Manga for my sister

Postby Knives » Wed Apr 07, 2004 12:05 pm

My sister recently got into manga. She likese mink, i was wondering if there were anymore titles like that, that were fairly clean mild lanugae mild violence no nekkend peopl or anything no s#x. My sister likes singing, animals and doesnt like anything with very much romance. (such as kare kano, marmalade boy)

but that my spirit would become so alive it took my body's place.

Fruits Basket is okay. U might want to look into that. I also recommend Super Gals! if ever that manga come out in english.

Hmm, there's an manga about jungle animals I think ... Uh, I'll find out the title for you (winces as she pictures several CAA members typing in "Jungle Animal Manga" into Google).

EDIT: :( I can't seem to find it - I'll have to look next time I go into Borders. I know I've seen one.

Hey,
If your sister likes Mink then you should refer her to Saint Tail. It's made by the same author and it's super cute!!!!! After that, there's Zodiac P.I. which is pretty clean, but it does have elements of the Zodiac in it and some violence (it's about a detective so of course there are going to be some crimes in there. Some of them get a little bloody.). Then there's Miracle Girls-- the language in those is a little heavier than the aforementioned titles, though. I think those would be good starters.
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.

Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.

But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

*smacks head* That's right! Saint Tail would be a good one. (I can't believe I of all people didn't think of that)

As soon as I read your message Knives, Saint Tail came to mind. Just as both Mangafanatic and Gypsy said. Other then that I'm not really sure, I don't ever want to suggest something I've never read before but from the little I know just maybe Tokyo Mew Mew? I'm not sure on content and all, just been told I'd probaly like it since I love animals a bit too much ^^;
"Tell me not, in mournful numbers,
Life is but an empty dream!
For the soul is dead that slumbers,
and things are not what they seem.
Life is real! Life is earnest!
And the grave is not its goal;
Dust thou art; to dust returnest,
Was not spoken of the soul."

My recommendations:

  1. Cardcaptor Sakura
  2. Megatokyo
  3. Azumanga Daioh
Cardcaptor Sakura will be good - some action, mild romance (it's about a 10-year-old), cute outfits, a cute "stuffed animal" that talks, et cetera.



Megatokyo may sound like an odd entry, especially due to its lack of animals. However, it is very clean, has loads of humor, and an interesting storyline. Two American boys fly to Japan, lose their money, and cannot get back. If interested, I suggest reading this one online to begin with - it began as a webcomic - then purchase it at Walden Books/Barnes & Noble.



Azumanga Daioh - Personally, I have not read this one. It is geared toward inviduals ages 7 and up, therefore it would be a good, clean pick. Azumanga Daioh is about a group of girls in school and their quirky adventures. The reviews on Amazon.com all say it is extremely humorous.

Saint Tail is safe. Yes, that definitely what she should go for.

I'm curious....if your sister doesn't like romance than why is she reading Cyber-Idol Mink? If I remember correctly, there's a HUGE love triangle later (common to nearly all the comics that come from Nakayoshi which would include Tokyo Mew Mew, Catcher in the Zodiac {I don't recall a love triangle in here}, Card Captor Sakura, and Sailor Moon) which is really cliche and got me bored after the 2nd chapter into it.

(I don't know the proper English titles for all these comics.......take for instance Catcher in the Zodiac.....someone mentioned Zodiac P.I. earlier and I believe that is the same comic.....)

His sister probably hasn't gotten to the love triangle yet because Tokyopop has only released one volume. The complication and romance are pretty minimal in that volume.
