I don’t read まんが(manga) much, but when I do I usually like the ones that I read. My first(and favorite) manga that I have read is Ouran High School Host Club, by Bisco Hatori.
The story of all of the characters is really interesting, and it is really fun. Some of it can be serious, but most of it is really goofy and funny. The main character Haruhi, is going to Ouran Academy, a prestigious こおこお-kookoo(high school), as a scholarship student. She is highly intelligent, and studies hard.
On her first day of school she wanders into an empty きょうしつ-kyooshitsu(classroom), in the music hallway. But she comes to find that the classroom is not as empty as she thought.
Inside this music room is where Ouran’s own “Host Club” where young high school age boys “entertain” bored girls. This usually means they cosplay, eat sweets, and talk and flirt with these girls. The 6 boys greet Haruhi and startled, she goes to leave the room.
While she is walking away from the Host Club, she knocks over an expensive vase that the boys were going to sell at an auction. Because Haruhi broke it, she must be the one to pay for the vase.
Because this is an elite school for the uber rich, the vase is naturally expensive. Haruhi is a scholarship student that does not have the おかね-okane(money) to pay the boys back for the vase.
Since she cannot pay them, she must work for them as a part of the host club, so she can eventually pay back her さいむ-saimu (debt).
Oh, and did I forget to mention that everyone at the school thinks she is a boy? They do. Probably because of her short hair, skinny figure, and the huge glasses that make her large wide eyes appear smaller.
This story really develops, and by the end of the 18 volume series, and Haruhi and the characters all learn important lessons and make memories and relationships that none of them will ever forget.
I don’t know if you have noticed that the pictures in my post don’t look like a manga or not, but if you have, you are a true fan of OHSHC and manga and anime.
OHSHC is not just a manga, it is also an あにめ(anime), and a movie! I haven’t seen the movie yet, but while it does have an ending different to manga, the anime is extremely good.
The theme song also gets stuck in your head.
The one above is the English version.
The one above is the Japanese version.
My favorites are Mori and Kyoya(although I love them all), Who are your favorites?

I like ones that involve romance, and fun characters. Another one of my favorites is Papillon. That one is really good too, but I don’t think the next book has been translated yet.

I love OHSHC! I just recently finished reading the manga and i’ve watched the anime more than once. I didn’t know there was a movie.
If you like romance type manga may i suggest: Fruits Basket, Say I Love You, Kamisama Kiss, Black Bird and Bride of the Water God (this one is Korean). “Romance” manga is kind of a guilty pleasure of mine lol
