Manga, what do you like?

[Koganesaga]

Just throwin' it out there, what manga do you like? Also manga you think should be anime's as well or ones that became anime's and shouldn't have.

Parasyte, that was delightful, especially the penis arm, it was weird but hell.

Also there's a manga called Akumetsu, which has the dark hero theme that deathnote has, but get this, it came out before deathnote! I'd kill people to see that as an anime, hell they might even do some filler episodes to increase its run which wouldn't be too bad.

Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind. The manga's even better than the movie. If Miyazaki could ever be convinced to direct a Nausicaa animated series, I could die happy.

Yotsuba&! is fun, and the Japanese version makes good reading practice.

Hellsing is just awesome.

Bokurano - I haven't seen the anime, but the manga is really good.

These are my favorites at the moment.

Errrr.... might want to edit thread title. it says "Magna", not "Manga".

OT: Oh, wow, where should I even start.....
Nurarihyon no Mago (generic shonen, but good. They are already working on anime)
Mysterious Girlfriend X (its weird.... and weirdly addictive)
Cage of Eden (its a crossover between Lost, Lord of the Flies, and Jurassic Park)
Parasite (I agree, it was awesome)
....

I'll add more once I remember.

EDIT: Here are some more:
Q.E.D - 16 year old MIT drop-out solves crimes with logic.
Sankarea - zombie-nut develops a zombie drug, ditzidiot of a friend (girl) steals and drinks it
Arago - London cop with powers solves crimes that involve supernatural
Mirai Niki (Future Diary) - survival game where diaries of participants predict the events of their futur in a particular manner unique to the holder.
Busou Renkin - shonen battle fanfest (like Bleach is)
Kurohime - about a bullet-witch (too many details to list)
Hajimete no Aku - love comedy about a teenage evil genius

EDIT 2: Should I add a few good Shojo mangas to the list? Just to prove that Twilight is NOT the only girl-centric fanservice-fest, that there are tons of much better material out there?

Good call on the title, and go ahead add some shojo's, because while I never read the manga, I never felt 07-Ghost was that bad, a little fruity but otherwise good.

Havent read that much, but the NGE manga is pretty good or Welcome to the NHK.

Ah! My Goddess is fuckin' rad too

The one of the guy documenting his necrophilia is the only one I've ever really been interested in.
Anyone know it? Each panel is a separate date & usually a separate corpse.

Remember seeing something like that on 4chan ages ago

Yotsuba& is a good one.
But pretty much read the manga of any anime you like and you're set

Also the best manga ever is Jojo's Bizzare Adventure. Hands down.

 

[GodofDisaster]

My favourites are higurashi, Bleach and High school of the dead, although it's annoying how the chapters are slow to come out.

Sankarea is good, great recommendation.

My favourites are higurashi, Bleach and High school of the dead, although it's annoying how the chapters are slow to come out.

I saw the higurashi anime, oh the gore *salivates* LOVED season one, season two not as much.

And I read high school of the dead too, and you're right those chapter crawl.

Throwing a few more out there:

Ikkigami: about a japan were they make people treasure life by everybody having the odds of 1 in 1000 to die via injection, it follows the guy who delivers their one day to live notice and the people who get them.
Veritas: basically a super-human fighting academy where any character can die at any time (no shounen syndrome here)
Gamaran: Feudal Japan, a lord is getting ready to pass on control of the land and each of his sons picks a dojo to represent them, and the dojo's then fight to the death for glory and power. And this guy has over 30 sons (busy little shit).

Yotsuba :3 SO adorably awesome!

 

[Archereus]

Well I can't name any manga off hand that I enjoy but I do catch random episodes of random crap I come by. I don't get sick when I watch it so i guess I can say there is some thing i enjoy.
If any one has some suggestions I will take them.

 

[Vet2501]

Well I like Ghost in the Shell, Helsing and Rorouni Kenshin. I have a lot more but those are just my favouites.

Recently bought the first 2 Akira volumes and they are brilliant, they explain so much more than the anime, problem is there are 6 of them and they are bloody expensive.

 

[Marsell]

Hellsing FTW
I'm also watching FMA brotherhood, and I've seen all of Airiantou

 

[Salviar]

Have to say I'm into a lot of the girlie, crappy anime but besides that I'm really a fan of D Gray Man, Higurashi (as alot of people have said), Elfin Lied and Battle Royale.

 

[Galad]

Berserk
Blame!
and maybe 20th Century Boys, but I don't have any first hand impressions from it

Those three are a must-read for any manga fan.

 

[Katherine Kerensky]

Well, I loved the anime of Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, so I started to collect the manga...
I have a few others, such as Demon Diary and a few Lupin III books.

 

[knhirt]

Parasyte, that was delightful, especially the penis arm, it was weird but hell.

Wow. When I saw the thread name, I thought to myself "I'll mention Parasyte!". It's my absolute favorite so far.

 

[PrimoThePro]

I love bleach, can't wait for the anime to stop filler'ing. I guess I'm content with the manga on that one. I also enjoy Deadman Wonderland, and Goth was delicious. The latter two need to be made into an anime.

 

[AvsJoe]

I prefer comedic over action-oriented manga. But I haven't read much of it; manga is waaay out of my price range.

List of manga that I have read at least 2 issues:

Love Hina
Samurai Champloo
Bleach
Negima
Berserk
Battle Royale
Comic Party

Not much, eh?

 

[Axle_Bullitt_19]

I loved the Gunslinger Girl, Pocket Monster Special(or Pokemon Adventures in the US) and Digimon Next manga. Others I liked are Azumanga Daioh, Pani Poni, Seto No Hanayome, and Valkyria Chonicles.

 

[lapan]

Love Hina

• A beautiful and hilarious love story. I especially like Kaora Su and her strange inventions.

Spoiler

Battle Royale

• Great character design, even the most unimportant characters have a well written backstory.

Hellsing

• One of the best vampire manga i have ever read. Very unusual drawing style.

Spoiler

Skip Beat

• Her emotions turn into ghosts that haunt everyone around her. Funny, well-drawn and loveable characters.

Spoiler

Tenjou Tenge

• Manages to tell a good story while being very ecchi. Great drawings, like in all of Oh Great!s works.

Good man, Lots of action, lots of gore, and personally I found it ironic the criminal who shreds the bodies of women actually got arrested for the one he didn't do.
