Manga Recommendations

[Victarion]

The title speaks for itself. I'm looking for a series outside of the shonen-type stuff with a good story and good characters to commit to. Please explain the title(s) you recommend. Thanks.

Akira, the greatest manga there is. Saying otherwise is simply wrong.

 

[MoPlaYa]

I think Naruto is a better Manga the Akira...but thats just my opinion

 

[Da Docta]

And it's wrong, obviously.

 

[MoPlaYa]

LMAO...Naruto has sold well over 2.5 million copies...Not counting anime and video game sales...I think there is a reason for that

 

[Da Docta]

A lot of ignorant teenagers?

 

[MoPlaYa]

lmao...thats a good excuse...

 

[MoPlaYa]

Just because Akira is your favorite doesnt mean its the best... I dunno how you can judge whats the best...But I`d look at sales numbers to start

 

[Da Docta]

You can judge what's the best by what I say, not sales charts.

 

[MoPlaYa]

LMAO...I think the last 2 words in your signature discribe you

 

[Da Docta]

Now, now, just because your opinion isn't right doesn't mean you have to spout vulgarities. Why don't you actually read Akira, it might lead you to the right path of good taste.

 

[MoPlaYa]

I already read it...Its not as good as Naruto IMO...You are the one saying your opinion is the right one...all I said was look at the sale numbers

 

[IRON_Lad]

Samurai Executioner, Air Gear,Full Metal Alchemist, and Death Note(all I can think of right now)

 

[X-Ray]

Monster.

 

[IRON_Lad]

I've thought about buying Monster, is it really that good?

 

[sandwraith]

Ah, I hate books that talk all psycho-babble and such. Go for the simple stuff: Blade of the Immortal by Dark Horse. An Immortal warrior, out to kill a thousand ***kers who've had it coming, a young girl who saw her father killed and her mother raped. Together they set off on a vendetta of legendary proportions. Trust me, there will be blood. Sadly it will be pricey.

 

[mfbtl]

Full Metal Alchemist, Berserk, Monster, Elfen Lied, and Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni.

 

[Victarion]

I've had Claymore recommended. Can anyone in here speak for it?

 

[sandwraith]

Generic monster slaying title. Add some Slayer Vs. Slayer action and some treachery here and there and its alright.

 

[kamesan]

Berserk. The End.
