No, I'm French, but my name is also Louise. I do like to cosplay and imitate as Louise from Zero no Tsukaima, though. She's my favorite character ever.

Liar, fate's your favorite character.

Started up Girls Bravo today, seems decent but not too promising.
Got bored around chap 8, but finished 2nd volume up to chapter 12.

I've read (or dropped) every single manga that people have said they've completed or talked about in this thread @__@.  I wish someone would give me something new for once in my life (but also good T__T).

So, in light of this thought, I decided to bring to you a completely unique manga which recently gained entry into my favorites:


Nijigahara Holograph
http://myanimelist.net/images/userimages/8228.jpg


Synopsis
Suzuki is a troubled boy. He's lived with uncaring foster parents for most of his life, alienated from the other kids at his school, owner of a cynical, unhappy mentality. Komatsuzaki is a violent, unpredictable bully whose head trauma causes him to act in mysterious, inexplicable ways. Arakawa is a no-nonsense, normal girl who pines after Komatsuzaki but can never have him. A teacher with just one working eye. A mother who committed suicide. A daughter in an endless coma. Attempted rapes, murders, extortion, sexual deviance, and a freakish explosion in the butterfly population. All of these elements are whirled together in a story spanning 10 years, a tale of blackness, pain and apocalypse. And maybe just a bit of hope and redemption. It's a spiritual cross between the misanthropic suburban malevolence of Kyoko Okazaki's Rivers Edge and the eerie mysticality of Donnie Darko.

My comments:

Nijigahara Holograph is what I've completed most recently.  It's a masterpiece in more ways than one, and a manga you will certainly have to look back on in order to fully understand everything that happens in it; certainly it is one of the most complex manga I've ever read.  All this being said, it goes down as one of my top 5 favorite (out of the tons and tons of manga I've read), but in order to fully appreciate this manga you have to be open to such complexities that are offered here.

This manga is certainly NOT for those who ONLY enjoy more shallow type manga stories (i.e. Bleach, Naruto, One Piece, Bitter Virgin, most romantic comedies etc.), though people who enjoy those (I enjoy some of them myself) could certainly find themselves liking this manga if they have an open mind.
