What Manga are you reading?
Hey, Ducky, be wary that there is some nudity in volume--um, three? I think that's right. Well, there's nudity in atleast one volume. Furthermore, there's some sorta *bleh* voilence in it. That may not really matter to you, but I totally didn't see it coming when I read the first volume.
But regardless of content-- they are gorgeous aren't they?

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.

Well I was reluctant to join in the Fruits Basket craze, (I don't know why; I just like going against the grain - I'm so weird sometimes) but I finally bought the first two volumes, and fell in love with it. I immediately rushed out and bought the 3rd one and can't wait to buy the 4th. So that's basically the main series I'm reading right now.
I'm also awaiting volume 6 of Rurouni Kenshin, and might buy vol. 2 of Comic Party but it's kind of at the bottom of my list; the first one was only OK. And I've been desperatly searching for volume 1 of .hack//Legend of the Twighlight, but all the stores seem to have is vol. 2. I even visited a store that had more anime and manga merchandise than you can shake a stick at, and one girl got the last copy right before I did. >.<

Go fruits basket! It conquers all in its path. Bwa ha ha ha!!! I'm glad you liked it. I read volume one of Kenshin. I really didn't like it-- but my sister wanted to read it. So I had to check it out. Love can make us do some pretty boring things. (Please, someone tell me it gets better after volume one!!! I'm gonna have to read this before her?)

yuppers... pretty bishies... thanks for the heads up about vol. 3 since my bookstore only had vol. 1 I guess it'll be a while till I get there though, violence isn't a biggy for me considering I can barely follow it in manga anyhow 
anyway I think the next one I'm reading is dragon hunter it said 13+ so I figure it's pretty safe I've only looked at the first few panels though.

I like it; though I personally don't think it's quite as funny as the anime, and the humor is part of what makes Kenshin so endearing. I didn't like volume one as much as the others because Sano isn't in it (until the end), and Sano's one of the best characters and evokes a lot of the humor in the series. But you seem to be more into shoujo, from what I can tell, so maybe Kenshin just isn't your thing? The best person to ask would be Mave as I believe she's read the whole series.

kyo . . ... dunno...
Umm I am reading Alice 19th, It is actually pretty good though it errs on the side of shoujo. A LOT of betrayal, almost romance, and idiot guys. . . . yeah but other than that, it's main message is the power of Words.

I don't know how far you are into Alice the 19th, but I thought I'd just give you a bit of a heads up. Towards the end of Unrequited Love, there's several pages of rather detailed nude Mayura and Alice. That's when I stopped reading it, so there could be more to it than that. Just a friendly warning.

There is? All I read were volumes 1 and 2, and then I've read regular translations without scans online for volume 3. What volume does it happen in? I don't remember any detailed nudity in it, but it's been a while since I read them. Can you fill me in?

If I'm not mistaken, it happens in Unrequited Love which is volume three.
What happened? Well, Alice is taking a shower and the possessed Mayura slips in with her and attacks her. Then Kyo and (I think) Frey come to her rescue. This whole ordeal takes somewhere near ten pages, and both Alice and Mayura are both completely naked.
That was the end of the road for me, and me still sad over it.

Why are there so many series that are just ruined by trash like this - I mean, there is no need to have the scene in the shower, as far as I'm concerned. Anyway...
Just got Shonen Jump Sept. and will start on it asap, and I'm going to try and get back to Borders soon so I can read a bit more, and look for new manga.

So true. The same dialogue could have been plugged in if Alice had gone to the back yard to chill out instead of the shower. AHHH!!!

That is sad. No wonder I couldn't remember it-it was the one I read translations for. Yet another manga that I've had to stop reading b/c of some of the material in it
I really don't like it when it happens, yet it's happened to me at least 15 times (unliscensed or not manga). It's happened with all of the unliscensed shounen that I've tried to read--Open Sesame (I miss the story a lot but not the langauage in this one), Kagetora (a long drawn out bath scene that the guy just happens upon
), Tales of Destiny, all the ones that I'm forgetting at the moment, and all the ones I was interested of at first but then found out that it had not good stuff in it.
It also happens with some of my shoujo too. I wish that some of the stuff that could be cut-like bad language-would be cut out from the beginning by the scanlators and instead they would insert something else in it's place. Anyway, that's my two cents.

I wish someone would sell edited manga. You know, like that Clean Flicks thing(that video store that cut sex and nudity out of their movies.) Wouldn't that rock.

That wouldn't work.
Del Rey was originally going to censor the nudity in Negima in order to knock the rating down a notch. It caused quite an uproar and Del Rey quickly changed their minds when people started canceling their preorders left and right. The majority of anime fans are pretty intolerant when it comes to editing, given all of the hacked up anime/manga we have gotton in the past.
Companies aren't going to do it, if they lose money off of it...

I picked up Trigun Maximum, RK 1, and .Hack/legend of the twilight 1. I missed the pinup in the front of .Hack, but I just tore it out and moved on.
Any kind of editing of any kind of artwork generates uproar, usually with the fans and the artist. I think if there were seperate versions available, like the way you get edited albums at Walmart and unedited at other outlets, that there would not be as much complaining.

You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness. Rom. 6:18
God can do anything, anytime, anyway He wants to.......if He wants to paint me blue and hang me upside down nekkid from an apple tree, thats alright, as long as it's God doing it. Of course, if He comes through with a directive like that, I might have to ask for some I.D. Michael Wanke

I think that would turn into a legal nightmare. I'm not even certain exactly how Clean Flicks gets away with it. Outside of the issue mentioned by Master Dias, I think there is also a large issue in the legal realms as well (particularly when those rights would probably extend over oceans).

I'm not saying it would be practical, but it would be nice. (And Clean Flicks got torched by all the issues you mentioned. Legally, they got an "okay" for what they were going and then it got revoked. Snaps!)
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.

Hmm... I've just read the first volume of "Tsubasa" and it's a cute adventure manga. ^_^ Somehow, tho, it seems like it's gonna be a very, very difficult journey for the three main characters and a loooooong time before Sakura gets involved with the plot directly (I mean, her being "lifeless" and all ;P).
