for those who don't know yet, manga is Japanese, meaning comic (more or less).
i'm soo into manga these days. there's a bookstore in the building next to my office and i would go there like, every day.
i'd go crazy for there are so many manga to buy and so little money to spend :D
nowadays there are like hundreds of manga yet so little with good quality in term of story and drawing. picking the ones worth reading isn't as easy as it used to be.
So, here are my recent manga picks:
Yotsubato! (Yotsuba&!) by Kiyohiko Azuma
my successful trial buy. a comedy, simple heartwarming stories about things that happen around a ultracurious-supercute-little girl named Yotsuba. She is curious about almost everything, you'd think she's been living at world's end.
What best describe the stories is "enjoy everything". You can't help but smiling when Yotsuba is "exploring".
There aren't many dialogues, but the face expression and body gestures are very descriptive despite the fact that like most manga, Yotsubato! depicts simple drawings.
Emma by Kaoru Mori
some people would call this a chick manga (shoujo), a classic-rich boy fell in love with a beautiful maid girl-love story. like Yotsubato!, Emma doesn't rely on heavy text and conversations to tell a story, but more on the face expression and body gestures of the characters. romance with tragedy.
