Title : 素晴らしい世界 (japanese)
Subarashii Sekai (romanize)

It a single story per chapter but most all chapter are related in a way. The story it bout a modern world and the life of people living in it. But thing can be so hard that im out of word how to describe it other than reading it by urself. Consist slight mind blasting. It really interesting manga, that i urge u guy to read it. neway for mature (young adult) reader only (its seinen manga neway).

get it from here: http://kotonoha.monkey-pirate.com/

This manga is bout a life of a people after the event of atomic bomb years after. a people who live thier life but slowly being weaken from the effect of the atomic radiation exposure that slowly kill them. A truely masterpiece. which IIRC, this manga has won an award.

Title : あさっての方向。 (Japanese)
Asatte no Houkou (romanize)
A Direction of the Day After Tomorrow (English)

Well, some of you guy watch it before, but the anime is really mild compare to manga. There's lot of thing goin on. and the story is really way different from the anime, and its darker and more mysterious compare to the anime. Its bout 2 girl, who wish upon wishing stone, n Shoko (an adult) revert into her childhood body while Karada become adult. And they are on the journey searchin bout the wishing stone (the only way to revert them back).

Title: 放浪息子 (japanese)
Hourou Musuko (romanize)
The Transient Son (English)

Well, the stories tell bout 5th grader (6th grader) boy name Shuichi Notori, who has the heart of a girl. He has feminine hobby, n most of his friend are all female. His 1st friend when he 1st transfer to new school is tomboyish Yoshino Takatsuki. Both has a secret that no 1 really know, Shuichi Notori always wanted to dress up like a girl, in other word crossdress, while Yoshino Takatsuki does otherwise. Both got hit by some while they were cross-dressing, Shuichi Notori case, his sister's classmate, who she has a feelin of (perhaps) which later on, while Yoshino Takatsuki case, a mature woman (or i should say Okama) which later reveal she is actually he n has a boyfriend (yea they are homosexual). Both of them (the okama n boyfriend) befriend with both Shuichi and Yoshino. Nice story, and i think they are meant for young adult, especially female reader. fun to read with, well atleast i enjoy it. and there arent any excessive yaoi-ness or shounen-ai stuff so, guys, u wont feel awkward readin it.

Actually I followed this manga from the day it was scanlated and made its first debut in  lyn. Ironically it's already licensed  and there is no way i'm going to pay for the hardcopy translation. Oh bless the internets.
*
i might get the hardcopy (just found bout it, since i havent been reading/updatin them), but i wont be scanning and distribute them.

neway, i got another gender bending, its bout intersexual, when a guy who was diagnosis he is a female after years he lives as guy, and he lead to relive his new life as a girl though most cases, the victim/patient will live as they are, due to their parent longed for daughter instead of son. and came back to the same school after with name change, n now he/she was target by his famous friend who he/she used to hangout with. and wat's worse, they knew who he/she is, n like him/her for being him/her (initially boy-love but now, girl-love). will posted bout the title n pic when i get home, need to dug up for it.

Title: I S (not the I's, it stand for Inter Sexuality)

QUOTE
From JanimeS:
I.S. (Pronounced Aiesu in Japanese) is not your everyday manga. This manga strictly deals with cases of intersexuality. I.S. stands for Inter Sexuality.

This manga deals with very serious issues with intersexuality people. The pain they go through, the troubles they confront, and ultimately their inability to reproduce and even find a partner who will accept them as they are - It's all there in a form of manga.

The series is consisted with cases, each deals with different people though some cases are much longer and more dramatic than others.


Intersexuality mean ur neither male nor female since u have biological characteristic of both male n female sexes. Wiki it for more info

read it from here

Title : 青い花 (japanese)
Aoi Hana (romanize)
Sweet Blue Flowers (english)

Well, u can say the image above will attract reader into diggin this manga, but i would say u wont see it nemore later. basically its shoujo-ai, u will only see girl n girl love. Fumi is a tall girl, she look mature but she was (and still) a cry baby, while Akira is someone who stood on Fumi when she is in trouble. Fumi moved and return after years, and they bump into each other. they quickly become fren and thing like wat they used to be. though they are studyin in different school, it seem that Fumi swing toward to the other side. She used to habour feelin for Akira (she is her 1st love though Akira wasnt aware of this). and not long after, Fumi started to date with her senpai. did i mention Fumi studyin in all girl school?

Title : Blood Alone.

QUOTE
Enter Misaki, perhaps the most innocent and most sincere young lady there ever was. It's almost inconceivable that she could be a vampire. And with her powers as a vampire, she could easily entice any human to do her biding... but she chooses not to. Especially when it comes to Kuroe, a young author who has a deep running past with vampires. This wonderful story of pure innocent love charmingly bonds Misaki to the readers. She'll absolutely delight you with her earnest love for a human and her resolve to protect a willing mutual relationship versus turning Kuroe.


Buy it thru here

now. i really need to find this to put it in my bookshelf.

Title: Swweeet (as in S, double W, triple E, T)

QUOTE
The twin brothers Susumu and Tsutomu have been friends with the girl Sakura since they were kids. But when Tsutomu mysteriously disappears at the age of ten, Susumu and Sakura begin to drift apart. What Sakura doesn't know: Tsutomu has returned, not as a person, but as the mirror image of Susumu. That is, whenever Susumu looks in a mirror, he sees his brother who talks to him. Thus begins a bizarre love triangle between Sakura, who torments the poor Susumu as much as she is being tormented by her peers, Susumu, who keeps thinking he has to save Sakura because he likes her, and Tsutomu, who despite being stuck in a mirror pulls everyone's strings.


a nice twisted romance (?) manga.

Title : 未来日記 (japanese)
Future Diary (englsih)
Mirai Nikki (romanize

QUOTE
High school 2nd year, Amano Yukiteru, is a boy who has problem making friends. He thinks of himself as a bystander and will always write down everything he sees in a cell phone diary.

Tormented by solitude, Yukiteru began to imagine things like a friend called Deus X Makina who is apparently the Lord of Time & Space. Seeing Yukiteru's miserable state, Deus gives him a new ability. His diary will now record events that will happen in the near future. Yukiteru is then forced to participate in a game which the winner will become Deus's successor.


well, wat can i say, the main character (Yukiteru) is like loser Simon (of Gurren-Lagann) while the heroine (the one with da axe above), Yuno is Yuki's classmate, a role model student but also one of a freaky girl who stalk our hero, mad bout him, n she is kinda mad Rena (of Higurashi), she kill, break into Yuki's house to do housework, n has dead people in her 'closet'.
