10部不可不看的少女漫畫
1 ty Guardian Sailor Moon
美少女戰士Author / Artist: Naoko Takeuchi
作者：武內直子Publisher: KodanshaComics
出版商：講談社
Volumes: 18
卷數：18卷Usagiis a cheerful, sometimes scatterbrained teen who discovers that she (and her friends) are reincarnated warriors from Moon Kingdom who must save the world from the forces of Darkness. With the help of two magical cats and her compatriots Sailor Mercury, Sailor Mars, Sailor Jupiter, and Sailor Venus (and many more Sailor Scouts who join the story later), Sailor Moon battles evil and discovers her ties to her past life may lead her to a future that she could have never imagined.
月野兔是一個活潑開朗，偶爾又有點脫線的少女，有一天，她發現自己（以及朋友們）是拯救世界於黑暗之中的月亮王國戰士的轉世。在兩隻有魔法的貓以及她的戰友，水星、水兵火星、水兵木星和水兵金星（後來又有許多水兵戰士加入）的幫助下，水兵月戰勝了黑暗勢力，並發現她前世的身份會帶領她走向一個從未想象過的未來。Credited as the series that introduced North American readers to the joys of shojo manga when it was first published by TokyoPop, Sailor Moon was out of print for many years, until Kodansha Comics began republishing new editions (with new translations) in mid-2011. Now a new generation of shojo manga fans (as well as older readers who fondly remember Sailor Moon from their younger days) can rediscover why they love this quintessential magical girl adventure series once more.
《美少女戰士》一開始由TokyoPop出版，這一系列的少女漫畫深受北美讀者的歡迎，《美少女戰士》一度絕版了許多年，直到講談社在2011年年中開始推出新版。現在，新一代的少女漫畫粉絲們（以及從小就追《美少女戰士》的老讀者們）就會重新發現，她們爲何會再一次鍾情於這個魔法女孩的冒險故事。ts Basket
水果籃子Author/Artist: Natsuki Takaya
作者：高屋奈月Publisher: TokyoPop
出版商：TokyoPopVolumes: 23
卷數：23卷Through a series of wacky circumstances, schoolgirl Tohru Honda takes up residence at the swank residence of the very wealthy, but very cursed Sohma family. Their magical burden? They turn into Chinese zodiac animals whenever they're hugged by a member of the opposite sex.
經歷了一系列不可思議的事情後，女學生本田透最終在富有卻受到詛咒的草摩家住下來。他們身上都被施下了魔法，只要與異性擁抱，就會變回與自己生肖對應的動物。Fruits Basket starts off as a goofy romantic comedy, then develops into an emotional roller coaster that mixes humor, fantasy, profoundly emotional romance and family drama for an addictive mix that has made it the best-selling shojo manga title in America. It's one of those classic shojo stories that should always be in print -- so hopefully another publisher will pick this series up someday if/when the existing copies of the TokyoPop edition ever become scarce.
《水果籃子》一開始走的是天真浪漫的喜劇路線，後來便出現了情感上的重大轉折，集幽默、幻想、深刻的浪漫情感以及家庭故事爲一體，使人大呼過癮，從而也使《水果籃子》成爲美國最暢銷的少女漫畫。它也成爲公認的應該一版再版的經典少女漫畫之一。TokyoPop版現存的副本已經幾乎沒有了，希望有一天，能有其他的出版商能夠將其出版。3 Beat!
華麗的挑戰Author/Artist: Yoshiki Nakamura
作者：仲村佳樹Publisher: Shojo Beat / VIZ Media
出版商：Shojo Beat/VIZ MediaVolumes: 26 (continuing)
卷數：26卷（連載中）Plain Jane Kyoko Mogami moves to Tokyo with her childhood friend (and lifelong crush) Sho Fuwa, who is pursuing his dream of becoming a rock star. To support Sho, Kyoko quits school and works at several part-time jobs. But her illusions of romance are shattered when she discovers that Sho sees her only as a servant, not a girlfriend. Now burning with anger, Kyoko vows to get her revenge. Her plan? To enter the world of show business and become an even bigger star than Sho.
外表平凡的女孩最上恭子和沒想成爲搖滾明星的青梅竹馬不破尚一起搬去了東京。爲了照顧尚，恭子選擇輟學，並打了好幾份工。但是，當她發現尚只是把他當成一個僕人，而非女朋友看待時，恭子所有的浪漫幻想也破滅了。帶着滿腔憤怒，恭子開始了她的報復。她的計劃就是進入娛樂圈，併成爲一名比尚更耀眼的明星。Skip Beat! has one of the strangest heroines in shojo manga today. After having her heart broken by Sho, Kyoko is positively allergic to the thought of romance -- even when suave superstar actor Ren Tsuruga shows an interest in her. She takes on acting challenges with a passion that borders on obsession. She believes in fairies and has a pack of 'grudge' demons who pop out to give her advice.
《華麗的挑戰》的女主角是史上最奇怪的少女漫畫女主角之一。被尚傷透心之後，恭子對戀愛變得十分敏感，即使溫柔的天王級演員敦賀蓮對她表現好感時也是如此。她對挑戰滿懷熱情，近乎癡迷。她相信精靈是存在的，並擁有一個會跳出來爲她出主意的小惡魔。So why do I love Skip Beat so much? Maybe because it's got a quirky mix of humor, glamour and romance that's unlike any other shojo manga out there today. Sure, she's weird, but Kyoko's got a knack for pulling out a win even when the odds are against her. A strangely addictive and consistently fun read that keeps me entertained with every volume.
爲什麼我這麼喜歡《華麗的挑戰》呢？也許是因爲它不同於今天其他的少女漫畫，是集搞笑、魔法和言情於一體。當然，恭子的性格有點神經質，但是恭子每次都能在逆境中化險爲夷。這部漫畫引人入勝又樂趣十足，每一卷都帶給我歡笑。4 igi Yugi: The Mysterious Play
不可思議的遊戲Author/Artist: Yuu Watase
作者：渡瀨悠宇Publisher:: Shojo Beat / VIZ Big / VIZ Media
出版商：Shojo Beat / VIZ Big / VIZ MediaVolumes: 18 / VIZ Big omnibus editions: 6
卷數：18/VIZ綜合版：6卷Modern middle school pals Miaka and Yui stumble upon a mysterious book at the library that whisks them back in time to feudal China.

身處現代的中學生美珠和weight是一對好朋友，有一天，她們無意中在圖書館發現了一本魔法書，魔法書將他們帶回到古代中國。曾經是好友的美珠和唯變成了相互對抗的巫女，她們必須帶領各自的星士奪取國家政權。Fushigi Yugi is a classic example of 'harem manga', which features a heroine surrounded by an array of hunky hunks who (usually) want to be more than just friends. What sets Fushigi Yugi apart from the rest is its mix of epic romance and graphic life-and-death plot twists interspersed with moments of slapstick humor to keep it from getting way too heavy. It's a sprawling storythat can try your patience at times, but it's hard to deny that it's one of the best fantasy shojo stories ever written.
《不可思議的遊戲》堪稱後宮漫畫的經典之作，該類型的漫畫一般都講述了女主角身邊美男環繞，而且都對其有愛慕之心。《不可思議的遊戲》與衆不同的是它擁有古風言情和跌宕起伏的情節，並穿插着搞笑情節，從而使劇情不會太過沉重。該漫畫篇幅龐大，有時真是考驗你的耐心，但無可否認的是，它是最棒的奇幻少女漫畫之一。5

隨着時間過去，大崎娜娜實現了她的搖滾夢，大崎娜娜則找到了她的真愛，但這一切都讓她們付出了高昂的代價。她們的友誼能否經受住名譽與金錢帶給她們的成功與失敗呢？Nana is a beautifully-drawn series that is filled with heartfelt drama, big city glamor, fabulous fashion, rock and roll sassand many unexpected twists. It's the kind of shojo series that sucks you in and won't let you go, volume after volume.
《nana》畫風十分美型，情節真實感強，時尚感足，幷包含了搖滾術語和許多意想不到的轉折。它屬於那種一旦陷入就無法自拔的少女漫畫，讓你停不下來。6 ire Knight

Gorgeous artwork, loads of byzantine twists, and drop-dead hunky guys with more than a hint of sexual tension make this a favorite for readers who love romance with a dark side.
《吸血鬼騎士》將兩個經典的少女漫畫主題：校園戀情和哥特系/吸血鬼劇情結合了起來：。華麗的畫風、精彩的情節以及性感的美少年使這部漫畫成爲喜愛黑暗繫戀愛的讀者的最愛。7 hen Princess

出版商：Del Rey Manga / 講談社Volumes: 10
卷數：10卷Najika is a sweet and kind teen who loves to cook. Even though both of her parents died when she was young, and she has spent some of her childhood in an orphanage, Najika is always helpful, always cheerful. Both of her parents were pastry chefs, but the one event that truly awakened her love of cooking was when she met her 'flan prince,' a boy who saved her from falling into the river and gave her a delicious cup of flan custard with a silver spoon embossed with the logo of Seika Academy. So when Najika gets a scholarship to attend Seika Academy, she wonders if she'll be reunited with her prince. To her surprise, she meets two boys who just might be her prince: Sora and Daiichi.

A nice added touch: Najika also shares recipes with readers so they too can re-create some of her culinary magic at home.
《點心公主》的一開始的風格就如同七虹香在廚房裏做出的點心一樣甜美可口，但隨着故事的發展，戲劇性的情節、戀愛以及轉折使得讀者們愛不釋手。福利：七虹香也會與讀者們分享她的食譜，使他們也可以在家裏的廚房施展“魔法”。8 Captor Sakura
魔卡少女櫻Author/Artist: CLAMP
作者：CLAMPPublisher: Dark Horse
出版商：Dark HorseVolumes: 12 / DH Omnibus editions: 4
卷數：12卷/ DH Omnibus:4卷While poking through her father's library, Sakura Kinomoto finds a mysterious book. She discovers much too late that it is a magical book, made by a wizard, and that by opening the book, she has unleashed an array of mystical creatures upon the world. It's now up to Sakura to find these creatures and return them to the magical cards where they belong.
在爸爸的書房裏，木之本櫻發現了一本神祕的書。很久之後她才發現這是一本巫師創造出的魔法書，隨着這本書的打開，她解放出了許許多多的神祕生物。現在，小櫻要做的就是找到這些生物並將它們重新封印在相應的卡片中。Unlike CLAMP's other series like X or xxxHolic, Card Captor Sakura was created with younger readers in mind. Even so, CLAMP doesn't talk down to their readers and gives them an exciting, heartfelt adventure series that is considered one of the best 'magical girl' series ever P fans will find this to be a fascinating companion to Tsubasa: , which also features an older Sakura and Syaoran in very different adventures.
不同於CLAPM其他的作品，例如《X戰記》或《四月一日靈異事件簿》，《魔卡少女櫻》是專爲小讀者創作的。即使如此，CLAMP也並沒有走高冷的風格，而是給讀者帶來一段刺激、悸動的冒險系列作品，使小櫻也成爲有史以來最棒的“魔法少女”之一。CLAMP的粉絲們會發現，這部作品與《翼年代記》有着千絲萬縷的聯繫：後者講述了長大後的小櫻和小狼的另一段冒險。9
英國戀物語艾瑪Author & Artist: Kaoru Mori
森薰Publisher: CMX Manga
出版商：CMX MangaVolumes: 10
卷數：10卷Set in Victorian England, Emma is a historical manga centered around the intertwined lives of a maid and a wealthy aristocrat. The strict hierarchical rules of English society forbid their relationship, but they can't stop this star-crossed couple from falling in love.
該作品以英國維多利亞時代爲背景，講述了女僕和有錢貴族之間的種種故事。當時英國社會嚴苛的等級制度禁止兩人的結合，但也無法阻擋這對苦命鴛鴦的相愛。Meticulously-researched for historical accuracy, Mori sets the mood beautifully and tastefully. There are lovely wordless moments, stolen glances and subtle smiles that reveal her characters inner lives more effectively than any narration or dialogue ever could.
森薰對其歷史的準確性做了大量的研究，作品畫面精美典雅，並且出現了很多無聲的美好瞬間，例如偷偷一瞥、微微一笑，比起用言語描述，這些都能使得人物心理活動更加生動。CMX Manga closed their doors in mid-2010, which means that finding a complete set of Emma might be challenging -- but trust me, if you love Jane Austen, period romances, and just darn good manga, it's well worth the effort.
CMX漫畫公司在2010年年中停止了出版，這意味着收集到一整套的《英國戀物語艾瑪》會很困難。但是，相信我，如果你喜歡簡·奧斯汀、年代愛情或者只是想看看好的漫畫，這部作品絕對值得你一讀。

熱情花招Author/Artist: Miki Aihara
相原實貴Publisher: VIZ Media / VIZ Big
出版商：VIZ Media / VIZ BigVolumes: 12 (Shojo Beat editions) / 4 (VIZ Big omnibus editions)
卷數：12卷（Shojo Beat版）/4卷（VIZ Big omnibus版）Poor Hatsumi. After being caught buying a home pregnancy kit for her younger sister, she's forced into a master-slave relationship with Ryouki, the wealthy and arrogant son of her father's boss. In Hot Gimmick, creator Miki Aihara weaves a complex web of secret loves and deep grudges across two generations living in a corporate housing complex.
可憐的成田初，在被發現給妹妹買家用驗孕棒後，被迫與爸爸老闆的兒子，有錢卻又任性的亮輝建立了主僕關係。在《熱情花招》中，作者相原實貴住在公共住宅的兩代人之間有關暗戀和積怨的複雜的故事。Some readers may find the dysfunctional relationships in Hot Gimmick hard to stomach. Others might object to its somewhat saucy scenes. You might love it, you might hate it, but Hot Gimmick is pure shojo manga crack that you should read at least once to get why it's so influential and so controversial.
一些讀者可能覺得難以接受《熱情花招》中奇奇怪怪的人物關係。還有一些讀者可能會抗議漫畫中出現的火爆場面。你可能會愛上它，可能會討厭它，但是《熱情花招》是一部純粹的少女漫畫，你至少應該讀一次才能知道，爲什麼它是如此有影響力和充滿爭議。
