They are both parts of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. Vento Aureo being the 5th and Stone Ocean being the 6th.

Overrated: One Piece, FMA;B to an extent based on what your OP says and of course Mushishi.
Yoshii Kiria took over as leader of Fairytale and rebuilt it and became one of Tsukunes formidable enemies but let's save that story for another time

Hehe, let me introduce him to you again, kid. This is Shuzen Issa (who is MIA during the final battle), who will become your 'trainer' starting today. You still have much to go if you want to become the headmaster.

Saiteihen no Otoko (#6709)

This one is severely underrated, because only 4 chapters out of 14 are translated in English. I've read the complete Chinese translation and it definitely deserves a higher ranking.

Mx0 (#480)

As much as I liked it all those years ago reading it, it is overrated. Everything is amazing... if the author had bothered to finish the plot. The story feels like half-done more than anything, and everything is left open and the ending is rushed. For a person who values completedness like me, this is the worst thing that could happen.

Please... Please read earlier posts and discussion directions and then post your own thoughts...

Please distinguish between over-/under-exposure and over-/under-rated (on MAL specificly).

You do realize that Beck is rated #32 out of 14000 scored manga, right?You are seriously not saying that is under-rated?

I do realize this is your first post on MAL... but please be on topic.

Personal preference aside Stone Ocean having much better translations available is pretty huge since many claim a lot of Vento gets lost in translation.

Also the Requiem stuff is a giant clusterfuck either way and should have never happened.

the only underrated manga I can think of is the basketball genre "Slam Dunk". you hardly see that here in North America.
unfortunately, you are talking about under-exposed again. Slam Dunk is ranked #12 on MAL.
http://myanimelist.net/topmanga.php
But yes, as far as I know, it was insanely popular in China.

At this rate, I might ask the mods myself to lock this thread. The number of confused individuals is frustrating.

How did I miss this? Yes Blade Dance should get more love.

Anyways, I might have mentioned this before in this thread or in a similar thread, but La Mosca is severely underrated, considering it is ranked at 5000's places. Ironically, I read La Mosca precisely because another person mentioned how underrated it was in a similar thread. How glad I am that these kinds of threads are made!

Kind of agree with SnK and Death Note. They are pretty good but not amazing. They are up there more due to their popularity and thus the ability to attract MAL newbie who rate 10/10s.

Haven't read the others, can't say much.

Underrated: Hnter x Hunter. Art is better, even if less detailed, than the other shonens, because it actually is effective. You feel the emotion.

Story is needless to say superior.

Scribbles= effective?
As much as I like HxH, I can't agree with the art being "better" when you're talking about the scribbles we got starting from the end of GI to the middle of the CA arc.
I'll agree if your talking about when Togashi is actually trying because he comes up with some creative styles of drawing through imagery and whatnot but there are also times when it's obvious that he just scribbles stuff on a napkin and submitted it to Jump. Like that one time where that Koala Bear dude looked like a tree, chapters were characters and backgrounds are hard to separate and when chapters had almost no pictures. I'm pretty sure most were done to meet deadlines rather than for some sort of "style". The published volumes fix the art so I'll have to buy some of those when I get some money. I guess my view on the art during that period of time is much different from yours so whatever.

OT: Rurouni Kenshin is underrated. I thought the manga is a lot better than the anime. I also think that Watashitachi no Shiawase na Jikan is somewhat overrated though I can see why people like it. I gave it a 7 so I still think it's good but I prefer the other manga in the top 10 over it.

Kenshin's manga is pretty underrated, much better than it's anime (which isn't bad but still)

Also as someone who owns HxH volumes 18-25 the art for the climax of GI is much better than the art in volume 19 when Gon and Killua are killing shit in NGL (the art there is just..meh, nothing unreadable, though), but the art for volumes 20 and on is pretty consistent. This is a manga that looks a lot better when you're holding it in your hands.

Yeah but the expressions they exude are so effective. Like I checked a few naruto chapters, and wheter they are angry or sad, all I see is some bishie face emotionless, it's really just pierrot doing all the work with music and such.

Overrated all the JOJO series, Assassin classroom and seven deadly sins are also overrated. All these manga are just average at best.

Underrated. Spiral, god ending, and shamo. My good these series are so good, deserve more recognition.

@TheAsianCobain The only reason kingdom is not getting the recognition it deserve is because of the shitty cgi the anime brought. If it was a anime without cgi, I'm sure it would get a lot more exposure. The anime failed to bring in new fans.

Overrated: Akame ga Kill, Attack on Titan, Fullmetal alchemist, Fairy Tail, Yu Yu Hakusho. All these series are pretty average imo, with nothing special going for them. Somehow people like them, don't know why.

Also, as much as I love Berserk, it hasn't been that good to warrant #1 for quite a while. And HxH is overrated aswell, because of the crappy art. The anime is so much better, which is something I rarely say.

Underrated: JoJo's bizarre adventure, but it's understandable since the art and comedy aren't typical ''anime style''. Rurouni Kenshin is also a bit underrated imo, the anime just didn't do it justice. Also Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo is underrated aswell. Dorohedoro is underrated aswell.

Although it was a series from the late 90s, I didn't read it until 2012. I can honestly say that this manga had me rolling with laughter in every chapter. Great characters, a plot that never kept me bored and did I already mention that this manga is funny as ****. I would recommend this to anyone who likes fighting and comedy but don't like out of place ecchi scenes.
