I started with the German releases of Wallflower, but lost track a couple volumes in (mostly because my standard mode of operation is "flat out broke"), and I liked it a lot. Quick investigation shows a good load of chapters online, maybe I should make catching up with *that* my next project *g*
Reinou was *incredibly* annoying to me, and Sho's face heel turn didn't do much for me, but I like the current storyline well enough... of course I haven't followed a shoujo manga "live" for years, only ever shounen, so the projected one month wait makes me facepalm.
Basara I've read about half of in French, but again - got lost with the releases. I know it's also published in German, but I've heard the quality isn't exactly genius, so I'm reluctant to switch over to that release. W Juliet (as well as, for example, Fruits Basket) I used to follow in a monthly manga magazine here, but I never bothered to switch over to bound volumes when I dropped that magazine, so...
Dito KareKano, now that I think about it.
Yazawa's titles always take me a volume or two (or longer, in case of Nana) to get into them, but I've never regretted investing that time. I'm guessing Yazawa just isn't for everyone, since her drawing style and storytelling aren't exactly easy to digest. The flashforward cockteasing in Nana makes me want to cry sometimes :/
