Try looking on the copyright page. That's where FMA's original name was.

I saw a japanese magazine and started looking through it. I don't know what it's called, but it has Doraemon, Duel Masters, and Pokemon in it. I also saw a manga about Mario. It looked like a comedy, but I want to know what it's called, since I can't read Japanese.

That would be Coro Coro Comics, mainly for the grade school level kids.

Ok... I've got one! I noticed this Manga when I was searching at the book store... but I can't remember it's name, and sorry to say I don't have much to go on.

From what I understand it seems to be a Romantic/Comedy thing... something about a girl, and I think the back of one of the later Volumes said something about her turning out to be a robot of some sort. After her purpose was served seeing if she could go back to a regular life.

I think that's right... (And there's the possibility that what I gave you is wrong... not on purpose though!)
... not much to go on, but it would be appreciated if anybody knows what it is.

Sounds very much like Mahoromatic.

Hmmm... it does seem a bit like what I'm looking for. I'll have to look at it the next time I go to the book store (later today.). Thanks for the suggestion, even if it's not what I was looking for it still sounds great! Thanks. Very Happy

After going to the book store and taking a look at Mahoromatic, though it looks very interesting... I don't think it's what I'm looking for. The big difference is that the girl in Mahoromatic knows she's a robot at the beginning... I'm pretty sure what I was looking at, she finds out in one of the later Volumes. Thank you very much though for your help. Very Happy

I'm thinking of going back to the book store tomorrow since I'm off, and just spending some time looking at all their Manga until I find out what it was.

Edit: Went to the book store earlier today, but had no luck on my own. Went online to GameFAQs and asked there, and was quickly told I may be thinking of Saikano. Looked on Viz's Website, and it looked like a match... went back to the book store, and sure enough it's a match! Very Happy

Apologies if this is posted in the wrong place!



Can anyone identify where this image is from??
i.e. what comic/film and/or the artist I am looking for more pics drawn in the same clean style.

Despite a very strong Japanese look that piece seems more American to me in terms of aesthetics. Could be wrong, but in any case your better off giving some information on where you got the picture.

It was called Super Mario Kun. Currently it is not available for viewing in the encyclopedia.

Alrighty, I've searched all over the net and I cant find it, so I thought someone around here might know.

I'll let you know in advance, I honestly dont know what its about and I have no images of it or the name, but heres what I gathered from it when I read the back.

Its something like Trinity Blood, but not quite. A church like the vatican is sending out priests to various places, the reason I think was for some disease or some vampires/super humans. its only 3 volumes I think, and it has been licenesed, its also semi-old. (a few years, maybe 3 or so.) I can picture the cover of one of the volumes, it has the lead character (male), holding a girl in his arms while swinging/jumping off of something.

Thats about all I can remember. I saw this on half.com a few weeks ago, and its been driving me insane to remember! Help please!

It sounds like it could be Testarotho, but your description would be a bit off (no vampires what-so-ever) and its 4 volumes (released by CMX). If that is what you are looking for, be warned that the series got cancelled and the author was forced to more or less wrap things up in one or two chapters, so the ending barely qualifies as an ending doesn't resolve much at all.

Ah, I looked it up and what do you know, its right! thank you very much! the ending does sound like it might stink, but as long as I get to read it eventually, im glad I found it. Again, thanks alot! it was driving me crazy =D.
