Welcome to Gaia! ::

if you liked w juliet, then you'd probably like tenshi ja nai also, if you haven't already read it. i actually like tenshi ja nai better than w juliet 'cause it's like in skip beat where the cannon couple don't get together very easily. i've only read five volumes of it so far, but i don't think that the boy's even really confessed his feelings yet (izumi, the same name as sano from hana kimi >.< just had to point it out) and i don't think the girl's realized her feelings for him as anything more than extreme devotion, loyalty, and friendship (just like kyoko >.<) and the girl's another one of those strong charactered persons.

and i can't believe i didn't realize that the quote's from the princess bride either o.o

i've seen it out in waldens but it's not an extremely well known title and the publisher isn't very well known either. it's published by go!comi. i'm sure that even if it isn't stocked that it'd be really easily ordered if you go to waldens, boarders, or b&nobles.

it's really similar to w juliet in that the guy's cross dressing and an actor, but i guess it'd be better if started the story from the beginning. so it's about this girl named hikaru who did this modeling thing for a friend of her mom's when she was young and so the kids around her ostracized her and because of the abuse she's received, she now dislikes standing out in any way and has become the "mushroom" girl, likes to keep to the dark and quiet places, keep an image as an average girl, not exceedingly pretty or smart, you get the idea. well, her mom's remarried and is presently moving to france with the new father, but hikaru doesn't want to go so she gets transferred to the famous, prestigious all girls dormitory high school her mom used to go to. there, she meets this girl who's an actress (their first meeting is really quite weird and kinda funny) and then later finds out that they're roommates, which is a total horror to her 'cause there'd be no way for her to not stand out being the roommate of the school idol. later on in the first volume, hikaru gets into a situation where she finds out that izumi (the actress) is actually a boy! she totally freaks, but she's so submissive that she agrees to everything that izumi tells her to do after barely threatening her. so the rest of it is just hikaru getting through her high school life with a boy cross dressing actress/idol as a roommate and developing her character as well as her friendship and blah blah blah.

OH! Wait a minute! I've seen this manga before. I mean...seen as in I saw it in a bookstore, I haven't actually read it.

Oh! I know another manga w/ cross-dressing. It's called Kill me, Kiss me....or is it Kiss me, Kill me??.... sweatdrop It's something like that.

I think it's a pretty good series though it's kinda weird in the sense that the first volume is about the two cousins, a boy and girl, switching places so the girl can be closer to her idol. Then all of a sudden the second volume and up focuses on the boy cousin...it's still good though.

Lol ya, re-reading series is good.

Speaking of which...I want to watch Death Note. I've already read the entire series and I've seen a few eps of the anime, but I should finish watching it. blaugh

OOO La corta---watever. I know that series too. The one with the fairy and musical thingies. I read a preview for that in Shoujo Beat and it seemed pretty cool.

Ah...no I don't know a site...I'm sorry. I checked like 4 or 5 different sites I had favorited for the massive number of free manga you can read on them, and the most I can find is volume one or two of La Corda D'oro...sorry. I even tried searching online for it, and nada. I think the series is still too new and there's also the issue that it's already been liscensed.

Oh, does anyone here read any series from CLAMP??
