Well lately I have been getting into girl anime, and I don't exactly know what I should read next. I just finished Fruits basket and Love hina, but I'm out of manga to read now. I've been searching around but nothings really caught my interest. Any suggestions?

Technically Love Hina is a shonen title. Judging by the titles you have read you like you're looking for comdey/drama, in which I would probably suggest series such as Ouran High School Host Club or Nana for that matter. You would get either or out of titles like these, unless you'd like to look at shojo from a whole different perspective and look into Angel Sanctuary, which is "girly" but also violent.

Thanks, I'll go ahead and write these down so I can look them up Anime smile. Also, if anyone else has any other suggestions go ahead since im kind of running low on anime/manga right now.

If you like comedy you might like Here Is Greenwood. IMO this is one of the most hilarious series ever! It isn't too long either, only 9 volumes. manga#3453

This is actually a series I've been wanting to read for a while. But the encyclopedia says 11 volumes, you said 9. So, um, which is it?

Also, I'd second the vote for Nana, which is quickly becoming one of my favorites of all time. Although since it seems you like Harem, I would also suggest Ouran. You may also want to try some classics like Fushigi Yugi, which is still one of my shojo favorites, and full of drama, romance, and humor.

Well, they probably repaginated it (not uncommon). The Japanese aizoban has only four volumes, and bunkoban has six.

i second the nomination of "Here Is Greenwood," it really is an excellent series.

You mention a couple manga titles, but what "girl anime" have you been watching?

I suggest Crossroad by Shioko Mizuki. It is dramatic and interesting as well as hilarious.

I also suggest Palette of 12 Secret colors by Nari Kusakawa. It just came out in english, and it is very interesting and funny without too much romance.
