    I have study hall once again and Im running out of books to read since thats about the only fun thing we can do in there. I have just around $100 and I plan to use it to buy manga so It will last me the rest of the school year.

    So does anyone suggest a manga series that has the complete english version out in america? I plan to buy them from halfebay if I can find them all.

    Really the only manga I never liked was IS because it was about some girl that was a model or something and they showed her panties like every other page.

    Manga I have:

    Yuyu Hakusho
    Inuyasha
    One Piece
    Naruto
    Shaman King
    Hikaru No Go
    Dragon Ball/Z
    Bleach
    Trigun

    Initial D looks like a series that will last me long enough but Ichigo 100% only has 5 volumes out I think =/

    Either way Rep+ I might get these if the total cost is under 100$

    It's not completed yet but it sure is long enough and completely awesome :D Though you could probably save yourself a bunch of money just downloading the scanlations.

    Yeah, downloading them is free. But he wanted them in a Study Hall?
    Unless they have computers there.
    I'd suggest Black Cat, which is completed. But I don't think they're all released in the US.

    Yea we have study hall in the cafeteria so thats why I wanted the book itself. But Im will just get the ones currently since they are more than 10 volumes and that should last me the whole semester.

    Berserker isn't yet complete. And it's a Seinen manga, not a Shounen. So just a word of warning.

    You know I'm surprised nobody has brought up Death Note yet. One of my favorites, that's for sure.

    Edit* I'm not sure if the manga is complete in english, however.

    Death Note doesn't need to be mentioned...its involuntary. Everyone who is anyone has already read it/seen it.

    HunterxHunter is a series that I always enjoy. =3 The beginning seems a little slow and childish, but it really picks up and becomes a lot more interesting in later volumes. Only problem is that it's not even finished in Japan, let alone here.

    As for completed(ish) series, how about Saiyuki or Samurai Deeper Kyo? Saiyuki has a few series to the name, but most of them are out in the US now. And Samurai Deeper Kyo has pretty much the same issue as HunterxHunter. All great shonen manga, since that's what your choices seem to peg you as liking. ;3 (Not that I can blame you; give me a series about fighting demons over a teenage drama any day. :\ )

    I'd recommend Rurouni Kenshin. I believe there are about 28 volumes in the complete series, and they're all released in English.

    Perhaps you should download the first few chapters of each manga and see which ones you like?

    Great Idea Commy XD Thats how I found out about most of the good manga series because Shonen Jump has sneak peeks of manga with the 1st couple chapters in their monthly book.

    Shaman King has 17 books out, with a new one every two months or so, its a little more youngerish, but I LOVE it.

    I would recommend Ouran HS Host Club but i'd rather you watch the anime instead.
    What genre are you mostly looking to find?
