   elsie wa rec.arts.manga ni hanashite imashita:   
   >From Far Away - shoujo adventure   
      
   I really REALLY like this one. Consider that I buy almost every shoujo   
   manga that comes out when you read that statement. ^_^ It's one of my   
   ABSOLUTE favorites!   
      
      
   >Hana-Kimi - shoujo school story   
      
   Good, but I don't like the main character as much as Kyo from Girl Got   
   Game, and Girl Got Game is VERY similar, and shorter. The art is better   
   in GGG too (IMO). That said, I still like Hana-kimi a lot and buy it as   
   soon as it comes out.   
      
      
   >W Juliet - also a shoujo school story   
      
   I always dread starting a volume of this when it comes out but I always   
   absolutely LOVE it when I do read it. I don't know what's wrong with me   
   in regards to this title, but anyway, it is really good.   
      
      
   >Ouran High School Host Club   
      
   Ouran bored me during the middle of vol2 of the manga, so I stopped   
   buying it. I find the anime to be much better.   
      
      
   >Hunter x Hunter - dammit, when will someone license the anime?   
   >Genshiken   
   >Samurai Deeper Kyo   
      
   Not read/seen any of these, so no comment.   
      
      
   To this list I will add:   
      
   - Nodame Cantible   
   - The Wallflower (known as "Yamato Nadeshiko" in Japan, I believe)   
      
   Both are absolutely hilarious and have rather unique plot twists/points   
   for their genre (both shoujo). The Nodame "kotatsu" chapter is one of   
   my all-time favorites, and the Wallflower main character, Sunako, is my   
   absolute FAVORITE main character of any series.   
      
   Apparently my news server has dropped the rest of this thread prior to   
   elsie's post and one of catherine's, so I am extrapolating what the OP   
   wanted from what elsie had in her post that I am replying to (if anyone   
   understands what I mean...).
