Beck (manga)
Bleach (manga) Picked up kinda close to where I left off in the anime (some overlap). I got caught up, and then I stopped reading. I'll probably read it when I want to read something but I don't have anything else. I want to know what happens, but I'm not on the edge of my seat or anything.
Maid-sama! (manga)
Nodame Cantabile (manga) Absolutely brilliant. First manga I ever read. Started reading when I got impatient for an anime sequel, and I'm so glad I did.
Skip Beat! (manga) It took some time to get into, but now I love it. I'm looking forward to the anime...as long as they don't screw it up. I love Kouko and her demons. ^^
Toradora! (manga)
Vampire Knight (manga) Pretty good, though not the kind of thing I usually read. I'm not into bishies. :-P I hope I don't hate the ending.
You're My Pet (manga) (Kimi wa Petto) I think the English title is weird. But, surprisingly decent. Interesting character study.

Ai no Tame ni (manga)
Cherish (manga by W Yoshizumi) Cute.
Chibi Vampire (manga by Y. Kagesaki) Karin~! Loved the anime, surprised at how different the manga is. I like the manga better though. I wasn't a fan of Winner-kun anyway! Finally finished it. Very cute, but bittersweet.
Chocolate Cake Shooting Star (manga) NOTE TO SELF: ADD TO MANGAUPDATES
Fiancée Shitai (manga) Something to pass the time. I'm not particularly proud that I read it. Haha. It's not terrible, but not particularly good. Trite is one word for it. :-)
Fruits Basket (manga) Fantastic. This is in my top 3. Or 2. I really loved it...no wonder it's so famous.
Help!! (manga)
High School Debut (manga) This is a really fun one. ^^ I generally think I'm too old to read a lot of the shoujo stuff...let's face it, high school was a while ago now. But this one seems to do this category better than almost anything else. I can't help but love the characters. Sure, some of it you see coming from a mile away, but "typical" isn't ALWAYS bad if it's done really well. I just finished it...I have mixed feelings about the very ending, but I'm really looking forward to the sequel!
Hotaru's Way (manga) I think there were good parts to this, but I already don't remember much about it. I think it's another one I read because it's short.
Kare First Love (manga)
Kimi wa Girlfriend (manga) One-shot by the same mangaka as S.A. It was cute.
Koi o Hajimeru Bokutachi ni (manga) Another short one to pass the time. It was okay. The art was kinda pretty.
Love*Com (manga) Slow start, but cute. I came to really enjoy it. Also read Lovely Complex Plus.
Mars (manga) I still don't know how I feel about this one. First impression: not my favorite art style, cliche after cliche. But somehow I think it kind of works. At least everything kind of ties in together...so it's not like the cliches happen for no reason. So maybe it's too much, but still enjoyable. I picked it up because I wanted to read something that was completed and it had good reviews.
MeruPuri - The Marchen Prince (manga)
S.A (manga) S.A manga >>> S.A anime. That's all for now. :-)
Songs to Make You Smile (manga) Okay. I read it because it's short and it's the same mangaka as FB.
Sora Sora (manga) Okay, not great. Was looking for something short.
Times Two (manga)
Tokyo Crazy Paradise (manga)
Wanted (manga) This was just OK. I was trying to read one-shots for a while after plowing through Fruits Basket. It passed the time well enough I guess...wasn't anything that exciting. Same mangaka as VK.


Also, nowhere to put this...I read Spicy Pink (recently completed)...good, but kinda anti-climactic.
And Seishun no Tamago
And Shuukatsu!! - Kimi ni Naitei
Itazura Ouji
Purikyu

Will not finish Comment
Death Note (manga) Just read a little bit in the middle to explain some of the anime...then again at the end to see what the anime left out. I'm sure the manga makes way more sense than the anime (at least the later episodes), but I just don't have the energy to do it over again.
Sakuran (manga) It sounds like an interesting story, but I don't want to see the racy stuff. It's not surprising that it's there given the setting, but it wasn't flagged where I started reading it online.... :-/
Shinju no Kusari (manga) Ehhh...not my thing.
Tensai Family Company (manga) This is mostly in this category because I don't think I'll be able to find any more of it. Started reading this because it's by the same mangaka as Nodame. It hasn't really captured me yet, but I have enough faith in the mangaka to keep reading if the opportunity arises.
