Favorites Best COMPLETED Manga that you have read...

[LB56]

I just finished Ichigo 100% the other day. It has a very compelling story once you get past the first few chapters, and the mangaka does a very good job of making the reader sympathize for the characters. From a content standpoint it's very similar to Love Hina, but it's a tad more realistic. I also like the ending to Love Hina better than that of Ichigo 100%. It was a great story for 166 of the 167 chapters, but the last one was one of the biggest "WTF!?" moments I've ever seen in a manga, but I'm a little bit biased. Nevertheless, it's a great story with beautifully done artwork.

Spoiler

I can't believe Manaka chose Tsukasa over Aya. She set everything into motion. If she hadn't fallen off the roof, Manaka would have never talked to Tsukasa, he wouldn't have gotten into his high school of choice, and their would be no freakin' scripts for his movies! Then you get 150+ chapters building up to her confession only to have Manaka say can't return those feelings, because he's already with Tsukasa. Then he breaks up with Tsukasa four chapters later only to get back together with her at the very end. I'm sorry, but I just needed to vent.

Ichigo 100%

Spoiler

Yes i agree with LB56 that was not cool how he chose nishino instead of aya that kinda made me sad and depressed xD

Ketchupacket, if you liked Ichigo 100%, then I strongly recommend I"s. It's a little bit raunchy for my taste, and it takes a sharp turn toward the surreal at the very end, but it is a beautifully drawn and written manga. Perhaps most important is the fact that the ending didn't leave you wondering if he just drew scenarios out of a hat to write the final chapter. No disrespect to Ichigo, but c'mon!

Best completed manga i've read:
Death Note. Why? It's simple. The story is superb, and I think that Kira and L are two of the bests manga characters that were created!

Slam Dunk, best manga ever, in my opinion...

 

[descendant]

Psychometrer Eiji - nice artwork and story (you'll like it if u're into detectives kinda story + supernatural) although the ending is.. somewhat abrupt, i wish there's more of it

Great Teacher Onizuka (GTO) - funny, inspired me during my school days (highly recommended for those who hates school )
Fruit Basket - meaningful story
Death Note - nice storyline, filled with things to think about
Island (manhwa) - very nice artwork, too bad they decided to end it as it is

Any reason why those are the best completed series you've read? Any reason I (or anyone) should try them and find out for myself?

Best completed manga I've read is....DEATH NOTE!

The story/plot was amazing, it had a unique story which was just fantastic. Even after the death of L, there were good developed characters and not to mention the art was just unbelieveable. Everything about this manga was just brilliance. The manga even relates to real life problems which was just wicked, and the suspense was just..wow. It had really smart/intelligent storywriting as well as characters. Seen as I'm a Light fan, I wanted Light to win at the end of the day, he came so close but...meh

The second best completed manga is Black Cat. =D

[Kaiten]

It's tied with Monster!! Nice. I'll have to read it soon, it looks really good.

 

[Rainier]

Deathnote and probably ES21.

 

[benelori]

My all time favourite is death note and that will only change when naruto will end probably. But death note is fantastic. The tactics thinking logic, it's all awesome, furthermore L is the most amazing character ever. I certainly would like to read manga similar to death note, if U know any pls let me know.
Also ghost in the shell, good philosophy.
I like mangas which demonstrate deep thinking, ideals,etc
