Peach Girl, Vol. 1, 2, and 3 - I was talked into reading it from a friend.
Tramps Like Us - again, a friend talked me into reading it because the female protagonist is a career woman in her upper 20s. It's a very interesting and unique story. This is not for kids, however.
Tsubasa: reservoir Chronicles - waiting for the next volume to come out
xxx.holic - finished Vol. 2 and waiting for the next one
Bleach, Vol. 2 - studying shonen manga
Hot Gimmick, Vol. 5
Wild Act, Vol. 8
Aria, Vol. 2 - just finished and still no action. I just like to look at the art.
Immortal Rain, Vol. 2 - I can't wait for the next one! This is fantastic!
I almost forgot to mention my favorites: Imadoki, Vol.1 and Girl Got Game, Vol. 5

I have to read a lot of manga, and since I read fast.... I know I'm reading others, just can't think of them at the moment.

[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.

Blade of the Immortal, when I can find it in libraries. I have really only one complaint, the only example of which I have is in volume 12. It simply isn't physically possible to take that much damage. A certain character (to remain nameless to avoid spoilers) has to take four hits, get stabbed or slashed four times and then get his hand cut off so he falls off a waterfall.

It's annoying me in several aspects, but I like a few of the characters, so I will finish the series.

Inuyasha (Ani-manga): the library just keeps getting it, and I'm not familiar with the complete story, so...

Claymore: whenever I can find it. I'm enjoying this so far.

NEver heard of it. What's it about?
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.

In the Shinigami (Gods of Death) world, everyone has a Death Note. When you write someone's name in the book, that person dies of a heart attack, unless you write a specific cause of death. But one day, one of the Shinigami, Ryuuku, loses his Death Note, and a boy, Raito, picks it up. He soon figures out what it does, and he starts using it to kill every criminal in the world. Of course, the international community notices this, and they want to stop him, because he's still taking human lives. They call upon "L", a mysterious investigator, famous for his skills.

I was really likin' Imadoki--- and then I had to leave the book store. Bleh.


Well, other that that-- Right now I'm reading Full Moon Wo Sagashite and Dear Mine ('cept I can't find anything past chapter 6!) Oh yeah, and I read the first two volumes of Girl Got Game on Saturday.

Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle #1

Good stuff, even though I'm not a fan of CLAMP. If they would just put one of the fights somewhere other than off camera, I'd be happy with it.

Life is not about us using God for our purposes, but about Him using us for His purposes.

Faith is not creating a false reality, but acknowledging God's promises for us.

The dreams I dream for you
Are deeper than the ones your clinging to
Let the old dreams die
Like stars that fade from view
And take the cup I offer
And drink deeply of the dreams I dream for you
-Avalon


[color=Navy]Bill: Ted, you and I have witnessed many things, but nothing as bodacious as what just happened.
Besides, we told ourselves to listen to this guy...
Ted: But what if we were lying?
Bill: Why would we lie to ourselves?
