CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

My friend is turning 14 soon and my other comrade and I are scheming behind her back . She's a big anime fan and we want to surprise her with something new. I was wondering that perhaps you could recommend some titles for her. She likes Inuyasha, Rurouni Kenshin, and other sort of bishonen stuff...any suggestions?

Very well appreciated

I would highly reccomend Ah! My Goddess. safe and cute. captivating story and wonderful art. Or anything by Ranma's creator I believe it was takahasi especially Maison Ikkoku I hope i spelled that right. Chobits was very cute as well.

Angelic Layer is definately a must-read, and it's quite clean. But if you want to go for something a little different, perhaps you should look into Azumanga Daioh. There may be a few curse words and a crude joke or two, but it's really quite hilarious.

Thank you mucho

If she likes shonen... I would suggest One Piece. It's got some violence and minor language but it's a pretty wacky and funny series. YuYu Hakusho is a good manga, too, very similar to the anime series imho. Or you and your friends could all chip in and get her a suscription to Shonen Jump, in which case shed be getting One Piece, YYH, and a lot of other great shonen titles. ^^

maybe project Arms if she doesnt mind quite a bit of blody action and some language

I thought project arms was more for someone considerably older than 14, maybe I'm wrong or thinking of something else. I might be confusing it with planet ladder. I do that sometimes. I guess I'd second the Ah! My Goddess recommendation.

If your going for Bishie type/action manga, maybe you could consider DN Angel, Canidate for Godess, Prince of Tennis or Fruits Basket...they're all pretty good~

.hack//legend of twilight is also good...^_^ similar to .hack/sign except different chars and plot. ^___^

Pita Ten is good too....on the cute side, with chibi-style characters....XD

Shaman King, Jing:King of Bandits, and Full Metal Panic I think are good manga for action/comedy....

Also, any CLAMP manga is good...essp. Angelic Layer~ like Ash said...^.^

Lessie...romance manga, I would say Fruits Basket (again), Kill Me Kiss Me, Girl got game.

I think one manga that's coming out in May, that you could consider is Chrno Crusade...I have heard a lot about it, and if its the same as the anime, it should be pretty good...


Okay, I think that's all....^^''

EDIT:
Hikaru no GO is also good~!!!

**Hikaru no Go and Prince of Tennis are game/sport mangas...so you might want to make sure you like em before you buy it. Because some people don't really care for mangs that center around a game or sport....^^'' just a friendly warning....
