Manga always kept within easy reach for reread, Part 1 (Manga beside series)

Manga beside banner

I was tweeting about the manga I keep by my bedside for those midnight reread urges; the list reached 14 so I decided to transfer it here.

Not in any particular order:

  1. SC: I Hate You But I Love You (Kiss, Zekkou, Kiss) by Fujiwara Yoshiko
  2. Let's Go Home (Ouchi e Kaerou) by Ichikawa Show
  3. Master and I (Goshujinsama to Watashi) by Yamada Komomo
  4. Misunderstand Girl & Angry Prince (Kanchigai Musume to Buchigiri Ouji) by Shiumi Saki
  5. My Prince (Ore-sama Ouji) by Aikawa Saki
  6. Kingdom of The Beast (Hyakujuu Kingdom) by Takagi Shigeyoshi « kept only for the one-shot Bitter Trap actually
  7. Miracle Blue (Aoi Kiseki) by Mitsuki Miko
  8. Red Haired Snow White (Akagami no Shirayukihime) by Akizuki Sorata
  9. Oh Butterfly, Oh Flower (Chou yo Hana yo) by Yoshihara Yuki
  10. Beyond the Blindfold (Mekakushi no Kuni) by Tsukuba Sakura
  11. My Lovely Honey (Barairo My Honey) by Ohmi Tomu
  12. Ghost Hunt by Inada Shiho & Ono Fuyumi✱
  13. Skip Beat! by Nakamura Yoshiki✱
  14. Alice in the Country of Hearts (Heart no Kuni no Alice) by QuinRose x Hoshino Soumei
  15. School Hotel (Gakkou Hotel) by Morie Satoshi

✱Selected volumes only

This list doesn't include series that require marathoning from the beginning whenever there's a new release (to maximize reading pleasure) like My Sweet Kaicho (Kaichou wa Maid-Sama) by Fujiwara Hiro and Electric Daisy (Dengeki Daisy) by Motomi Kyousuke.

I guess it's not surprising that the stacks near me are all shoujo/josei, huh? Bishounen angst after all is best savored at midnight.

Anyhoo, so which manga do you keep around for reread? Pls feel free to share in the comments. I'm curious. ^^

That is quite a list. not to mention you still have more.Ha!(And more than half of those are also my favourites :D And I somehow ALWAYS expecting Red Haired Snow White each week, but luck isn't exactly on my side lately, I guess yours too. lol)

I love electric daisy! Well, all of Motomi Kyousuke sensei's work that are available actually. I was wondering whether there are other manga by him that had been released by elex or m&c?

As expected from Niki-chan, that list a pretty long list! XD

Manga that I keep near (actually it's right beside my pillow :D) is Samurai Deeper Kyo, Love So Life, and sometimes Fruits Basket & Skip Beat (well, looking at Ren-sama before sleep always give good pleasure :p)

Just curious about Heart no Kuni no Alice, do you mean the Chuang Yi's version? Because, as far as I know, Elex or m&c! or Level still haven't publish that title :)

@Kia-san,
LOL! But I'm more interested in which "half" are your favorites. Care to share? *wink* *wink*

As for Red Haired Snow White, we're all in the same boat because it serializes in LaLa DX which is not a monthly anthology.

Off-hand, I can only think of Motomi Kyousuke-sensei's Beast Master, but neither m&c! nor Elex has published it. VIZ Media already published its version.

So, looking forward to your list ^^

@ayu-chan,
Good for you and you still have lots moar Skip Beat! to look forward to.. Lucky ^^

@baka-girl-san,
Wi-chan!! You mean "sasuga ore"? XDDD Fruits Basket got kicked out from the bedside to make way for other Hakusensha shoujo ^^ I really should move Love So Life closer, too.

About Alice in the Country of Hearts, Chuang Yi hasn't published it either. I'm referring to Tokyopop's version (which I asked Cyan-san to get during AFA X days, but no dice).

Anyhoo, thanks Kia-san, ayu-chan and Wi-chan for commenting. *hugs*
