These are the series I have finished.

Read all Rating Comment
090 - Eko to Issho (manga) Good This was an interesting manga that I have been reading for a fairly long time. Overall, it was pretty good, but I do not think the end was very conclusive. It feels like another chapter or two could be released and it would fit perfectly.
A.I. Love You (manga) Excellent Overall, this series was pretty good. It may not have been as good as Love Hina and Negima are but it was still a fun read. This series just reconfirms Ken Akamatsu as one of my favorite manga artists/authors.
Ai Kora (manga) Excellent And thats it. Finally another series that I have been reading for a while comes to an end. It was a pretty good series and I really enjoyed it. While for some portion of the series it did not seem like any progress was happening, the series is now at its end. The ending could have been better but it was very far from being the worst series ending I have gone through.
Ai Yori Aoshi (manga) Masterpiece Well, after reading this I must say that it was a very heart-warming and touching story. It never gave me the bad feeling I sometimes get when reading other series and kept me entertained throughout the whole story. The ending was also a very fitting one, though I do kind of wish the series would have gone on longer. Overall, I would rank this up with Love Hina as one of my favorite romantic comedies.
Ai-Ren (manga) Good This was a pretty sad and touching series. Was overall a good read and was not too long like some other series. This series also came to a conclusive and good ending, which is something that I have been seeing to little of recently.
Aiki (manga) Good At some point, I kinda lost track of what the overall point of this series was, and the ending was pretty terrible.
Akuma Jiten (manga) Excellent This series was extremely enjoyable and I really liked the relationship between the two main characters. It had some of the greatest facial expressions that I have ever seen in a series and brought me tons of laughs and enjoyment.
Ani.com (manga) So-so Overall, I do not really remember this series. The parts that I do remember, however, were decent.
Ayu Mayu (manga) Good This series ended pretty strangely. The last few chapters were a bit chaotic as the series rushed towards its conclusion. Overall, however, it was pretty darn good.
Bakuman. (manga) Very good This series was enjoyable for one that is centered around drawing manga. The only thing that I really think needed to have been changed was the ending. Overall, it was rather anticlimactic.
Bamboo Blade (manga) Good This was a fairly entertaining manga with interesting characters. I enjoyed it even if the ending felt a bit inconclusive/rushed.
Beelzebub (manga) Very good
Bitter Virgin (manga) Good This is a pretty big contrast to this author's other work (Girls Saurus). It has a much more serious tone and theme, though it is still fairly good. Decided to read it when I saw how popular it had become on One Manga.
Change 123 (manga) Excellent This series was pretty good. Overall it was a sweet series that I enjoyed. It may be true that there was never a huge or major conflict or much of a conclusion, but the series was still pretty entertaining.
Chibi Vampire (manga by Y. Kagesaki) Masterpiece Wow, it was a long run (time-wise), but Karin finally comes to a close. This series is near the top as one of my favorite series of all time, but I must say, the ending was really was an interesting mixture of happy and sad emotions. I do not know what to really feel after reading it. I do not, however, feel as bad as I often do after finishing a series, because, overall, I think that Karin had a much better end than many others. And after the last chapter, the short series of omakes actually helped to make the end a bit better.
Reread chapter 10
Chobits (manga) Excellent Ah Chobits - It was a pretty good read. It brings back memories of middle school though because it was one of the first mangas that I ever read. Back then I never finished it though so I came back to it recently and read the whole thing.
Chocotto Sister (manga) Good This was actually a pretty good series. It was light-hearted and made me feel happy through most of the series.
Crest of the Stars (manga) Good I must say that this is one of the few times that I can definitively say that the manga version is worse than the anime. I think that the manga leaves out many small parts of the story that still had significance. It also feels much more abrupt, I think mostly because the story is shorter in manga form than in anime form. Finally, I must say that the drawing style of this series is nowhere near as good as the anime's style. The style then precedes to get worse during the third volume. Overall, I found this adaptation kind of insulting to the series that I still consider my all-time favorite anime.

This manga, however, is still not all that bad of a read. I would strongly suggest watching the anime over reading the manga but the story and universe in the manga are still very interesting.
DearS (manga) Excellent This was overall a pretty good series. It kind of reminded me of Chobits actually. The only thing that I did not like in this series was this one guy that was pretty obnoxious. I was also kind of annoyed at the main character's stubbornness for a while. The ending, however, was pretty good. It was a both funny and happy end.
Death Note (manga) Very good Ok now, the ending just really pissed me off.....
Domina no Do! (manga) Good This was a fairly funny series, but the conclusion was not really all that well done. Not really one that I would recommend to most as the humor was really more towards the crude side of things.
Dragon Ball (manga) Very good Looking back at this series, it is actually a really cool series. It does not deserve a lot of the negative publicity that some people give it. You can also talk to almost anyone that watched television when they were young about it and they will know about it.
Dusk maiden of Amnesia (manga) Very good
Elfen Lied (manga) Excellent The series was overall really good. It had an interesting concept and a very cool central idea. The end however was pretty sad in my opinion. I was sad for a while after the ending in fact because it was such a great series that I was reading for a while only to end in a way that I found pretty sad.
Fruits Basket (manga) Not really good I have to say, about half way through the series lost the thing about it that made me enjoy it. It lost the funny and happy attitude that made it fun to read. If I had know that the series would turn into something like this, I do not know if I would have began reading it....
Fullmetal Alchemist (manga) Masterpiece Well, overall FMA was one of my favorite series of all time and it is finally over. It had an amazing story and a great drawing style that kept me engaged and entertained throughout the series. I would recommend this series to anyone who starts reading manga but I do not feel as empty with this end as I often do after finishing a great series.
Future Diary (manga) Excellent I really enjoyed the series. Yuno was a bit creepy at times, but I really liked her and found the story very interesting.
Ga-Rei (manga) Very good This series was pretty good. Like many of the series that I read this was one where my main focus was the characters rather than the plot itself. Overall the story was pretty generic but still kept me interested as it ran its course.
Gacha Gacha (manga) Very good Pretty good series. It was very entertaining and had a good ending. Overall I liked the second part of this series (The Next Generation) better but the ending of that series was just kind of annoying.
Gacha Gacha: The Next Revolution (manga) Excellent This was a really good series but the ending was rushed and was very bad. It left many questions unanswered and lots of loose ends. Apart from this ending I would have rated this series at least excellent.
GE - Good Ending (manga) Good
Girls Saurus (manga) Good Pretty funny so it was worth reading, though I only started it because I was desperate for something to read.
Girls Saurus DX (manga) Good Overall, this was a rather humorous series. It gave me a few great laughs but I would not say it is for everyone.
GS Mikami Gokuraku Daisakusen!! (manga) Good Overall I would say that the end of this series did not really feel like an end. It was pretty inconclusive. I feel like the series may have ended because it got canceled rather than because the author was concluding it. Overall, however, the series was decent, though I probably would not really recommend it to my friends.
.hack//Legend of the Twilight (manga) Good Well, this is a pretty cool series. It was actually the very first manga I ever read. One of two that I read before high school. It was a pretty good series if I remember correctly (I think I am mostly remembering the anime counterpart as I saw that more recently) but I do not really remember it all that well. Oh well... I have always been a fan of the concept and ideas behind the .Hack franchise, even if some of the content was sometimes boring. (.Hack//Roots - Made me want to die of boredom)
He is my Master (manga) Decent Overall this series was fairly strange and did not really have altogether too much of a conclusion. This is probably due to the fact that I do not think the current conclusion (chapter 20) was intended to be the last chapter. As such I will probably leave this series in this location for now.
Hikaru no Go (manga) Good Overall this was a fairly good series with an inconclusive end. It feels like the ending was really rushed on due to a series cancel so it really felt kinda anticlimactic. I was kind of expecting the series to head more towards the main character becoming more powerful or a return of Sai.
Hot Milk (manga) Decent Strange series, but once again it was an ending where everything resumes as it had been.
I Am Here! (manga) Good This was overall a pretty good series. Not my normal type of series but I still enjoyed it.
I focus on your color (manga) Decent Overall, I would not say that this was that great of a series, but it was passable. A bit more fan service than anything else though...
Inu Neko Jump! (manga) Good Decent series, though the ending did not really feel like one. Also, chapter 29 had the funniest scene that I have seen in a while.
Inumimi (manga) Good This was a pretty good series. I do not really like the way it ended though. There was not really any resolution. Its kind of like how Gacha Gacha: TNR ended, just with life continuing as it had been.
Itsudatte My Santa (manga) Decent Overall, this was a decent read. I am not really a fan of one shots, because they are always to short to really develop but it was still decent.
K-ON! (manga) Excellent Was a pretty funny series for the most part. Had lots of really funny moments and was a pretty light read that makes me want to check out the anime. The story has also restarted so I am glad that I will get to continue reading it.
Kamichu! (manga) Good Very short series but it was a decent read.
Kanokon (manga) Decent
Karakuri Odette (manga) Decent It was interesting buy never really got anywhere.
Kashimashi ~Girl Meets Girl~ (manga) Very good Overall, I would say that this was a touching romance, though I must say I was almost hoping for the "harem end" (main character ends up with both girls) near the end of the story because I liked both of 'his' love interests a lot.
Kenko Zenrakei Suieibu Umisho (manga) Good This was a fairly entertaining series to pass the time with, though I would not really put it at the top of the list for series that I enjoyed.
Koibana Onsen (manga) So-so Overall, mostly porn. Never really looked forward all that much to a new chapter, but at some point I just decided I might as well follow it through until the end.
Kure-nai (manga by Y. Yamamoto) Good
Kurohime (manga) Very good Overall this was a very good series. This series had a great mixture of laughs, sadness, and happiness. Overall I enjoyed reading it but I do not know if I would suggest it to everyone.
(The) Law of Ueki (manga) Excellent Overall, this was an excellent series. It had a lot of humor and ended very well. While the part that got me into the series was the collection of funny powers, the series itself actually ended up being a great choice. Now I just need to read Law of Ueki Plus.
(The) Law of Ueki Plus (manga) Very good Overall, this was also a good series, though not quite as good as the original.
Lilim Kiss (manga) Decent Over all the series, especially the ending was kind of not really that great. It was good for passing the time but I only read it because it was not bad.
Love Hina (manga) Masterpiece Looking back, I decided that this series should probably be a masterpiece as I consider it much better than the other series that I rated Excellent. After re-reading this story, I think that it is probably one of my favorite of all time. The story is one that catches my interest even reading the second time through. It also was one that made me feel good and laugh throughout the series. The characters, drawing, story, and everything about this series simply make it one of my favorites.

After this series and once I started reading Negima, I decided that Ken Akamatsu is probably my favorite manga writer/artist.
Love Lucky (manga) Good Overall this was a good series. I really enjoyed the story (though the whole H aspect was more awkward than anything). The ending also turned out pretty well and I am overall satisfied.
Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer (manga) Masterpiece Overall this was an amazing series. It was extremely funny and had a great story. I enjoyed all of the characters and really liked the way the series played out.
LuCu LuCu (manga) Good This series was sweet and lighthearted for the most part. It is a major change from most of the other series that I have read. Overall, the ending does leave a large blank but I think it was a pretty good series as a whole.
Maburaho (manga) So-so Well, I am guessing that there is something else that one would have to read (or watch) to really get this series because on it's own it did not really feel like a complete series.
Magico (manga) Very good This was actually a really good series. In my opinion, the only place where it really fell short was the ending. I believe that the series should have gone on longer.
Mahoraba (manga) Very good Overall this was a great series (if a bit slow). I really enjoyed all of the characters and the story even though it seemed like this series took much longer to read than many others with similar numbers of chapters (maybe since I am working now).
Majin Tantei Nōgami Neuro (manga) Very good Well, this was another good series that I will be sad to see go. It was a fairly interesting series that actually had a pretty good ending.
Marugoto Anjugakuen (manga) Good Overall this series was fairly enjoyable. It was a lighthearted series that gave me a few laughs.
Medaka Box (manga) Good
Metroid (manga) Good Gave great insights to the beginnings of Samus. I enjoyed it even though some chapters were not all that interesting.
Midori's Days (manga) Excellent Was a pretty nice little series. It was much more light-hearted than many of the others I have read and was pretty enjoyable. My only problem with this series is that the ending was pretty abrupt. The series only seemed to be approaching the close in the last 2-3 chapters. Other than this, however, the series was pretty good.
Mistress Fortune (manga) Decent Far too short to really become that interesting (3 Chapters). I would not recommend because of this but judging from just the story and style it is not too bad.
Monster Soul (manga) Good Was a really short series. Not quite as good as Fairy Tail is but I was hoping this one would go on longer.
My Lovely Ghost Kana (manga) Good Overall this was a great series that I am glad I read. I really enjoyed it and would recommend it to most people.
Negima! Magister Negi Magi (manga) Masterpiece Overall, this has been one of my favorite series of all time. I really liked the characters, the story, and pretty much everything about it. When reading through the series, I also found that I had an extremely difficult time deciding when to take break. Overall, the only part that I was at all disappointed by was the ending of the series (which I did not feel was quite as conclusive as it should have been). Otherwise, however, I would recommend it to pretty much anyone.
No Bra (manga) Decent This series was overall not really that bad. I still do, however, feel very awkward about actually reading it. Overall, I am pretty happy with how the story ended and I am especially glad that the ending was actually conclusive.
Nononono (manga) Very good Overall, this was a great series, with a bad end. I am actually really sad that this one got axed as it was one of the ones that I was really enjoying.
Nozoki Ana (manga) Very good
Omamori Himari (manga) Excellent Re-read chapter 6
Onidere (manga) Good Overall this was a fairly enjoyable series. Not among the best of the ones that I have read but it did give me a good laugh every now and then.
Orenji Yane no Chiisana Ie (manga) Decent Not really my favorite story of all time and overall not really my type of series, but I still managed to find some enjoyment out of it.
Oretama (manga) Very good So yes, this series is one that would be extremely.....awkward to read around anyone else. However, the story overall was pretty good and it made me laugh a lot. The ending also turned out the be pretty sweet for something that was borderline pron.
Otaku no Musume-san (manga) Good This series had one of the more interesting of the concepts of those that I have read. While there were not that many portions of the plot which kept me desperately awaiting the next chapter, I still enjoyed it.
Outlanders (manga) Very good Overall this series was pretty interesting. I first started reading it due to a suggestion by someone online. A few things I noticed are that the drawings were very rough and that there was overall a lot of death. The story, however, was still good and I am happy that it at least had an ending.
Parallel (manga) Good This series was pretty good though it was a little bit short and could have been taken further.
Parasyte (manga) Very good Overall this was a very interesting series. The story was pretty entertaining and it seemed to tell a pretty insightful message about the world.
Princess Resurrection (manga) Good
Psychic Academy (manga) Good Not quite sure about the ending...
Overall I was left with a kind of empty feeling after it was all said and done.
Psyren (manga) Excellent Overall, this was a very good series. I really enjoyed while it lasted and it was one of my favorite of the action/battle series type that was running for the past few years. The ending was a bit unexpected for me, though now that I look back, its not that there was anything missing. Overall, I really enjoyed this and am happy to have read it.
Rosario + Vampire (manga) Excellent This series was pretty good, though it did not really start to get really good until later on in the series.
Rurouni Kenshin (manga) Masterpiece This one does not really need explaining. It is a great series and everyone I know agrees. Go read it or watch it because both are great, I just have a preference for the manga (also the anime does not include an arc that the manga contains).
Saber Marionette J (manga) Good Overall, this was a decently strange series.
Saikano (manga) Excellent Overall, this was a very sweet and touching story. I really enjoyed reading it.
Saki Achiga-hen episode of side-A (manga) Very good
Sakura's Finest (manga) Good Was a fairly good story, though it lost my interest later on in the plot. Once again I am finding that I really enjoy work by Yuna Kagesaki.
Samurai Champloo (manga) Decent Well, that was not really an ending. Instead of tying up the story I am guessing that the manga was canceled. Oh well, pretty bad conclusion but for an unfinished story it was good.
Samurai Harem: Asu no Yoichi (manga) Very good Overall, this was a fairly good series. It gave me lots of laughs and had a decently interesting plot, though it did get slightly predictable near the end.
Seijō Kōchakan no Jijō (manga) Not really good Overall this was a fairly crappy series. I did not really enjoy it.
Shitsurakuen (manga) Good Overall interesting concept. Was enjoyable to begin with tho kinda lost track of it later on.
Sora no Otoshimono (manga) Very good
Strange Mansion (manga) Decent This had a pretty strange plot and a pretty abrupt end. Overall this is not one of my preferred works by this mangaka.
Sumire Sixteen!! (manga) Good Overall, this was a pretty good series. It was funny and overall enjoyable and I really liked the end (tie in to sumire 17 and what not).
Sundome (manga) Very good Overall, this was a pretty interesting series. It has some strong sexual content, a bit of which is kinda f'ed up, so I would not recommend it to everyone. I don't really know what else to say about the series. I actually really ended up liking the characters and the ending was pretty sad. There were also a large number of times throughout the series that made me laugh.
Tatakae! Ryōzanpaku Shijō Saikyō no Deshi (manga) Decent Overall, I do not really like this story as much as the retelling in History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi.
To Love Ru (manga) Good Well, its over. It has been a fairly long run but now it finally comes to an end. It was a good and funny series for the most part but the ending was once again one of my most hated ones. There is no real conclusion and the reader is told that things will just continue as they have been going.
Toradora! (light novel) Masterpiece Everything about this series puts it among the best that I have ever read. I really enjoyed the characters, plot, and overall style of the novels. While I realize that this is not a series for everyone, it is one that I would recommend to most.
A Town Where You Live (manga) Good
Tsukihime (manga) Very good Overall, this was a nice series. I enjoyed it.
Welcome to the N.H.K. (manga) Excellent Wow. This was an amazing series. I would not say that it was a masterpiece, but it was still an incredible read. I do not really know what else to say about it. Overall, the whole story was extremely weird, dark, and kind of messed up. But, in the end, I still really liked the series.
Whispered Words (manga) Excellent
Yakuza Girl (manga) So-so Overall, I felt that there really was not that much of a plot here and it was not all that good.
Yomeiro Choice (manga) Good To be fair, this series was just about 100% fan service. As such, it should not really be expected to have a plot which comes to a fulfilling conclusion. As it stands, however, it did serve its purpose and I had a few laughs due to this series.
Yosuga no Sora: in solitude, where we are least alone (manga) So-so At the very least an awkward series.
YuYu Hakusho (manga) Good Well, I finally got around to reading the whole series, and I do not really know what to say. The series was not quite as good as I was expecting it to be, especially near the end. Overall the plot line felt very rushed and it seemed like a lot was left out. Even so, I am glad that I finally finished the series.
Zatch Bell (manga) Masterpiece Overall, this was a great and funny series. I would say that it has been one of the more enjoyable reads that I have had. It was pretty similar to Law of Ueki now that I think back on it but the humor and style were a bit different. I really am glad that I finally decided to read this series. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a funny and enjoyable series.
Zettai Joō Sei (manga) Good Overall this was an entertaining (though short) read that made me smile.
