the order doesn't matter, i like them all. I just ranked them by the order they popped in my head

 

[Roflkopt3r]

1. Nononono
2. Vagabond
3. Planetes
4. Vinland Saga
5. Berserk
6. Wolf Guy - Wolfen Crest
7. Tegami Bachi
8. Shigurui
9. Flat
10. Death Note
It's not necessarily in a specific order, even though I tryed. But at least the first 7 are too awesome for me to not get so exited about them, that I can't rank them anymore against each other.
De facto, these first seven pretty much change after every second chapter beeing released, usually I just randomly get exited for that one with the latest chapter release.

Did I reven read other manga than that? Oh yeah, there are four in my head which can't make it into a top list, even with 10 slots left:
-Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, Change 123
Naruto had it's chance, but the latest arcs ruined that

well I do not want to sound agressive but I think you're judging a little bit too much by momentary feelings. I respect your order but to say Naruto/One Piece doesn't deserve to be in your list just because you disliked some current arcs is a bit harsh and kind of unfair to the series. Don't misunderstand me, I do respect your opinion. It's just that I'm not able to understand your reasoning, maybe you could be a bit more precise why you think that those series don't even deserve to be in your list

No, I don't see these Shonen ever beeing able to recover in my perspective. They dropped in my opinion ever since I started focussing on Seinen - The advantages which the demographic of Seinen brings are just too big. To me, they make most Shounen (obviously there are exeptions such as Death Note and Tegami Bachi) just seem not attractive anymore with their often rather slightly naive or simplified worlds.

But after all this thread is about favorites and not dislike lists.
I think I'll add Oyasumi Punpun to it soon, despite it to be very weird and often depressing it still has qualities

10. Money Ace X -- aka M.A.X. This is a manhwa. Its about money or so. Has romance. Drawings are decent but some characters are weird.

Hint: this is just A list. I like all mangas I suggested here. I hope you read some mangas that i suggested... Most of them are shoujo.. and Most are still ongoing.

Least favorite:
Koko ni iru yo: I hated the end. It was a very unexpected ending.
And
Antique romance: I found this manga very weird. The drawings arent really what I call cute.

Some other mangas I recommend:
Dear my Girls-- Very cute manhwa!!! Same manhwa author that made a kiss to my prince. Very romantic?
A Kiss to my prince-- somewhat sad... But very romantic
Teachers pet-- Smutty, drawings and story is decent.

[jorped]

lol until now havent read those many mangas, but going on that path

1º-Naruto

why did i put Naruto on first?
cuz in my oppinion is the best shonen out there, Naruto since almost 3 years that i see it and i love it, the all story is just pretty damm good! Kishi done an amazing job with everything and for me until now havent see any character that beats the character that Naruto is, he is just awesome and a very rare type of person. i like everrything about him, althought not being very smart and even very skilled he always trained and try to fulfill is dreams and he had a very hard life and that made him the person he is today , the ones that never give up on his word and that first of all protect his friends withouth second thoughts. the all naruto universe is just crazy , somany awesome characters and great sotry and plots behind it.

2º-One Piece

it has also a great history but in my oppinion it can is not as good as Naruto but it is also great , so for everyone that hasnt read it, if you like fantasy , comedy read OP now

3º-Death Note
Death Note is great , it has an awesome story and characters like L are epic. In the beggining it is only good, not amazing but in few chapters you guys are going to pay 100 % attention to it cuz it is awesome to see the battle between genius , one of has his ideals and is going to do everything in he can to make that happen and in the other side it is genius that want to catch him. but one think that i have to say is that reading the manga is going to be a bit hard cuz you need to be always with attention so you can understand everything, but it will pay off . but in any case i havent watched the anime , but some friends of mine say that the anime is very very good , some of them say that it is even better than the manga. it is only 37 episodes i think , so i think in death note you wouldnt loose much if you decided to see anime instead of the manga.

4º-Fairy Tail
Fairy Tail is also great but in my oppinion obvioulsy a bit worse than Naruto and OP but it is still great, it is similiar to both Naruto and OP and for that i can recommend these manga to the people that read Naruto and OP and havent read Fairy Tail. It has a good story , good characters and for that give it a try

5º-Beelzebub
in beelzebub i am actually around chapter 30 but it is great. the story is basically a naked baby and a deliquent , so by this you guys can already get the idea that it is pretty cool and funny, so give it a chance , its going to make you laugh

6º-Vinland Saga
i am not much of a seinen lover but altough i have only read 10 chapters think i finded it great, i still dont know much about it, but based on what i saw it can give me the idea that it is pretty cool with a good art and also with a good story , so i will definetely keep reading it

for now still these is all i can do but when i have some time and i finish reading the chapters out of beelzebub and vinland saga i am going to try something new

 

[Roflkopt3r]

6º-Vinland Saga
i am not much of a seinen lover but altough i have only read 10 chapters think i finded it great, i still dont know much about it, but based on what i saw it can give me the idea that it is pretty cool with a good art and also with a good story , so i will definetely keep reading it

Vinland Saga has a lot more up it's sleeve. After all it switched to a Seinen magazine/Monthly release after a while. Especially in the arts you will notice the difference severely, after all one week (which was the release pace in the beginning before switching magazines) is a short amount of time to draw properly.
And, ofc, the story didn't really develop after just such a short time

My current toplist:
1. Kokou no Hito
2. Vinland Saga
3. Wolf Guy - Ookami no Monshou
4. Vagabond
5. Planetes
6. Chobits
7. Historie
8. Freesia
9. Berserk
10. Nononono
11. Tegami Bachi
12. Shigurui
13. Futari Ecchi
14. Death Note
15. Oyasumi Punpun

Kokou no Hito takes the top for pure awesomeness, great arts and atmosphere and delivering a nice depth of storytelling and characters.
Nononono dropping lower because of the later story arc developements. Not that I'ld dislike all story developements per se, but in my opinion Okamoto overstrained the limits of staging and arts which his style gave. It felt akward and not staged well.

No, I don't see these Shonen ever beeing able to recover in my perspective. They dropped in my opinion ever since I started focussing on Seinen - The advantages which the demographic of Seinen brings are just too big. To me, they make most Shounen (obviously there are exeptions such as Death Note and Tegami Bachi) just seem not attractive anymore with their often rather slightly naive or simplified worlds.

well that's a reason, I don't think that Shounen are simplified or naive per se but I understand your point. Still I wonder about "Tegami Bachi", it's not really a shounen with a great depth (but nevertheless a good manga!), so why do you make an exception for it?

My list in no specific order:

1. Naruto
2. One Piece
3. Hunter x Hunter
4. Monster
5. Death Note
6. Katekyo Hitman Reborn
7. Bakuman
8. Berserk
9. Vinland Saga
10. Kimi ni Todoke
11. Fullmetal Alchemist
12. Tegami Bachi
13. Deadman Wonderland
14. D.Gray-man
15. Liar Game
16. Soul Eater
17. Gantz
18. Medaka Box
19. Alive - The Final Evolution
20. Shiki

It openly accepts the childishness of the demographic and doesn't even try to avoid it. I think the whole setting has something beatiful about it, and it's not such a dogged and trying-to-be-serious battle story. Nor does it try to be deep -because it indeed isn't- and combines this with a lovely style of arts. Overall it has the feeling of a christmas fairy tale to me.
It's somewhat coming straight to the point. All this story about heart is pretty much what Bleach/Naruto/OP are, too, if you look at it. No realism whatsoever in these series, it's all about the protagonists succeeding when they're determined enough and bring in enough emotions to use enough powers. Tegami Bachi is the first one to tell this fact right away without disguising it because the characters shoot their own heart.
