As some of you may know, watching Code Geass is one of my weekly pleasures. But what do I do when I'm waiting for the new episode to come out? I catch-up on my manga reading of course! I read all kinds of manga: shounen, shoujo, fantasy, horror, and (very rarely) shounene-ai. So here are my recent manga picks!
Air Gear

Recent Manga Favorites
The first time I read this manga I thought it was really weird. I mean, the manga was about teenagers racing on these highly powered roller blades called ATs or Air Treks. I looked up this manga because it was by Oh! Great who also did Tenjou Tenge. So knowing Tenjou Tenge, I was expecting it to contain much fighting and somewhat perverted humor. Although, it didn't live up to my expectation in the beginning, Oh! Great sensei did not disappoint me. What started out to be a story of normal teenagers rolling around on ATs, turned in to a giant gang war and conspiracy with much violence and surprises. ATs turned out to be alot more complicated and dangerous as our characters discover the unlimited possibilities of ATs. Air Gear has also been made into an anime but it ended at the end of the first arc of the story.
D. Gray-man
Why I started reading this manga I do not remember. However, I can tell you that this manga is also full of surprises and will keep you entertained at all times. The plot revolves around the fight between Exorcist and Akumas and the life of our main exorcist, Allen Walker. The exorcist work for the Black Order and tries to prevent Akumas from destroying the world. The Akumas work for the Millenium Earl, representation of the Devil, and are souls that are unable to rest in peace because they have been called back by love ones. So they come back with their souls imprisoned in the skeletons the Millenium Earl and kills they one that called them back and uses their bodies as a disguise to go kill more people. Although the beginning of the story involved saving regular citizens and finding innocences, a weapon sent by god to chosen people (exorcists), the story is now approaching climax as the akumas become more intelligent and tries to destroy the Black Order from within. I don;t think my explanation of D. Gray-man is really doing it any justice, so please look it up on wikipedia. D. Gray-man is also out on anime but I stopped watching it after they started straying from the manga.
Naruto
Do I actually have to explain Naruto? No, I don't think so.
Tenjou Tenge

Tenjou Tenge
Like I have mentioned before, Tenjou Tenge is one of Oh! Great's work and it is full of nudity, violence, and humor. I would totally recommand this to any guy manga fans. However, I still think girls can read this and still find it interesting regardless of the nudity (I mean, we see our own bodies all the time right?). The story centers around this high school that is full of students who have interests in martial arts. I've never read Real Bout High School but I think it's probably similar. However, Oh! Great sensei throws in supernatural factors that makes the story a whole lot more than just fighting. There is love, tragedy, and comedy. Everything you need in a manga is here. This manga has been adopted into an anime series in addition to 2 OVAs.
Vampire Knight
This is one of the very few shoujo mangas that I read. Hino Matsuri sensei's art and story gets better and better. After reading Meri Puri, I decided to read this. This story is about a school which exists for the purpose of creating peace between humans and vampires (although the humans of the school has no idea that there are vampires in the school). The story becomes more complicated than just regular school life as our main character Kuroki Yuuki discovers more and more of her past. Vampire Knight has recently been adopted into anime.So yea, that's all the mangas I have been reading regularly as they update new chapters.
