Popular manga you hate but can't help keep reading

This is not a flame-thread, it's a thread for posting up your personal opinion about relatively popular manga you don't like, but still reads it for some annoying reason.

I'm reading Gekka no Kimi and found it extremely bad. I like the other stories by the same author like Isshun no Tsuki and 1/3 Kareshi, but Gekka no Kimi I found terrible. I hate the main heroine, the plot and all the Genji-nonsense (I would like to point out that Hikaru Genji is a fictional character, so it's impossible for him to have a reincarnation). If the manga is going to add all characters and the scenarios from the classic novel, I'm seriously gonna get peptic ulcer caused by frustration amplified by the terrible plot and characters.

I can't understand why people can like Gekka no Kimi. I'd rather just leave it and never lay my eyes on it ever again, but I try to prevent my Dropped-list to exceed 50 entries and therefore, I will try to complete it. I only have like 5 chapters left, and I'm gonna read all of them. But untill then, I hate everything this manga has to offer. Gawd, what was the author thinking, and what was people thinking when liking this puke-causing manga?

Apparantly, I'm not the only masochist reading manga that makes my stomach turn over.

Well if Reborn is considered popular than I guess that will be my choice. But I dropped it recently because Naruto/Bleach/fairy Tale kicks it's ass LOL.

Hana Yori Dango. Extremely disappointing manga, I had to struggle through it to finish it.

Bleach. Nothing ever happens there except 50-chapter fights or whatnot. But It doesn't cost me anything to grab the scanlations.
It also provides a nice contrast to most of the other series I'm reading.

@ intergalactic Keep reading it. The overall manga is nice in my opinion.

As for me, it's to-LOVE-Ru, loaded with fanservice with no actual story in it. Damn, but I still keep reading it nonetheless. It's like I'm still expecting a story out of this manga.

I think Bleach is horrible. The characters are generic, the story is simple and repetitive, the art is nothing special, there's way too many power-ups and no one ever dies, plus it has more plot holes than actual plot. Oh, and the setting isn't too good either.
And yet I enjoy reading it. The anime was what got me into anime and manga and the manga only takes 5 minutes per week to keep up with.

Bleach and Naruto. I have no idea why, maybe because the anime has just gotten so utterly horrible that I've resulted in the manga to finish the story even though I really don't care what happens anymore.

As much as I love Hunter X Hunter, for a long while it just seemed like he was half-assing everything (drawing, plot, dialogue), and it really killed me to see one of my favorite series being destroyed because of some unknown reason for him not wanting to work on it anymore.

I haven't checked it out in a couple months, so I can't say my feelings on it now. Maybe that's what I should go do. :O

Ah, I got some new ones:

Bleach: Yep, all those long-assed battles, it was too much.
Naruto: I don't hate it. I read it because of fandom. Hate the canon, love the fanon.
Vampire Knight: Hate the artwork.
Full Metal Alchemist: The battle and plot is great. Art so-so. But the military-theme is boring.

Dragon Drive. This manga makes me die a little inside every time I look at it.

It's way too...kiddy, I guess, and large parts of the plot are way overused. I've only read the first 2 volumes, but I hate having uncompleted stuff on my shelf, so I guess I'll get the rest of it eventually. Or maybe I could just hide them... -_-

second this. just don't read series that I really don't like.
yeah, Bleach is rather boring with this battle's stuff but some details which pop up from time to time are still interesting.
planned to drop Gantz during that awesomely long Osaka ark, but when I've decided it, Oku began with interesting stuff concerning the origin of Gantz =)

Ichigo 100% but I'm not gonna continue it. I tried to because I heard one of my online friends is a fan of this manga. But, I tried reading it, and I found it so pointless, boring, and ecchi. I despise ecchi with a passion if there's no plot and its just random flashes. Gosh, I wasted a few minutes reading 5 pages.

And...Naruto. Its so overrated in both anime and manga. But, I'm curious as to how it will end.

Same actually. For the first 100 chapters or so it was brilliant. Funny, great plot, amazing art.
Now all this 'children' crap it's spewing is just retarded.

Kururu <33 And the art. That's why I'm still reading it. Plus I'm hoping and praying Oh! will pull a real winner out of this plot wise. Just something that makes sense would be nice.

For some reason i am reeeeeeally doubting he can do that.

I mean, he never fixed TenTen, i dropped that once it became retarded.

It's not that I hate Naruto, but I started disliking it after reading the first issue of Naruto where Sasuke absolutely takes over. Still I can't stop reading this crack.

I've recently been sucked back into Naruto. uggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg. Whatever at least it's getting semi interesting.

I also read Bleach.... I do not like Bleach. Half its characters annoy the hell out of me, the plot line kinda suck, there's too many swords, and they go super saiy... I mean use hollow masks, and resurrections too much.

Fruits Basket. I loved the beginning with all the humour and stuff and people being pwned but when it got down to the romance and "how can be break the curse" and you fucked him so I'm gonna fuck another woman gets sorta annoying. I just want to finish it to get it over and done with. But it was the lack of hardcore action that really got me annoyed.

Naruto and Bleach. I find both series have become quite horrible in recent years. I don't even enjoy discussing them much unless it is to point out the pathetic developments that have happened since their downfall.

I keep reading them out of habit and to see how they will end.

Bleach has become awful. Yet I still check up with it.

Air Gear another one. Not exactly sure what the heck is going on any longer.

Naruto is so-so for me, but I still mildly enjoy it, but not as much as before.
