Hangout Manga Wars 2017 - Hangout

[Lady pompom]

I'm quite surprised no one nominated Saint Seya, but the list has so many great mangas

 

[Brandish μ]

I'm looking forward to reading the discussions of the ones I've not heard about, and maybe I pick them up

​

Spoiler: Others I would nominate

Akatsuki no Yona

Skip Beat!

Holyland

Planetes

​

@Brandish I just noticed this but your sig creeps me out, especially when it suddenly changes to something else

 

[Erinyes]

@Brandish the one i need to read definitevely is your nomination, heard so much great stuff about Punpun (and Solanin too) also need to pick 20th century boys and Vinland saga (it's been a while i wanted to start them... but procrastination and stuff... ) there's also Mugen no junin but unfortunately i came accross Bratherley no basha 1st and found it so disturbing and disgusting, so now im reluctant about it.

@Shobu_Yoruichi yep it's great and the author is a huge fan of Urasawa and Araki he said in an interview he's inspired a lot by Urasawa's work so, it can't be wrong yep pliiiiz support TPN

 

[Organizized]

We've got a impressively all encompassing list at this point. The only manga I can think of that deserves to be on there, at least in my opinion, that isn't yet is Great Teacher Onizuka.

Good job everybody!

For me there's still Planetes, Mushishi, Space Brothers, Real and, while we're at it, Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind. Probably even more..

It's from my nomination (sorry). I use a sig rotator gif and it randomly changes the images, there are 7 all up.

Those are all good Solanin at least is short.

Indeed, that's a very high quality list. I think SS is more special for us south americans tho xD (same way it always shock me how Love Hina isn't a big deal out there).

 

[Organizized]

Oh man... Love Hina was one of the first Shojo series I tried (the only other manga reader in my year in "upper secondary school" lent it to me). I do not have fond memories of it... (Sorry Farfs.)

 

[Farfalla]

As in it being bad or just some association you have with it? I think it's solid gag material xD (altho I think that School Rumble and Fullmetal Panic are better ones).

 

[Jammin]

I can understand that. There are tons I like. Though for me what's left is all stuff I wouldn't put on the same pedestal as much of what we've got nominated. Like Dungeon Meshi, Kimi ni Todoke, or Superior. Almost everything I would rate that high has already been nominated.

 

[Demonspeed]

Someone should nominate Dungeon Meshi .

EDIT: Just saw Jammin's post .

Well.. both. But I was like fifteen at the time, I wasn't exactly its intended demographic..

Though I did read Nana back then and found it pretty addictive.. don't know why. I liked the "rock band" side of the story. Then I found BECK, and Nana wasn't as good anymore. (Still probably the Shojo manga I liked the most though.)

 

[Farfalla]

Josei, JOSEI! xP

I rly think the story is very immersive, the chars have a lot of layers and you can actually notice development in some (main ones), it's easy for people to relate to a lot of things in it and some details of the animation (Ik it has nothing to do with this event) - like the fact they always use the same artists to record the OPs and EDs representing Nana (Anna Tsuchiya/Mika Nakashima - movie counter part) and Reira (Olivia Lufkin/Yuna Ito - movie counter part), make the whole thing super appealing to me^^

But I'll leave the tl;dr for the campaigns '-'

 

[Organizized]

Meant Josei. (Though I've seen it in Shojo Beat, I think).

Actually Nodame Cantabile is another good Josei. Better than Nana, I think, but haven't read either in a long time.

 

[Juliana]

I'm looking forward to reading the discussions of the ones I've not heard about, and maybe I pick them up

In that case, I highly recommend some short mangas: Hikari no Machi, Tom Sawyer, Nijigahara Holograph, Nigeru Otoko, Socrates in Love, Vitamin, The Wedding Eve, Kimi ni shika Kikoenai.

If you wanna kill yourself: The God's Lie, Hoshi Mamoru Inu.

FUUUUUUUUUCK

This is the third time someone took the mango I was going to nominate, and the vampire has to come back from the dead while doing it.

I was on the fence between that Biomega and Eden

 

[gnut]

It was either yuyu,dragonball and ranma for me...i will always have love for them.
These were the series that got me hooked...but yuyu turned me to a fighter fan.

Ranma is the series that got me into manga, along with some other stuff.

Classic Rumiko Takahashi.
I like inuyasha as a character...but didnt like the anime/manga overall better than ranma 1/2....ranma really crossed boundaries.

Ranma was one of the first manga I ever read after Dragon Ball, long before I really got into manga/anime for real. Still holds up well, too.
