Great idea, KisaTohru. I'm confused for a second though... I'm guessing you used to be named Belldandymewmew, right?! I wasn't around for like two months, so I'm still behind on many things. Just wondering, because I hadn't seen Belldan... around at all lately. Okay, *runs from mods* I'm back on topic.... favorite manga, here:

Trigun
Naruto
Fruits Basket
Phoenix

Man, I don't know if that's what I wanna list! Ah, changing...... I think that's good. Oh well. Good enough, I guess. Thanks again, KisaTohru!

I nominate Psychoteers and Steelblood! ^_^ Uh-oh... *pictures sparks flying between Ann and Ink* ^_^;

On second thought, I'll just nominate the Anime Angels Mangazine. That covers both of them.

I second Fruits Basket.
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.

Naruto
Rurouni Kenshin
Black Cat
Detective Conan

^^ Aren't there any rules as to whether the titles shouldn't have too much violence, fanservice stuff like that yadda yadda? Just wondering...

EDIT: I removed Blade of Immortal coz it really isn't family friendly. The violence is quite graphic.

Yes Mave, sorry I forgot . . .
Here are some rules . . .
The manga has to be clean, no fanservice (or very very little) and no bloodshedding at evey frame, some is ok to further a storyline, but here is a line to be drawn . . . I don't think that a manga that has any improper themes should be a CAA favorite, also I am going to limit the mangas to not fan made (sorry Ink and Ann) *runs and hides for life from them* it would just make it even more difficult to add so many more . . . we'll just stick with the main ones most people know.
If you guys have any more suggestions let me know! ^^

*Laughs* As if! You know as well as anyone, MelodyMaker, that if it came down between the two of them, they'd spend and hour insisting that the other take the #1 spot. ;)

[color=DarkGreen]Just a note...you may want to change this distinction from "fan-made" to "amateur"...^^]


BOOSTER: Hey, No.1! Where's my cake?!
SNIFIT 1: Booster, Sir! There's a 70% chance the object you're standing on is a cake.
BOOSTER: What? THIS thing's a cake?

You have the power to say anything you want, so why not say something positive?
- Frank Capra

(in response to an interview question "Do you have a pet peeve having to do with this biz?")
People who write below their abilities in order to crank out tons of books and make a buck. Especially Christian authors who do that. Outsiders judge us for it, and make fun of us for it, and it makes Jesus look bad. We of all artists on earth should be the most concerned with doing our best possible work at all times. We of all people should write with all our hearts, as if writing for the Lord and not for men.

xxx.Holic
Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles
Bleach
Full Metal Alchemist
Aria (I have to squeeze this one in only because I think it's the most beautiful new manga out there, with unique stories. Add this if you consider Bleach too violent)

The above are some of the awesomest manga artwise and storywise - which is what it's all about, right?

[size=84][color=seagreen]YOU SEE


You see into the deepest part of me ---

beyond the fog I hide behind.

You cast your light upon the shadows

that stretch like cobwebs in my mind.

You ease the pain when I am hurting,

and morbid visions from my past

pierce into the realm of Reason

as though I danced on blades of glass.

You grant me strength when I have fallen

and, once again, I've lost my way.

You take my hand in Yours and lead me

into the promise of a brand new day.

You bring order to all my chaos,

yet set my well-laid plans awry.

You place me on a firm foundation ---

then give me wings so I can fly.

You sand away my roughened edges

and polish all the dullest parts

until I stand before Your presence...

a newly-sculpted work of art.

You see into the heart within me,

right through my motives and selfish will.

And yet, in spite of all You see

You say You love me even still.
