Haven't really had time to look for new manga, but I'm still picking up Venus Versus Virus as it comes out. Novels have taken more of my time lately, as I've been reading Murakami on the few occasions I do have time to read.

The last three months I've been enjoying:

Mirai Nikki
The World God Only Knows
Blood Alone --- (new chapters translated)
Umi no Misaki
Toaru Kagaku no Railgun --- (much better than the current anime filler)
Otaku no Musume-san
XBlade
Freezing
Hana to Akuma
Luck Stealer
Cage of Eden
Kami Sen
Shitsurakuen (not great, but it's still somewhat amusing as a warped, evil, seinen version of Utena)

During that period, I've started (in order of preference):

Kieli --- (very good)
Kagerou Meikyuu --- (pretty good)
Gakuen Sousei Nekoten!
Shinigamisama ni Saigo no Onegai o
Shinigami Alice --- (the longer series not the One Shot)
Shinonome Amagami
Ore no Imouto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai
Kamisama Dolls
Fortune Arterial
Tokyo Bardo

I don't really have time to sit down and read anything, even less to watch anime this past year. :(

What I have been keeping up for years and still enjoying are

Vampire Knight
Amatsuki

and one "newer" one that a friend here got me into

Drifters

If I had time and wasn't so far behind I would catch up again with

Bleach
Naruto

There are several others I eventually want to read or some catch up with again. Just wish I had the time. :(

After much badgering from a certain few members,
I have read all 157 chapters of Skip Beat.

OMG - Love it, Love it, Love it!!

I am also caught up with Vampire Knight, Naruto & Bleach.

I am thinking about finding something new, however,
not sure anything will get me as excited as Skip Beat
did. :love2

I have been enjoying the storyline from these 2 companion series.

To Aru Majutsu no Index and To Aru Kagako no Railgun

Ah cool...you're reading Railgun JWR. I wish the animated the later parts of the manga. Maybe someday they will.

Besides the obvious manga I've mentioned earlier, I've been primarily enjoying these lately:

Aphorism
Blood Alone (nice)
Butterfly
Cage of Eden
Fate/stay night (can't wait for the Rin/Archer Movie)
Fortune Arterial (can't wait for the TV series)
Guardian Dog
High school of the Dead (anime should be campy fun)
Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer (Hoshi no Samidare)(getting to the endgame)
Kandachime
Luck Stealer (getting interesting)
Ore no Imouto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai (the anime should be "otaku" interesting)
The World God Only Knows (look forward to the anime)
Sankarea (Alright! A zombie harem 8O lol)
Sakura no Ichiban (getting real good)
Tasogare Otome x Amnesia

And these to a lesser degree...

Helen ESP, Amagami Precious Diary (hope the TV series is good), Nana Mix, Vampir and Itsuka Tenma no Kuro Usagi

Since last time, I started on:

1. Yamamoto Zenjirou to Moushimasu
http://myanimelist.net/manga/5775/Yamam ... Moushimasu

Sure are a lot of "ghost/supernatural seeing" manga out there. Not that I mind of course...I do like Kieli, Tasogare Otome x Amnesia, Butterfly, Monochrome Myst, etc.

2. Kanon: Another Story - WONDERTHREE
http://myanimelist.net/manga/7177/Kanon ... ONDERTHREE

Not terribly exciting, but I wanted to see an alternate version of events. It's lacking energy though.

3. Code Geass: Renya of the Blackness
http://myanimelist.net/manga/17311/Code ... _Blackness

Off we go on another Code Geass adventure!
