Manga

I like Manga very much. I have about 200 books them. I liked to read books since I was with discretion. It was favorite to have read especially comics. My first collecting Manga was "Akazukin Chacha." It is the comics published by the Ribbon. Its contents were gag strip. Wolf Man and girl wearing a red hood comes up. However, it has nothing to do with the story of Little Red Riding Hood. I like more of a boy than a girl comics. Comics recommended are "April is your lie" recently.
