xxnthorxx 23:00 "Nijuusanji" by Matsumoto Tomo
"In this world, is there really such a thing as an awesome guy?"
Midori just started high school and isn't interested in guys. She thinks they're all like her brother, Takeshi, who is rude and spoiled. Her way of thinking changes when a classmate of hers is pulled into the street dancing team led by Takeshi and his best friend, Sutou.
At first glance Higa may seem like a plain and quiet guy--but when the music starts flowing and his body starts moving - he transforms into a completely different person... Even Midori can't keep her eyes off him. Uploaded by
lacinom_hiryuu This is a manga that I can't wait for an update. There was a period of time when I went to youtube just to watch street dance battles. Why is this? Because of this manga ^_^ Even if it should be really hard to translate dancing into manga, Matsumoto-san does a really good job. Read it!

lacinom_hiryuu Heh, I've only read the first chapter so far, but I definitely want to read the rest of it ^_^ Thankfully, it's complete, so there's no wondering, "what happens next?!" ^_^ Mwuaha. Love for the completed manga ♥
Mahou no Te Ni Notte by Ueno Ai
The one thing in the world that Satsuki would like to do is become a hairstylist that could bring out the natural beauty of a person the way Hayama Ryuichi did. Determined, Satsuki decides to ask Ryuichi if she could work at his shop in order to learn the trade. Working besides her idol, she learns a bit more than hair-matters. Uploaded by
lacinom_hiryuu Maison de Beauties by Mizushiro Setona
A low-price, high-quality apartment in the metropolitan area of Tokyo is nothing short of a miracle! It exists, but there's a catch -- tenants must be good-looking and pass an interview by the landlord!? This is a love comedy about what happens when the beautiful people are all gathered under one roof! Uploaded by
lacinom_hiryuu Stigma by Minekura Kazuya
In a post-apocalyptic world of gray sky void of life, a man with a suitcase full of money but no memory of his past has a fateful encounter with a physically-scarred boy searching for birds and blue sky. Together, they journey away from a man-made purgatory toward hope and freedom. What happens when the past catches up to them? Uploaded by
capricioussylph Wild Adapter by Minekura Kazuya
Kubota Makoto led a somewhat easy going life, until a local yakuza boss approached him for initiation, and he happened upon a 'stray' in an alley, Tokitoh Minoru to be exact, whose life seems to be forever connected with a drug, W.A., passing frequently through the Yokohama area, and leaving bodies in it's wake. As they further investigate the drug, more information than perhaps wanted is brought to light... Uploaded by
capricioussylph Araiso Private High School Student Council Executive Committee by Minekura Kazuya
Best friends Kubota Makoto and Tokito Minoru, both members of the Student Council Executive Committee of Araiso Private High, solve mysteries and enforce school rules on campus by beating up their classmate offenders. Uploaded by
capricioussylph Beauty Pop by Arai Kiyoko
This is a funny story of 3 boys, a hairstylist, a nail artist and someone responsible for the overall balance. They are the make-over team in school and they select a girl who they will transform into a beauty. Naturally they are popular, but does it really give them the right to pass judgment around as they do? Well there seems to be an anonymous hairstylist with rivaling talent around who doesn't share their opinions and offers help to whoever needs it...
I really, really like this manga because the main character is absolutely amazing. She's not overly emotional; she frankly doesn't care! It's such a breath of fresh air and she's a great role model ^_^
Sasameke by Gotsubo Ryuji
Rakuichi was a better soccer player than anyone when he was in elementary school. But after 3 unsuccessful years in Italy, he returns home in defeat. Upon arrival he's confronted by a host of different characters. His cousin Biwako who is now a teacher despite her uncontrollable personality. His childhood friend Inae who is cute and nice but who turns into a crazed stalker when it comes to cool, attractive guys. Touzan who is cool, mysterious and seems to be good at everything. And Maiko, who is incredibly beautiful but turns violent on the slightest whim. Great artwork, hilarious comedy and a unique style are the hallmarks of this manga.
I don't know what made me download this manga to begin with, but I was so glad that I did. There was a time when all I wanted to read was sports related manga (after devouring Prince of Tennis lol) and I didn't want to read any of Adachi's stuff and I had already read what there was of Whistle!, so... there was this! It's really cool @_@ I wish scanlation was faster lol Sorry for the rambling, but I just can't put into words the reason why you should read it... you just should ^_^;
Shion no Ou by Katori Masaru
Yasuoka Shion lost her parents, and her voice, when she was young in a murder. She was found amidst a blood-soaked room, and the only hint for the suspect was a Shougi board and one piece: the King.
Now, Shion steps into the world of female professional Shougi players. As her popularity and fame slowly rises, so do the questions about her past, particularly the murder case that was never solved.
This was after my Hikaru no Go phase ^_^ (actually, I'm still in it *cough*). The thought that she was playing a game like go made me want to read it. There are similarities between the manga and that's basically a young child being some kind of prodigy in a game none of us can... however, that's where it ends! Despite the game playing, this manga is deeper.
Doubt!! by Izumi Kaneyoshi
Ai Maekawa, a shy, pimply, slighty overweight junior-high nobody, never gets noticed by anyone and she's sick of it. She undergoes a complete makeover before entering her new high school as a brand new pretty and popular girl, where she hopes no one will find out about her past.
I absolutely loved this manga, from start to finish (it's complete!). It seems sort of average, but there's just parts in it that make you squee and parts that make you sympathize with the main characters... just, all around, it's a must read for all girls ^_^ Guys can read it, too, but I'm not sure if you'd like it, honestly -_-;
