Any manga like this? I don't want to read a Manga before watching the respective anime adaptation; but i was feeling like reading more than watching lately... So i was wondering if there's mangas that never were turned into anime (and that are not supposed to have a anime later on).

Maybe what im asking is a bit silly,since ppl can't even guess if there will be an anime adaptation in the future or not..but any suggestions?
I was told that Nobless is pretty good and that it is supposed to be manga-only.

There is a huge number of manga that doesn't have and, likely, will never have one, if we reckon with the year of release in Japan. It also depends on the fame, I think not successfull series will never be animated, instead some other has only a live action version.
I took a glance at my manga list and here is a handful of complete titles: 20th century boys, Abara, Ikigami, Junk, Rookies, Sesame Street, Rocket Princess, but it could be longer. I haven't considered one-shots.
Anyway, if you want to read something, why do you care about the possible existence of its anime?

Because i prefer to do it that way, anime first and manga after. I'm more of an anime fan (partially because of the voices/music, something that manga doesn't have). Like that when i read the manga i have the character's voices in my head, their tone, even the background music depending on the situation. I don't really know how to explain it.... ._.
Anyway thanks for those suggestions, will add them to my list and read some in the next couple of weeks.

You could start reading the works of Asano Inio, who is far too progressive and confrontational in his writing to be adapted any time soon.

Well, I named some titles just to give you an idea of how simple is to find a manga without an animated adaptation, but if I had to reccomend you some good series then just forget most of the abovementioned manga. Between those I'd suggest you only Ikigami and Rookies, both between my favourites, but the second is centered around baseball and I don't know if you like it (if you do, then take a peep, you won't regret it). Among the ongoing series, therefore I don't know whether they will have an anime or not, I definitely think Vagabond and REAL are freaking awesome!

Liar Game will most likely never get an anime adaption and it's great.
I probably regret this post by now.

I took a glance on his MAL page, he got a few very good comments, i guess you may be right. Ill use him as future reference, thanks.

I did see the synopsis of each one and i liked those 2, was thinking about starting for Rookies in fact. Since you recommend it out of all the names you mentioned probably ill do that.

Works by Asano Inio (Oyasumi PunPun, Solanin, Subarashii Sekai)
Works by Urasawa Naoki (20th Century Boys, Billy Bat, Pluto) < he's the author of Monster
Shamo
REAL
Vinland Saga
Vagabond
Kangoku Gakuen - lots of vagina-shots in this one, there are too many that you'd be disgusted from them after a while. Other than that it has great comedy and great art, some psychological elements too.
