Welcome to the Manga Review. I review manga/comics that are very good choices to read. I have not read many manga(s) that are all that great. But I know of a few that could be chosen to be on my list.
And also! If anyone has ANY Information on some of these comics, mainly because I did not get to read all of the it, please mail me! I'd like to know what happened in some of the stories.

Description:
A teenager named Junta Momonari, a highschool student, somehow gains a special type of DNA that allows him to change into a "Mega-Playboy." A girl from the future named, Karin Aoi, warns Junta of his changing DNA. In the future, it is said that the original playboy created spawns by having sex with 100 women, creating 100 more spawns (female and male) of himself. All of them retain the power of changing their DNA into the "Mega-Playboy," doing the same thing he did. "Like father, like son." This causes a major over population in the future, which is why Karin is sent on this special mission to go back in time to stop the start of the DNA.
Review:
Very well done manga. I like it a lot, because it has many different categories of a comic, that makes the story very entertaining. Humorous, Serious, and an Interesting story line. This is a great one to read.

Description:
A teenager named Ishitaka Seto, a highschool student attending Wonder Highschool, has a friend named, Iori Yoshizuki, who has just become a class-idol. She has become a top model in a modeling magazine, and yet she is also a top student in her Drama Club. With all her popularity, she faces many social pressures with her classmates and friends because of her new-found popularity and fame. Other Highschool students pick on her by saying things like "Hey, show us your panties!" or "Woo! Woo! It's a Nude Show!" She is very hurt by these comments. Even Ichitaka wasn't too happy that she became a model, until one day when Iori gives Ichitaka her Sketch book and writes, "I's (Aizu). Ichitaka dosen't understand what it means when he first looks at it, but then he realizes that it stands for both of their Initials: "Iori & Ichitaka." This is the story of their relationship, and their love for each other. Even though they don't say so, it still gives that story an interesting aspect to it.
Review:
Another well done manga. This manga is not as interesting as DNA is, but it still keeps you intact and tuned when you read it. It is humorous, dramatic, and romantic. You can find this manga presently at your local store. IF you can't get the manga, try reading the "Weekly Jump Comic," and it will be included. I've only read the first in the weekly-jump, but if someone could tell me what happened, please tell me.

Description:
During the Meiji Period, a Time of Reform in Japan, a samurai named "Ruroni," was the fiercest fighter out on the battle field. Known for killing many people, he was called "Battosai." Now after a new reform of government, he vows not to kill anyone anymore, because of his title as a mass killer during the war. Now jointed with a pair of new friends that he meets along the way, he fights (not kills) warriors who battle against him, and fights against all that oppose him.
Review:
Much better than the Anime Remake. More action and adventure, but lots of other things that follow up that make the story a little complicated. After reading the most recent Weekly Jump, Ruroni has about 10 - 15 more people joined with him in his battle. I totally lost track of what's going on, and I want to know how all those people got there!

Review
A very funny and amusing comic to read. I liked this one because it wasn't a comic to be all serious with, it was based more on comedy and it's loads of fun. I liked it a lot.
