What manga are you currently reading, and what are your thoughts about it?

I most recently started reading Bloody Monday. The story was actually kind of different from what I expected, and I say that in a positive sense, as I am liking it so far. It's good to see there are imperfections in the main characters, and I am loving the author's sense of humour.

I'm currently reading Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou. I'm enjoying it but I am having a hard time really getting into it seeing as how it is very different from what I've read in the past. Odd thing is, though while I find it a very slow read while I'm actually reading it, with every chapter I finish, I take a second to just sit back and reflect upon it. It's like there is little progression but I don't mind it one bit. First of this kind of manga I've read but it won't be the last.

I'm currently reading Shin Angyo Onshi, everyone rated it a masterpiece so i started to read it too out of curiosity, but i didn't catch the flavor of this one yet. Well anyways, if it's That good, i'll be hooked sooner or later.

The other one i'm reading(in school, yep manga for home and manga for when yer' bored with all that crap in school) is Blade of the Immortal. It was a slow start for me, but now I love it! It's action packed, still has something to say and has that old type of comic-humor, like when the main character is dying from a deadly wound, the next day he stands infront of the enemy fully healed, and the enemy says:
"-You were dying yesterday, how'd ya heal so fast?!"
"-Granny's chickensoup?Dunno."

I'm about to start Angel Densetsu. I just finished Haru yo, koi (in 2 days, I think it's a new speed-reading record of mine), and I recently started Kimi no Iru Machi (really good).

I'm currently reading Fullmetal Alchemist, xXxHOLiC, Bakuman Loveless and Naruto as are published... The first three are my highest priority, I love them, and it seems that two of them (the first two) are close to the ending. The only problem is that those two are published once a month so I'm in constant suffering T__T Idk, I must be masochist or something...
Two excelent mangas that you will NEVER regret to read!
Loveless and Naruto are great too. Although, Naruto' story is going to far and sometimes gets a little boring, and Loveless publishes like once every 3 months (I'm not sure). But, putting that aside, the stories are interesting.
In lower priority, I'm following Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge, Ouran Host Club and Persona 3 and 4. Since the first two are comedy/piece of life mangas, one can read them slowly as entertainment. The last two, does not have consistent publish dates and, since are manga adaptation of the games, I already know the stories, so read them when I remember xD
And I just start with Super-Conductivity Brains, Claymore and Versailles no Bara. Neither in high priority, since I already saw the animes -except for Super-Conductivity Brains which hasn't one- and I have less time than ever because of my finals TTwTT But I already read each's first chapter and they are very, very interesting!! Even more than the animes (if applicable) and I can't wait for my finals to end so I can jump on this jewels ^^

I'm currently reading Sanctuary and nearly done with it. I've been thoroughly enjoying it. And I don't really have an opinion one way or another about politics, but the way they go about it in the manga, makes me interested in it.

I don't think there's any wrong turns in this manga and the art is fabulous. Those are pluses for me.

Um, well....I'm reading quite a but but my latest is Soul Eater!!!! No where done with it, but I'm watching the anime as well and am loving both of them.

The art is much different than other mangas I've ever read, but it is a good read. All the characters are lovable in their own way, but I do think that the story started pretty fast.

But I really need to stop reading new mangas and finish Hana-Kimi and Darker than Black

I started this new one that I spotted while looking at the releases on MU.
It's called Kogan no Mouten. It's a mystery manga, but a little different.

From the beginning, you already know who the killer is. An inspector points out who it is and throughout the chapter, the killer is plotting. The inspector also points out (for this particular crime), the killer made 6 mistakes and asks, "Can you find out what those mistakes are?"

Already from that, it's interesting. The art's pretty good. I don't much about the characters since it didn't focus on them much. But I'm excited for more.

I'm mostly reading Monster now (inbetween reading for exams and writing reports) and even though I still haven't read half of it, one thing caught my eye from the start. Aside from the story being twisted and all, though 98% of the characters are German (or not Asian at least) and are drawn like non-Asians and so on, some of them are given an extremely Japanese way of speaking :D. I find it funny how Japanese mangaka make Germans use Japanese expressions :P Anyways, the story is just getting interested and is quite promising, but I'll see when I read the whole thing ^^.

I just finished reading Astral Project. Took me a while to get the last volume, and I must say... I didn't see that ending coming. I really liked the art style and some of the things the author(s) had to say, but it somehow felt a bit lacking in the end. I am still very glad I got to read it.

And I started reading HEN a couple of days ago. It seemed surprisingly interesting, I'm looking forward to finishing it.

I just read the first 15 chapters of Hohzuki Island. I love the mystery and suspense. It is a great read. Right now I am catching up on Billy Bat. I have mixed feelings about this one. Some of the story arcs work really well while other parts feel a little out of place. It seems to jump around a lot.

Currently I'm reading...
Fruits Basket. It's love. I have already read 20 volumes and I'm waiting for the story to continue in finnish. I love the characters and the way how the story can be both sad and funny.
Junjo Romantica. I haven't read many shounen ai/yaoi mangas, but this is the best of them I have even read. You can't help liking the characters. I own 5 first volumes, but I have read 13 first volumes online and can't wait to read more!
Kare First Love. It's just a story about 16-years-old girl and her boyfriend/first love. It's nice to follow their relationship and see how they are going to get over their problems that any couple can have.
Gravitation. It makes me laugh every time.
Black Knight. First I thought that I can't like it. I read first chapter and didn't know what to think about it. I read the first volume and found myself wanting more. It sure could be better and I didn't like the art very much, but it's nice to read this manga. The clothes characters are wearing are nice.

Today, I finished Bradherley's Coach. It was on my plan to read list for so long and I finally got to read it. Even though I had a vague idea about what it would be, but still, this was unexpected :) And if there were only those first two chapters, I would say that it was only about violence and nothing worth reading. But to my surprise it was more about people than about what was happening. Halfway through I started to like it. But it may be quite disturbing for some people.
