Guest Shino Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 Ummm....Yeah as the title says im looking for a good manga that I could buy my sister to get her started in the genre. I have been a big manga/anime fan for a long time but she thinks its stupid....lol so im looking to change her mind. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess_Keiko Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 Well...If your sister is young I probably say CardCaptors, my sister reads that manga.But it really depends on her age, because some manga's just don't seem to interest younger people.Anyways, CardCaptors are more of a girl anime.

Guest Shino Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 Yeah thats what I was thinking because she is like 12 years old. THe only thing was that their are a lot of same sex relationships in that Manga so i wasnt sure. Anybody else know some good ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epsilon Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 [COLOR=SlateGray][SIZE=1]For a 12-13 year olds, here's what I'd personally recommend. But it also whould depend on her perosnality...If you know what types of books she already reads, or the classification you think she might like it might help. [list] [*]Card Capotors [*]Gals! [*]Suivon [*]Ultra Manic [*]Random Walk [*]Minita Bokura [*]Time Stranger Kyoko [*]Rizelmine [*]Spiral [*]Tactics [*]Lagoon Engine [/list][/SIZE][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezekiel Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 [COLOR=DarkSlateGray][SIZE=1]Okay, my suggestion would be [B]The Slayers[/B]. If she's a girly girl...then maybe not ^_^; I'm a tomboy so I'm more into my action manga, but Slayers has it all. [list] [*]Comedy [*]Romance [*]Action [*]Adventure [*]Magic [*]Cute lil' critters [*]A Big Blond Idiot Boy (with mad sword skills) [*]A [B]Female[/B] Lead [*][B]and[/B] evil Priests [/list] What more could you ever want from a manga?[/SIZE][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PainfulLife Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 Magic Knights Rayearth might be a good one as well or maybe even DN Angel.... My girlfreind is obsessed with those ones right now... (she's 15 though...) :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinewoodpine Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 Well... If she like sports, Slam Dunk or Dear Boys (or the Dear Boys: Second Act, although I recommend getting the first part first...). But if she's a soft-type, The Sailor Moon series is nice. Slayers are good too. Never failed to make me laugh. Detective Conan, the first Manga I read... The best thing about it, there's no ending yet! (The current volume is about 40 or above...) I would also recommend XXX Holic and Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle from Clamp, but I don't think she should read these, expecially XXX Holic. It could be misleading sometime. Good luck on your search.

YamiNo Mireille Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 [COLOR=DeepSkyBlue][SIZE=1][FONT=Tahoma]Most likely the Sailor Moon manga or CardCaptor Sakura. o_o I was into those a while ago when I was younger, so... >.o They might be good.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Immortal Meier Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 well..if she's young probably mangas like tokyo mew mew could be something light to bring her into the gender..or if she's a reflective one she could read something like fruit basket..or something of clamp (rayheart,tokyo babilon,clover,x) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could try some of these: [list] [*]Slayers [*]Furuba/Fruits Basket [*]DNAngel [*]Chobits[/list] There's another one, but I can't remember how to spell it, so here goes the pronunciation: Azumangadaioh(gah!) ^_^ I think its a cool manga.[/size][/font][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asian_tofu Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 I wouldn't give her anything they've shown on TV. She's probably seen that before. Try some other series like Inuyasha, if she doesn't mind some pervertedness...-_-; I got into that when I was 11. Chrono Crusade is also pretty good. --BLUE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChibiHorsewoman Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 [color=darkviolet]my husband just started reading Aria and that's a pretty good manga. Yes, I think i know what you're thinking-how can a manga that a grown up guy is reading be appropirate for a 12 year old girl. Well, in the two books that I've read there's no violence, same sex relationships or anything that parents may consider a bad influence on young kids. Also Kare Kano is in manga form, altho I haven't read it yet. If you think she may be able to handle it I'd also recomend Peach Girl, Fushigi Yugi and Mars. But Peach Girl has a few dark undertones in it, Fushigi Yugi gets extremely dark after the first book and Mars has people dealing with rape and suicide so I'm not sure what your parents consider appropriate for tehir kids to read so I'll just be careful. SailorMoon would be good if you coudl find it since aside from Haruka and Michiru I don't see anything that conservative parents would object to. Unless of course they don't like magic. Then no. Well, there's a few suggestions, take them as you will.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dielover Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 Twelve huh? At that age I was already watching Inuyasha and Cowboy Bebop. (I'm a Bad girl) I think Cardcaptor Sakura. Sailor Moon *Shudders* Too... much... happiness and.... love defeats all crap. what about the cut version of Kenshin? When it was cut it was brought down to a Y-7. Ah.. the days when I watched patheticly cut anime. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Inari the Fox Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 [COLOR=DimGray]Well it really depends on what she likes. Does she have a favriote type of show, it would help if you gave a few more details about her. Is she mature, or does she act like a child still? I'm just asking because it would help.[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vash-san Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 ummm... my sister is 12 and she seems to really enjoy Love Hina though ive never read it so...I would recommend something from clamp, like everyone else said CCS, chobits isnt to bad... ohh ramiko takashashi's work is always good for starters, try ramna 1/2, inuyasha, or maison ikkoku....fushigi yuugi is another one that i really enjoyed but it might be a little to mature for your sister... DN Angel is pretty good. hope this helps! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humaru Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 [font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=navy]Since she is 12 I think you should go with Pokemon, CardCaptors, or Sailor Moon. Not the one that is worthy for adult swim. Either of these selections would be convincing for your liitle sister. Later on if your plan is a sucess you can bring her into the true reality of manga and anime[/color][/size].[/font] This goes to my other reply. I had another idea for an anime. A good movie for your sister is Kiki's Delivery Service. [color=#503f86][size=1][b]I merged your two posts.

Solo Tremaine Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 [COLOR=#503F86]He's talking about Manga, Humaru, not animes. Anyway, I wouldn't suggest Pokemon at all, because everyone knows and is sick of it. Perhaps something like Magic Knight Rayearth or Cardcaptor Sakura, as they're aimed towards teenage girls, aren't too heavy with regards to their subject matter and have decent stories. I think that's the major point. You'll know you sisters personal tastes better than us, heh. If she doesn't enjoy it, she won't be willing to go onto other series. So choose whichever one you think's best (as long as it's not shounen- chances are that won't be quite right).[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel Mustang Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 Shouji-ish manga like: 1.Angelic Layer 2.Mink 3.Sailor Moon 4.Azumanga Daioh 5.Cardcaptor Sakura 6.Stray Sheep ETC. Stuff like that. Personally my younger bros like manga that they seen the anime of like King of bandit Jing, Yu-Gi-Oh, and Getbackers. Does she watch anime?
