Manga you regret buying?

Ouran high school volume 11 was pretty shit since all it seemed to follow was a sports day.

I would have to say almost all of the manga i've bought, since I no longer want them and am selling them, only keeping the ones i like best.
But here's some Shojo titles i picked up and truly regret:
Kare First Love - the bit about her best friend bullying her seemed realistic enough, but her love interest bored me, when she was depressed i was happy and when things got sappy i got depressed.
And Hot Gimmick - weird plot line, too much attempted rape. 'nuff said.

Uncreativity

MPD Psycho. It has the same author as Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service (which is one of my favorite mangas ever), but it's not my cup of tea. There's slightly too much gore (I like gore and all, but come on), far too many naked chicks, and way way WAY too many naked chicks being gored.

The plot's actually kind of interesting, though. Maybe I'll watch the live-action TV series, since they must have had to censor it down some.

Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle

God, this got boring so quick (around vol. 4), but i persisted until vol. 13, because not only did the noodley art interest me, but i was also hoping that the spark that made me interested in the series would light up again...but it didn't. It just degraded into a multi-universe pandering nightmare. Plus I didn't like the fact that Sakura was so damn useless. I know it was a different Sakura, but come on...

^ Usually I get the next volume of a series as soon as I can but I've stopped with Tsubasa. I will finish it eventually just for completeness reasons but I haven't even read the past three volumes I've picked up. I've completely lost interest and that usually doesn't happen with Clamp.
