It's basically one of the best shoujo manga in existance. 'Nuff said.
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.

Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.

But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

Ain`t it for a girl`s audience? Then again, the thread starter didn`t list "it`s" gender.

Is it good enough for guys to like it?

Oh, I'd definetly recommened it, regardless of gender. Sure, since it IS a shojo anime, there are SOME girly moments, but it's overall a comedy with action, drama, and intrugue thrown in. Watch it, you'll love it ;)

You haven't met Kyo, yet...or most of the characters in Fruits Basket for that matter. :sweat: Just because it's girl-oriented doesn't mean there's no action in it. ;)

Fruits basket is for either gender IMO.

Lol, AMEN!!!!!

If you want action, you'd love Kyo, Hatsuharu, and Kagura. And if you like evil, Akito is one of the cruelest villians in anime of all time!!! :evil:

It looks interesting, though I have yet to read/watch it. I do like some supposedly "girly" ones, like Tokyo Mew Mew, though sometimes for... different reasons. :p

Um, it's not on CN, actually, and the manga is licensed. Which means that scanlations are sort of out of the question. But trust me, it's worth purchasing.

Could you PM me and tell me how that works? I mean, I know Tokyopop sometimes makes the first chapters of new titles available for download through their site, but if you're talking about more than that-- PM if you would.

I really hope I don`t look like a (you-know-what) whne i purcahse a manga with a Japanes school girl on the cover. If this turns out tobe a readable chick flick then my library card will be soiled and I will dislike all of you.

Just kidding.

A lot of guys really like Furuba. While it may be, strictly speaking, shoujo manga, it's also just a really good story.

It is good for somebody to expand their horizons. Basically what I am saying is that it's good for guys to get atleast some exposure to "girly animes"

Me, being the manly man I am [/sarcasm] quite enjoyed the series, not to mention Full Moon and Aishiteruze Baby. They give off a warm, fuzzy-feeling type of feeling within you

Yeah, me being the girly girl that I am[/notsarcastic], I enjoy reading "shounen" manga all the time. Osaka enjoys both Death Note and Rurouni Kenshin. You can't let labels prevent you from enjoying manga or anime that are good.
