Check out Ichinensei ni Nacchattara. Its funny, its got lots loli, and its funny. Taruby translates it.

Wings of Vendemiaire you might like.
Harukana Machi-E also.
Both are pretty short slow paced story (think stuff like 5cm style)
For something funnier/more action… Battle Angel Alita ? Devil & Devil ?

Reiko the Zombie Shop. I know you fear the bloods, but there’s totally no gore. I’m super serial. Tokyo Red Hood or Azakuzin is full of gore and freaky mutations, though.

I, Otaku is allright. Its no Genshiken, but its entertaining enough. Currently at 6 volumes.

Hanamaru Youchien is good for cuteness and warm, fuzzy feelings (3 volumes and counting).
Ikoku meiro no kurowaaze is gorgeous and very chastely pedophilic (1 volume and counting).
Lolicon Phoenix might make you laugh (2 volumes if I’m not late).

For some reason, I like reading things like Tonari no 801-chan, too. Might serve as reference material for Tina.

Ai Kora (Love and College) is a rather fun ongoing harem series. Same dude who did Midori Days, though, so if you don’t like the guys style you might ant to avoid it. Mysterious Girlfriend X is bizarre but oddly cute if you can get over the ick factor. Chocolat (the seinen one, not the crap shoujo gay one) is rather surprisingly hilarious and the art is rather awesome.

I can only ever think of stuff I’ve read recently whenever I go to reccommend things to people =/

Up to date with US releases of Yotsubato, yeah.

>>as
Not sure if Satsuma Gishiden would be my thing, but Eden sounds interesting enough. It certainly is quite long, though.

>>Anonymous
I’ve heard of Tokyo Red Hood and am not entirely sure it’s for me! The rest sound fine, though.

>Can anyone recommend me any manga series that aren’t adaptations/have been adapted into an anime that I may like? I kind of wanna be an elitist manga reader, hur. Extra points if it’s not shoujo and not over 10 volumes.

I assume you’ve already read Yotsuba&.

Also, Nanami and Misuzu, Super-Conductive Brains, Icaro, Tokyo Red Hood

The last three things I read were Eden, Satsuma Gishiden, and Yotsuba in japanese. They’re pretty good I guess

I’ve been reading Shinigami no Ballad this week. Generic as hell. As the only one of Seven Seas first wave of light novels I was interested in, it’s kind of disappointing.
