Hello :)
Going with one at a time:

i just want to ask do you like reading horror mangas??
Not particularly. I am interested in it, but only if it is a part of a good mystery, otherwise it is boring to me.
devilscorner said:
If so, have read already Ibitsu??
I did, I just rechecked it now. IMO rather than scary it is just an annoying waste of time but as I said earlier I'm not into horrors and since mystery in Ibitsu was very poor I judged the whole thing only on that basis. If you like horror for the horror itself then
maybe it will be to your tastes but personally I don't recommend it.

And can you recommend me some Horror manga/manhwa ( i mean the one's that would make you want to pee at some point but can't go to the bathroom ^...,^)
Sorry, when I was little I was scared like that because of the "Alien" movie but it was decades since anything made such an impression on me ^^
I can recommend a few titles but remember that I always based my score for them on factors other than horror so I can't guarantee you will find them scary enough.
Ghost Hunt

I mostly like this one for its good mystery but out of all the recommendations this is the only one that made me feel a little uneasy at some point (a story from volumes 6 and 7).
Also this is a shoujo manga but it can be just as well read by guys so don't dismiss it based solely on this genre ;)
Berserk
http://myanimelist.net/manga/2/Berserk
Part of the story (mostly volumes 4 to 10 which were adapted to the anime) is set in a dark but otherwise classical medieval setting, the rest is a
very dark fantasy with tons of demons and evil spirits (though the MC is always struggling and fighting against them so I don't know about the scary part)
Kiba no Tabishounin: The Arms Peddler
http://myanimelist.net/manga/24450/Kiba_no_Tabishounin:_The_Arms_Peddler
A manga that begins very much like Claymore with a badass woman picking up an orphaned little kid and traveling the world with him. The story is set in post-apocalyptic world with the elements of a western that make it somewhat similiar to Fallout or Mad Max, only in here in addition to usual bandits, slavers and the like there are also undead, curses and some strange monsters lurking around.
6000 - Rokusen
http://myanimelist.net/manga/30603/6000_-_Rokusen
I just read it today ^^ Again, I picked it up for the mystery but I think that the horror may be good too. The problem is that out of 4 volumes only 2 + 1 chapter were translated so far and the translation is on hiatus (or maybe even dropped)...
Mail
http://myanimelist.net/manga/4260/Mail
A collection of short horror stories connected by the main protagonist, doesn't stand out much but isn't bad either.
Kaibutsu Oujo

The main story can't be clearly defined as mystery or horror but many of the various adventures are definitely this. You just have to decide whether or not you are interested enough (or determined enough) in the rest of the manga to read through it to get to the "good parts".
devilscorner said:
and is The Legend of Maian fun/cool to read??
IMO yes. The story starts more on a silly side but it slowly gets better (and more serious) with time. The art is good, the fights are cool, the story is interesting, the girls are prety, what more there is to ask for? ^^
Two warnings though:
First, though the story starts out as a shounen that just slowly gets a little more serious at some point (you will know when) there is a sudden shift that pretty much turns this manhwa into a seinen (the story, art and girls are still great and the fights are even better but the plot has heavier feel to it). For me this was a change for the better but I know that some people were disappointed by it.
Second, the manhwa is on hiatus for some time now (about a year I think), there are some unconfirmed promises that the next (15) volume will appear this year but it's hard to tell how much trust can be put into them. Then again the author Im Dal Young declared this manhwa on hiatus without officially axing it (like he did without hesitation with Re:Birth and several others) so maybe he really does intend on picking it back up (it is next to Freezing and already finished Kurokami one of his few long-running series).

i just notice you put tsukihime on your fav manga, i just want to ask is the ending of the anime and manga the same, if not please don't tell me the ending of the manga,
It is the same and then again it is not... I know that it isn't much of an answer but according to your wish I don't want to spoil anything ^^ Also if you liked the anime I recommend this manga very much. It covers mostly the same story as the anime but it also adds a lot of scenes that weren't animated (some of them weren't even in the original VN but surprisingly they add to the story instead of ruining it) and it is simply better.
To put things in perspective I think that while the VN has the best and most complete story (it has 5 separate routes with 9 different endings (not counting the bad ones)) the manga is the best when it comes to telling the Arcueid route as a stand-alone story. In turn the anime (which btw gathers ridiculous amounts of hate among hardcore fans of the game, to the point where they even deny it existence) is IMO good but weaker than both the manga and the VN.

and after tsukihime is worth to read Melty Blood and X?? its says here on MAL it's a sequel but is it a direct sequel???
Kind of. The story of Melty Blood isn't a clear continuation of either of the routes from the game but rather it is set as if the Big Bad of Tsukihime was defeated but otherwise nothing much has changed (all the key characters are still well and in the city and they are at undefined friends-but-not-lovers relationship with main character). It would be impossible to put it as a proper sequel to the anime or manga without rewriting much of the plot but once you swallow the holes in the continuity you can easily grasp what the new plot is about.
As for the quality of the manga itself - it is weaker in both story and art that Tsukihime but still good enough to be interesting. I must mention however that what is displayed by MAL database as a single manga was originally two separate ones, one to which I was referring to above (first 6 volumes) and a weaker sequel to that (the remaining 3 volumes). I can't tell you anything about Melty Blood X because I'm waiting for the translation to finish and so I didn't read it yet.
Hmm, I think that was all. Give me a shout if I forgot about something ^^
