Manga Recommendations

[Orihime]

If you have any manga recommendations, share them in this thread. Thank you.

[Vaelen]

Definitley Yakitate Japan! Seriously underrated manga, don't think it's bad because it's about baking, it's one of the best I've read.

Also Hajime no Ippo, about boxing.. Great manga, it's been translated up to volume 39 so it should last just a little while.. :P

Oh, and both of these can be found at SnoopyCool's site.. ;-)

[Orihime]

Ahh, can I get someone to include the Genre's, scanlator if possible, so it will be more organized? Thanks

[otakufan]

I really enjoyed Angel Sanctuary, but it's definately not for everyone.

[DragonSlayer]

I haven't personally read this one too much yet but I heard it's really great.

Berserk manga. I think that it's at least worth of a shot. :)

[Vaelen]

Yes Berserk is really great.. Action/Fantasy -isch.. :P Is done by the Hawks..
(just complimenting your post with more info... :P)

[BartXP]

I just started with Open Sesame.. Not like the best manga ever, but it's fun to read :)

Ranma ½ (www.viz.com :p) (yeah, buy it)

Addicted To Curry (www.yanime.com)

GANTZ (www.omanga.net , www.blacksphereintheroom.com)

Midori no Hibi (www.snoopycool.com)

[Kagehisa]

Blade of the Immortal
Samurai action.
None that I know of.

Story of Manji, a Samurai cursed with immortality. Can't say anymore without spoiling the story. If you're looking for awesome artwork (almost photo-like when Samura wants to) and swordfights, do yourself a favor.

[B3H]

Cant forget about ckmoney

For more Information View This Topic (http://s3.invisionfree.com/Ck_Money_Boards/index.php?showtopic=171)

A pretty good source If your having trouble finding some Liscnesed Mangas

[Hoshiko]

Battle Angel Alita was pretty awesome. It has my thumbs up.

[eternally]

My favorite manga is Full Moon wo Sagashite. Selene Scans just recently finished subbing the whole series...Yeah that's where my avatar came from. ^^ It's shoujo, so it's mostly a romance series. I'm not usually into that lovey-dovey stuff but this manga I really like because it's about chasing your dreams and...it's so sad! The drawings are top-notch and there's humor too. I really recommend it unless you're a guy who hates shoujo...oO

[black cat]

Hm... Black Cat is good. It's kind of a cross between Cowboy Bebop and Trigun. Its about bounty hunters and such. Great action scenes. Mahou Sensei Negima is good too. Its by the same mangaka as Love Hina. Some of the characters are similar too. And again, Yakitate Japan! is awesome. Lots of hilarious moments. :)

[Wave]

Aishiteruze Baby if you like drama :)

best manga i've read so far besides Bleach and Naruto

[miteigi]

20th Century Boys
Genre: Science fiction, suspense
Synopsis and Download Here (http://mangascreener.com/project.php?id=8)

Yotsubato
Genre: Comedy
Download here (http://home.nc.rr.com/momotato/yotsubato.html)

[Skye]

I haven't read much latley but here are a few:

One Piece (Action, Humor, Adventure) I give this a 9.7/10
Pretty Face (Romance, Comedy) 9/10. I think this is better than Love Hina and most other manga of that sort.
Hunter X Hunter (Action, Adventure, etc) Around a 9/10

Hmm, I'll think of more later.

[Raikoh`]

I really enjoyed Angel Sanctuary, but it's definately not for everyone.

I'm totaly in agree

[fatman63]

Some manga that is funny is Azumanga Daioh- Hilarious manga about a bunch of girls in high school. The manga that I'm reading right now is Flame of Recca and it is a pretty good action manga about ninjas.

[Sorako]

I'll definitely recommend "Monster" by Naoki Urasawa. It's about a young doctor called Tenma who saves the life of a little boy... not knowing that he helped a terrible demon to survive (not a demon in the sense of fantasy, but a demon in the sense of "really bad human" ;-)). Tenma is soon framed for the murders that Johan, the boy, is responsible for, and he then starts to travel around to search Johan and kill him while trying to escape from a neurotical police detective who is obsessed with catching him.

It's a little cliché-ridden at times (especially the way they present germany XD), but definitely a breathtaking thriller.

[pajamas]

FMA and Gantz www.endless-anime.com

[raphous]

I would definately recommand :

- One Piece
- Monster
- Bleach

These are my favorites at the moment.

Then, depending on your tastes, you may like GTO and Bremen.

[hakufan12]

as many people have said before one piece and hunter x hunter are both good action adventure mangas and pretty face is a good romance one and prince of tennis and eyeshield21 are both good sports manga

[mary no jutsu]

lets see if your into shojo manga then its all about hot gimmick probably one of the most addictive mangas ever known to mankind even my guy friends like it. well anything by yu watase and azumanga daioh

[Saucyninja]

Bleach (Refer to Tazmo's post)
One Piece (Null)
Eyeshield 21 (Toriyama's World)

These are currently my favorites. I'm also thinking of getting into Deathnote, since everyone who reads it says it's good.

[DXFC]

midori no hibi is a good manga to read ^_^ (snoopycool)

[Nakor]

i really like alice 19th. its about a girl who finds out she is a lotus master. which means, she then can say things and they will actually happen. she sends her sister into another world by accident using the lotus words and now has to go into this world to bring her back.

sorry if my description isn't very good.

i also really like bleach and it seems everyone else does too.

[TheVillian]

Most of the mangas I read have already been meantioned excluding 666Satan by Masashi Kishimoto brother but I wouldn't recommend it because of TW not translating it past chapter 9.

[Sitex]

im stupid, and where can i get bleach manga? Dont have IRC thingy which-a-ma-call it?!

[Sitex]

I think One piece, Bleach are the best!

[DCit]

Great Teacher Onizuka - the life of a 'gangster'-turned teacher. It's really filled with fun and laughter at all corners.

Hunter x Hunter - As the others have mentioned, great story and characters

Hikaru no Go - It's a story about a boy and the spirit of a master Go player. Although you may have never heard of Go before(like me), I don't know why but I was hooked onto the manga.

[amithee]

20th Century Boys
Genre: Science fiction, suspense
Synopsis and Download Here (http://mangascreener.com/project.php?id=8)


i gotta second miteigi and say that 20th century boys is absolutely awesome-i can't quite explain the plot in a nutshell, but just read it, it's definitely worth it!

also for shoujo manga readers, parfait tic! (scanslated by mangaproject (http://www.mangaprojects.com)) is great if you like love triangles. and basara (http://www.slumpy.net/basara/manga/main.html), i love basara (http://store.viz.com/browse/BASARA/GRNOV/s.D6YNUfp4)!

[Lizbet]

Agreeing with everyone else about angel sanctuary: it's awesome! But licensed so you've gotta buy it (and it's worth it IMO). Plus everything else by that artist (Kaori Yuki); they tend to be weird but so pretty! and Yami no Matsui... (both of those were being scanned by Sakura Crisis: www.sakura-crisis.net but are stopped b/c of licensing: go check out the site anyhow!)

[GeniusShikamaru]

Wow alot of manga seem to be good but all we can base it on are peoples word. Hows about some DESCRIPTIONS!

Anyways...
I recomend Vagabond. Its about the life story of Musashi Miyamoto. He was a real samurai from the 1500's of Japan. His has everything love, comedy, and action. The Fighting scenes are the best I have ever seen in manga. Realistic and cool. His childhood friend becomes his mortal rival and both love the same girl. This is heavy on action and philosophy. It is not that funny and is not that much into the love thing. Those things are like subplots.
I bought it. its released by VIZ. Its about $10 and there are 14 volumes out so far. I think theres and irc for it but I don't use that stuff. Don't be cheap and go BUY IT.

[Hyugga_Hinata]

You should try One Piece,it's funny,and has action too.

[EndlessRain]

Some of my recommendations since they are so much good manga out there!:
Ragnarok
Deathnote
Getbackers
>.< Ack! I cant think....

[mow]

ohh:) my fav topic

i recommend the following

1)Monster
2)20 th century boys
3) Gantz ( a bit of sex and blood is a good thing)
4)Berserk (more sex and blood is even better)
5)Yakitate!!Japan
6)death note
7)Hajime no IPpo

[Lunatic]

I dont have links but read BLEACH BLEACH BLEACH! Man tazmo hooked me up with some volumes and now i love it lol. the story is said to get very very good.

[Jack Bauer]

i recommend:

Shaman King
Naruto *XD*
One Piece
DragonBall Z
Gundam
Rave Master
and Rorouni Kenshin

[skunkworks]

Blade of the Immortal (best manga ever)
Berserk
GTO
Bleach
Hellsing
Blame!

[Code]

Slam Dunk - This manga is one of the BEST manga out there IMO. It's about basketball but you really don't have to like Basketball to like this. It's got a great cast of charcters and it's damn funny. An extremely tense and dramatic moment can become very funny in an instant. You can get all 31 Volumes from http://www.unc.edu/~achao/sdmanga.html
. And those of you who watched the anime, the manga covers the Inter-High tournament and also episode 95+ were filler I think.

Dragonball - This is my favorite manga. I'm talking about the first 20 or so volumes. The latter part is consider 'Z' but the Japanese manga doesn't really make a distinction. This is a really funny series, and the action is great. Very unpredictable and original. The fights are reallky tense and they aren't that long(1 chapter = 1 episode on the better episodes...). The fights are very unpreditctable in this manga, some of them like the Jiggler-fight is like One Piece fights, you're wondering how they will beat this person and the main character has to come up with strategy. Others you just don't know hwo ti will end mainly the tenkaichi budokai matches. It's a really great Advnture/Manga I recommend you read it. Regardless of what you think of the Dub or even Subbed Anime.

One Piece - This is just like my description of Dragonball above. It's a very nice adventure/comedy. Great fights. Though it's a bit more predictable in the battles the outcome of certian events are very exciting to see. This is also really funny. It's currently the most popular manga in Japan and other asian countries right now and rightfully so. It's still running after 7 years and is currently in 338 chapters(It runs in the same magazie as Naruto so it's weekly).

Blade of the Imortal - Great series. Hmm not sure what I can say about ti but I really reccommend this one.

Yakitate - Very funny and i'm sure a lot has been said about this...

[theoneandonly]

Gantz and Detective Conan

[DeathWolf]

Definitley Yakitate Japan! Seriously underrated manga, don't think it's bad because it's about baking, it's one of the best I've read.

[Purple Pill]

Death Note is AWESOME. *_* I wound up downloading all thirty-nine (or is it forty now?) translated chapters within an hour and a half, and I was hooked!

I'd also recommend Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle but I won't in fear that a.) I'll get laughed at and b.) my Kurogane-fangirlism will erupt all over the board. XD

[descrode]

Hmm.... well i love all manga, but here are a few of my favorites. I cant really say which of these is better since they are all so different.

Blade of the Immortal ( Samurai Action & Gore )
PlanetEs ( Astronaut Space & Adventure )
Akira ( Biker Punks Adventure, Mystery Action) way better than the anime
Sand Land ( Demon Adventure & Mystery) Great short
Bleach ( Shaman Adventure & Action )
One Piece ( Pirates All Genre ) Great for someone who want allot to read
Naruto ( If you dont know what this is about you shouldnt be here )

and many more

[cg5td]

Can someone recommend a manga for me? I want one that is like Naruto and Hikaru no Go where it chronicles the main character's growth ( Like naruto's growth as a ninja and Hikaru's growth as a Go player). I would prefer one that is also about fighting like Naruto rather than Hikaru no Go but either kind is fine. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

[seta101]

Read Dragonball, the original, not Z. They cover Goku from infancy to young adulthood. And fighting? There's nothing but fighting.
On a completely unrelated note, READ LOVE HINA!

[murasex]

I recommend Imadoki by Yu Watase (i think that's how you spell her name). It's a highschool and a cute book. I especially recommend it to anyone who likes seeing love grow upon two people that didn't really like eachother in the beginning.

[Zhongda]

i dont know if are talking about comics or episodes... but if you want episodes i recomend:
1-Fighting spirit (IPPO)
2-full metal PANIC
3-gundamSeed
4-KYO
and
5-Ultimate muscle (realy silly but good in a weid sorta way)

[Zhongda]

Well if you want one about growth i can Definetly recomend GunGrave. but the animation isnt as cute as narutos its more like StreetFighter but iam sure youll like it. Berserk is great, but the charecters almost reach their prime in the begining... but still a great Anime. The last which is one of my favorites not because of the story line but because of the colorfull charecters is Samurai deeper KYO. <== graphics are almost like GTOs...
these are three of the best, iam sure youll find them interesting

[kevin77]

Gantz is an amazing manga. It's beautifully drawn. Not for kids.
Bersek has a really good story and compelling characters. Not for kids.

[Last of the Uchihas]

Does anyone knows where i can find a site with the tengou tenge manga. Thanks.

[mstarsup5]

Naruto(of course!)
Love Hina
Hikaru No Go
Chobits
Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle
Psychic Academy

[knives265]

Where should I begin, Hellsing, Evangelion, One Piece, Rurouni Kenshin, ect. Their all good.

[DeathWolf]

yakitate japan ,bleach ,NARUTO, One Piece, inuyasha(i heard they hav the manga)....thats all i think...

[Hei25]

Bleach
Naruto
Desert Core

[Mithrandil]

Hellsing
Naruto
Chobits
DB - a bit more uncencored than the anime
Ragnarok - hard to find, but awsome korean manwha
Louie the Rune Soldier - halarious (spelling)
Cardcaptor Sakura - bit more childish, but well made from CLAMP

[Tokusie]

DN angel is and awsome manga ^.^

[DiemondDagger]

I can't believe that no one on this page has mentioned the best Manga I've ever read.

Get Backers This beats Naruto in my mind. Now I love Naruto, extremely. But I actually went and purchased this manga. I feel unright NOT purchasing it, because I deeply want to help this manga continue to pour into North America. Seriously. All of you. Get it, read it, find it, just obtain this Manga. They story is amazing and the characters kick ass.

[paueu]

ichigo 100%

[NekkiBasara]

id recommend that you dont read manga and go out and read some other form of entertainment....give some explanation of what your interested into reading....manga has a vast amount of selections....if you must convince yourself to read some form of manga....go read naruto....or one piece....

be carful, u get so friggin fast addicted... (pm, for links bout how to get it.)

[Keele]

i'd reccomend neon genesis evangelion a simply superb anime and yes it takes a bit of knowledge to fully understand it and is my all time fav

[Confucius345]

Rave Master is deffenetly up there, KIng of HELL!!

[Inactive sage]

Samurai Deeper Kyo is great. Its not for everyone though. One Piece to!

[fuwafuwa]

GTO (great ^_^), Azumanga Daioh (funny), and Ultra Maniac (cute shoujo stuff)

[royal_ken]

I'd say
1. Vagabond - Classic, story of our famous rounin, Miyamoto Musashi :-D
2. One Piece - Jokes are really funny, the story can keep on going forever with this pirate story but you can't get tired of it
3. Power! - It's a minor shoujo manga, but really hilarious (a girl joining a boy's basketball team dressed up like a guy)
4. Black Cat - A cute cocky guy with a bored officer and a little girl. Goes around hunting for wanted criminals well, for money hehe
5. Sharman King - people with the power to summon ghosts of different forms to fight
6. Tenshi nanka janai - a typical shoujo manga, but the story's just toooo good
7. Dragonhead - has become a movie last summer. "End of the world" sort of story. Can really see the despair :-S but you can't stop reading once you start.

[Hitomi_No_Ryu]

Here's one you might like. It's called 'God Child'. It about the young detective (whose a product of his father and sister.) solving crimes and whatnot. It's very bloody, very creepy, and very scary. Might need a strong stomach in some of the cases. Simliar art style to 'Angel Sanctuary'. Not sure if it's licenced yet but if come by it give it a look see.

[kyubinaruto75]

i liked rebound. b-ball manga classified as drama. really slowmoving but... teh art is great. yuriko nishiyama. and then theres kindaichi files. and azumanga daioh. the anime was sorta a let down. tuxedo gin too. somewat random but hilaroiusly funny

[Itachi_like_to_kill]

1.Rurouni Kenshin
2.Jigoku Sensei Nube
3.Samurai Deeper Kyo
4.Get Backers
5.Fantasista
6.Caryon Shinchan
7.Rave
8.Naruto
9.GTO
10.Detective Academy Q

[Coconut]

Hey, i recommend:
- Slam Dunk: Great comedy and sport manga, it's a classic. Complete
- Bleach: Funny. Incomplete
- Prettyface
- Yuyu Hakusho
- Ranma 1/2

BLEACH - You can download bleach at directmanga.com but they don't use bittorent just directly download

[pakku]

I didn't see all that many suggestions for Shaman King (although, Id di just skim through), yet plenty of the other good JUMP comics were recommended repeatedly so I might as well give SK its shout-out.

Title: Shaman King
Author: Hiroyuki Takei
Genre: Usual shounen. I believe Bleach used a lot of ideas from SK, so there's a comparison everybody can identify with.
Download: DirectManga (http://www.directmanga.com) has pretty much all of what has been translated. I've noticed a few random problems, though (chapter 17 doesn't work, chapter 84 seems to be missing about half a dozen pages, etc.) (I must add, I really recommend donating if you can... it's a lovely site).

As I mentioned, reminds me a lot of Bleach with a bit of Hunter x Hunter thrown in. I'm fairly sure it recently finished in Japan, but it looks like there's a lot of scanlating to do before we catch up.

Correct me if I'm wrong, though. I'm a new fan to the series, so...

[darklide]

Chrno crusade
DNAngel
Bleach
Getbackers
Tsubasa

[bandwagon_narutofan]

[LPNaruto]

Angel Santuactury
Vampire Game
Samurai Deeper Kyo
Love Hina
Snow drop
F.A.K.E

These are great books besides FAKE little things going on.

[chamelean75]

If you HAVEN'T read

Death Note

by now, I have nothing to say to you.

[Takao]

hmm i wld recommend alice 19th and fushigi yuugi... they are based on fantasy related themes and are very well drawn (hooray to yuu watase sensei) even tho fushigi yuugi is a veri old manga, i wld still recommend it to everyone gd for a re-read too... very interesting storyline.. the first manga tt i was hooked to.. :P

[mrberns]

Its been said a couple of times allready but, if you like samurai action, and haven't watched the absolutelly horrible HORIBLE anime, then read SAMURAI DEEPR KYO. I absolutelly love it. Also if you havent checked it out, a fun manga is Parasite, if youre feelin the retro stuff.

[Orikusu]

id say Wolfs rain is a good manga

[Narutofan18]

Full Metal Panic and Excel Saga

[Literally Exaggerated]

Video Girl Ai. One of the greatest shounen romance mangas ever made.

[less]

Whoa...
Six pages of recommandations and only one has mentioned "Akira"? Is this because it's assumed that everyone has allready read it or what? It's the Citizen Kane of manga. It's got a plot that rivals the bible, for crying out loud! Fantastic urban-scenic artwork, really weird psychic powers, a romantic subplot that will really break your heart and the best bad guy ever in any medium. Period.

[mow]

20th CENTURY BOYS!!!

[Takray]

DN Angel!!!

[KoumaKyuuKetsuki]

There are alot of manga's out there and I like alot of them but, one that I would recommend is D.N.Angel!!! Not everybody will like it but I do.The anime is alright but, definitly not as good as the manga.

[Hagi]

i don't no if anyone has already asked but wat would u recommend for a noob(me)?

[Sol 3dge]

Beserk's pretty cool... and bloody!!!

[addikt]

1) Blade of the Immortal -- I read 90+ chapters in a row and ... I read the whole thing again ... and then again ... it's INCREDIBLE..... the art, the story, the dialogue -- everything seems so real and yet not :) basically, it feels like watching a movie over 90+ chapters... drawings are well.. you gotta see them to believe how good they are ! The characters will leave an impression in your head -- you can feel Manji's pain, Rin's revenge, Shira's well... he's just too damn crazy ... anyway, you can't go wrong with this one :)


2)Berserk -- definately rated R .. but very well done... demons, faeries, hell, blood, friendship, deceit, revenge, ... it's a really complex and fun manga to read ... beware though, there is a LOT of nudity (rape/sex scenes) and blood so children stay away ... the story has gotten sort of crappy now after like i dunno 10+ years .. but it is still good to keep you hooked for a long time...

3) Naruto -- don't need to explain this

4)Rurouni Kenshin -- read it quite a few times before getting bored of it ... probably cuz I have watched the entire anime, ovas dunno know how many times ... it's very nice .. and for those of you who have watched only Kenshin anime, well .. you don't know about the Enishi saga .. which is the best in the manga so you gotta read it if you liked the anime.

5)Hellsing -- can't decide about this one .. gets incredibly good at times .. and incredibly bad at others ... worth a try I guess.

[Gunshin]

Berserk

Great Teacher Onizuka ( GTO )

It's VERY funny. For me, it's one of the best manga in the world.

GTO is a shounen manga series by Fujisawa Tooru, by Kodansha Comics. It’s about a man named Onizuka Eikichi (22) who doesn't really have much prospects until one day he decides to be a teacher. The head of an academy is interested in his "methods" and lets him teach (much to the principal's...pain...>: )= Onizuka isn't much of a teacher as far as school subjects go, but he is a VERY good teacher in "life". Each story in the manga basically deals with him straightening out his students...but with not your typical methods...how many teachers do YOU know of who cosplay as an elephant (with the trunk you-know-where ^_- ) while they teach class?? This is a hilarious, and sometimes even...heartwarming...anime/manga series (you've gotta love Onizuka...no matter how stupid he is ^_^ )

[Hatake_Kakashi1986]

SlamDunk (i think you know that already :smile-big )

[EatingBrains]

Mmm...I just got some new manga, and I would have to suggest to pick up Happy Hustle High, or Eerie Queerie. I know that by now everyone has probably anounced the more popular ones, so if you like and all girl school and an all boys school combining and the chaos that ensues, or a boy who cannot help but have ghost take over his body and seduce his class mates, these are the manga for you.

[triggerc]

I would like to suggest Yuuto! it is by the creator (story) of hikaru no go, hopefully it is turning fast into hikaru no speed skate! so read it!!! Oh yeah, Neuros and D.Gray-man are awesome too.

[JaniX]

I'd just say, why read manga on the computer? It destroys you eyes :I Ate least it hurts mine-.-

Why no one reads D.N.Angel? They have nice drawings, and the storyline's pretty good, just that there's too much romance.

Saiyuki is nice...as well as D.N.Angel, g00d stuff, definitely recommend them.

Amazing that someone else found Mitsuru Adachi's manga. I've gotten so used to his style of drawing that i barely can read other more "normal" styles.

Try H2 and katsu, baseball and boxing manga's, Rough is also ok but i prefer H2 since it was my first Mitsuru Adachi manga. You'll have a bit of hard time adapting to H2 since the story is very much like Touch. But you should try it.

I started blade of the immortal and berseck .




Pretty common Manga I guess.
Im pretty picky when it comes to the art and the Characters buildup, I realy dislike One piece, Manga with games, or posseses games or throwable games, Sport manga and music manga. ( I love sport , but I prefer playing them then reading them.)

I tried Battle royale and eternal sabbath, I thought they were so-so.
I dont mind gore and nudite, It does add to it sometimes ahah.


What do you guys suggest in thoses genre?

[Ssj3_Goku]

Where can i get Mai himi Mana? past chapter 39 Please help!!! Send a PM or contact me on AIM something PLEASE!

[Shino's a Bad Man]

what kind of manga are u interested in? like only naruto stuff or what? cause i could make a few suggests.

[TenshiOni]

If you love Naruto, you must read Bleach. :nod:

[Naruto-1]

flame of recca is the type for those who like fantasy, little bit of romance, comedy and action/fighting

i recomend it rating 9/10

[Zeff]

One Piece is a very good manga, nice story and cool characters

[Sol]

I recommend Saiyuki and Saiyuki reload for reading. The story is based on the chinese novel Journey to the west, and the most characters hold the same name as the characters in the novel. However, the plot and character of characters are nothing like the novel. The story is cool and the chracters are likeable. The manga is available at www.directmanga.com. (The story does have a bit of nudity and gore though.)

And deathnote. Its highly recommended for those who enjoy mystery. Deathnote is quite talked about here, so I suppose many would have heard of it. The author must be quite a genius.

[addikt]

I am hooked on Dangu ... it's like a drug ... there are only 7 chapters that have been translated, but man do they ever kick ass ... it's awesome! you can give it a shot at http://www.voiea.net/Dangu

it's not a japanese manga, rather a korean manwha (hope I spelt it right) .. anyway, the point is it kicks ass .. see for yourself. The art is really cool and unique so it'll take you a few secs to get used to it :) but it's worth it with all the fighting, trash talking and cocky poses...

[Pal_dekoderis]

Bremen its about a rock band named Bremen and they get in too a lot of trouble and trouble i mean fights compared to beck its very violent and its more filosofic the charicters offten speak abaout freedom and the meaning of "ROCK". This manga is more about those things then about music. But it rocks. Its funny too.

[HyugaHinata]

I recommend Love for Venus - that's a very nice romance. Also, Kare Kano is good, and I've enjoyed what I've seen of Fruits Basket so far.

[Ssj3_Goku]

I think some people who liked inuyasha should read the manga just to see how it ends.. It s still going now but should end soon.. at least i hope lol.. its up to 412 chapters!

Mai himi and chrono crusdae are allso good manga's to read. o and bleach!!!!!!!!

[spinstate]

Lone Wolf & Cub
Vagabond
& Blade of the Immortal are THE best samurai manga out there!!! Read them!!!! :sgan

[Hagi]

bleach, hellsing, beck and king of hell if you get a chance. :occa

[Lainchan]

I'd recomend bleach for any Naruto fans. Its my fav manga^.^
I'd also recomnd
Ranma 1/2- its long but really funny
Kenshin-romance, action, comedy.... what more do you need?

[ResoluteOne]

Battle Angel Alita, Rurouni Kenshin, One Piece, Bleach.

[dmby]

Love Hina, Bleach, Elfen Lied, Samurai Champloo.

[ninjutsumaster101]

:amuse yeah, ummm...dragonballz, hikaro no go, obviously naruto, lone wolf, case closed and bleach... :smile-big legendz is dumb, though :oh

Ichigo 100%

[pek]

Ares is a pretty good manhwa, the art isnt the best but the story and the characters are pretty good IMO.

Chronos year 237, Ares, a vagrant soldier, wants to become a tample mercenary (because they offer food and shelter).
On his way he meets Michael and Baroona who are also becoming tample mercanerys and so their adventure starts.

Change Guy is also a manhwa i can recommend, its a street fighting / martial arts manhwa.

Review: http://www.manga.baka-updates.com/reviews.html?id=53

[endgame]

If you haven't started already, read Bleach like everyone else is. :D

I also recommend Death Note, FMA manga and D.Gray-Man.

[Evol]

I think some people who liked inuyasha should read the manga just to see how it ends.. It s still going now but should end soon.. at least i hope lol.. its up to 412 chapters!

Mai himi and chrono crusdae are allso good manga's to read. o and bleach!!!!!!!!

where are you getting scanlations for it from? I have up to 396, but Null doesn't have past that, and directmanga isn't even that far.

[GodofDeath]

any good romance/comedy manga like chobits?

[pek]

GodofDeath: Isnt Ichigo 100% romance / Comedy? Pastel is pretty good otherwise.

People, you might want to give H2 a chance. Its a baseball manga by Mirsuru Adachi (one of my top 3 mangakas) . At least try reading some volumes at readmanga.com (http://www.readmanga.com/view.php?currtitle=2), its a online manga site.

H2
Mangaka: Mitsuru Adachi
Serialized in: Shonen Sunday [Shogakukan]
Length: 34 volumes
Project Status: Active
Status in Japan: Finished
Packaged Bittorrents: Volumes 1-20 - Volume 21
Last Update: 2005-06-28 19:38:00

While Touch will certainly go down in history as Mitsuru Adachi's penultimate classic, there are a certain number of people who consider his later (and longest) work H2 to be superior. While it doesn't have the tragic twist that made Touch so moving, Adachi's skill and wit have sharpened considerably since the early 80s. H2 has the benefit of excellent characters, some of Adachi's best-defined, and a fine-honed edge of unpredictability that will always keep you guessing.

Nutshell Summary: H2 follows the lives of two baseball players and their love interests (all with the initial H) through their three years of high school. Will Hiro and Hideo manage to keep their friendship even through competition on the baseball diamond?

[Kucheeky Badkuya]

GodofDeath: Isnt Ichigo 100% romance / Comedy? Pastel is pretty good otherwise.

People, you might want to give H2 a chance. Its a baseball manga by Mirsuru Adachi (one of my top 3 mangakas) . At least try reading some volumes at readmanga.com (http://www.readmanga.com/view.php?currtitle=2), its a online manga site.

Ah, H2. I have heard of that before but, I haven't full read any of the manga, how does it compare to other sports mangas?

[pek]

Have you read any of Adachi's mangas? (Touch, Miyuki, Rough, Katsu etc)

While many sportmangas only focus on the sport, this manga focus on the characters daily life , School, training, matches, love, family. I'd say its a a tad romantic with a lot of comedy in it. The lineart does scare many people but when you get used to Adachi's style you need to for a rehab. I got totally in love with his style after this manga.

This is a manga where people do have really different opinions about. I love this manga, while my friend thinks this is one of the worst sportmangas.

[Kucheeky Badkuya]

Have you read any of Adachi's mangas? (Touch, Miyuki, Rough, Katsu etc)

I saw a friend of mine, reading some stuff about it.

When i read that post, i thought; Hm, that may be true. I must have had overreacted about it. So i decided to re-read it. I started yesterday and finished it today and i have just one thing to say:

"One of the best manga's that've been created AND will be created"

The game betwen Shohoku and Sannou that reaches for around 4 volumes is so freaking amazing, emotinal and you cant stop reading once you've got to that part. The ending is a bit sad and i would do anything to have a follow up on this story. Fan-fic or w/e just something that can calm down my mind.

I know, I have seen the anime but I was wondering about the manga.

[imchemist]

My favorites besides Naruto are:

Noir
Bleach
Loveless

[Sol]

Try Hikaru no Go. It may look like some really boring manga series but its actually good, even if you are an absolute n00b at Go.

[RugaRell]

Hunter X Hunter im sure was said a few times. but i really recommend it

[Kucheeky Badkuya]

My favorites besides Naruto are:

Noir
Bleach
Loveless

RahXephon
Saiyuki
DN Angel

[Jones]

Mystery:

Deathnote-A very interesting manga about a mass-murderer and the person who is trying to find him. Very wordy but still a very good manga.

[XxGreat Hokage NarutoxX]

tooo be honest pick up some dragonball z manga becasue there are alot of things that most fans who watch just the anime have missed, and besides its the old school flavor but its new to u reading it.......

also a good fantasy book is beet the vandel buster...kinda reminds me of a old fantasy game ppl would play like zelda or something

[izzy]

I am curious, are there any manga's out there that are about stoners or slackers?:S

Usually that kind of comedy relieves me of my own stresses of school/work/broken leg/music.

:oh

[Bronwen]

Please tell me,Where can i see Naruto's Movies?

Wrong section bud! I'm sure some people are willing to guide you if you ask in the right place!

Anyways Bronwen's Recommendations

::takes a deep breath::

D.Gray-Man! D.Gray-Man! D.Gray-Man! D.Gray-Man! D.Gray-Man! D.Gray-Man! D.Gray-Man! D.Gray-Man! D.Gray-Man!

You can all find manga scans of it in the fanclub - link located in my sig and once you're done doing this --->>> :amazed :shoked join my fanclub and let us all love the beauty that is D.Gray-Man.

For shoujo manga fans I recommend:
Nana
Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles (I assure you, the manga is loads better than the anime IMO, pity the manga doesn't come with the music...)
xxxHolic
Shinshi Doumei Cross (For Full Moon wo Sagashite fans, this manga is for you)
Global Garden

For shounen-ai/yaoi fans:
Gohou Drug or Legal Drug but...but...:crying it stops at volume 3, I want to see what happens next!!!
Loveless - if you've seen the anime...wow...just wow...

I've got more, but I have a very open mind and well, and what I like varies a lot but these are probably the generic ever so popular ones I recommend.

[Hokai92]

I need some recomendations too. I am new to the whole manga thing. Right now i am reading Naruto and Inuyasha9 please don't tell me bleach, or any other majorly popular ones.)

[Kucheeky Badkuya]

Manga Name: Harukana Machi-E
Author: Jiro Taniguchi
Length: 2 Volumes (Complete)
Scanlated by: Manga-Sketchbook

Summary(take from Manga-sketchbook site):
On his way back from a business trip, the protagonist decides on a whim to take a train back to his old hometown. The moment he pays respects to his mother's grave in the transformed town, he is transported back to a summer when he was still in junior high school, only with all his middle-age consciousness, knowledge and abilities intact.

On this journey across time, he understands for the first time the burdens born by his father, and his mother's tears. This is the kind of fantasy manga were made for, executed by an artist of great talent. This is a serious, delicate, and ultimately moving time travel variation.

All I have to say about this manga is
DEFINETLY MUST READ!!!

[Hiddenpaw]

Fushgi Yuugi best manga and anime sub or dubbed and ghost in the shell as well.

Plus, if you don't have insecurities with your masculinity their always Sailor Moon.

[Naruto_Shoujo]

Gunslinger Girl

[Limitles Shadow]

Has anyone hear of Eat-man?
I've read the first 17 volumes and I'm eagerly awaiting the translations of the 18/19th volumes ( final volumes )

One of my favorite mangas, the protagonist is ....

(a name is just a name.. who is the man behind the name is what counts - the manga can be taken as an exploration in identity)

well, that's quite the mystery ;)

It will supposedly be answered in volumes 18/19.

Air gear and GANTZ owns the crown! (maybe death note, but it gets stupid)

air gear is extremely funny, it has the perfect style and graphics and you cannot deny it. it is rated 16+ just like GANTZ but I'm sure its nothing you've never seen. However... it would be wounderful if new chaps comes out faster.

[ramenluver]

Kimigakure Orange Road <-- one of the oldest Shojos.. about a guy 2 girls sort of deal.. if u like that kinda thing

If you love to eat or cook I would recommend Iron Wok Jan. If you've ever seen iron chef, it's just like that except for in manga form. They cook eveything from scratch and maybe somethings may gross you out, but it still looks good.

[Lucifer]

that's my favorite is Majin -Devil- (魔人～ＤＥＶＩＬ～)
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/images/encyc/A3496-8.thumbnail.90.jpg
YOU'LL NEED TO MUST READ THAT MANGA
it's very good horror manga... volume 2 for ended... awesome!!!
this story & art by Oh! Great other author works Tenjho Tenge is famous manga.

be carefully, it's mature only 18+...

[olaf]

Level E
3 volumes
jinmen.pyoko.org
made by the guy who made HxH. It's bout aliens and stuff like that, and it's funny, but it also has deeper meaning (if U read it carefuly)

Skyhigh
2 volumes
omanga.net
It's bout death, and related stuff. It could be called a drama, so immature children shouldn't read it.
U should also read other mangas made by the guy who did Skyhigh: Alive, Jiraishin, Blue Heaven and Skyhigh Karma. They're all great and not for children.

River's Edge
1 volume
jinmem.pyoko.org
It's the first manga that justified my opinion that manga isn't "some sex or fighting japanese comix". It's bout school life, very real. Drama that can be happening everywhere. And it has very original artwork.
Other manga Helter skelter, made by 'same person is also great. It's bout show-biz and stuff, and it's also drama. it's on mangascreener.net

Other great manga I read

Blame! & Noise
Vagabond
Slam Dunk
Real
Freesia
confession
Nasu
Sexy voice and robo
BECK
GantZ
Brothers
MPD Psycho
Rookies
Uzumaki
Neji
Jisatsu Circle
Monster
Bokurano (very original mecha manga)
Goth
Pluto

Route 20
Houshin Engi

[ramenluver]

u MUST read SALAD DAYS!!!!!!!!!!

[sonnie_skies]

i saw it on the first page - someone recommended blade of the immortal, hands down the best manga ever. completely genre-defying with art that puts nearly every other manga to shame. complex story, interesting female characters (for once), and enough action and character develop to keep any fan pleased.

Intresting recommendations. Very nice boys and girls, i will check ALL non romance mangas posted 0:

[Black Swan]

I just finished reading the latest volume of homunculus, and I was wondering if anyone can recommend a manga that is as psychedelic and eerie as this one.

[Darts]

the author of homunculus also did koroshiya ichi, so you might want to check that out

I did it was way to gory and perverse for my taste. Thanks anyway.

One manga i did start reading and that i strongly recommend is blade of the immortal now that is a great manga though the artwork is not the best, but you get used to it after a while. The story on the other hand is original and riveting its a great read.

[dan-e]

In order from my favorite to my not so favorite but still enjoy and check daily for updates on...

One Piece
Bleach
Naruto
Gantz
Death Note
Yakitate Japan!!
Shaman King

Please suggest me something...

[TenshiOni]

^Battle Royal - similar to Gantz in that it's a death of main characters spree. Arts kinda crappy though.

Hunter x Hunter - You like shounen, you'll like this.

[sonnie_skies]

BLADE OF THE IMMORTAL. i cannot stress this enough. he doesn't pull any shounen manga crap. he sure as hell doesn't bring anyone back to life.

[Azurestrife]

^Battle Royal - similar to Gantz in that it's a death of main characters spree. Arts kinda crappy though.

Hunter x Hunter - You like shounen, you'll like this.

They make a manga of Battle Royale now??

[Lacus Clyne]

^Battle Royal - similar to Gantz in that it's a death of main characters spree. Arts kinda crappy though.


Are you serious? I think the art in BR is spectacular!!

If you don't mind very graphic deaths and sex, then you have to read Battle Royale.

[ekim19]

Bleach (Action/Comedy/Drama): Although the action in this series is pretty cool, the main reason why I like this series is because of it makes me laugh. I burst out laughing just from the animated expressions of the characters alone. It also contains just enough drama and mystery to keep you interested as well.

Dear Mine (Romance): Anyone in the mood for a short sweet manga should read this. A very cute love story that's only 21 chapters long. I only wish it had been a bit longer but other than that I have no real complaints.

Inuyasha (Action/Drama/Romance): I've liked Ranma 1/2 for the longest time so it was only natural of me to move onto this series. Now I'd have to say that I enjoy Inuyasha more than Ranma 1/2. Interesting plot and development, and some of the characters are so darn cute. Anyone who enjoyed Ranma 1/2 should give this one a try.

Azumanga: This series is just crazy. If you need a good laugh I definately recommend this series. Although it doesn't really have a continuous plot, it will have you in rolling on the ground with just 4 frames.

I can't really think of any more, but if I find any I'll be sure to post them.

[Sogetsu.]

You guys should take a look at Vampire Knight, only 3 chapters out but it looks promising. The art is excellent.

"Yuuki's earliest memory is of a stormy winter's night when she was attacked by a vampire...then saved by another. Ten years later, she has grown up a guardian of the vampire race, protecting her savior, Kaname, from discovery as he leads a group of reformed vampires at an elite boarding academy. But at her side is a boy called Zero, who burns with hatred for the creatures who destroyed everything that he ever cared for, and is determined never to trust them. Have the vampires truly renounced their murderous ways, or is there a darker truth behind their actions? Is Kaname's infatuation with Yuuki the beginning of a forbidden romance? Or is it something in her lost memories that draws him to her? Because in this world of secrets, nothing is as it seems, and nobody is who they say they are. And the price of misplaced faith may well be worse than death."

[pwned hokage]

hmm lessee
Ill name some titles that werent mentioned enough :p

666 Satan, if you like shounen, and consider the fact that twins really think alike, this one should be a lot of fun
Koroshiya 1 & Homunculus, very creative series imo, Koroshiya (aka Ichi the Killer) is very bloody and gorey, while Homunculus is more psychological
Mushishi, very beautifull & simplistic series, episodic fairytales about mythical beings called mushi
Vinland Saga, tho there's only 2 chaps scanlated I have fallen madly in love with this already, author of Planetes does vikings, great action scenes and art
Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou, this manga pwns my soul. so, so, SO very beautifull, post-apocalyptic romantic story (not love; romantic. there's a difference)
Yakitate!! Japan, can hold its own against some of the more known shounen jump series imo. great characters, hilarious stuff, and doesnt get boring at all
Yotsuba&!, if you liked Azumanga you will adore this
Mahoromatic, if you like ecchi comedy, this is one of the funnest in its genre, seriously much better than the anime, and more perverted :p
I''s, teenangst ftw, fapulous art ;D like Ichigo 100%, but way, way better
Cromartie High School, simply put, THE funniest manga ever. about badasses, mechazawa, freddie, and a gorilla.
Say hello to Black Jack, seriously intense stuff, art is really great and the stories are emotional, medical seinen
Eyeshield 21, everything about this is so much fun, the art, the characters, the comedy, definitely one of my favorite shounen jump serializations at the moment

[pakku]

Everybody go read Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. It's part of your heritage as shounen manga fans. Part one might start to turn you off, but stick with it, there's a pretty good chance you'll really like it by part two.

Both are Samurai mangas, i would recommend Lone Wolf and Cub if you are intrested in realistic/serious samurai mangas.

[Lord Yu]

I've read Vagabond it is truly fine.

[Ghostfirefly]

One gory, sci fi manga basically no one has heard of is 'Project Arms'. I personally, love that manga, despite it's sometimes overload of gore. ^^

[yo586]

I've had the problem recently of comparing everything to Berserk, and thus being most dissapointed. Best manga out there IMHO.

[murasex]

Oh my! Oh my! You guys should read DRAMACON by Svetlana Chmakova.

--Not guys... It's more of a girly-lovey-dovy manga... It's so adorable and cute. <333

The manga is about a young manga writer, Christie, who goes to the same anime convention each year to see/be with a cosplayer, Matt. Very cute. =3
--Only volume 1 is out in the U.S.--from what I know.

up u
its absolutely a masterpiece

[Ibishi-kun]

I recommend: -

GTO (Great Teacher Onizuka)
Genre: Comedy, Action-esque
Synopsis: A perverted virgin Male, who thinks he is all that, leads the life of a drop-out with nothing really going for him but has extremely high goals. The manga begins with him in a interview applying for a high school athletics/karate teacher position. It then transitions to his not-so-distant past when he had these high expectations. Though I only have Vol.1 there is some ace humorous moments and some helpings of romance and action. For the older teens really (but me being 14, I really enjoyed it).

Dragon Ball (The original Shounen)
Genre:A good all rounder, Comedy/action based.
Synopsis:The original story of Son Goku and Bulma as they collect the 7 Dragon Balls. Introduces the characters to Z and GT, such as Yamcha and Piccolo. Thouroghly enjoying it, highly recommend for everyone.

Bleach
Genre: Fantasy, Action, Comedy-esque
Synopsis: I assume you all know about this one.

Naruto
(damn you if you don't know)

Card Captor Sakura/ Tsubasa Resevoir
Genre: fantasy, romance, drama, comedy-esque
Synopsis: Sakura (aged 10), one day, finds a mysterious book in her fathers library, The Book of Clow. She opens the book and the cards and mysteries inside diperse out and she is thrown into a quest to retrieve these cards. But there is more to this Book and quest than it seems.

Full Metal Alchemist
Genre: Action, Drama, Fantasy
Synopsis: Edward Elric and his brother have an 'eventful past' as Ed's brother's spirit is sealed away in a Metal Armour. People in the world have the gift to manipulate certain elements and the price for something else.
Interesting storyline, ace Characters, I love the Roy x Hawkeye pairing.

Eye Shield 21
Genre: sports, comedy
Synopsis: Not too sure at the moment (it only just arrived). It is a boys first year at high school and he plans not to get bullied by the jocks but the Football coach has an eye on this boy as he doesn't like him. Oh and this boy has the ability to run extremely fast. Looks interesting.


I can't wait to start reading Full Moon wo Sagashite. Can anyone one recommend any more manga to read?

For romance readers I recommend these not too well-known manga/manhwa:

Hot Gimmick
Hatsumi is a young girl whose family lives in a company housing area. She one day finds her little sister collapsed on the street and with that she reveals to Hatsumi that she might be pregnant.
The sister asks Hatsumi to help buy a pregnancy test for her. So being the easily persuaded kind of person, Hatsumi agrees to it in the end. In the process Hatsumi gets caught buying this shamelful object by none other than her childhood nightmare, Ryoki Tachibana! He immediately assumes that Hatsumi is a loose woman on her way buying a pregnancy test for herself. Hatsumi begs Ryoki not to tell anyone about the matter. Ryoki agrees to it on one condition - that she must without any complaints become his slave!
Hot Blooded Woman
24 volumes, completed
Crazy story about a violent girl called Ha Ji Kang who finds herself in another body after having a car accident. With her usual dumb attitude she has to live in the body of a beautiful girl now.
Red Lion
Quite possibly the best and most reknown fighter of all the schools is a red haired girl, solely referred to as the Red Lion. But as the Red Lion suddenly disappears one day, we find that's only the beginning to the trials of real "Red Lion".
Koukou Debut
Haruna Nagashima gave her all to softball in middle school, and now that she's made her high school debut she's decided to give her all for a new goal. Getting a boyfriend and falling in love! However, she has one small problem. Since she never paid any attention to fashion or trend in middle school she has no idea how to go about attracting her yet-to-be-found love. But a chance encounter with with Yoh Komiyama provides her with the opportunity she needs. If he coaches her in how to become attractive, surely she can find herself a boyfriend!
Hanakimi
a gender-bender/cross-dressing manga
Ahiya Mizuki, a girl, transfers to an all-boys-school disguised as a boy to get near to her idol Sano Izumi, a highjumper.
Tokyo Crazy Paradise
also gender-bender, cross-dressing
Lovely Complex
Koizumi Risa, current height 170 cm. Her surname is translated to "small river". A girl taller than most other girls her age. Otani Atsushi, current height 156 cm. His surname is translated to "big valley". A guy way below the average height of a highschool boy.
They're both known all around school as the comedian duo for looking like nothing but funny while standing beside each other. Due to this fact, they've been on one another's bad side ever since they first met.
One day, a new transfer student shows up and he happens to be very tall! Koizumi immediately gets interested in this boy and Otani suddenly proposes a silly idea to Koizumi. The idea is that they are to help each other out to get their respective love interests by all means! Koizumi undoubtedly agrees to this but as in all other shoujo mangas, things never turn out the way people want it to.
W-Juliet
Makoto (a boy) his dream is to be an actor but his father wants him to succeed their dojo , so his father makes a deal with him. If he can attend the school as a girl for one year and not be found he will let him do as he wants , but at his first day at school he was found out by Ito (a girl) , but when he tells her his story she agrees to help him through his one year, the two starts to develope a very deep feeling towards each other but nothing is easy at it seems .
