You REALLY should give this another shot. It's a little slow to start (which is why the original English version actually skipped much of the first GN!), but once it gets going, it's the most addictive romance manga you'll find. Maison Ikkoku is literally my favorite comic book ever published, period, but it takes more than just the first volume to really get cookin'. Give it another chance! |

Okay, this would be an extremely long list if I listed all of them, so I'll just mention a few that will probably spark some reactions.
Fruits Basket I've read several chapters in Daisuki, but it couldn't capture my interest. Maybe because I was reading it at a 1-2 chapters a month pace, maybe because the characters and artwork bored me. A year or so later I bought the first volume in English, but I couldn't get through more than a few chapters and gave book to a friend. A few months later, I rebought it, because it was only €2 and everybody seems to like it, so it must have its merits, right? I couldn't find them, sold it and made a €2 profit. Now I'm thinking about buying the Dutch version when it's released. Everyone likes this series, I must be overlooking something, right...? Ranma 1/2 Stopped at 18, it's way too long and I doubt it has a proper ending. Inu Yasha Stopped at 18, it's way too long and I doubt it will have a proper ending. |

Naruto, Shaman King, Yu-Yu Hakusho, Case Closed, Hikaru No Go.
They take forever and never get anywhere. I've learned that Shonen Jump basically sucks. |

^Case Closed is Shonen Sunday actually. I tend to prefer Shonen Sunday titles to Shonen Jump titles, because even if they're long, they tend to entertain me more.

Stopped reading Orphen after one volume.
I expected it to at least resemble the anime I loved so much, but it was totally different. I think I must have got an alternate re-telling or sequal or something, but thats all I could find. |

Stopped reading Kekkaishi after two volumes. I couldn't get into the story and the characters didn't interest me. I normally love demon hunting and it was recommended by a friend who usually makes good suggestions, but this one not so much. I eventually tried watching the anime to give it another chance and I don't think I even finished the first episode.
Tried Loveless and couldn't follow the story line at all, so that got dropped fairly early. Wish I had dropped Inuyasha a long time ago, but I just can't let go. I keep feeling like it can't go on much longer and then we have another arc. Grrrr! |

Lets see here:
Pastel:I can see boobs for free online GTO:I actually have no idea why. I've just never bought the second volume. Those who Hunt Elves:ADV has no intention of releasing the rest of it, so I only have 2 volumes Your and My Secret:See above. I actually have 2 and 3 in Japanese. Oh My Goddess: See GTO Crayon Shin-Chan: A little repetative, also Comics One went under, so it's done I believe. I have 2 Volumes Naruto: What I like to call DBZ syndrome, plus the fans turned me off. Inu-Yasha: Strange, cause I like Takahasi's work, but action isn't really my thing. That's all I can think of for now. My manga policy is nothing ventured, nothing gained, so that's why I've abandoned so much. |

The Devil Within is pretty confusing, but it is only two volumes, and it is much better in volume 2. I'm a guy and liked it, so I'm not sure that it is just 'cheap perverted thrills for girls'... -__-; the gentlemens' alliance- I think you should give it a chance. It gets less sporatic in later chapters. |

Ultra Cute= Ultra horrible. At first i was drawn to it because the artwork made me think of Sailor Moon. which i love. But omg. i just couldn't care about any of the characters..i think i bought 5 volumes and then dumped them on one of my friends by saying "oh you'll really like this, you can borrow it!!" Luckily she has a habit of not returning stuff. either way i won't take it back.
From Far Away: I was so unhappy with my 5 volume purchase that i almost cried at the thought that i had just wasted 50$...i had taken the stickers off and i was worried that that meant i couldn't take them back. I was so freakin happy when i called up and they're like "30 day return policy!" I actually only read 4 of the 5 volumes...i just thought i was stupid. I loved the cover artwork and i wanted ,wanted to like it...but again, i couldn't care about any of the characters. OH and Ranma1/2 but not because it was really bad...i might even slowly start to collect it but it just repeated and repeated this "oh someone is inlove with Ranma now...lets um do some crazy martial arts thingy." i mean tea ceremony karate? what the hell? Funny...but nothing that made me say..."i must have more!!" and i haven't given up on Inuyasha yet...i have 18 volumes...and i must find out how it ends...i'm just waiting for a rainy day when there's absolutely nothing else i want to buy....or asking for them as presents so i don't have to even spend my money on them. |

Vampire Knight. I'm finally done with this series. Hino's art has started to bug me, I don't like any of the characters, and the story lost me after volume one. I loved volume one, and then volume two came along and I started to really dislike it. I've been reading it in Shojo Beat, but I don't think I'll even bother to continue doing that.

Chibi Vampire: It was funny for the first three volumes, with enough drama to keep a gripping tale, but volume 4 failed to interest me. The Harumi arc was really the most entertaining dramatic part of the series, and the humor was drying up.
Naruto: I just never liked Naruto. The reason I actually got the first volume was because it came free with another manga volume. The censorship was lessenend, but still Naruto. Inuyasha: I got the first four volumes from the library at the same time, and returned them the next day. The first volume was strong, but it seems that after the first volume, Takahashi realized the fanbase. |

Reading this felt exactly the same as watching a guy's silly harem show.
