Question for JConvicts

[princess_tutu]

I didn't want to use the JCon LJ for this, but I need some advice. I know very little about anime, but I know absolutely nothing about manga and I'd like to start getting into it a little bit. How should I go about getting my feet wet? What should I start with? Where should I buy it? Or is it available online? Any basic info would help a bunch.

Hey, babe. I totally have you covered on this. Borders books is normally the best place to get them. B & N is okay, but they are rarely up-to-date and don't have a very good stock. They tend to have alot of random volumes and not stock up on anything that's already been bought. At least, that's what I've encountered. I've been to ALOT of them, but that seems to be the general consensus at all of them (B&N, that is). I love Borders. you can get them online from Amazon.com.

Honestly, if you interested in a series, go for it. But if you want some lighthearted stuff, talk to me and I can probably suggest quite a few things. If you like CLAMP (cardcaptor sakura, xxxholic, chobits), I have alot of their stuff as well as some other popular manga-ka. I have a TON of manga. lol. and I have stuff from just about every genre. So if you want suggestions, just let me know. Tell me what you're into. Do you want love stories or horror stories? Action or drama? I can suggest alot of good stff and easy reads. (believe it or not, manga does have its easy reads and its harder ones). Just let me know, ok? I'll be glad to help you out! I'm a total Manga freak and own probably more than is healthy for me. lol.

Take care and I hope to hear from you soonly. ~Emma

Thanks, Emma. I figured you'd be able to help me out. : )

I doubt I'd like the lighthearted stuff. The action/drama stuff sounds good. Maybe something semi-serious, but also funny? I know a lot of anime that I watch is like that. Maybe I should just start there, since I know lots of shows are based on manga. But knowing your top picks can't hurt. Thanks again!
