Sharing Several Different Mangas!
I've been sharing and taking scanlations on this livejournal community, free_manga, for a while (check it out all you manga fans). Anywho, I figured since some people who stumble across my livejournal might like to reap the benefits of this system, I shall henceforth cross-post my scanlations. Enjoy!
Author: Watase Yuu
Title: Zettai Kareshi (Absolute Boyfriend)
Language: English (scanlated)
Genre: Romance, Sci-fi, Shoujo, Comedy, Drama, Fantasy, Slice of life
Contents: Volumes 1 - 6
Status: Complete (6 Volumes)
Format: Zip, for your convenience
Summary from BakaUpdates Manga:
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...
Summary from AnimeNewsNetwork:
Riiko is a girl unlucky in love. One day a strange-looking salesman gives her a business card for a website that sells "love figures" (androids designed for love-making). On the spur of the moment and without really understanding the implications, Riiko orders one for a 3-day free trial. She forgets to return him before the deadline, and must then work out some way to return the one million debt she now owes without anyone discovering about this embarrassing secret.
This manga is really sweet and cute. I consider it kind of like a Chobits for girls, but alot more interesting - Night has much more depth than Chii.
Volumes 1 - 6: http://www.4shared.com/dir/4497695/4621253a/Yuu_Watase_-_Zettai_Kareshi.html

Title: Tomie
Language: English (scanlated)
Genre: Horror, Shoujo
Contents of Download: Volumes 1 and 2
Scanlation Status: Incomplete (2 Volumes)
Status in Japan: Complete (3 Volumes)
Format: Zip, for your convenience
Summary from Baka-Updates:
Every male who encounters Tomie becomes obsessed with her and eventually kills and dismembers her. But Tomie is not human, and is always reborn...
This is all that is scanlated of Tomie. There's some debate as to whether Tomie Again is a sequel, or a continuation (until recently I considered it a sequel) but Baka-Updates says it's a continuation, so that's what I've put down. Tomie Again has not been scanlated.
Volumes 1 - 2: http://www.4shared.com/dir/4131911/bddffad8/Junji_Ito_-_Tomie.html
Author: Nobuhiro Watsuki
Title: Rurouni Kenshin
Language: English (scanlated)
Genre: Action, Adventure, Comedy, Historical, Drama, Samurai
Contents: Volumes 1 - 28 + Special
Status: Complete (28 Volumes)
Format: Zip, for your convenience
Summary from AnimeNewsNetwork:
During the violent era known as the Bakumatsu, there was an Ishin assassin known only as the Hitokiri Battousai, whose skill and brutality became near legendary in the age of Restoration he helped to build. However, as the time of fighting drew to a close, he vanished without a trace, only to resurface eleven years later as a wandering swordsman, Himura Kenshin. Now staying at a kenjutsu dojo maintained by a fiery-tempered woman named Kamiya Kaoru, and surrounded by newfound friends like the streetfighter Sagara Sanosuke, ex-samurai's son Myoujin Yahiko, and the shrewd doctor Takani Megumi, he seeks to carry out his vow to protect the weak without killing in order to atone for the lives he's taken. It's not long, though, before this vow is put to the test, and the shadows of his past return to haunt him and everyone he holds dear.
Volumes 24 - 27 are being uploaded in two parts (e.g. Volume 24 A, Volume 24 B, Volume 25 A...) so they're small enough for 4shared (you can easily put them back together once you've downloaded them).

Chapter Two tells the tale of a young boy who lives in a land of magic. But his first spellbook turns into a pixie when he opens it!
Chapter Three is about a young boy forced to abandon his cat when he moves. Upon returning years later, the boy finds himself transported to a strange land full of... cats?
Chapter Four is about a boy who, in exchange for getting off having to pay a speeding fine, agrees to take an experimental drug. The next morning he wakes up with white wings, wings that only seem to get larger every time he does something wrong!

Enjoy! And if you want anything, comment and I'll most likely be able to find it (I may upload Chobits later, depends on demand).
