I would recommend a few from this list: Alive - The Final Evolution Psyren Destroy & Revolution Holyland Breaker Breaker - The New Waves Ability Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aix Posted April 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 I read from many genres of manga/manhwa/manhua. I would recommend a few from this list: Alive - The Final Evolution Psyren Destroy & Revolution Holyland Breaker Breaker - The New Waves Ability I really can't stand manga with bad art, so some of those recommendations don't appeal to me, but I have read Psyren and the Breaker (both).

And which of those with the supposedly "bad art" do you not like? Ability? If it's that one I can understand cause the story isn't that great anyways. If it's any of the others then I just shake my head at you. No offence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.A._Sakuyamon Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 Destroy and Revolution, their faces look weird. This may or may not come as a surprise to you but both Holyland and Destroy & Revolution are by Mori Kouji. His art isn't the most superb but he knows how to tell a story. So give it a chance..

Judαs Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 I've been reading manga for about 6 years now, and I've seriously outgrown the whole ecchi-comedy genre. Two of my current favorites, both clean can-read-in-front-of-family-without-feeling-awkward comedy titles are Yotsuba&! and Azumanga Daioh, both by the same mangaka Kiyohiko Azuma. Both have already been licensed in English. Also recommend: Sakura Tsuushin by U-Jin (borderline H, dark themes) Card captor Sakura by CLAMP Crayon Shin-chan by Yoshito Usui (hilarious, potentially offensive to some) Death Note by Tsugumi Ooba/Takeshi Obata (read it before watching the anime and liked it more.) Detective Conan by Gosho Aoyama (mind=blown) Confidental Confessions by Momochi Reiko (slightly cheesy, dark themes, divided opinion) Doraemon by Fujiko Fuijo (clean humor) Wasabi by KEITH And in the NSFW section: Oretama ("My Balls") by Shigemitsu Harada (super borderline H can't post artwork.) I haven't read any manhua/manwha, got any recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, I'v been reading manga since I was 14, so I'v got about 9 years worth of it in my belt. I'm pretty sure I'v read Oretama...... For manhua/manwha Breaker & it's currently updated Breaker - The New Waves is a good start. Well that's if your into martial arts stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicο Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 So how many of you here read manga/manwha? Quite a few, actually. What are your favourites? I don't read much, really, so even ones in which I like the anime better end up in my favorites, but these: Hayate no Gotoku!Arata KangatariSaki + Achiga-henMahou Sensei Negima!Minami-keYumekui MerryLittle Busters! The 4-komaMagical Girl Lyrical Nanoha ViVidMahou Senki Lyrical Nanoha Force Any recommendations? I don't assume I'm very good at recommendations, but at least the ones in my favorite genre that I could are definitely not bad (except maybe Kill Me Baby since I've seen a lot of hate on that. Mainly the anime, but it doesn't seem like it's anymore than a completly straight adaption):The Little Busters 4-koma (I guess it would be nice to know a bit more about the characters via manga, anime, or visual novel before this, but not really needed to get a few laughs)Minami-keAcchi KocchiA-ChannelHayate no Gotoku! Kill Me Baby What genres do you like? Comedy, Slice of Life, Romace, Action, Adventure, Shounen, Shoujo, Seinen, Ecchi, pretty much anything that isn't hentai/yaoi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 Some of Gregor's favorites: Katekyo Hitman Reborn! Ouran High School Host Club Black Butler Rosario + Vampire Pokémon RéBURST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bury the year Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 Don't we already have a "Favorite Anime/Manga" thread? Because I feel that would serve the purposes of this one well enough.Anyways, if not, the ones I'm reading right now:BleachGamaranKamisama no Iutoori (I and II)Kataribe no ListMahouka Koukou no RettouseiThese ones I only keep reading if I remember about them (aka, not religiously):3 Gatsu no LionClassmate, Kamimura Yuuka wa Kou IttaDonyatsuDemon Lord At Work (Hataraku Maou-sama!)Fugurumakan Raihouki (no more scans coming through)Anything on these lists I'd recommend, and anything from below. These are manga that I've finished and liked enough to share:Alive: The Final EvolutionDouble Arts (sadly cancelled)PsyrenSasurai Emanon (there's nudity, but nothing sexualized) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Umbra Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 I would recommend almost anything by Urasawa Naoki, especially if you're into more story-driven manga. It's not about flashy superpowers and huge standoffs, it's about people. 20th Century Boys would be his magnum opus, but Monster and Pluto are both exceptional as well.

D.A._Sakuyamon Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 Anything on these lists I'd recommend, and anything from below. These are manga that I've finished and liked enough to share:Alive: The Final Evolution Since you like myself bring up Alive - The Final Evolution I deem it nessisary to those that haven't read it know one very important fact that should be kept in mind when you get to the ending. Tadashi Kawashima who created this amazing manga, finished it on his death bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tentacruel Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 The main manga I read are the long shounen series, as watching the anime is just too long. I own the first two volumes of Bakuman as well, but I haven't bothered to get the third for some reason. I would recommend almost anything by Urasawa Naoki, especially if you're into more story-driven manga. It's not about flashy superpowers and huge standoffs, it's about people. 20th Century Boys would be his magnum opus, but Monster and Pluto are both exceptional as well. I have never read any of these things, but I have heard nothing but good things about them. Tell me though, is there any particular advantage of reading the manga over watching the anime? I could go for either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.A._Sakuyamon Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 I'd also like to suggest "Suicide Island" which is by the same person that's done "Holyland" & "Destroy & Revolution". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
