Love Hina. It was the first series I actually got into alot. I am a huge fan of Ken Akamatsu's art and quirky sense of humor which I try and project into my art and humor.

Kare Kano. I like the blend of humor, angst, romance, and the problems of everyday life. I love how each character visibly changes from being a bug to a full-bloom flower.

Neon Genesis Evangelion: The artwork in this series is just phenominal. As well, this and Naruto were the first manga I bought. As well, being a fan of the Eva philosophy, I love the dialouge and the ideals shown into this series.

After having compared notes with a few other older Manga readers, I have come to the conclusion that Yotsuba& gets a lot funnier as you get older. It doesn't seem to matter whether you are a parent or not, but it does seem to appeal to adults more than teenagers.

May He lift up His countenance and grant you peace.

EricTheFred: Vikings are always a valid answer.

I wonder why that is. I mean don't get me wrong. I absolutely love Yotsuba. She is totally a naive and cute little rascal. I guess that is what makes it funny XD

I read some of Yotsuba in the store. I can say why people like it, but the bit I read didn't seem that funny to me. I guess it has to do with tastes.

Love Hina is one I'll remember as a classic. It was one I couldn't wait for the next volume to come out. I'll admit it ended weakly but I liked it all the same. Others I would put in my top 3 were Excel Saga and Azumanga Daioh.

One Piece for sure! I love the attitude of Luffy, how when he recruits people to his crew it's not like they get to choose, it's Luffy's choice. And he can be so dumb. It's really funny! :D
