The “Looking For” Manga Thread

[fe10]

I want fantasy fighting adventure, like claymore, berserk, gantz.

[ryusuke_]

One Piece, of course, its main characters make me laugh every chapter I read, simply great.

And also Keroro Gunsou (Sergeant Frog), it's reaaaaally gooood :D

[erikrhys]

^
how about blade of the immortal, Samurai KYO or Jackals?

[tradedaemon]

Kurozuka and Akumetsu are pretty gory and dark, if I do say so myself.

And Goth is just plain dark awesomeness.

[erikrhys]

^
isn't Goth done by an american? sry if i am wrong, and i completely agree with the other 2 choices.

[tradedaemon]

Not that I know. Kotonoha did it, it's a 1 volume short.

[erikrhys]

^
i know, my gf told me to read it and i did, can't say i was too impressed....... its just not that good. Y-Y

[ryusuke_]

Try 'Darker than Black' and 'Blaster Knuckle (http://mangahelpers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14572) ;)

[Weizen_Bier]

shamo is really good (just read the latest chapters)

i'm surprised nobody said anything about koroshiya ichi (manga after which ichi the killer was made)

i also love hellsing (but not the anime) but new chapters take forever :(

when you want something with a fantasy setting try claymore (never read it only watched the first episodes of the anime, not so good in my opinion, but it's not my favorite type of seinen :))

[warsaint777]

I'm looking for some titles of some of the more raunchy/sexy/perverted mangas. Titles as modestly suggestive as Tu-Love to ones as dirty as My Balls.

What ya'll got?

[Crayola]

look for mangas of the genre ecchi at mangaupdates.com

[ryusuke_]

I only know about MangaHelpers and RitualScan (or sth like that) to get raws, so almost all of the raws are from the Weekly Shonen Jump.

I would like to know if there's any site to get all the raws from other magazines like Big Comic Spirits/Original, Monthly Mag., Afternoon, etc...

Thanks!

[ssjohn]

I dont know of any off hand -_- the only ones i know are the 2 you listed -_-

Are there Certin manga's you want our are you just wanting to look at the magazine for project ideas or just wanting to look @ raws?

[ryusuke_]

I would like to read the whole magazine's raws :P

[barbapapa]

I think your only option is WinNY.

[xi0]

Even then, not too many magazines are scanned in their entirety anymore.

[Maxy Barnard]

sometimes not even weekly jump. scan dumps are getting harder for all magazines. specific series that run usually get posted around if theyre popular though

[ryusuke_]

Okay, thanks for your info ;)

[Deadone]

can you telll some mangas our animes like Basilisk ??

Thx

[eni]

I changed your threadtitle for easier overview ^_^

As for your question - what do you search for exactly? Ninja fights? Hmmm... try
Ninja Scroll? Haven't seen it, though. Or do you like Samurai as well? Samurai Champloo (Anime), Rurouni Kenshin (Manga) and Samurai 7 (Anime) are may some hints for you? Vagabond and Blade of the Immortal are also nice swordfight manga. Onikiri Jyuzois is a manga by Basilisk's artist which was just completed.

Basilisk is pretty nice, I agree. I especially love the Opening/Ending songs and Yashamaru <333

Did you know that there's a movie called Shinobi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinobi:_Heart_Under_Blade), who's telling the same story as in Basilisk? It's very recommandable.

[a_nevels666]

Rurouni Kenshin and Samurai Deeper Kyo.

I think Ninja Scroll was inspired by the same novel as Basilisk.

The author of Basilisk has done several other samurai/ninja manga as well, just google it.

[Deadone]

thx for the help the help =)

[fkeidjn]

Well, I do have Monthly Shonen Gangan raws. Each issue is about 900+ pages long. If I were to scan each issue, I'd be using up three hours of my life just scanning, and that doesn't even include removing the pages from their binding. I tried doing a scan dump once, and it was just time-consuming (900+ pages obviously), even with an automatic feed functionality. So I decided to scan various manga chapters from the magazine for people to look and see what's worth their time reading. I can do a scan dump of the issue, but for a cost for service obviously... either money or maybe translations of one or two manga chapters per scan dump (or am I too forgiving)?

[Nami]

Actually, there is one done by the same people who did Basilisk.
It is an on-going series, called Y+M or The Yagyu Ninja Scrolls (cover pic below). The plot is similar to basilisk - group vs group.

This has been licenced by Del-Ray recently, but if you want to get a feel of the story, you can try Genesis. (http://www.genesis-scanlations.com/) :amuse

[moeman]

I'm surprised that Shonen Sunday isn't as popular to scan. It has Kekkashi, Gash Bell, HSD Kenichi, Hayate no Gotuku, and Inyuasha. I know Jump has alot more Series that are popular, but these mangas are well drawn and good story lines as well.

[xi0]

Scans from Sunday exist moeman, they are just hard to find on English sites sometimes.

[5asori]

Do u know how can I ge Dragon ball Z with japanese audio? I'm not care about the subtitles. Please, if u nkow where can i download it, even if it is only a pair of chapters, or an OVA, i'll be pleased. Thanks for your time and your charity.

[_ATMA]

so wait what are u looking for the anime or the manga? o-o

[deadlywave]

Your in luck! I just recently torrented all of DBZ uncut. Go to
http://adbt.ath.cx/login.php and register and you'll find an uncut dbz torrent (about 68Gb worth of DBZ) on the site, 291 episodes, all have Japanese + German audio and 2/3 have english audio. Alternatively there is another DBZ torrent out there but you'll just have to search for it, try
www.torrents.to.

[Obxist]

Scans from Sunday exist moeman, they are just hard to find on English sites sometimes.

when u said that it hard to find on english sites, is there any other lang sites that provides RAW ? anything cause the ritual itself is one of them ,.. i am curios if theres another site that provides RAW,... ah and for you who search for a RAW,.. maybe tokyotosho.com will help, but the sadnews , that sites only provide torrent rather than DDL

[5asori]

Thnk u very much. _ATMA, the manga can't have japanese audio.

[xi0]

No, sites usually don't have raws hosted themselves, but Japanese forums like 2ch have them posted. You need Share and WinNY in order to get them though.

[_ATMA]

well the way u were asking the question made it imply u were looking for both of them -.-



even if it is only a pair of chapters

[moeman]

No, sites usually don't have raws hosted themselves, but Japanese forums like 2ch have them posted. You need Share and WinNY in order to get them though.

Share and Winny are both in japanese right? That will be tough for me to find those raws that i want.

[imintheradio]

u can try it at anip.homeunix.com!! enjoy!

[fkeidjn]

Are Share and WinNY unsafe in terms of privacy though?

[xi0]

Well Share is an improvement on WinNY in the sense that it's supposedly more secure, but I couldn't tell you personally since I've never had a problem using either. I'm not in Japan so I don't know what could be done to me either.

[fkeidjn]

I was reading about it on Wiki, and there's a newer program called Perfect Dark, which is supposedly the successor of Share and WinNY. Don't know much about it though, since I can't read Japanese, lolz.

[xi0]

Yes, I've used perfect dark as well. It's another one of these programs that is supposed to EVENTUALLY succeed WinNY but it's still new. More and more people are starting to use Share because of the arrests that were made a while back because it is more secure and anonymous.

[shego]

Hey that Genesis page seems to be down, any other place to find Y+M?

[Nami]

Hmmm....you can try Mangatraders (www.mangatraders.com).
Look for it under "Y10M Yagyuu Ninpouchou", but it only has Chapter 1 so far.
Maybe Genesis site isn't working at the moment.

If not, try getting it at their irc #genesis@irc.irchighway.net or look for the pack lists under "Y10M" under Lurk IRC. They have it at lurk.

Bot Name # Pack Gets Size Chapter Name
Neverwhere # 6364 328x 17M Y10M_v01_c01[genesis].zip

[ryusuke_]

I also downloaded PD and followed a guide from MangaUnderground website, but I couldn't configure it right with that guide.


Does anybody know where's a good guide (in english)?

[phatspy]

not at all actually the ecchi mangas they show are not always that ecchi and about half of them no ones scanlates them anymore or ever scanlated them

[shego]

Thanks.

EDIT: Okay, I just checked out that first episode at MangaTraders and HOT DAMN this was awesome! I'm sorry to say I don't fly with IRC so I'll have to ask if anybody knows where the rest is being hosted ( or when does Del Ray release this ).

[a_nevels666]

Thanks.

If I were you I'd just learn how to use irc. You'll pretty much have to use it to find most manga. gotlurk has pretty much every manga ever scanlated.

[aslanfleuck001]

I found this site that hosted 4 chapters of Volume1 of Y10M Yagyuu Ninpouchou manga:
http://cybertyros.info/index.php?option=com_earthgnome&task=listcustom&Itemid=1&id=103
I read the manga and I really love it. Hope that i'll be hosted here.

[shego]

Cool, cool, thanks.

[baka426]

Idk if this is really shonen romance but mirai nikki is a pretty good one if you can find it...

and i already posted this on the raw request forum but thought you guys might know a little more on the subject; does anyone know where i can get raws of either...
Pastel 16-??
Open Sesame 16-??
Suzuka 1-??
or Mirai Nikki 4-??

wow thanks, hopefully next time I'll check this manga it will be more popular :)

[fkeidjn]

If demand is high enough, I might consider scanning this magazine as well. I know Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle and Air Gear are good mangas. Any others?

[Reiu]

Heh... not that this should necessarily stop you, but I've been scanning it for the past 7 weeks.

Example (http://mangahelpers.com/forums/showpost.php?p=486989&postcount=15)

[Koen]

Why don't you guys make a topic: like the weekly scan dump, but then the shonen magazine raw thread, or something like that

[Reiu]

I was planning to, once the new issue came out. Something problematic about that, though, is that RAW placement seems to be all over the place on the forums. If you only read the RAW subforums, you'd never know there were RAWs in the shonen discussion forum.

[Flip+1]

It would be great , i'm a big fan of series inside this mag.Also thanks Reiu for the scan of weekly shonen magazine for the past issues( found some torrent ).

Example (http://mangahelpers.com/forums/showpost.php?p=486989&postcount=15)

Well, if that's the case, I'll forget scanning it. Besides, your scan quality is much better than mine, which discourages me...

[Zwivix]

Omg a torrent of the original DBZ alright!
*runs away*

Hey thanks deadly..

[a_nevels666]

Genesis finally did the fifth chapter, but it looks like they still love IRC, can anyone here RapidShare it?

There's a direct download link in their forum.

[NaughtyMan26]

Hey, can you help me out in finding some interesting romantic mangas? I especially love the age difference love stories where a younger man falls in love with an older woman. I read the ‘Onegai Manga’ and loved it very much. Now I am looking for other romantic mangas of ‘younger boy older girl’ love stories. Can you suggest me the mangas of this type and tell me where I can find those? It would be a great help for me.

[bax]

I take that you already read the Onegai series....

How about Unbalance x Unbalance (http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=1829)? It's a manhwa actually (Korean manga). But it's good in my opinion. You can download it here:
http://crazytje.be/index.php?r=11 or visit KMTS' website HERE (http://www.k-manga.net/)

[KazeDreamer]

plz anyone know if PASTEL is already complete?
cause on the chap 80, the last one ive found so far, it says "continues on volume 15" not yet released as far as i know

[Obxist]

LOL here comes a friends just like me, who needs a story about loving an older woman LOL

okay let me check the database for a while,.. its kinda like hard lol,.. so i am also recommended with UxU as bax said,.. its quite good,. i love it :D

[Kongmarius]

on wiki it says that 17 volumes is out alrdy, I think that the scanlators is just busy with all the other mangas theire doing too :3

[eternalmetal]

Im looking for some good fantasy manga. Im open to any suggestions. Name any good fantasy manga.
[hr]
Nothing? Come on, you guys have to at least of heard of Berserk. I am sure there is nothing that compares with Berserk, but I am sure there are other fantasy mangas that exists. I know that it isnt a manga, but the Twelve Kingdoms was a great fantasy anime (i didnt read the novels). There has to be stuff like this out there.

[eternalmetal]

I have been hooked on Ichigo 100% these last few days. I just hate how indecisive Manaka is! I have to read the whole thing to see what happens, its killing me :p

[Sorata]

When i was reading Ichigo 100% i really hated Manaka for his indecisive way of thinking.

[eternalmetal]

I hate it too, but its extremely addicting. I have to find out what happens, even though something like this would never happen. Its just that I cant believe that so many girls go after him when he cant even make a single commitment, and whenever somebody goes after one of his girls, he gets extremely jealous. What an idiot, hes not really a bad person though.

[Gold Knight]

You can try Bastard! if you like. It's a shonen that became a seinen in time, and it's wacky at times, but you'd probably still like it as it is hardcore fantasy.

Blue Dragon had a lot of fantasy as well - so does Inu Yasha (though get prepared for a very long series) and there's also Beet the Vandel Buster, which was inspired by the Dragon Quest RPG series. And then there's the Record of Lodoss War, although I've only seen the anime and not read the manga.

I really haven't seen that many fantasy-oriented series myself, though. Which surprises me as well. Berserk is probably the best fantasy series I've read so far.

[eternalmetal]

Bastard sounds a little too hardcore fantasy to me. Its just that I was looking for something adventerous and cool, with a bit of fantasy elements.

I have seen some of Beet the Vandal Buster's anime, and I have to say it was dissapointing. Characters were one dimensional and it was too straightforward, I stopped after x episodes.

So anyways, thanks for the suggestions.

Since I made this post, ive read Ichigo 100% (all 19 volumes) and kind of need a bit of relaxing from manga for a bit. Even though it was a shounen, it was kinda emotional to me (how lame, lol).

[Ehllychan]

Huh... I'm not sure if I'm doing this right, since it's my first time asking for anything, but I dunno where else to ask for help with this. I've recently taken a liking to manga adaptations of games I like (again, thanks to my brother. Sometimes I wonder if I'd be such a manga fanatic if I wasn't his sister...), and I've been searching for the mangas of Tales of eternia, Radiata Stories and Legend of Mana. I did get some results, but I was wondering if someone can help find a place where I can get more of those mangas than what I could find with Google, even if it's RAW.
What I got was: Tales of Eternia up to Volume 05 chapter 24, Legend of Mana up to Volume 3 and Radiata Stories: The Epic of Jack, just the first 4 chapters. Is this really all there is on the web? I'd deeply appreciate any help at all. Thanks a lot.

[tokuroka]

I was scrolling along the forums, and I'm sure that this has been posted before, but I wanted to narrow the search down from just a romance manga. Uhm, as posted in the subject I was looking for a good "Long" romance manga 100+ chapters? Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks. And yes, I know I've made a thread before similar to this, but I was just looking for updates ><

Thanks to Azurel. Sorry for such a late thank you, I wasn't monitoring the thread. T__T

[Sorata]

Well let´s see, there are two kinds of Romance manga:Shonen(with male lead) or Shoujo(girl lead), i prefere shonen but i read Shoujo as well.
I will put here my favorite ones by preference order.

Shonen:
1st * Unbalance X Unbalance(46 chapters - On going)
2nd * Haru yo Koi(68 chapters - On going)
3rd * Suzuka(166 chapters - Complete)
4th * Ichigo 100%(167 chapters - Complete)
5th * I´s(15 volumes - Complete)
6th * Video Girl ai(15 volumes - Complete)
7th * Rough(1 volumes - Complete)
8th * Pastel(14 volumes - On going)
9th * Open Sesame(14 volumes - On going)
10th* Yume de Aetara(8 volumes - On going)

Shoujo:
1st * Lovely Complex(8 volumes - On going)
2nd * Nana(18 volumes - On going)
3rd * Good Morning Call(11 volumes - On going)
4th * Hana Kimi (23 volumes - Complete)
5th * Karekano(Complete)
6th * Uwasa no Midori-kun(13 chapters - On going)

[tokuroka]

Hmm. Lol First of all, Thanks. So leaving out the ones that I have read already, that leaves..
quite a few :D I have read Suzuka, Ichigo 100%, I's, Hana Kimi and Kare Kano, but I do think that Suzuka was my favourite out of those. The thing is, I like reading completed manga so I don't have to have the terrifying wait for however long the next chapter takes to arrive.. read 5 minutes, and then have to wait again XD. But if possible, can you tell me if any of these are similar to Suzuka?

[Sorata]

Video Girl Ai is from the same mangaka as DNA2(don´t know if you already read), are both good mangas, the story is from the same style as Suzuka but with a bit of SciFi(but just the introduction), well the ones that are more like Suzuka are Open Sesame and Pastel but those are not completed. My favorite one Unbalance X Unbalance is a stroy about a student and his teacher, very very good.
I know of great completed shonen romances but shorter than 150 chapters lolol:
DNA2(the same mangaka as video girl ai)
Parallel(this one is very simillar to Suzuka but it´s only 5 volumes)
Fruits Basket(it´s good but the main point isn´t the romance)
Touch(the first great work from Rough´s mangaka, but i still find Rough better)
School Rumble(the same as Fruit Basket, great but the main point isn´t the romance)
Ah! Megami Sama(is good but a bit cliché)
Meteru no Kimochi(a bit echi manga with only 27 chapters)

The ones i said up there only School Rumble isn´t completed.

There is a 2 volume manga by the same mangaka as Ichigo 100% very good but i can´t remember the name, is about a kid who falls in love with a succubus who breeds on his life force all the time.

[tokuroka]

Alright, thats good for a few days :D Thanks a bunch.

[mewtant_x]

I do read a few game-based mangas, but they are from female-targeted manga magazine B's Log, not shonen's ones. Strangely there is one manga, Togainu no Chi, which is quite off from female manga and closer to shonen or even seinen. There is no BL in the manga that the PS2 game is classified under, but has its share of violence though.

[Ju-da-su]

If you are talking about the game manga as you mentioned . . . (meaning ToE for one. That's the only one I know) . . . then yeah, that's all.

If you are talking about other game manga, NO! I got lots more than that! (yep, since I am translator for game-based manga, especially Tales series and occasionally Kingdom Hearts as well, I do have lots of RAW to translate with) I can ensure you that more can be find than what you have. X3

Search, search, search . . . even though I'm going to tell you that Google didn't help me much with Tales series manga, I would say, just give in more effort. X3

[Miken-chan]

Eternia v5 c24 was released by Cabbit a while ago (becire they split), and Boku-tachi has not decided to "skip" to 25. So for ToE, you'll have to wait until Boku-Tachi catches up (which will take a while).

I'm pretty sure there's no other group at the moment that scanlates ToE...

[Exodus53]

I remember a manga that I read longgg time ago (10 years?) but I do not remember the name so if anybody can help me I would reallly really appreciated!

its about a boy finding a dog that is half dog half wolf, he then puts the dog in a series of fighting matches against other crazy dogs. One fight scene I remember is him having to fight another dog that had a rock? implanted in his forehead so that he can hit extra hard but at the end the dog lost because the half wolf had knocked the rock out of his head. the half wolf half dog also have a bulldog thats missing a leg and a eye as his friend...


soo... anybody??

moved from General Discussion
[hr]
bump

[eni]

Hm...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoshihiro_Takahashi
Only Mangaka that would come to mind when it comes to several Manga about dogs and dog fighting, also involving wolves and northern (wolve-like) dog races as protagonists. Plus, the Ginga series are classics in some western countries since over ten years.

[Exodus53]

thanx! the manga is called Shiroi Senshi Yamato .... now does anybody know where I can find the scanlation of it??

[eni]

There's none :)

As far as I know, not a single series of this Mangaka is scanlated and Ginga Densetsu Weed (http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=9918) is the only one published in English, imho. But you can find the Anime of Ginga Densetsu Weed and Nagareboshi Gin, subbed by ASD (http://www.asd-fansubs.com/?page=projects).

[hatsuharupeace]

I'll see if I can find some raws of it, Exodus, so that someone nice can do a trans for it.

[Exodus53]

thanx for all the help! I remember reading all of it in chinese when I was little but after 10 years my chinese reading has gotten very poor to the extend that I could only read my name in chinese... haha sad... I know..

[eni]

If you want to polish your Chinese, then maybe it's worth to look for Chinese scans. The scene there is pretty active as well and has a lot of Manga for offer that are missing in English.

[Exodus53]

where can I find them?

[eni]

I don't know. I can't read Chinese at all :p

It was just an idea, since the Chinese scanlators have a lot series online which where published in Chinese at some point. Usually easy to find when you know the Chinese title. I just looked but can only find the Japanese one, sorry.

[tbl]

Hi, does anyone have any suggestions for manga with an awesome male protagonist, that's preferably finished and is seinen (though shonen is fine to)?
I have read or am reading Parasyte, Gantz, Battle Royale, Ubel Blatt (really liked the preceding), Bleach and Superior. I will be reading Berserk and Blade of the Immortal

Heres a list of awesome male protaginists from Anime (and manga incidentally)
Rurouni Kenshin - Kenshin (both Battōsai/benevolent hero personas)
Trigun - Vash
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya - Kyon
Kanon 06 - Yuichi
Clannad - Tomoya
Kaze no Stigma
GetBackers - Ban-chan
Hellsing - Alucard
Black Cat - Train Heartnet
Gundam Wing - Heero Yuy
Code Geass- Lelouch Lamperouge
Death Note - Light
Area 88 - Shin Kazama
Bleach - Ichigo
Gundam Seed and Seed Destiny - Kira. Arguable, but he does have his moments, especially in Destiny.
Tokko - Ranmaru Shindo
Gantz - Kei Kurono. The anime ended before Kei really stepped up, also he wasn't as much of a pervert in the manga.
Full Metal Panic - Sousuke Sagara. He's awesomeness in combat makes up for his awkwardness.
Gurren Lagann - Simon and Kamina
Fullmetal Alchemist - Edward Elric
D.Gray-man - Allen Walker
History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi - Kenichi. Just makes the list.
Spiral - Narumi Ayumu
Darker than Black - Hei
Bakumatsu Kikansetsu Irohanihoheto - Akitsuki
Devil May Cry - Dante
Gankutsuou - The Count
Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni - Keiichi (especially Kei)
Sōkyū no Fafner: Dead Aggressor - Kazuki Makabe

Thanks.

[a_nevels666]

Dark Schneider from Bastard! obviously,
Hanma Baki (Grappler Baki)
Bunshichi Tanba (Garouden)
Tsukumo ( Shura no Mon)
Ryo Narushima (Shamo)

[tbl]

By leads, I meant lead. I'm looking for pretty much any good manga, that is easy to find on the internet and is preferably completed. The only criteria is that the protagonist is male and is awesome (so no stupidity, pervetedness, etc.). It would be nice if it was seinen.

I have read or am reading Parasyte, Gantz, Battle Royale, Ubel Blatt, Ares, Hellsing, Highschool of the Dead, (really liked the preceding), Shin Angyo Onshi, Bleach and Superior. I will be reading Berserk and I don't really like the guy from Blade of the Immortal

Kekkaishi. (http://mangahelpers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6109) At first glance it looks like any other shonen manga out there, but keep reading. It's ongoing, though.

I know three good Seinen:

Leviathan - a bizarre protagonist.
MPD Psycho (Multiple Personality Detective Psycho) - protagonist with multiple personality.
Jiraishin - the protagonist more son of a bitch I know. He's a coldblood detective.

I'm looking for suggestions for shonen that do have romantic relationships or hints of them developing between usually the main characters and others. Can't say I've read tons of them, but I've read some and enjoyed them more than straight action shonen.

Merges with an older thread^^

[Emery]

Anyone know of any good horror manga that have scanlations available? I just finished reading "Gyo", and I was thuroughly impressed. I find myself wanting to read more horror, preferably something gruesome like "Gyo."

Short stories and long series are both welcome. So, MH, help?

Try looking for Uzumaki. It's by Junji Ito, the same author of Gyo. Uzumaki is totally fantastic and creepy.

[Emery]

^ Thanks. I'll grab it from #lurk.


Any other suggestions?

[shego]

Presents by Kanako Inuki, ignore the fact that CMX is publishing it, it's really good. Also Mantis Woman by Senno Knife and anything from Hideshi Hino.

[GGpX]

Dragon Head.

But that becomes mostly suspense after the first volume and a half, but it's still very good.

[Ahzzy]

the dreaming

[molokidan]

MaliciousWire, a new group dedicated specifically to classic horror manga, just released the first chapter of Orochi, so go check it out :]

[Nami]

I thought Manhole and Higanjima is quite horror - maybe that's from a girl's point of view. Anyway, it spooks me. :s

[killridemedly]

Me and the Devil Blues (dark, not gory though)

Blue Heaven

Alive

Dorohedoro

Dangu

Shin Angyo Onshi

Vinland Saga

SIDOOH

BLAME! (or anything by Tsutomu Nihei)

[_Zac_]

I've seen 10 episodes of the anime but can't find the manga anywhere (net or reality).

Does anyone know where I could find it(other than Japan)?

[mokney]

One manga has some but are missing alot of chapters

[tradedaemon]

Goth and pretty much anything Catepillar did, though I don't think they're around anymore

[shego]

Kazuo Umezu's Reptilia is in stores now and it's quite good.

[Smartpal]

Could anybody recommend a new manga that is good..cos I need something new to read :amuse

[zidane]

Do you want a manga that is finished already, or one that's still ongoing?

I would recommend you Embaling, from the new SQ magazine...it's at chapter 2...
and since it seems that the 3rd SQ is out, the 3rd chapter will come out soon...

SQ is but just monthly :(

and there's Psyren - it's on chapter 5 and it's weekly...

but generaly i'd recommend Hellsing! - but well, i don't even now which genre you prefer...

so, how if you'd tell us your favorite Genre first?

[Smartpal]

I would prefer action with a bit of comedy.. btw: I'm already reading Psyren :eyeroll

[gdupninja]

Are you reading Fairy Tail already, if not then you should check that out as soon as possible.
Blade of the Immortal is also very good.

[Smartpal]

yup..already reading fairy tail :P..I'll check out Blade of the Immortal

@zidan21ps can't find any threads on Embaling.. :(

[zidane]

that's because i've written it wrong :D

it's Embalming - Another tale of Frankenstein...

[Fenrir]

lol. It might be more useful to also mention what manga you're currently reading too. That way we know what you're not reading yet.

[Smartpal]

Well I'm not reading much, but I read:

1. Fairy Tail
2.Psyren
3.One Piece (I'm still on vol.12 lol)
4.666satan

[sealla-song]

I think Gakuen Alice is OK....

[Ichimaru Gin n Tonic]

You could also try Vagabond, Eyeshield 21, Bleach, 20th Century Boys and Monster. Those are awesome titles. :D

[Smartpal]

yeah..but they're all really ahead..I'm having trouble catching up with OP as it is..started reading 666satan cos it only has 76 chapters..

[ToBo]

Hello all!~~ Happy new year. I have been coming to mangahelpers since about a year or two ago but never used the forums (T.T) and i am in need of help.

I have become addicted to delinquent mangas such as GTO and WORST and i was wondering if there were any new/scanlated mangas that are such as these titles. I live comedy and action infused and not just the violence. I hope somebody can tell me some good titles. Thank you and have a nice day (b^.^)b

[lomami]

Hi ToBo the first answer that comes to my mind is AKIRA, it's the first manga I read (a looong time ago) and also one of the best in history! You can also give a try to classical material such Rokudenashi blues or sanctuary if you like yakuza(I only know about the old stuff...). But I admit it's hard too find a baddass like Onizuka!
Bonne Année à tous!

[tehgrim]

you might want to try reading GTO (great teacher onizuka), its pretty funny and it's a change from the actiony manga. Kekkaishi and Mx0 are sorta new but good, both are ongoing

GTO -> 200ish chapters
Kekkaishi -> 114 chapters scanlated so far
Mx0 -> 70ish chapters scanlated if i recall

[tehgrim]

Yeh, i want complete reading a series with whatever time i have left of my holiday. I've read quite a few series already, which i'll mentiion at the end of the post. My taste's are towards action, adventure type manga with a little comedy in it.

series ive read/ reading:

- One Piece
- Naruto
- Bleach
- Eyeshiled 21
- Hunter x Hunter
- Kekkaishi
- Mx0
- Vagabond
- Berserk
- Gantz
- Ruroni Kenshin (read long tim ago so i forgot how to spell this properly)
- Basilisk
- 666Satan
- Air Gear
- Detective Conan (ive only read p to 43rd volume)
- D. Grayman
- Fairy Tail
- Flame of Recca (only tried it and didnt like it)
- Hajime no Ippo
- Battle Royale
- Prince of Tennis (i stopped at chapter 300 or so)
- Bowling King (I read whatever was on onemanga at the time)
- Yakitatte!! Japan (chapter 194 i think)

theres probably some more i missed but this is probably more than enough to get the jist of it. Thanks for any recommendations ^^

[eternalmetal]

Basilisk - Crazy ninja fighting and such, I never read the manga but its supposed to be better than the already good anime.

Eternal Sabbath - Maybe a bit too seinen considering the rest of the manga you enjoy, but is very interesting nontheless. A bit psychological, but is definitely fun to read.

Death Note - I am sure you have heard of it, but its definitely top class stuff. Mystery/suspense at it's best.

Black Cat - Definitely an excellent shounen. Considering the rest of the manga you read, this one is high on my recommendations. If you saw the anime and was a bit dissapointed, the manga is a whole lot better. I couldnt even get past episode 6 of the anime. Super confusing and hard to follow.

Getbackers - Havent read it, but I hear really good things about it. I watched about 15 episodes or so of the anime and it seems like it would make a better manga. Typing this makes me want to reconsider watching or reading it.

Full Metal Alchemist - You must have forgot to add this to your list, definitely a must watch if you enjoy manga at all. Its still ongoing, but it is absolutely necessary that any fan of anime/manga see/read this.

Rave Master - If you enjoy Fairy Tail, it couldnt hurt to check out the mangaka's previous work. I only read the first 4 volumes, but it was fairly good. Not ground-breaking, but enjoyable for a shounen title.

Shin Angyo Onshi - Its not finished being scanlated, but it is technically complete. This is probably in my top 2 or 3 best manga of all time list, up with Vagabond and Gantz. Incredible art, equally great story, plot-twists, etc. I know how you feel about reading unfinished manga (I almost always never finish them, so its mostly all I read anymore either), but I just had to throw this one out there.

I think that should be enough recommendations for now. All very enjoyable manga, I am sure you will enjoy at least one of them. If you need summaries, I am sure you know of animenewsnetwork.com.

[SabiQ]

alot of mangas these days can see sport/gangster =p

e.g. Slam Dunk the main character is an ex - gangster (or still is to a degree)
also Rookies

[zidane]

yeah..but they're all really ahead..I'm having trouble catching up with OP as it is..started reading 666satan cos it only has 76 chapters..

that's not a problem! it's an advantage!

and start Naruto, dude!

[decadencia]

MONSTER!!! its awesome!!! damn, it seems we read all the same series! :D

[GGpX]

I can now finally suggest the two One Missed Call mangas. (http://mangahelpers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=24011)

[Nami]

Haha...true, One Missed call is scary. There was a jap movie on it and it's freaky, though i guess some of you may have seen the english version already.

*goes to check the manga too*

[ikuroi]

Shonan Junai Gumi
Crows
Overall the Champion manga seems to have alot of deliquents manga...

[kazuma_uzumaki]

read genshiken

[DragonMoonZ]

Yeah i definitly recommend Illuminati's Dragon Head! Am a big fan of dark manga's myself

[ikuroi]

Slam Dunk, GTO, Angel Sanctuary, Zan, King of Hell

[ikuroi]

Worst, best serie out there right now!

[Gr1mmy]

I'll second Black Cat. It's seriously quite good. No reason not to read it. Fits your taste as well.

Hmm..... Maybe Katekyo Hitman Reborn, but it's not complete. It also doesn't get too interesting until chapter 60.

[Gr1mmy]

Hm...

Maybe you should try reading Katekyo Hitman Reborn. Read past chapter 60! Trust me, it gets a whole lot better from there.

Also... Black Cat. Very good shounen.

[hatsuharupeace]

If you like sports mangas, try out Suzuka. Really nice shonen series. It's all about athletics in the beginning, but later into the story, it becomes more of a love story. But it still is a really good series. Try it out.

And if you like the works of CLAMP, try out CCS.

[ejib]

where can i find gyo?
i've read uzumaki. it's weird but frightening.
[hr]
oh yeah, i recommend 7 seeds and ex(dont know wheter it's the real tittle..).
both about surviving in a post appocalypse world

[Ulgen]

Hi @ all
I'm searching for a good manga which completed with only just 1 volume! I mean the whole story should be released in just one book and not more. Is there a good, exciting manga it could be a shonen or seinen but definitely not shoujo...!

Please post some names and a short info about them because I want to buy one!

[saadku]

Hi

Can someone help me find The Devil Ororon also called Akuma no Ororon and The Demon Ororon



Thanks in Advance
[hr]
They might be scanlated by FTP but i could not find any of their chapters
[hr]
FTP is scanlation group

[LadyHatake]

I assume you're looking for one shots, then? Those are typically one long chapter for the entire story. I don't really know of any 1 volume mangas, though. :/

Your best bet is to go to the R/T/S forum (http://mangahelpers.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=128) and sort by the prefix "One Shot." You can also go to the Old R/T/S Threads forum (http://mangahelpers.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=419) and sort by the prefix "One shot" there, if you're looking for quick reads =)

[Ulgen]

Thank you very much for your help! I hope that there are also one shots which are very long to read. The only thing important for me is that if you buy just one released book that you have the whole story in it. So it is handy for me because it takes so long to wait for releases and everything.

[sabaku_chou]

Newest CLAMP's work, Kobato.
Its genre are Comedy, Seinen.

Synopsis:
Hanato Kobato is a cute girl who has a mission: fill up a mysterious bottle she carries with her in order to grant her wish. For that mission, she's counting with Ioryogi's help, a little blue dog who seems very cute but who has a terrible foul mouth and bad manners. Now, Kobato-chan has to heal the people whose hearts are wounded. The only problem is that she doesn't really know how to do it. The more people/hearts she heals, the more her bottle fills itself. She only needs to take care to not fall in love with the person she's healing.
For what purpose Kobato needs to fill that bottle? Who sent her for this mission? Will she succeed?

Do you like it?

Takahashi Tsutomu's series are:

Alive!
Angel's Share
Blue Heaven
Dead Flowers
Jiraishin (His most famous series thus far)
Skyhigh(and sequels) - Personal favorite
Tetsuwan Girl (His only sports manga)

All his series are seinen so there will be mature situations/scenes.

[Schwindelmagier]

I do not know if you will like it but if you want to read a poetical, cute, lovely, sad and funny manga, I recommend Chobits from Clamp.

If you wanna read a manga that seems to fit better to your already listed series in my opinion, then read Peacemaker (resp. Peacemaker Kurogane) although it will be hard to find it online.

Another series: Death Note.
It suits more to the claims of youths/adults.

[Emy]

Black Cat is good =x

[Succubus]

try Fuan no Tane aka. Seeds of Anxiety

anyways kiseijuu is not extremely horror, but it's great manga! one of my fav..

[Schwindelmagier]

Rurouni Kenshin is an action manga with several funny scenes (all the oro-scenes make me laugh out loud xD). Since it's already completed... it won't be a problem to buy it anywhere or maybe you can read it online somehow.

[Emy]

comedy and action?
can't think in anything better than Gintama XD
it's hilarious

[igotthegoods]

i'd suggest FMA. there's some good comedy in there and the story is excellent :)

[decadencia]

Black Cat is good =x

i just read black cat and i agree, it is good!

[Samih]

Im am currently or have recently read the following series. Bleach, naruto, one piece, DGM, fairy tail, rave master, hikaru no go, death note, black cat, hunter x hunter, shamn king, yu yu hakaso, and a few more i cant remember...

Blk cat, HXH, rave master, and hikaru no go were my favorites.

Care to recomend a good manga that you think i would like?

(As you may be able to tell, or not, i dont like mangas where bodies are really outa proportion and i really really really love the mangas with great art work)

PS i say were to HXH cause i consider it over seeing as i havent seen any new chapters (Correct me on that if im wrong)

PPS Anyone have or is interested in transtating Rave master? because i have all the raws i just dont have any scans past 26(?) i belive.

[Toost Inc.]

Rave Master did have some questionable artwork in especially the first volume tough :p

Also it isn't as much in the lines of the manga's above but you might like Katekyo Hitman Reborn! In the beginning it's mainly just (a medium-core) comedy plot but it gets better later on...

not really similar either but maybe the closest to Death Note is Monster which also is centred around a cat and mouse game same as in Death Note, but approached very different. Masterly written tough.

Also Full Metal Alchemist is quitte good, can't really pinpoint the best aspect of it so I'll just say everything ;)

Speaking of good artwork recently started is Deadman Wonderland with some really nice work and a good story as well :p

[Franckie]

Since you've listed shounen series, here's a few things to consider:

Air Gear
MxO
Katekyo Hitman Reborn!
Case Closed
Deadman Wonderland
Fairy Tale
Flame of Recca
Fullmetal Alchemist
Hajime no Ippo
Gintama
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure
Slam Dunk
Great Teacher Onizuka

[ibra87]

Katekyo Hitman Reborn!
Case Closed
Deadman Wonderland
Fairy Tale
Flame of Recca
Fullmetal Alchemist
Hajime no Ippo
Gintama
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure
Slam Dunk
Great Teacher Onizuka

I'd also recommend Fullmetal Alchemist and Slam Dunk. If you're the type who just loves humor then Gintama is absolutely a must, but I would recommend watching its anime first if you have the time since the seiyuus are just excellent.

And if you are willing to read good manga, I'd also recommend Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle. At first it might seem somewhat childish and boring, but believe me it's worth it. And along with TRC goes xxxHOLIC. Mant don't find holic any interesting on it's own, but they read it since it explains some of the things in TRC (and it does get pretty interesting later on :)).

Just my two (long) cents.

[hatsuharupeace]

If you like a lot of action, with some blood and gore, you should try Gantz. X/1999 is also really good, loads of fantasy action set in modern time, with tiny bits of gore in it.

[igotthegoods]

i'll jump on the bandwagon and also recommend fullmetal alchemist. it's one of my favorites.

two others not mentioned yet that i've recently gotten into are claymore and ES21 :)

[fkeidjn]

Tried reading Kekkaishi yet?

[Maxy Barnard]

if you want humour you can't go wrong with Yakitate Japan. action wise something like Hitman reborn would be suited. Or head into Seinen and check out Gantz and Zetman

[abu_89]

ooh... Yakitake Japan.. :) .... you should try out new genres of manga... you might end up liking it. I started off with ES21 and then found Naruto & Bleach & One Piece... then Love Hina, and now I read everything.. :|

On second thoughts, you might wanna prioritize which series you wanna read or you might end up reading all of them like me.. :P

[TheGenius]

Just read Gyo, pretty good! I'm about to start reading Tomie, which is from the same author, that dude is creepy!

Bonjour ,
Tu pourras trouver les 2 premiers chapitres traduit par "Eternal-Blue" ici
http://shoujo-crusade.com/forum/index.php?topic=737.0

[Nantalith]

Ha ha - I was going to suggest 'Black Cat' as well. 'Akira' is old but good as well, 'Death Note' has nice artwork. Basilisk is awesome, even though it is based off an anime. There are some manga adaptations of 'Samurai Chaploo' and 'Cowboy Bebop' which are funny but I don't know what's up with them in terms of one shot or not.

There is an awesome Batman manga called 'Child of Dreams'. It's done by Kia Asamiya.

[Krelian]

hi, im looking for good seinen romance mangas. So far i've read

honeymoon salad
bitter virgin
blood alone
Toshiue no Hito
and some others i cant seem to remember at the moment.

thanks in adanvance

Try "Ohikkoshi".

[Emy]

Katekyo Hitman Reborn! is a good manga to read :3
I got very addicted in this serie :3

[Krelian]

thanks ill give it a try

[Franckie]

Here's a few which comes to mind.

3x3 Eyes
B-Shock
Elfen Lied
Mysterious Girlfriend X
Unbalance x Unbalance

[Vato Loco!]

Read Ai-Ren. It's an amazing romance manga, and one of my most favorite manga that I've ever read.

[llee8820]

I'm not sure if this is the right spot to post this, and apologize if it isn't, but i can't seem to find the right thread.

Anyway, I just finished reading Ichigo100% and Suzuka, and was wondering if anyone could suggest a similar manga for me to read next. To be more specific, I would like it to be more of a school setting, preferably high school or college, please no vampire or fantasy setting, ecchi is also ok. The plot should be similar to the two manga above, where a guy is surrounded by girls and don't know which one to pick. And preferably if the series was 50+ chapters.

I also read love hina. Thanks for the help.

moving to correct section ^^

[LoktarOgar]

Somebody should merge the suggestions threads....they're spreading like the virus in Blame! !

I think you mean Biomega but OK >_>

[Paper]

GTO is great! :D

[TheGenius]

I get confused...Nihei-san mangas are alike, I read too much and can't discern them!

[TheGenius]

Blame - Very weird sci-fi but with style.
Ichi the killer - Exremely violent but really good.
20the century Boys - A classic
Monster - One of the best manga I EVER read.

They are all completed.

[Emy]

similar?
Well... there is Hatsukoi Unlimited, I's, Parallel, Pastel, Open Sesame, UnbalancexUnbalance, Girls Saurus, Ai Kora, Umi no Misaki, Umisho, Gacha Gacha, Inu Neko Jump and maybe Nagasarete Airantou...


I didn't read everything, it's not a style of story that I like, so I'm not sure, but these ones seen the type you are looking for.

[THE KING]

Get Backers, excellent art with style. Great story too.

Battle Royale, violence to the extreme. Adulterated Contents.

Bad Company and its two sequels, Shounan Junai Gumi and Great Teacher Onizuka.
Bad luck at women for the delinquents.

Sports, Eyeshield 21 and Captain Tsubasa.

[admirenkiwi]

you
should
watch
MAJOR! :darn
the best sports anime made! :p
baseball man :hearts
it starts out while hes a kid, things happen, then it gets more interesting later when hes all grown up and live for the love of baseball!

[DemonDays]

Everyone else seems to be recommending Hitman Reborn!...so i will as well!! It has a pretty slow start, but have faith, it's a killer series.

Also if you haven't read it already you should try Kenshin. A must for anyone who reads manga.

[Franco]

i want to know if this one manga has gotten farther along in its scans because when i read it, it was really good but with few/non-frequent/differing groups/ scanning it

I dont know about my description but this is from what i remember.

A young girl whose normal, wakes up one night/morning (forget) and finds her whole family slaughtered with her the only one alive with minor injuries (maybe a head injury i don't know, or it might have been she had none, also i think she thought she died like got sliced in half?). It just so happens that the police suspect her and put her into a secret prison cell. She finds out she killed her family with some monster that lives inside of her that reacts to emotions.

So thats as broad i can get without getting to far into the storyline, i can mention certain arcs within the series if needed and see if that helps people.

And no it isn't kiseijuu(parasite) which is also a really great manga but in that one the thing in the person is a seperate entity

if u need more specifics, she ends up working for some researchers that help her understand whats happening to her and not go mad and let it take over her, and so she hunts similar monsters and a few chapters later she finds out the monsters shes hunting are like her, but they weren't able to repress the disease

Yeah thats right it affects her right or left arm only

[bax]

Hmm.... Variante?

[Franco]

damn.... right on, good god ur good, how do u guys have the time to visit all the threads? especially cause its finals week, well for me it is, just got out of differentials

have scans for it stopped? did CMX make peeps do it, cause i see on onemanga they say something about that

[admirenkiwi]

shounen fan eh?
well, i just finished reading tegami bachi, and deadman wonderland. both were recommended by bax. they were GOOD! :D
so i recommend them too.
if you decide to read shoujo, read skip beat! and basara. the best shoujo's out there! :whoo
i totally recommend Gundam Seed and Gundam Seed Destiny (anime) to watch. I Find It different from the rest of the gundams that doesnt catch my attention :p

and...i'll come back next time if i got some more.

[Harun]

I'm on the lookout for any kind of manga that teaches the reader concepts and base rules as they go along. (I've seen Akagi and Ten by Nobuyuki, but they assume that the reader knows the rules beforehand.)

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers,


Thread moved to another board.

blood splattering and limbs flying... Have you tried Elfen Lied?

[Succubus]

try Tokyo Akazukin (http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=1597)... story is pretty good

[hatsuharupeace]

Lol, seems like no-one has mentioned Gantz yet, that one definately fulfills all your criterion.

[Ramen4ever]

Jiraishin, Madbull 34, MPD Psycho, Battle Royale, Ninja Scroll .. Not the best out there but quite decent. You may want to check Bastard! and Black Lagoon out as well.

The series(Battle Royal I) was removed due to the TakeDown request by Tokyopop. I have the whole thing though.

EDIT: And yes, the second one sucks!

Im looking to read the manga Saiyuki I havent read it in a long time, specifically the one where Goku fights Hakkai, if you can help thank you

[AriSuper]

I was wondering if anyone could share some more good titles of any "realistic" manga and/or manhwa?Actually, I'm thinking more on the way that they are drawn(I mean more realistic,other than the usual manga/manhwa style)
Something like Dangu, Banya ,Blade of the Immortal , Vagabond, Vinland Saga ,Akira; you know,stuff like that:)

[ibra87]

Well, you have Berserk. It's drawn in a realistic way and its story is pretty realistic for the first 13 volumes (not sure about the volume number) except for some parts. After that point of the story it becomes all fantasy but the style is still the same (though the chances of you not knowing this manga is slim).

[Sarkot]

Hi guys, i'm looking for some good single volume stories or one shots to scanlate them for my scanlation group, so i request ur knowledge of the manga world to tell me some good single volume/short/one shot stories. I'm specially looking for comedy stories but you can suggest mangas of any genre except yaoi,yuri and hentai :tem

Well, i guess that's all so i'll wait ur answers. TY

[Unok]

Some oneshot raws (http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=46c6981409a4e8534012e8015643d9c86421d95764931f7d), maybe you will like something.

[AriSuper]

Yeah I did,thanks anyway.I presume it's hard to see what I'm thinking off.I need the info on manga that are draw with the attention for realistic anatomy,and body movement.

example:berserk - has a huge sword ,is around elfs - fights monsters but he looks human - he doesn't have 3feet tall hair and a super long face.He looks more like an european(the really good ones-not the cheap crap[stuff from Kordei,Hermann,...] comic than a usual manga(not that there's anything wrong with traditional manga).

[TheGenius]

A beautifully drawn manga is Homonculus, by the creator of Ichi the Killer. It's really good and the plot is plausible...even though they...well see for yourself!

[Azurel]

there's Saiyuki, Saiyuki Gaiden & Saiyuki Reload. I think Mangacity did Saiyuki so try finding it on mirc?

[Luckas]

Check here (http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=2803) for info.

[genjutsu]

Hey I was wondering if anyone know of any fighting type mangas that are like kenichi or Aiki. I would prefer not just any action type manga, but ones like kenichi, where they fight fists to fists using martial arts and other techniques. Also not looking for sword fighting/magic based mangas (ex: vegabond, fairy tail, SDK, etc), but I wouldn't mind just a tiny bit weapon based though. If anyone know a manga like kenichi or Aiki out there can u please introduce it to me? thank you!!!!!

[AriSuper]

Nice one man,thanks a lot!:D

[hatsuharupeace]

Hmm.... Don't know many fist-to-fist fighting manga... Have you tried searching MangaUpdates (http://www.mangaupdates.com/) yet?? You might be able to find something that you're looking for there.

Oh, and can a mod move this to the Otaku Cafe? Thanks.

[Maxy Barnard]

I'd like to reccomend legend tower, by the 'our hero studies' guy, but.... for the life of me the raws hard to track down now. maybe someone knows where it is.

[TheGenius]

Pleasure, thanks to xi0 for this one :p also!

Did you find anything else?

[Unok]

Indiana_Mcemo: if you are looking for the raw of Legend Tower, then see the link in my previous post.

[StrangerAtaru]

I sort of want to see your copy of "Katte Kita Hentai Kamen" but it was removed according to your Mediafile status. Can you get that reuploaded?

[Unok]

Reuploaded here - http://www.badongo.com/file/9733860 . Every time I upload it to mediafire it's get deleted.

[StrangerAtaru]

Thanks. I'm seriously thinking of reading Hentai Kamen due to this and I just lost my copy of it. Personally though, Kobayashi has a couple better character designs than Ando did.

[One Eyed Sharingan]

try Kotaro, Kotaro Makaritooru, Kotaro L

[Succubus]

Martial Arts?

Ikkitousen, Battle Club, Change Guy, Shamo, Sumomomo Momomo, Karate Shoukoushi Kohinata Minoru, Tenjou Tenge, Ultra Red, Zippy Ziggy, Tekken Chinmi series and Grappler Baki series.

[AriSuper]

No ,nothing new ,but I wasn't home(away on a music fest.(VipIn Music fest) for the past few days).But I'll star "roaming" the net ASAP!

[Imitorar]

He asked for a fighting manga, and there were 3 posts before Dragon Ball was mentioned? For shame. Dragon Ball RE-INVENTED fighting and shonen.

[TheGenius]

Cool, I'm curious to know what is out there.

Dunno is you checked but there is also Monster that is the best I EVER read, and 20th Century Boys. Both classic by the same mangaka.

[Sarkot]

hey! ty for the raws unok,but how i'm supposed to choose any of them if i can't read japanese, lol. i was asking for ur opinions,if you have read some good one shots or short stories that you would recommend me;not a huge collection of raws. i could probably choose some of them because of the art,but all about plot,etc... would be a mistery for me xD.
anyway ty.

[Alan Smithee]

I promise that this series (http://mangahelpers.com/forums/showthread.php?p=895807#post895807) will be everything you are looking for!

The fighting really develops as it goes on all hand to hand combat very detailed and clean drawings... bloody though!

[Pirulito]

Angel Densetsu
Hokuto no Ken (also called Fist of the North Star)
Ultra Red
Shamo
New Grappler Baki
Basilisk
Bamboo Blade

I'll review it later!

Yes. I'm reading that. By Nobuyuki Fukumoto & Kawaguchi Kaiji. Two great seinen mangaka in my opinion.

You should try "Confessions". Its a 1-volume manga by both of them.
Plot
You know those situations when people confess their darkest secrets before dying? Right, a guy in a similar situation confesses to murder. Only to find out that
a) He's not going to die
b) The only guy who heard his confession is his best friend
c) The two of them are isolated in a cabin far away from civilisation
d) Both of them are driven to paranoia.

I also recommend "Spirit of the Sun" by Kawaguchi Kaiji.
Plot
Japan gets hit by a series of natural disasters and the government is crippled. In response, China & US began occupying...,"giving foreign aid" to the nation. The story takes place several years after the incident, with a Japanese refugee in Taiwan who lost his memory.

Volume 1 is the prologue might be a bit overwhelming. The real story starts with Volume 2.

[Yabe]

What about Masanori Morita's works:


This is from Rookies - there're great motto here and there through the story and they gave me such an inspiration, so, I really recommend this one to you.

http://img34.onemanga.com/mangas/00000414/000037891/08.jpg

Most of his stories are heroic-style like (maybe you've heard of his famous Rokudenashi Blues?) but his drawing is very beautifully realistic.

FYI: His recent work is Beshari Gurashi - it's five-volumes manga about the boys who dream to be a professional joke-teller. I haven't read it though, but I saw his realistic drawing improve a lot.

--
Also the works by Tsukasa Hojo (he was Inoue Takehiko's mentor), his past famous works are City Hunter and Cat's Eyes. The drawing wasn't quite realistic in both stories, it has just started to get awesome in any work after City Hunter.

With him I recommend F. Compo and Angel Heart.

Hojo's lines in Angel Heart:

Hope you really get what you're looking for!

[TheGenius]

Thanks guys! I'll check it out!

And I've looked for Confession on the web, but no go, where did you find it?

[futureking]

http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=7199

Confession has been scanlated quite a long time ago. So its hard to find unless you know how to use irc.

[AriSuper]

this is awesome ,thank you all I'm have the perfect excuse not to study,I'll be busy for a week at least!:D

[Kaim]

Hi, I'm looking for a manga similar to Death note. The thing I liked most about it is the mind games and the darkness of the series. So if you know of any manga that is in the same genre I would really appreciate if you would share your knowledge with me.

[Succubus]

Lost+Brain (http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=20117)


This is the story of a very smart student called Hirama Ren who is used to always getting the top results in his school, and is the chairman of the student's council. One day, he walks past a group of bullies and asks them to leave--and because of that, they decide to teach him a lesson. They decide to beat up a couple of guys and they reported it to the teachers, blaming him.

Hirama becomes enraged by it and and so he decides to attain some power that could allow him to change the world to a world that he wanted...one without such pathetic people..the people who hides from responsibilities, look for shelter from others when in trouble, etc.

Coincidentally, his vice-chairperson called him and asked if he was fine with her inviting a hypnotist for some event at school to hype up the school population. He thought it might be THE ability that he was looking for, so he agreed to it. During the "trial" test of the hypnotist's ability, he set up some plan and later on used it to test if hypnosis was able to hypnotise people who were avoiding it. With his new found knowledge, how will Hirama use this new power to reshape the world?


too bad it's only one chapter has been scanlated >_<

ah I forgot...

Liar Game (http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=3296) is very good manga

Why not stickied a Seinen suggestion thread?? I think there is a lot of them popping out everywhere.

This works. But the 8 pages drown out some lesser known ones which I know are good. (I actually took the time to read all 8-9 pages) So thats why no one uses them I suppose.

The occasional underrated series will appear and drown beneath the hundreds of posts in one thread. If there are 10 pages of suggestions, people will read say pages 1-3 or pages 8-10.

So, anyhow. How are the ones we recommended? Any good?

I've looked for Confessions on Manga-sketchbook and manga-screener with no luck. I think I'm gonna hit back IRC...

[janggut]

hi, hello & how do u do? :)

this is my first post here in mangahelpers, so please excuse me if i happen to make any mistake. :)

talking about Shigurui, u can find out more atWikipedia. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shigurui) if u like to read the first volume, u can download it via Kotonoha's website. (http://kotonoha.monkey-pirate.com/ongoing-series/shigurui/) i think they've done a very good job scanlating the series that is so difficult to get. just like many other seinen series such as Ichi the Killer, Blade of The Immortal, this one is as violent as any seinen series can get. however don't let the gore deter u from enjoying its art, storyline, historical fiction settings etc. if u like Samurai Executioner & Lone Wolf and Cub, u'll definitely like Shigurui. deep! :D
