Since we have a thread for what we're watching, why not one for what we're reading?

At this point I'm just reading the US releases of Yotsuba to! and Aria. Both are great.
Also a book on object-oriented design patterns, but I guess that doesn't belong in this thread

I'm reading those, too(actually, I'm reading Aqua).
I'm also reading Kashimashi, Strawberry Panic!, and Black God.
Read volume 1 of Shana, then I saw the Hyuga Hinata type girl in volume 2 and stopped. And the artwork scared me. Shana looks 10 and the main guy's mom looks 16.
Skimmed through Kurohime and hated it. I'm in and out of I''s, and my boss keeps trying to push Claymore on me.

claymore is excellent, but if you've seen the anime, it's almost exactly the same, excluding the ending since the manga hasn't finished yet.

Clare making out with that kid turned me away.

Actually I heard that part wasn't in the manga.

Claymore anime suck d!ck a deep throat length. It stinked the last 3-4 eps. But I prefer anime than manga, on other series.

Echo that.
Also One Piece is still going strong. I liked Hatsukoi Limited but it seems its been killed off early.
I also like Eyeshield 21 enough to read it when it comes out but not enough to buy it

Coincidentally, I've also been reading more manga. Last week, I marathoned Negima and just a couple days ago, I finished Kenshin. Now, I'm planning to check out cool & spicy Shugo Chara.
I think I'll check out 3x3 Eyes. I never got to finish the series back in high school.

Everyone here seems to like Negima!, too. Damn. Am I the only person who hates Ken Akamatsu?!
I would also like to complain about Strawberry Panic! Only a few of the lesbians at my catholic high school were hot(true story), in this manga they all are.

I'm now reading Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou, also known as YKK. It's a lovely, serene slice of life series with great pacing, beautiful art, and endearing characters. Highly recommended if you're into Aria or those kind of series.

The art seems kind of old school.

I've read a few chapters of YKK. Great stuff, and as FCL said, anyone who likes Aria will definitely love it.
