I think that Sanctuary is pretty "hidden". 1,000+ members is nothing compared to the 30,000+ people that are reading such series like Naruto and Bleach. Plus, Sanctuary is an older series that I believe many people might not have been exposed to. Great choice!



Yes it hasn't been featured yet. At the time that we were going to feature it, we were already featuring too many supernatural/sci-fi series so I decided against it just that time just to add some more variety in the choices, plus were were only having a featured series every 2 weeks (not every week like it is now). Just be patient, it will get featured soon enough. I love this series too and it's definitely deserving of it = )



Red River is another great choice!

I'm new, so I don't know if I'm doing the recommendation right, but here it goes:

I'd recommend Mademoiselle Butterfly ( Drama, Historical, Romance, Shoujo). I'd describe it as a typical historical shojo manga that becomes sad only when it needs to, is a little predictable, and has a perfect ending.

I also suggest Glass Mask ( Drama, Romance, Shoujo) as it has a very unique main character that not only dedicates herself to acting; she gets absorbed in it, she can find solutions even for the hardest trials if it comes to acting.

X-Day by Setona Mizushiro. It's a really good pyschological thriller that noone seems to have read.

I would say let's feature "Iron Wok Jan"

Why? Because it's not read by many people and because it should be read. It's no love story at all though, but I still recommend it. I only read 12 volumes so far, (like a year ago) but I still liked it. (it has humor)

It's about a man, named Jan Akiyama. (he is so unexpectly an amazing character I have ever came across) Jan wants to pursuit his dreams of winning everything that involves food. (or cuisine) He is working in a restrurant and has many rival in the cooking world. He fights everyday with the other chief and even though he doesn't own the restrurant, he acts like he does. (By the way he was force to work in the restrurant in the first place.)

This guy can cook some odd food. (I almost threw up reading this one recipe I read in the manga) I still recommend it. That is all I can really say.

Welcome!

Well, we don't usually feature short series like Mademoiselle Butterfly but I'll look into it ^^

Glass Mask seems like a shoujo classic (and it's still ongoing) so nice choice!



For 2 volumes, X-Day was pretty good. In a way, you could kinda relate to how some of the characters felt.

In the end . . .


@paigy_loli: That really seems like a hidden gem so very nice choice!

Oh if 1000 people reading manga is hidden I am going to recommend one of my personal favorites- Angel Densetsu .It is Comedy, School, Shounen and one of the best I have ever read.The main character is very memorable :) I could write a lot about this manga,but in my eyes it's a MUST READ.

Second thing that I think is truly a hidden gem is Watashitachi no Shiawase na Jikan It's Drama, Romance, Slice of Life, Seinen and I was touched by it's story.

Angel Densetsu sounds interesting, especially since it's by the same mangaka of Claymore (a manga that I love).

Watashitachi no Shiawase na Jikan seems like another nice one since it's by mangaka Sumomo Yumeka = )

i would like to see jiraishin i think its one of the best suspense, drama, mature, seinen, action manga of its generation. The characters are all unique and they way it deals with life and a bunch of other things. but yeah i really think it should be featured

I don't think one work by Tezuka has even been mentioned. Just to throw it out there, but Buddha. Currently reading it and not too far in, but its wonderful and unique among all manga. For some reason, he is barely known outside of Japan but luckily his works are being published in English and increasing his popularity.

^ Buddha is a great one.
I'm also going to say MW, Ode to Kirihtio, Phoenix, and Astro Boy, which are all underappreciated in America.

I suggest that A, A' should be featured... or heck, anything by Hagio Moto, that woman deserves way more love outside of US.


I rule agains featuring Iron Wok Jan...

I just finished the whole thing yesterday and it didn't really go anywhere. the food just got weirder, Kirikos breast didn't stop to grow while her waist just got smaller, the characters got zero development, Jan didn't stop being a jerk and it took like 2 volumes to finish the judging of the final tournament while the actual ending got a coverage of like 2 chapter. I am really disappointed at how this turned out. It was pretty entertaining at times but since it didn't develop at all so it kinda felt like a waste reading all 27 volumes.

"Dear my girls" is a shoujo manhwa with an absolutely amazing art. That´s my suggestion^.^

Think I'd like to throw a shout-out for Club 9 and What's Michael?, both by Makoto Kobayashi. Sadly, I can't seem to find either of these online and Dark Horse never even bothered to finish printing volumes 4 and 5 of Club 9 in volumes edition (although they did print them in Super Manga Blast!), and What's Michael? can just be a bitch to find (except volumes 10 and 11, which are fairly easy still). Anyway, I really enjoyed what I got to read of both of these series, hope they get considered!

maybe one month we can do a hidden gem one-shot? If so, I reconmend, "Island"

I also reconmend "Antique Bakery"

I definitely recommend Kimi ni Todoke to be featured, even if it waits in line or for my b-day or valentines or something!!!!

If we're still all over short series and need a seinen to show next, Seizon -Life- should be considered

even though it only has like 500 or 600 people that have read it, watashitachi no shiawase na jikan is amazing. I'd recomend it to anyone really.

How does Kekkaishi have less than 2000 ratings? I nominate this one for feature, if you ask me, it's easily one of the best shonen series this decade.

A good josei series would be "kimi wa petto".
So far it looks like only one Josei series has been featured, plus i really like this series. An woman keeps a younger man as a pet. Kinda sounds like a bad hentai or ecchi series, but its not.

For shounen I'll second whoever suggested Angel Densetsu.
It's a pretty entertaining series for whoever likes shounen type mangas.
