Heya, everyone. This is Vann/Hakkai here. I've been asked what's my favorite manga. I'm really getting tired of expalining everytime, so I've decided to list my top five and my reason for thinking so.

At number five comes a Shonen Jump classic, Rurouni Kenshin. Let's face it people, nothing gets much better then meiji era Tokyo with a former assassin. Plus, he gets hit. A lot. Usually by Kaoru.

Number four is a little-- Okay, a lot different from the rurouni, Trinity Blood. Listen to me people. I like vampires. I like humans fighting vampires. And I really like vampires that feed on the blood of other vampires. And Abel's hilarious expressions and lines add only to the reasons why I like this manga.

Coming in at number three is an age old classic, InuYasha. People, it you haven't figured it out yet, I like manga's where the characters act clueless but kick a**. BUT InuYasha kicks a**, swears a lot, and wields a really big sword. I mean, you got to love half-demons wielding swords that's about just as big as they are.

Nearly there with number two, Ranma 1/2. Sure, a lot of the people I know say it's a pretty wierd and stupid manga. But hell, that's the kind of manga I enjoy the most! I mean, nothing's funnier then a guy turning into a girl whenever he's splashed with cold water. Plus, it has action, romance, and a LOT of comedy. My kind of manga.

And finally, at number one, where my nickname derives from, is Saiyuki. Let me explain my reasoning. This manga has it all! For one thing, the language is completely uncensored. It features a priest who swears, smokes, and gambles, a monkey who's appetite cold rival Luffy from One Piece, a perverted half-kappa who carries enough alchohol and perverted videos in his bag to make a Buddhist monk faint ( No joke, look at volume 1), and a demon slayer who you can't really tell if he's being sarcastic or not! Trust me, this is a great read!
