As Venus Capriccio manga came to an halt in May of this year, the mangaka Mai Nishikata will be debuting her new manga series, Kaizō Shōnen Cyboy (Rebuilt Boy Cyboy) or “Cyboy” in Hana to Yume magazine as of January 5th, 2009! I am very excited to read the manga as soon I can get hold of it. The promo art looks wonderful, and it looks like the main character is a male with black hair. XD
10 shoujo mangas you can’t miss July 7, 2008

With all the shoujo manga titles available to read made possible by scanlation teams there’s a lot of titles that I recommend some are not even licenced in the United States yet as of today. Although most of them may eventually be licensed I think these manga series deserve more recognition. These title are available to read via http://www.mangavolume.com/, http://www.mangafox.com/ and http://www.onemanga.com/!

Currently there has been 3 volumes releases in Japan and as far as I know there’s 2 volumes of that in Chinese and it has been translated into English by scanlation groups up to the end of volume one.
This is actually a really incredible collection of work. It’s not a normal shoujo manga I got to say. It draws you in without the extra smut or anything like that in normal shoujo cliche mangas which I think is quite overrated and the art is really good. I’ve been thinking about making a fan-page to that manga but so far I lack resources lack knowing both of the languages without the help of the translation tools. -_-;;
Mangaka recommendations & star signs January 9, 2008

I think the below list of mangakas have awesome art and talent for making the reader affected by the enticing story and plot lines. Though sometimes I got to admit I do tend to favor the ones with my preference of manga art–tall and not really chibi characters, not girly (except guys lol) and not too much cliche or way too much love going on that is disturbing the storyline. =/
Alright that said, I would like to recommend those fellow manga readers my favorite mangakas of all time in not particular order because I like them all for their uniqueness.
As many will realize this list will change from time to time because more mangakas are publishing excellent stuff so I’ll keep this post updated if anyone cares…
Kanno Aya [Aquarious] – Otomen, Akusaga
Sakurakouji Kanoko [Leo] – Black Bird
Miyasaka Kaho [Libra] – Bokutachi wa Shitte Shimatta a.k.a.We Experienced the Affair
