Hey guys, it's been a while since I posted anything on here (yeah, I've become quite the lazy bones... ) Anyway, I wanted to tell people about several manga I have read every chapter of recently that many might find enjoyable.

Mahou Sensei Negima!: This is quite a funny manga out there. It's about a 10-year-old named Negi Springfield who is a mage. Once he graduates from mage school in England, he is sent to teach English at an all-girls High school in Japan. This manga is incredibly funny and is also very ecchi. It's a really good read and I suggest everyone read it, if they haven't already.

Mirai Nikki: Mirai Nikki is a story centered around Amano Yukiteru, a teenager who is a loner at school and spends his time writing what happens in his diary. Calling it the "No Difference Diary," he writes about an event, the time of it, and where it took place. He calls himself a bystander so he acts like one and his diary is an example of that. At home, he spends time talking to his imaginary friend, Deus X Machina, the Lord of Time and Space. One day, Deus bestows Yuki with a future diary (in Japanese, Mirai Nikki) that shows what his future self would write into it. This is the start of a survival event between 12 diary holders, Yuki included, to see who will succeed Deus as the Lord of Time and Space. This manga is a really good one, especially if you like violence. I recommend everyone at least try it, because it is quite a good story.

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni: Ok, well this wasn't a manga I read but an anime I watched based off of a Visual novel and a manga. Higurashi, as it is commonly abbreviated, is a story of a boy named Keiichi who moves to the village of Hinamizawa that has a dark past. Each case of this show is a different story and usually contains a gruesome massacre. This is a very dark, very gruesome psychological thriller that is really good to watch. It contains some very bloody scenes, such as how the first episode begins with a shadow bashing a baseball bat on the bodies of two girls and blood spraying in the darkness. It's very gruesome and very entertaining. People who like Mirai Nikki will like this, and vice-versa. The anime for this is finished so interested people can watch all of it.

Bloody Monday: This is the story of a hacker, nicknamed Falcon, who is working with the forces of Japan and his friends to stop a terrorist group from launching a deadly biological attack on Japan under the codename of "Bloody Monday." This is a Death Note style thriller in that each side tries to beat the other one. It's also a really good read that is bloody at times.

I hope that readers who read this will try out some of these series themselves. They are all good reads/watches and I just want to spread the word. Thanks.
