Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge

Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge is published as manga and anime and written by Tomoko Hayakawa. Alternative titles for this series are 'The Wallflower', 'Sunako of Many Forms', 'Perfect Girl Evolution', 'My Fair Lady'. This is shoujo manga (which means it's directed mainly at girls and women).

Plotline:

Sunako Nakahara is the main character of this series who is supposed to evolve into a perfect lady, that being said, Sunako is not at all lady like. Instead she seems to be socially retarded trying to live secluded from society in total darkness while watching horror movies. The horror movies are nothing compared to Sunako though, she seems so scary that lamps burst, people faint or start screaming about ghosts, and that's just when they see her face.

Sunako moves to a mansion that belongs to her aunt who is always out of the country. There are four gorgeous guys living in the mansion though, and they've been given the mission of turning Sunako into a lady. If they succeed, the rent will be free, if they fail, it will triple. Can they turn this dark, absent minded girl into a perfect lady?


I like this one very much, it's one of my favourites. Many hilarious scenes, nice fights, and cute guys!
Unfortunately the anime series has ended. However, the manga is still ongoing.

Claymore















Claymore manga is written by Norihiro Yagi, the genre could be described as fantasy/horror.

Plotline:

Claymores are powerful female warriors part of an organisation and are called so because of the large swords they carry, people also refer to them as Silver-eyed Witches. Their sole purpose is to defeat the Yoma, these are demons that feed on people and take their form as disguise.

Claymores are half human, half Yoma, as
the organisation inserts Yoma blood into young girls in order to grant them the necessairy power to sense and destroy the Yoma. However, once a Claymore uses too much of her Yoma power and crosses the limit the Yoma half takes over and they become an "awakened being" gaining an incredible amount of power and the desire to eat guts.

The organisation exists of 47 Claymores (and the people who boss them around obviously), number 47 being the 'weakest' one and in this case, the main character Claire. Even though she wears the lowest number, she is not at all the least powerful. Claire became a Claymore after her only friend (a Claymore, the strongest number 1 in history - Theresa of the faint smile) got killed in front of her by an awakened being. The one thing she strives for is to defeat the one who killed Theresa.


Personally I love this manga/anime, it's beautifully drawn, the atmosphere is a bit grave yet appealing, the main character is well put together and the fights are incredible. I really recommend this one, although, if you tend to be more into the humorous style, this may not be for you.
