Elaine's Manga Recommendations for Starters

My friend wants to start reading manga, so I have created a recommendation list for her. I just thought I'd share it here since I haven't been updating this site for quite a time now. And it makes me feel sad to not follow my promise of keeping this site more active. :(

Anyway, here's what I have prepared for her.
[Note: Some words/sentences are written in my native language, Filipino. So I have added translations.]

******
Manga sites: MANGAFOX and ONEMANGA
http://mangafox.com
http://onemanga.com

Helpful note: You can always do advanced search in mangafox. Check romance (or/plus whatever genre you want), then choose "completed," para hindi ka bitin [Trans: so you won't be left hanging]. If you want maikli, check the "one-shot" option -- 1 chapter lang sya lagi [Trans: its always 1 chapter] :D And only read 5 star-rated stories, para sure na maganda [so you can be sure it's good] :D

When reading Jap manga, you start from right to, different from the traditional way! :D

***
Pwede mo muna i-try to, para at least may idea ka.[Trans:You can try these stuff first, at least just to have an idea.]
One-shots For starters:
1. Winter Flowers http://www.mangafox.com/manga/winter_flowers/
2. Sweet 16 http://www.mangafox.com/manga/sweet_16/

***
Longer than the stories above.
Completed:
1. Moe Kare!! (I've read this series twice! Hahaha! Mejo bastos lang sa una..Hehe) [Trans: It's just kid of perverted at first. Hehe]

Elaine's Weird Interest: YAOI aka BOY LOVE :))
Warning. Some stories contain mature stuff (guy-to-guy, kaya weird hehe). Make sure no one's watching over you when you're reading it :))

1. Just try the first story, if you like it then read all. Hahaha. This one's a little conservative pa. :D
