Ceres is one of my favourites.

It’s about a celestial that’s reincarnated. Her reincarnated self is nearly murdered by her family (a tradition in her family is to kill each reincarnated version) and it awakens her original self.

Two personalities share the soul and body, and they have to run from her family.

Fruits Basket is lovely. Sailor Moon of course, Ranma 1/2 is goofy, as is Martian Successor Nadesico. Those are pretty old school though. 😉

Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood is a great shout. One Punch Man is also pretty brilliant, even if it takes a while to get used to the way the artwork is done specifically for him.

Depends what you’re into. If you like girly stuff (Shoujo) I suggest Cardcaptor Sakura or Sailor Moon or Phantom Thief Jeanne. If you like more masculine stuff (Shounen) go with Inuyasha, One Piece or or Bleach. Black Butler is a Shounen. Blackbird kind of mixes both the Shounen and the Shoujo. It’s what I started with.

I watched anime for years before, though. I started with Cardcaptors and Sailor Moon (both dubbed). Then I went to Bleach and then Inuyasha. Sword Art Online and Spice And Wolf are Also good.

It’s going to really depend on what you like! I love adorable silly manga and sometimes I’ll adventure into manga like Deadman wonderland.

My personal 2 favorites are:
YOTSUBATO!
Madoromi-chan ga Iku.

Other ones I like to read are(and not caught up on at all):
Chi’s sweet home
One punch-man (♥️lovethisone)
Horimiya
Sailor Moon
Sweetness & lightning
The girl from the other side

It’s honestly all preference and what you like. Explore around a little until you find what you like 🙂 all these are great suggestions from everyone! Best of luck! The manga world is wonderful. My boyfriend is getting me into a Korean one (I think) it’s called solo leveling and looks amazing! He also has been trying to get me into tower of God which is a webtoon 🙂
