Thanks again!

And, by the way--I would definitely also be interested in that list of manga you said you had that you weren't recommending as a core collection but thought that I personally might like. Annnytime. :-D

Well first, before I do that, remind me again of what manga you have read and liked? I know our tastes are a little different, so some things that are cracky and that I enjoyed may or may not work for you, though I'd totally recommend anyway and you could decide for yourself. YMMV as always. :P

Well, when I said I had only read one manga series, I meant it. (I still have glee when I think about our little Petshop of Horrors reading chain!) I've read a couple volumes of Cowboy Bebop that I didn't think much of in comparison to the anime, but that's really it ( ... )

Okay, wow, that is quite cracky. I haven't read a mystery novel since my brief Dorothy Sayers kick last year. I might have to give it a try....

Onwards to the manga pimping!
A caveat! Although I'm fond (ahahaha) of the yaoi/slash element, in my limited experience, the manga that I've read that set themselves up as yaoi manga are...really kinda bad. YMMV of course. But that basically means I'm not really gonna be reccing any, you might want to ask yaviasad for that.

Another sports manga! Eyeshield 21 is where I learned (sort of XD) about American football, and liked it. *gasp* There's Kobayakawa Sena, who's a target for bullies but runs like the wind. We've got a quarterback who totes around machine guns and blackmails everybody but loves the game like no one else, and a linebacker who's gigantic but sweeter than cotton candy. It's full of crack and TEAM and growing experiences and cliche sports adventures and last ditch plays, and I didn't expect to fall in love with it but I did. :P You can get it in US versions, but I've mostly been ( ... )
