Preferred Title: 07-Ghost Rating: 7 of 10 Status: Incomplete/ On-hold Volumes: 1-5 Personal Comment: I started buying 07-Ghost but I couldn't keep up reading'em so I stopped for now to spend my money on manga more important to me.
Preferred Title: Ai Ore Rating: 5 out of 10 Status: Unread Volumes: 1-2 Personal Comment: Got them for a very low price at a manga convention but they are japanese and that makes it pretty hard to read and I didn't take the time till now.
Preferred Title: Kuroshitsuji Rating: 10 out of 11 Status: Incomplete Volumes: 1-11 Personal Comment: My all-time favourite Manga, finally available in my home country. I'm buying every volume on its release day besides reading the latest chapters online.
Preferred Title: Bleach Rating: 8 out of 10 Status: Incomplete Volumes: 1-51 Personal Comment: Got every volume that's released in Germany so far but I'm also up-to-date with the latest chapters online.
Preferred Title: Blood Lad Rating: 8.5 out of 10 Status: Incomplete Volumes: 1 Personal Comment: A new series that caught my interest because of it's great drawing style and a what seems to be cool plot and characters.
Preferred Title: Ao no Exorcist Rating: 9.5 out of 10 Status: Incomplete Volumes: 1-2 Personal Comment: Finally Ao is being released over here and since I'm already reading the series online and love it I couldn't pass buying it.
Preferred Title: Detective Conan (GER) Rating: 7 out of 10 Status: Incomplete/ No intention of completing Volumes: 37- 56 Personal Comment: Loved the Anime as a child and the manga is nice as well but there are just too many volumes in which there's no real progress so I gave up the objective of completion.
Preferred Title: Code Geass Rating: 7 out of 10 Status: Incomplete Volumes: 1-6, 8 Personal Comment: Since I love the Anime I wanted to possess the Manga as well. Unfortunately I have to import it which makes it slightly more expensive. But there aren't too many volumes left till I've got'em all.
Preferred Title: D.Gray-Man Rating: 8.5 out of 10 Status: Incomplete Volumes: 1-4 Personal Comment:I adored the anime and I'm also reading the manga online. But I really want to have the whole series so I should continue buying the volumes again.
Preferred Title: Death Note Rating: 9.5 out of 10 Status: Completed Volumes: 1-13 Personal Comment: One ingenious manga which can't just be read but has to be possessed.
Preferred Title: Defense Devil Rating: 8 out of 10 Status: Incomplete Volumes: 1-4 Personal Comment: Brand-new in Germany and I immediately fell in love with the great character design and the setting. So now I've got yet another series to collect.
Preferred Title: Durarara Rating: 9.5 out of 10 Status: Incomplete Volumes: 1 Personal Comment: Together with Kuroshitsuji my most precious manga in this world. Resulting it's also among the elite on my shelf. I got this one imported from the USA and I hope the second volume will get here soon.
Preferred Title: Fullmetal Alchemist Rating: 8 out of 10 Status: Incomplete Volumes: 1-7 Personal Comment: I'm also very eager to complete this series or rather catch up with the latest volume but they are so freakin' expensive. That's why I have to take it slow.
Preferred Title: Mirai Nikki Rating: 8 out of 10 Status: Incomplete Volumes: 1-4 Personal Comment: Since I thought watching the Anime isn't enough I bought the first volume which is luckily already released in Germany. It doesn't have the greatest style but the story is just so freaking awesome that I'm yearning to complete it.
Preferred Title: Hana-Kimi Rating: 9 out of 10 Status: Incomplete Volumes: 14, 23 Personal Comment: Read the whole series but only bought volume 14 because of a certain characters' story (Umeda) and volume 23 because it's kind of an Omake volume. But I love Hana-Kimi so I really need to buy all of'em.
Preferred Title: Hetalia Rating: 7.5 out of 10 Status: Incomplete Volumes: 1 Personal Comment: Although it is way too expensive I have to buy it. I enjoyed the anime and was always planning to read it. And since the stories are in little snippets it is much more convenient to hold the manga in one's hand than to read it on a screen.
Preferred Title: Junjou Romantica Rating: 9 out of 10 Status: Incomplete Volumes: 1-2 Personal Comment: In love with the anime and the manga as well but I'm so slow concerning the purchase.
Preferred Title: K-On Rating: 7.5 out of 10 Status: Incomplete Volumes: 1 Personal Comment: I watched the anime. It was really nice. I thought I'd have to read the manga at some point as well. Now it's conveniently being released in Germany. My chance has come to get them all. They are expensive because of coloured pages but that's worth it.
Preferred Title: Sexexperiments (GER) Rating: 8 out of 10 Status: Completed Volumes: 1-2 Personal Comment: I love everything by Rie Honjoh and this little series is one of her best works imo. Although I'm kind of missing a 3rd volume.
Preferred Title: That one original Yaoi Manga Rating: 7 out of 10 Status: Incomplete/ No intention of completing Volumes: 1 Personal Comment: Got it on a manga convention when there were some good discounts. Although it's japanese I managed to read through it and it's quite cute. I won't be able to complete it though (except for the odd coincidence that it would be released in Germany).
Preferred Title: Kekkaishi Rating: 8.5 out of 10 Status: Incomplete Volumes: 1-18 Personal Comment: Buying every volume that gets released and I'm eager to continue that way.
Preferred Title: Golden Tales Rating: 9 out of 10 Status: Complete Volumes: 1 Personal Comment: Sweet stories with extraordinarily beautiful art and passion for detail.
Preferred Title: Kyo Kara Maoh Rating: 8 out of 10 Status: Incomplete Volumes: 1-8 Personal Comment: Fan of the Anime as well as the Manga and trying never to dismiss a volume that gets released here. It's working so far.
Preferred Title: Loveless Rating: 8.5 out of 10 Status: Incomplete Volumes: 1-10 Personal Comment: One of the my fave manga. After I had to wait for the 9th volume for about a year I' kept that patience for the 10th volume in March 2012. And now I hope it won't take another year for the 11th volume to be released...
Preferred Title: MÄR Rating: 8 out of 10 Status: Completed Volumes: 1-15 Personal Comment: At some point I discovered the series of MÄR and it was cool. Then I had to wait a long time for the last 2 or 3 volumes but eventually I managed to complete the series.
Preferred Title: Scripts of Rin (GER) Rating: 6 out of 10 Status: Completed Volumes: 1 Personal Comment: I'm more fan of the Shippuuden part but I thought these data books couldn't be too bad. Well, they are a bit underwhelming after all.
Preferred Title: Scripts of To (GER) Rating: 6 out of 10 Status: Completed Volumes: 1 Personal Comment: They just could've put Rin, Hyo and To together, that would have made more sense but well...
Preferred Title: Naruto/ Naruto Shippuuden Rating: 9 out of 10 Status: Incomplete Volumes: 1, 4-5, 7-9, 11-13, 18-54 Personal Comment: I was actually never fond of completing the 1st Naruto Series so that's why the Shippuuden Series is the more complete one. But eventually I want to possess all of them after all. It just looks better. Still I'm staying up-to-date via online scanlation.
Preferred Title: Scripts of Sha (GER) Rating: 7 out of 10 Status: Completed Volumes: 1 Personal Comment: It is slightly more interesting than the normal Naruto databooks because it features Shippuuden but it follows the same principle which is, as already mentioned, not too interesting and just for making more money.
Preferred Title: Scripts of Hyo (GER) Rating: 6 out of 10 Status: Completed Volumes: 1 Personal Comment: Actually not any more useful than Rin. But after purchasing the first I decided to buy'am all. That's simply the collector's instinct.
Preferred Title: Neon Genesis Evangelion Rating: 10 out of 10 Status: Incomplete Volumes: 1-12 Personal Comment: Also one friggin' awesome series which I regret to not have completed yet. But I'm on the best way...if only volume 13 would finally be released! ;)
Preferred Title: That other original Yaoi Manga Rating: 7 out of 10 Status: Completed Volumes: 1 Personal Comment: One more of those manga I bought at that convention for very little money. It's in japanese as well and it took a while to read through but it's cute. Yep.
Preferred Title: One Piece Rating: 8 out of 10 Status: Incomplete/ No intention of completing Volumes: 43 Personal Comment: I never collected the One Piece manga but strangely enough I bought this one volume. I think it was because my friend missed to lend it to me and I guess I was just impatient or something.
Preferred Title: Ouran High School Host Club Rating: 9 out of 10 Status: Incomplete Volumes: 1-3 Personal Comment: I really should buy more volumes of OHSHC because the story is much more complex than in the Anime. But I'm still at volume 3. Something has to happen.
Preferred Title: Pandora Hearts Rating: 10 out of 10 Status: Incomplete Volumes: 1-7 Personal Comment: I adored this manga from the first second I read it online. And than I was lucky enough to have it come to Germany. Now I'm not missing out on a single new volume.
Preferred Title: Katekyô Hitman Reborn Rating: 8 out of 10 Status: Incomplete Volumes: 1-5, 7-8 Personal Comment: As a fan of the Anime I also started to like the Manga but I'm not as fast as I'd like to be concerning the catching up. Meh.
Preferred Title: Sekaiichi Hatsukoi Rating: 9.5 out of 10 Status: Incomplete Volumes: 1-3 Personal Comment: After the Anime just stopped somewhere halfway I'm eagerly waiting for every new volume of the manga. Unfortunately they're getting released very slowly here.
Preferred Title: The Durarara Artbook Rating: 9.5 out of 10 Status: Completed Volumes: 1 Personal Comment: I got this for my birthday and it's the most ingenious artbook I've seen in a long time. It was expensive and I'm still feeling bad for the person who bought it for me but at the same time I'm so happy. It's fantastic and features one of my all-time favourite animes (and my fave light-novel)!
Preferred Title: Soul Eater Rating: 8.5 out of 10 Status: Incomplete Volumes: 1-16 Personal Comment: You can see a certain Kami-chan getting every new volume on the first day it's in the manga/book stores.
Preferred Title: Spiral Rating: 7 out of 10 Status: Incomplete/ No intention of completing (for now) Volumes: 1-2 Personal Comment: When I was in London I stumbled upon this and bought the first two volumes and liked'em. Than when I was back in Germany it got released here as well but somehow I lost my motivation to go on collecting. Somehow in this case multilingualism doesn't appeal so much to me.
Preferred Title: Tactics Rating: 9.5 out of 10 Status: Incomplete Volumes: 1-7 Personal Comment: It's such an old manga so that I had to get my 1st volume from a worker from the publishing company herself because they weren't reproducing it anymore. Now I heard volume 8 is finally be released. I hope that's true. It has been about a year or two...
Preferred Title: Beloved Weatherman (GER) Rating: 8 out of 10 Status: (apparently) Completed Volumes: 1-2 Personal Comment: Very cute manga. Actually it has finished and as far as I know no more volumes were created. But somehow some sources still say it's on-going. We'll see...
Preferred Title: Tyrant In love (GER) Rating: 9 out of 10 Status: Incomplete Volumes: 1-6 Personal Comment: One of my favourite Yaoi/Shonen-Ai Manga and also one of my first ones. All the time the publisher says it will be the final volume but other sources assure me that there are 8 volumes. That means I will have to wait a bit longer...
Preferred Title: World God Rating: 8.0 out of 10 Status: Incomplete Volumes: 1-4 Personal Comment: Now the series I love so much has finally come to Germany as well! I'll definitely collect it. Although the drawings aren't that overwhelming the characters and plot are unique and entertaining.
Preferred Title: Nightmare before Christmas Rating: 6 out of 10 Status: Completed Volumes: 1 Personal Comment: It was a birthday present and it's cool.
Preferred Title: Tokyo Mew Mew à la mode Rating: 6 out of 10 Status: Completed Volumes: 1-2 Personal Comment: After I watched the series I got to know that there was continuation. So because I wanted to know what happens after the main story I decided to buy 'À la mode' since it were only 2 volumes.
Preferred Title: Tribal 12 Rating: 7.5 out of 10 Status: Completed Volumes: 1-3 Personal Comment: This manga came outta nowhere. I saw it, it looked cool. I bought it, it was cool. Then it was finally over with 3 volumes. And although it's quite short, it remains a cool manga.
Preferred Title: That one Naruto Artbook Rating: 7 out of 10 Status: Completed Volumes: 1 Personal Comment: Bought it without thinking at some point and it's actually quite nice.
Kami-chan's rating:
Yup, yup. My Manga, that's it. :)
In alphabetical order.
I liked the way Naruto went before the Shonen Jump speedup. Somewhere in those twenty or so volumes, Naruto lost his edge and became too much of a goody-two-shoes.
One Piece has been my favorite manga along with Yu-Gi-Oh! ever since I started reading it beginning with Monthly Shonen Jump #1. I think Ultimate Muscle would make the list as well - I mean, I loved the heck out of the anime - but I'd like to start with the original series if it's even out.
I ja ne meeega manga sammlung, hammer :D da geht sicher viel platz & geld drauf. Geile Auswahl! aber n paar Klassiker noch dazu wär fein (je nach geschmack natürlich)
