Self-explanatory. You read a lot of manga? Have some touched you so much you have them in places of honor all over your bedroom? We all want to know what you think. Why did this particular series move you so much? Was it the awesome fights scenes? Or maybe it was the tearfully romantic ending? You tell us.

I'm not really a Manga Fan, since i prefer the animated versions. The only time i read a manga is when i start a series which is still ungoing i.E Bleach.

The first Manga which i would recommend is: Rurouni Kenshin
It's just so much better than the anime.

And number #2 is: Slam Dunk
One word before, i'm really NOT a fan of basketball or other Sport animes, but this one is awesome. It has one of the funniest Characters ever and the games itself are really good. Though i would advise watching the Anime first, and then the Manga, because the anime only features about 25 of 31 Volumes.

One Piece. Its without a doubt the greatest in my mind. Its gone 455+ chapters so far with no sign of slowing down and still keeps the fans in awe. Its a lot more than you can say for other long manga like Naruto, Bleach or even Dragonball, which have had fan sighing for long periods of time.

It just has so much to offer. Its not restricted setting wise. Lets take Bleach for example. It has three settings: Earth, Soul Society and Hueco Mundo. Meanwhile One Piece has thousands of islands on the Grand Line, each varing greatly in size, shape and weather.

Theres much more story and practically a whole world left to conquer. Lets use Naruto as an example this time. Once Akatsuki and Oro are gone thats it really. Where as in OP you have the schichibukai, the four emperors, a supreme admiral, three admirals, many vice admirals and randoms like Eneru and Cp9 popping up.

It just offers so much more than any manga Ive ever read.

My gateway manga was Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne.

I don't think I really have a favourite though Bleach struk a chord with me that I fell in love (I liked the whole concept of life after death that was going on, now I'm lukewarm, but want to read it as a whole once the series finishes...)

But lately I've been reading OELs (original english language) and I've been enjoying Steady Beat and Dramacon.

Shounen:

Bleach.

With Mx0 at a second place, many other good series around.


For shoujo:
I'd say Full Moon Wo Sagashite


Seinen:
Devilman Amon, Trinity Blood & Berserk(berserk mainly corse of how long it is, so it's gotten the time to make a good storyline)

I don't go through too many animes or mangas so I would say it's a tie between Bleach and Claymore for now. Bleach was clear in the lead but Claymore is good and taking over :rolleyes:

One Piece is the greatest manga ever. Oda is a genius, and manages to pack so much into one chapter, while leaving me wanting more every time.

School Rumble is definitely my 2nd place manga, if only the chapters were longer...but it's still genius and I laugh my ass off almost every time.

Other favorites include To-love-ru, Mx0, Fairy Tail, 666Satan, and... My Balls

One Piece : Awesome world and characters, excellent storyline, and huge potential to finish the main story (will OP reach 1000 chapters ?:D)

Bleach : Good graphics, and story, like that Kubo is unpredictable each week:rolleyes:.

Hellsing : Alucard is awesome, but one chapter per month:(

Tenjou Tenge : Like the graphics, the fights, story too, can't wait to see the huge battle...

Berserk : Seinen best Manga for me, Strong characters, story, Guts with his huge sword, cut everything, waiting for Guts / Griffith fight :D

Death Note : Awesome story, but I don't like the end (Yes, I'm Kira fan:D)

To Love ; for the fun^^

Nama

One Piece: Like the others have mentioned, lots of potential. Its world is vast and interesting. The characters are great, and there's a huge difference between them (in looks and personality). :p I also like Oda's style, it's unique.
One Piece = Excellent.

Bleach: A great manga with great art and characters. The plot is good. I love it. <3

Magic Knight Rayearth: The art is gorgeous, and the plot is good. The characters are also nice. ^^

I have a long dirty history with shoujo, so that's much of my frame of reference. My favorite being:

Hana Yori Dango. I think that it's just gone beyond most of the shoujo stereotypes. It was really hard to see what was coming next for the two main characters, and it took 27 volumes for them to really get together (she said she loved him). I even liked the recent j-drama, and I am not a j-drama fan in the least.

06-20-2007, 06:40 PM
Gantz: I'm waiting a while before I start reading phase 2, but I love the art and the basic premise of this manga. The one thing is that it is impossible to get attached to any of the characters before they... uh... go away.

Bleach: Of course :P

Death Note: Mostly the first part. I love the "you make a move and I counter" thing that L and Light have going on. Some of the twists in the manga aren't really to my liking, though :\

Geta Boshi
06-20-2007, 06:43 PM
I hope Tsugumi Ohba does a prequel to deathnote mostly dealing with L . I find Light acting extremly homoerotic in an unhealthy fashion >_<

Beck best music you'll ever read.

Monster not quite as good as 20cb but finished.
GTO hilarious and a great ending.
Hajime no Ippo ongoing epic with brilliant characterisation.

Syn
06-21-2007, 12:01 PM
Other than Bleach:

Perfect Girl Evolution aka Nadeshiko Shichi Henge aka The Wallflower: Sunako is just awesome. It's about 4 guys who accept to turn a girl into a true lady, except the girl is a true goth who don't give a damn about her physical appearance XD

Special A: Hikaru ftw, 'nough said XD she's clueless but awesome at the same time and Kei is just... too dangerous XD

Ouran koukou Host Club: who don't know that?

Ga-Rei: the first chapter reminded Bleach a lot, though with a lot of differences too. It just has that taste of awesomeness. And the hero is too damn hilarious; the girl resembles Rukia on many levels. :) it's about a boy who can see ghosts and ends up entering an organisation who fights to save the Earth from a conspiracy with a weird ghost at its head.

Yamada Tarou Monogatari: or you too, read about the life of a super poor family and what they do to survive! It's absolutely hilarious and a must read without a doubt!

Lovely Complex: one of the most hilarious shoujo, very cute too. The girl is a giant and the boy lacks in height. Sworn enemies, they are meant for each other, of course XD

W-Juliet: because it's awesome, period.

Habaek aka The Bride of the Water God: or how to completely mess with the mind and ask more questions than there is any answers. The art is an absolute masterpiece.

There are many others but, oh well... I also had en eye on Zombie Loan but I think the team who translated it died or something. Which is a shame, it was getting so interesting, dammit.

That manga is wicked in a nice way . During the show I was hearing the anime was toned down So after the show was over I ended up reading the manga . And yes it was better

Have you seen or read Cooking Master Boy / Chuuka Ichiban! (http://bt.downloadanime.org:6969/) ?

Shannon
06-29-2007, 07:43 PM
I like TRC too, I have up to the volume 12(since the bookstore here is pretty slow). And I like Bleach too. And School Rumble, I can't believe I'm laugh so much when reading a manga.

And FMA. Because it's so awesome. And Ed's growing taller! >:O

furato
07-01-2007, 04:32 PM
Three titles above others:
20th Century Boys

There's a saying "your heart is where your money is". So it must be proof of my love that I'm willing to buy every single volume of these three long series instead of "buy only volumes I like when there's spare cash".

My Balls! If only it wasn't released monthly. Favorite shounen is One Piece, favorite (and only shoujo) is Lovely Complex.

To-love-Ru and Mx0 are good too, I think most of my anime and manga tastes are shifting from action to comedy.

sasuki-chan
07-06-2007, 10:59 AM
my favorite are:
- shin angyo onshii (though it's a manwha)
- naruto (my second manga)
- fruit basket (my first manga lol)
- bleach (duh!)
- monster
- lovely complex
- unbalanceXunbalance
- negima (so many cute characters *o*)
- chobits (mostly for the art that I love *q*)
- gunslinger girls (I like the concept)
- pot (the only sport manga I read)

I think that's all:)

i was reading vampire knight but following it chapter by chapter is killing me..especially the way the plot is going..so i decided to lay off of it for a couple of months and read it again..
i also liked demon diary..but mostly only for the art..hmm..i liked samurai deeper kyo until everything got a bit repetitive and complex..
and of course bleach is just awesome!
and i also enjoyed death note..until they killed L..grrr!

Surreal
07-08-2007, 04:47 PM
Shin angyo onshii by far. I love every aspect of it...but above else I like Aji Tae.

My second favorite would be Berserk and then comes Bleach...the only shounen I can stand at the moment.

Although, Kenshin is better then Bleach ^__________^

Trigun is an epic manga. Naruto and Bleach are classic favorites...Full Metal Alchemist is AWESOME.

Pollux
07-15-2007, 08:34 PM
If manhwa are also accepted then my favorite is Chunchu. If not, then it's Bleach.
I really love Chunchu because of the art, the awesome characters and the battle scenes. The only flaw I see in Chunchu is the fact that there are a lot of mysteries and very few explanations. The fact that the authors have made a pause to work on Jackals doesn't help.
My other favorites are Fruits Basket, Berserk, Eyeshield 21, Fullmetal Alchemist and Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles.

A few come to mind as favorites over any other manga I'm either reading or have finished >_> Of course I have tons more I like, these are just my top choices at the moment.

King of Hell - There's nothing I dislike about the manhwa, except that many of the volumes have yet to be released. A fantastic story, brilliant art and an awesome main character.

Gantz - Love the premise, the characters, the violence and just the overall story.

Bleach

@aznxenocide : manhwa are Corean comics (if I remember correctly, King of Hell is one).
And although it's no longer my favorite, I should have mentioned Dragonquest the Adventure of Dai, it has a special place in my collection as it was the first manga I collected. I still like it a lot despite its lousy French translation.

Strange. I was certain I had posted in here. Oh well. My current favorites are Soul Eater, Until Death Do Us Part, Air Gear, and Ikkitousen. I'm also into ES21, Tsubasa Chronicles, Toshiue no Hito (I'm going to hell), Trigun Maximum (Legato-sama), Genshiken (because...we all get it.), and Hellsing....atleast before Anderson got deus ex owned in the face. Man....Alucard sucks.

That's right, Ikkitousen, NOT Battle Vixens. Never in my life has a series been so butchered. So what if the mangaka admittedly made the series perverse by visual, do I really need such shitty dialogue with visuals like those? Let me internally connect the dots, the picture is always so much prettier and I have a small sense of accomplishment after I am done.

I'm such a big terrible. Best manga ever is Flame of Recca. How could I forget. My tattoo was burning as I read over my post no less.

Shadoblak
07-27-2007, 07:45 PM

My favorite #1 manga of all time, despite what everyone says about it, Dragonball.

It's just so imaginative, so original, so innovative. Completely unpreidctable, funny and provided action at the appropriate time.

Death Note is second, obviously.

Well out of all of the Manga I read only three titles are in the lead.

Bleach ( I like Bleach and lot always have and always will like it )

Tenjou Tenge ( Tenjou Tenge gets second it would have gotten first but it takes too long for new issues to come out on my side one month in regards to every week like the other places have them. )

Naruto ( Still is and always will be my counterpart fav to Bleach )

Runner Up For Favorite Manga

KOF MI ( Only 8 Issues but it's one of my favorites )

Death Note ( Would have been my favorite had it not been for the others )

Gantz, Fairy Tail, FMA, Berserk, and Trigun.

Honorable mention: Bleach, I've been a bit down on it during the last year, but I look forward to when it becomes epic again.

Well, off the top of my head I would say Gantz, but I don't think I could possibly choose. I love them all so much. If someone came up to me and said "You have to give up one" I would be at a loss. FMA is special because I've read it the longest, Gantz has incredible character development, Shin Angyo Onshi art, Amatsuki fascinating storyline, and Bleach is BLEACH.

But what I can say for sure is that Naruto is my least favorite. :( Which, kind of makes me sad, as Part I was so wonderful.

My favorits... hard task. :headscratch
Well, since I first started reading Fullmetal Alchemist it's my absolute favorite and the longer the manga goes the better I like it. I can't wait for the next chapter. 4 days! Must survive 4 more days... :cry
My second favorite manga would be Air Gear. Yeah, it's pretty cool and the art is just awesome. Nice characters, lots of action and fights that are different from the other power-shonen-series like Naruto or Bleach.
Third place is Trigun Maximum. Volume 5 was just wow. When they start a serious fight you can't stop reading. The whole series is very dark and gets even more depressing, but every now and then some funny moments rescue the mood. And these characters: You just have to love Vash and Wolfwood. You laugh with them and you suffer with them (or at least I do).
Forth place is Battle Angel Alita (Last Order). Serious, action, philosophy, great characters, awesome fights = nothing more to say.
Fifth place: Tenjo Tenge. Well, I think I will be an oh!Great-Fan if he's going to continue producing such great peces of art.

very easy:
1 - What a wonderful world
those who liked the movie "crash" will love this manga
such human characters would you never find in any other series
unfortunatly over in only 2 volumes...

2 - GTO
just classic with the coolest teacher all time
and those who can't get enough should reading the prequel "gto early years"

3 - Monster
very intensive and dark thriller, with a cool germany-setting
only for those, who can bear the deepest of the human soul

4 - 20th Century Boys
the style is simple but the story is the best that I ever read

5 - oh that one is hard... there are FMA, Air Gear, Tenjou Tenge, Trigun, Gon
...
I think, I'll choose "Kimba, the white lion"
pretty old though, but the story has many metaphors, and the animals are just too cute and human X3

but I like all my mangas so far :3

If it's continuing like this, I'll suffer from persecution complex... :headscratch What the hell are you doing here homer? :hm The more fans the better, but... everyone is being after me! >___<

Anyway: what? FMA not one of the top 5? Shame on you! °^° I think I should make you read more FMA convince you to read more FMA. :D

you already do that XD
but than you must force "ask nicely" the glénat-publisher in France to release the volumes earlier...
but since you speak french even worse than me, it's a hopeless task XP

but even so... I would set the rest of my mangas to place 5, too
except for Ikki Tousen, that's trash...

Come on. You know as much series as I do. FMA, Trigun, Air Gear and Tenjo Tenge are just better than the rest of it.

woot? you're the manga-fancier of both of us XD
but that doesn't change my opinion, that fma, trigun, AG and so on are great, but not great enough to get above 20th century boys or even Kimba
and so, they range "rest of my mangas"

Kenni
03-12-2008, 11:27 PM
that's a lie!
Nope, it's not. :noworry

contrariwise:

It is. I think waiting 4 weeks or more for every chapter is long enough.

woot? you're the manga-fancier of both of us XD
but that doesn't change my opinion, that fma, trigun, AG and so on are great, but not great enough to get above 20th century boys or even Kimba

Look at your Mangalist: you're currently reading 99 series and want to read 24 so all in all, we both know the same amount of manga-series. I doubt you've read aroung 700-800 volumes by now, but we're talking about the series and not the volumes right know.

I should continue reading 20th century boys... :headscratch But nevertheless not all your 120 series can be as great as fma, trigun and air gear. These are masterpieces. :headscratch

Favorite manga at the moment would probably be Miwa Shirow's DOGS. It's quite different from a lot of the mangas I've read recently, and I'm just completely entranced by where the story is going. I'm keeping up with Bleach, but my interest is waning.

Personally I've always been fond of Hikaru no Go. The artwork is astoundingly detailed, and just by looking at a go board you have to realize that they'd be an enormous pain to draw repeatedly. >.>

I also enjoyed black cat, and the ever-macabre Hellsing.

Fruits Basket is the only manga I've ever finished, and I loved it. A shame there aren't any plans to continue the anime. Also, I'm so mad it's not on One Manga anymore. :cry

Trigun has always been my favorite, hands down. Trigun/Trigun Maximum, ah, I could read it all day! <3

And Fortunate, you can find Fruits Basket Here (http://manga.bleachexile.com/fruits-basket.html) :3

I have to read Trigun there, since it was also taken off of One Manga D:

Naruto and Bleach are my favorite i can decide between the two because bleach has the awesome concept of the life after death and Naruto has the mythical concept.

Other than those two ive read shaman king. fullmetal alchemist, Rurouni Kenshin, Inuyasha, saiyuki, and yuyu hakasho , and D-gray man.

Is this alltime? Then here goes:

Seinen: Berserk

Caught up to Volume 30. Really awesome and has tons of violence and blood. It's a story with amazing sword battles and fighting a bleak destiny for the main character as he literally tries to conquer his "inner demons" Kentarou Miura is a brilliant mangka. He puts so much depth and information into each of his chapters that you are felt overwhelmed (in a good way) with the sheer brilliance. His art style is marvelous and his two page spreads are simply exquisite. Also, the manga has a very dark theme with gore/nudity and not for the light hearted. Its a different taste and sets itself apart from most series.

Shounen: Dragon Ball

The greatest manga series hands down. You dare to say otherwise and not only will you get mauled by fanboys on earth, this galaxy, but across the whole freaking universe. The anime is one thing, but the manga is completely something else. Its captivating. The characters are all unique and instant favorites. The drawing is simply fantastic with vivid images and style. This is the series that set up the traditional archetypes that many mangaka use nowadays. Overall the manga is a must read. It's enjoyable and for any hardcore Dragon Ball or manga reader. Akira Toriyama is simply the greatest mangka ever. Kubo, Kishi and Oda all bow before Akira's greatness.

For the moment it's Claymore, which I love far far far far more any other manga right now. The plot is great, the characters are simply awesome. Everything about it just screams epicness (well, xept for raki..possibly). It also has amazing re-reading value, which is not something that could be said about most mangas (like Naruto..which I tried to reread but failed miserably). Every single chapter is interesting and while it makes you wait impatiently for the next one, you don't get the unpleasant "WHADAFK?!... is that all..? :rawr" feeling either, which I get from most mangas I follow now, sadly (yes, that includes Bleach).

All time I'd say Rurouni Kenshin and Dragon Ball. (Claymore's might get there too, though) Dragon Ball's plot is not great, but it's definitely underrated. The fighting scenes in it are also superior to most (if not all) mangas right now. RK has a bit of everything which I loved. It's also what got me into the manga world really xD;

Bleach...it's the only one I care enough to, talk about. I only join or lurk at Bleach sites. I haven't posted more than 25 times in a non Bleach forum. Hell I don't even visit them. I love Manga and Anime. It's all I watch or Read. There is nothing that I love nor will I ever love anything as much as Bleach (The Ichigo factor)http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g264/ichigowife/gifs/3.gif

I don't really pick favorite manga as much as favorite authors...

-Tite Kubo (Of course. Good art, realistic characters, good story)
-CLAMP (Amazing art! Lately they've been into a lot of angst in their stories though >___o That's rough sometimes)
-Hiroyuki Takei (Good story)
-Nobuhiro Watsuki (His art style is very polished, to me. His stories are pretty good as well. *currently in love with Embalming, especially Elm*)
-Hiro Mashima (Moving stories, and they've got a nice mix of action and humor ^___^)
-Sakura Kinoshita (What can I say, the girl draws well! :cookie Her stories are usually pretty funny as well. The element of the supernatural they have is a nice touch)
-Akira Amano (Good art and funny. Her battle scenes, once she introduced them, were amazing! :wha)
-Bisco Hatori (She's funny)
-Akihisa Ikeda (Art style! :wtf Someday I want to be able to color like that! The stories aren't half-bad either; fanservice aside. I don't recommend the anime for Rosario+Vampire, because it's much more pervy :-_-)

I also like whoever wrote Death Note and Spiral. :wha For the art and the way they make me think. P: As you can tell, I generally go for the same stuff...lulz.

Well, on my list, my favourite manga(s) would be:


Death Note - God, I love Death Note. That's all I need to say.
Bleach - Of course, everyone here loves it. xD
One Piece - It's quite repetitive, Luffy always fights the boss. But I still love it.
Fairy Tail - I enjoy it, made me cry a few times too. :XD
Naruto - I like it, though there isn't enough action right now. :P (Also made me cry. xD)
D. Gray Man - I think the writer is having a writer's block. xD The new chapters are a bit bland. Doesn't stop me from loving it though. (I miss Lavi. T_T)

Self-explanatory. You read a lot of manga? Have some touched you so much you have them in places of honor all over your bedroom? We all want to know what you think. Why did this particular series move you so much? Was it the awesome fights scenes? Or maybe it was the tearfully romantic ending? You tell us.
