COFFEE PRINCE
"Choi Han Kyul, played by Gong Yoo, is the cocky son of a rich family who runs a food corporation. He doesn't believe in love and certainly doesn't want to get married despite his family's requests. On the other hand, Go Eun Chan, played by Yoon Eun Hye, is a 24-year old tomboyish female who gets mistaken as a guy quite often. She takes up every job possible - waitress, food deliverer, etc - and has the responsibility of taking care of her mother and younger sister. Eun Chan accidentally meets Han Kyul twice, once on a delivery and once during a robbery. Han Kyul, not knowing that Eun Chan is actually a girl, decides to hire Eun Chan as a false "lover" so that he can escape the blind dates arranged by his grandmother. After getting an ultimatum from his grandmother, Han Kyul takes over a run-down old coffee shop, later renamed Coffee Prince. In order to attract female customers, he only hires good looking male employees. In a struggle with money, Eun Chan, whom Han Kyul has already mistaken as a boy, hides her gender identity to get a job at Coffee Prince. Soon feelings start to spark between Eun Chan and Han Kyul. Because he's unaware that Eun Chan is a girl, Han Kyul starts to question his sexuality."
This is one of the best live dramas I have ever seen, and it's definitely worth watching if you love a good romance story. At 17 episodes this show feels just right, and you will fall in love with all the characters and their stories very easily!
HANA YORI DANGO
Hana Yori Dango (Boys Over Flowers) is a great live Action remake of the anime series! They tell the story in only 9 episodes, but somehow they seem to hit all the important highlights of the anime. Everyone should check it out, it's definitely worth the watch ^_^
  
 
        
Here are the Manga i'm reading right now, that I think are definitely worth the time to check out! Enjoy ^_^
DRAMACON
"When amateur writer Christie settles in the artist alley of her first ever anime convention, she sees it as an opportunity to promote the manga she had started with her artist boyfriend. But when she unexpectedly falls for a mysterious cosplayer, things become complicated. What do you do when you love someone who is going to be miles away from you in just a couple of days?!"
Surprisingly, the story is extremely well done, and I am dying for the next one to come out!
Book 2 of Dramacon came out (at least in my area heh), and I have to tell you..I'm seriously addicted to this series. I couldn't put the book down! The only thing that makes me sad is now i'm going to have to wait a while for book 3! To find out more about Svetlana Chmakova's manga Dramacon, or to buy it, go to http://www.tokyopop.com
"It's Christie's second year at the Lakeside Anime Convention and the drama picks up right where it left off in Dramacon volume one! With her new partner-in-crime, a.k.a. artiste extraordinaire Bethany, she is promoting her latest comic. Matt is also back, but to Christie's shock, he now has a girlfriend!"

When Hatsumi has to buy a pregnancy test because her popular sister Akane is late, Mrs. Tachibana's son, Ryoki, who used to bully Hatsumi as a kid, promises not to tell the world about Hatsumi's secret, only if she becomes his slave.

Despite the budding romance between Hatsumi and Azusa, Ryoki has control over her through the secret that could ruin the lives of everyone in Hatsumi's family, and he hasn't forgotten who his slave is!"
ABSOLUTE BOYFRIEND

Has Riiko died and gone to heaven? The cute guy turns out to be sweet, smart, a great cook, and lots more. And he looks like a million bucks, which is what he's going to cost Riiko if she doesn't return him in time..."
  
HANA-KIMI
"The Prettiest Boy In School...Isn't A Boy!

But as fate would have it, they're more than classmates...they're roommates! Now, Mizuki must keep her secret in the classroom, the locker room, and her own bedroom. And her classmates--and the school nurse--must cope with a new transfer student who may make them question their own orientation..."
 
HAPPY HUSTLE HIGH

She meets and falls in love-naturally--with one of the three most popular and handsome boys in the Student Council, Yasuaki Garaku! Unfortunately, Yasuaki doesn't care for girls...and when the girls' Student Council clashes head-on with the boys' Student Council, Hanabi steps in to become a member--hoping she'll change Yasuaki's mind!"
At only 5 books, this is a short manga but definitely a good read. Has a great sense of humor, and a sweet love story. Check it out! ^_^
W Juliet
Sixteen-year-old tomboy Ito Miura has been chosen to play Romeo in Romeo and Juliet! The problem? She doesn't want the male role!
So, who will be Juliet? The favorite for the part, beautiful and vain Tsugumi, must compete with the cute new transfer student, Makoto Amano. But Makoto has a secret, and if rival Tsugumi, or anyone in the school, finds out, it could ruin Makoto's life, dragging Ito down as well!
I'm actually in the process of reading this one right now, but I'm loving it so far! Definitely worth checking out ^_^
Kare First Love
"Coy and self-conscious high school student Karin Karino never paid much attention to boys until she met Kiriya, a popular student from a nearby boys' school. Karin and Kiriya embark on a romantic journey despite Karin's classmate Yuka's best efforts to sabotage their relationship, but Karin soon learns that living happily ever after isn't on the curriculum when she becomes Kiriya's center of attention, as well as embittered Yuka's bull's-eye on her dartboard of hate."
I am in the process of reading this series, and so far I absolutely love it! Definitely check this 10 book series out! ^_^
 
MARS
"Kira, a shy high school student, lives only for her art. Rei, An arrogant, rebellious and violent playboy, wears his delinquency like a badge of honor. They are exact opposites in every way, but when Kira sees Rei kissing a statue of Mars, she overcomes her fears and asks him to model for her. And, to everyone's surprise, Rei agrees.
An epic romance that spans 15 volumes, MARS is one of Japan's most popular teen-girl comics ever."
This is an old one, but still great manga to check out!
Mugen Spiral
Yayoi--the 78th Head of Household of the Suzuka Clan--is a mystic with a tremendous power over the spirits. Of course, along with great power comes those with the desire to steal it! Enter Ura, who wants to become the King of the Demons. He comes to the human world to challenge Yayoi, but ends up stripped of his powers--and is sealed away as a black cat instead! Although Ura is still hell-bent on "eating" Yayoi's power, the unlikely pair find themselves caught up in an adventure they never imagined!
This is an excellent book, and definitely worth the read! There are only two books in this series, and book 2 is expected to be released this August!
Planet Ladder
"Kaguya is the orphaned survivor of a war she can't remember. She has grown to love her new life and the parents who have adopted her, until once again, her life is torn away from her. A boy she remembers only in her dreams comes to Kaguya and gives her the truth ... that she is a princess from another world ... "
I just finished this series and I have to say it was interesting. I really loved the way the characters were all drawn, and the art of the manga! A down side to the manga is that, at times it was confusing as to who was speaking, and the book seemed to skip around a bit too much. I wasn't a fan of the ending (the first half of the series was great, but the end was just horrible), but overall it was a fairly good series with likeable characters (the main characters are really the best part of the whole series...the plot was a bit confusing, especially towards the end lol)
