, she is always prejudged. However, she has a purer mind than any one, but no classmates understand her. She has had a secret love for Toji since they were in junior high. Kairi who is the most popular guy in school is attracted by Momo. Sae looks totally opposite to Momo; she has a white skin, and looks delicate. In spite of her looks, she is a bad girl who keeps stealing other girl's boyfriends What will become of their love?"
Ouran High School Host Club - Watched the first three episodes yesterday. Absolutely hilarious. How I dragged myself away I do not know. But I have the first book on the way now! I can't wait to watch more. It is absolutely brilliant. I love the twins!!!
Info
"Ohran Academy is a high school which rich people go to, but Haruhi is a common girl who won a scholarship. Because her mother died and she has been reaised only by her father, she isn't interested in fashion, and she acts like a boy.
One day, she happens to enter the Host Club(*) room, and breaks 8 million yen vase. Because her family is not rich, she cannot afford to compensate the vase. The leader of the club ordered her to gather 100 guests as setoff against the debts. In this way, Haruhi become the 7th member to host girl students.
(*) Generally, the “Host Club” is a nightclub for ladies where male staffs serve female guests sitting next to them."
His and Her Circumstances - AKA Kare Kano. It's good but I wouldn't go crazy over it. Seen upto episode 9 I think it was. Didn't persuade me to get the manga but its still worth a peek.
Info
"Miyazawa Yukino has always been a show-off. She's always wanted to be Number One, to be the very best in everything, to be adored by all others. Then one day, she meets her match: Arima Soujiro, who seems about as perfect as she strives to be. But no one is quite what they seem ... for whenever Yukino goes home, off comes the "ojousama" facade - and on go the headbands, reading glasses, and sweats. Miss Congeniality is in fact a conniving, petty con-artist with a streak of absolute nerdy bliss. Of course, Yukino isn't the *only* one hiding a secret, since Arima himself isn't quite what he seems either. And these two are caught in a tennis love match that won't end until ..."
BECK: Mongolian Chop Squad - Only watched one episode. Completely different to the other animes I've been watching lol!!! I got all confuzzled when they started speaking in English. I was like "wtf?" but they were tourists. I need to pay more attention to things lol. Haven't been persuaded to buy the manga.. yet
Info
"Tanaka Yukio, whose nickname was Koyuki, was an ordinary student who didn't have special interests or specialties. One day, because he helped a strange dog named BECK, he got to know the dog's master.
He used to think of a pop star, Kuniyoshi Chiemi, who came from Okinawa as the best artist ever. However, the shocking meeting with a charismatic band group, Dying Bride, something in his life began to change."
So I have spent ages making this for you guys! I know you'll at least like one on the list! Give them a try! Also if you have any anime or manga recomendations for me I'd really appreciate it!!
Much luff xx
