I have almost all the Shojo Beat's that were released in the US and since its easter break I've been going through them and rereading some series that I've missed or skipped (I'm up to the March 2006 issue now). When I first got it the series' that appealed the most to me were Nana, Absolute Boyfriend and Baby and Me. I later started reading GodChild and for the first time I'm reading Kaze Hikaru and working on Crimson Hero. I'm enjoying Kaze Hikaru for its historical telling and I learned that Okita-san may have actually had a lover similar to Kamiya. I'm hoping to read some more samples in the magazines to find some more series/see if I'm interested since I missed a couple the first go around.

I joined paperbackswap.com a month ago and I've been trading in books I didn't enjoy, already read or even had duplicates of so I've been expanding my manga collection thanks to them =) Here's my current shojobeat manga;

Absolute Boyfriend Vol. 1 &2 (I want to finish this one, its a cute series)
B.O.D.Y Vol. 1 (Not a bad series, its the typical high school romance but it has its perks)
FullMoon Vol. 1 & 2 (I REALLY want to finish Fullmmoon)
Fushigi Yugi: Genbu Gaiden Vol. 1 (I've read up to volume 8, but it was all borrowed, I've also started reading the original series)
GodChild Vol. 1-3-I'm debating continuing it at the moment
Nana Vol. 1 &2-I love the series and the characters, I've read the chapters irregularly so I need to read it from start to finish again.
Skip Beat Vol. 1-5-I love Skip Beat and its a series most people can indentify with in a 'he did me wrong, now I'm going to beat him and show him how great I am'
Socrates in Love-It was a sweet series ^_^
Tail of the MoonVol. 1-4-I really like this series
Ultra Maniac Vol. 1, 2, 4-I picked it up seeing as the mangaka was the same person who did Marmalade Boy. I love her art style and the story is sweet and refreshing *finished* but I need Vol. 3 and 5

There's a few others I'm going to pick up...once I get money or they appear on paperbackswap.com
