WOAH! The Special A manga is fun to read! I didn't know they made it into an anime XD I like the manga art style a lot. Sadly, I have read A LOOOOOT of manga in the last year and about 8-14 of them have this sort of ranked class plot... But at least Special A is KareKano-eqsue in that both characters are in Special A. Other ones have poor girls ala Hana Yori Dango that get with smart guys and were originally ostracized, or some sort of class difference... the other main manga there seems to be is the girl becoming and idol and meeting some guy that works in show biz *laugh* Oh well... good thing I love these kinds of stories!

Vampire Knight manga gets really blah later... I want to watch Rosario to Vampire although I hear the anime is really boobie... the manga is funny though! And the art looks okay.

Oh, is the manga fun? Maybe if it looked better I would enjoy the story and characters more. I definitely like the Karekano story setup better than the Hana Yori Dango setup, though I still don't really like the idea of an elite class in the school with the supar smrt kids with everyone else fawning over them. REALLY IRRITATING. And in Karekano, she BEAT him. (I hate how in shoujo manga the boys always always have higher class rank than the girls! ARGHH. In my experience it's generally the opposite. XD;) And of course the person who criticizes this is a bad guy who steals answers to tests and gets in fights. But this is probably why I don't read much shoujo in general. XD;; I didn't realize so many manga had the same basic setup! I don't really want to think about what that says about young girls' dreams and goals. XD; Oh well, guess that's why I end up reading more jousei ( ... )

Haha, well Rosario to Vampire is kind of a happy go lucky supernatural manga. You can read the manga and summaries here. I'll post some I recommend too :D

Rosario to Vampire: http://www.onemanga.com/Rosario-Vampire/
Special A: http://www.onemanga.com/Special_A/

I recommend:
Superior: http://www.onemanga.com/Superior/
(unfinished but cute story and preeeetty art XD)
Shin Angyo Onshi: http://www.onemanga.com/Shin_Angyo_Onshi/
(art style takes a bit to get used to and totally adventure stuff but not all gimmicky like shonen jump stuff. I like the connections based off Korean mythology/history too).

YAY thank you~~~ Superior and Shin Angyo Onshi and Gekka Kimi look especially interesting! (I guess I like shounen more too because they tend to have more adventure/fantasy stories...) Plenty to procrastinate with now lol. XD

All I have to say is have a look at Dom's comments on Rosario + Vampire.

And is there any way to turn off those link preview bubbles? They're massively annoying.

As is the fact that apparently I can't use tags.

Haha, yeah I keep hearing horrible things about the anime. The 2nd series of the manga (I don't even know if it's by the same person but it's MORE boobie and panty!) In the original manga, they don't even show her panties when she kicks and stuff. And there's only a little of the usual shonen manga boob stuff and it's mainly because the succubus wants to compete with the vampire so she sticks her boobs in the guy's face. Luckily, the main guy gets powered up and cool, and he doesn't have super lame things like tripping and grabbing a chick's boob before getting beaten up. Or accidently walking into the shower when she's in there... and other dating sim show things XD;

whaaa I just read the first chapter of S-A manga and I like it a LOT better! I wonder why?? Well, probably because Hikari seems a lot more spunky and I like how they emphasize how hard she works/that she actually goes to class. I would be pissed if the people at the top of the class blatantly messed around all the time and didn't study either. D=< Everyone looks a lot better too.

I think they just put everything together in a not-so-good way (IMO). I'm sure there's plenty of people that like the anime! I'm not really a shoujo fan to begin with so...

Oh my gosh! I just saw the screencaps and... the art is... very not as cool? They made everyone's heads really tiny and short... And he doesn't look as sparkly as usual. Oh well XD;
