A post for personalized manga recommendations.
I've been thinking of doing this for a while. Comment with what you're looking for, be it a genre or description or the names of a few More Like This Please series, plus whether you prefer licensed volumes or scanlations, and any other parameters (long/short, completed/ongoing, et cet.). I'll suggest two titles to try, based on my sense of your tastes. If you've already read those two, I'll attempt one more title before giving up in despair.*
Because if I'm going to spend five years reading gods know how much of the stuff, the least I can do is make myself useful.
Blind spot: I haven't read very many yaoi series and so am completely unqualified to recommend them (indeed, I'm looking for recs for series that discard the seme/uke dynamic). Weak spot: I have idiosyncratic tastes when it comes to shounen,** especially shounen adventure, which means that while it steers me to non-obvious titles, I often overlook the obvious ones. I'm also weak with manwha and manhua, partly from availability and partly taste. Strengths: shoujo romances and adventures, and yuri fluff.
* Symbolized by cherry petals swirling about me as I weep manly tears.
** I find most shounen rom-com not very com. Nor all that rom, for that matter.

Date: 4 March 2011 07:30 pm (UTC)For yuri fluff, long and complete is also difficult. Transistor Venus (Lililicious) is the longest I've got, and while it's not complete, it's got little enough story arc that it doesn't really matter there's no ending yet (ETA: meaning, in English). Except of course for the wanting more now please, but that will be true after the end.
