Bleach, by Tite Kubo    

Ichigo is stuck with the gift to see ghosts. Joined by Ruika, Chad, Orihime, and Ishida, he is on a quest to save the ghosts and set them on their path. Good for people who like action and romance.

Ceres: Celestial Legend by Yu Wastase    

It gets a little depressing sometimes, but it can also be really funny. It's really good! But girls would like it more I think.

Fruits Basket, by Takaya Natsuki    

This is my favorite Manga series! It's no wonder it's the most popular Shojo Manga!!

I think you will like “Fruits Basket,” so I think you should buy it.
recommended by Karen, Central

I like this series because the characters have "hidden depths" They don't always acto how you'd expect them to.

Sailor Moon, by Naoko Takeuchi    

It was kind of um. What's the word I'm looking for? Um, boring.

Good storyline, but some crude humor and language. Good characters and drawings.
