| A while back I had begun reading G Senjou Heaven's Door, which fits into the seinen demographic quite nicely. I don't know about how good of a manga it is (haven't finished it, only 13 chapters scanlated), but it is certainly memorable. It is an interesting take on aspiring mangaka and that feeling of powerlessness of growing up. |

| In light of becoming the "Series of the Week" at Mangatraders (I admit to it being old news, but I had forgotten about this series), I say we should add Honeymoon Salad to the relations. To be honest I don't get the name one bit (not that I understood my last suggestions name), but it has to be one of my favorite slice-of-life, somewhat dramatic type of seinen, and not because of the sex. I would just head over to the hentai genre for that. Another one too: Usagi Drop. A josei about a man who takes in his grandfather's illegitimate child. It is still in early chapters, but I can't be any more enthusiastic about it. I was initially expecting a more Kramer vs Kramer type of story, but instead it tackles this serious subject in a very cute, charming manner, and focuses more on the growing of both the child and guardian. (so far, at least) |

| Rawr, more. S.S. ASTRO: Asashio Sogo Teachers’ ROom. I picked it up today. It is a yonkoma very similar to Azumanga Daioh. It just focuses on the teachers. Think Yukari and Nyamo's own manga. |

| Nothing to do but post here, it seems. Another series I had forgotten about: Imouto wa Shishunki. Another 4koma, but practically everything is a sex joke. Enough to prevent you from reading it around others, but it isn't fanservice. |

| I remember that one. I imagine it's something TheWanderingEye would be familiar with. |
| Hah! |

| I just saw the first two episodes of "Kurenai". Im totally surprised. Although the characters are "children", the story is definitely not for kids. Could it be "seinen"? |
 |
| I'll admit that the first few chapters of the manga (I have not seen the anime) seemed like it could become a more adult-oriented manga eventually, but then it just fell into such ridiculous harem shounen stereotypes that I would have to say no. Then again, the anime could be different. |

| i still say Romeo x Juliet should be in relations >3> am i the only one here who watched it? lol |
| @Takai I saw it too. Its a moving show and due to the rather "mature" end it could be considered as an anime for grownups. But its not my decision... :P @Palimpsest The Website "AniDB.net" is classifying both "Kurenai" and "Romeo x Juliet" as seinen. But I dont now if that means something... Just finished "Kurenai". Its definitely meant for adults!! |

| Thanks for putting Kure-nai in the "anime relations". ^^ By the way: What genre is "ef - a tale of memories/melodies" ? |
|
| i think Eternal Sabbath is a seinen manga, even though MAL lists it as shounen >.> |
| Next anime I would like to be considered as seinen: "Casshern Sins" ! It reminds me of shows like "Kino no tabi" and "Kaiba". :] |
|
| Kilico needs to be added to the manga list |
 |
| Could you add Legend of the Galactic Heroes to the relations? It's very serious with extremely realistic politics and mature characters. |
     |
| Shigeshoushi (josei). |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
Antanaru said: Shigeshoushi (josei). Ah, that's another title I need to finish... Anyway, I concur. This should be added to the relations list. |
  |
| Amanchu! New manga by Amano Kozue. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| Given that it's published in Comic Blade and several of the titles there are listed as shounen, I'd rather wait for a few more issues before inducting Amanchu!. |
| There are some seinen manga that are missing from the relations: Jiraishin (and all of Tsutomu Takahashi's works) Sanctuary Zipang Zetman |
 Current Avatar: Sawako from Kimi ni Todoke |
| Strain Crying Freeman Me and the Devil Blues |
| Fujishima Kouske launched new manga as well so maybe we can expect new seinen like Aa! Magami-sama. Paradise Residence looks so alike that I thought at first it might be just a spin-off ;] |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| Here are some manga titles I think should be added to the relations list: Franken Fran Golgo 13 MW Ode to Kirihito |
|
| Hotaru no hikari - josei manga |
 |
| 20th Century Boys Seinen |
| Zettai Shounen is seinen. (along with Twin Spica) |
| A few things I've read recently that I feel qualify for the club. Undercurrent - http://myanimelist.net/manga.php?id=12585 Octave - http://myanimelist.net/manga.php?id=10846 |
 |
| I suggest adding Me and the Devil Blues to the club relations. |
|
| Any chance of Evangelion getting on that relations list? The first few episodes make it look like typical shounen, but it's really deep later on, and has some really realistic characters and conflicts. And it definitely makes you use your brain. |
 |
| Added. If anybody's got anything against that, there's the other thread. |
| I think Bradherley's Coach should be added to the manga relations. It's one of the most violent and disturbing seinen manga I've read in a while. It tackles a few important areas like institutionalized crime, gang rape, society's (or these who control society) sacrifice of those who are most vulnerable for the sake of stability, ect. |
 |
| What about "Eden of the East"? |
|
| I suggest Gekiga Hyouryuu. |
|
| I'm going to re-suggest MW and Ode to Kirihito. Both titles examine psychological themes that you would not find in many manga and take a deep look at humanity. Frankly, I think these titles are way more suitable for the relations list than those titles that are currently being contested. I also think A, A' should be added to the list. I know that this manga was published in a shoujo serial, but this was published at a time whenever there were no josei serials. This series intelligently looks at human emotions. |
|
| DoLL, a manga with an interesting premise of a woman who decides to live with a man who used to be her teacher. Many things are unclear at the current five scanlated chapters, but I'd say it certainly fits in here. |

| Oruchuban Ebichu josei |
| i would add Black lagoon and sequel to the list as well as ef- a tale of memoriesl |
| "Cesare" should definitely be in the manga column. |
 |
| Cool, finally found this club I was looking for. It's hard to use the regular rating system to get clean recommendations, it's full of kids who give a 10 to Deathnote, Naruto and harem crap. [just for the record cause I don't want any misunderstanding, I'm not saying that of you give a 10 to deathnote you're a moron or a brat. But there is a fact: if you're 13yo, deathnote is your third manga, then you're bound to be like "wow it's so amazing" and give it a 10. Many people do that => the rating system is biased towards something that does not correspond to me. That's all.] I've gone through the list and would like to recommend these: 1- Anime http://myanimelist.net/anime/1483/Master_Keaton (may be better in manga, but I haven't had the occasion to read it) http://myanimelist.net/anime/578/Grave_of_the_Fireflies : tough movie http://myanimelist.net/anime/593/Infinite_Ryvius : even though the characters are all kids (well, teens), I found interesting the different approaches they have regarding Power (or management, it depends on the approach). Can't say more if don't want to spoil. http://myanimelist.net/anime/253/Jungle_wa_Itsumo_Hare_nochi_Guu : well at first sight it's cute and funny. Right. That doesn't make it good for this club. But I found quite more, especially in the "what's really important in life" line. It's more an underlying thing. http://myanimelist.net/anime/1033/Millennium_Actress http://myanimelist.net/anime/160/Now_and_Then_Here_and_There : I like the way the stupidity of war is pictured. 2- manga http://myanimelist.net/manga/664/Akira http://myanimelist.net/manga/1695/Adolf (there's a lot from Tezuka that we could put on the list, y'know) http://myanimelist.net/manga/668/Appleseed http://myanimelist.net/manga/768/Battle_Angel_Alita : Go beyong the shounen / action part of it. There's a nice part about the uniqueness of minds, the meaning of freedom in such a harsh world and so on http://myanimelist.net/manga/11415/Birdman_Anthology (Tezuka is God) http://myanimelist.net/manga/1600/Black_Jack (and he rules) http://myanimelist.net/manga/1111/Buddha (did I tell you Tezuka is the best? this one is a must-read, my friends) http://myanimelist.net/manga/3258/Harukana_Machi-E http://myanimelist.net/manga/2179/Heads http://myanimelist.net/manga/651/Nausica%C3%A4_of_the_Valley_of_the_Wind : amazing work by Miyazaki. For those who have seen the movie, READ IT, there's a lot more in the manga. http://myanimelist.net/manga/2961/Satsuma_Gishiden : historical manga that I highly recommend if you're interested in feodal Japan I hope you guys find something that you will like in this small list. |

| Manabi Straight! (anime and manga) should be added for the time being, as it has a similar tone and is serialised in the same magazine as Kamichu. We can debate its merits as a seinen series after we include it. I'm on the fence on this one, having only seen the anime, which gives out mixed messages regarding its target audience. Although it doesn't have a manga, I think it's safe to assume that Windy Tales is aimed at a Seinen audience. Also add Aoi Bungaku and Kuchu Buranko from this season's anime. If we go off which magazine a manga is serialized in, then [url=http://myanimelist.net/anime/6030/Needless]Needless should be in as well, although I think it is a highly questionable addition, but as with Manabi Straight, we can leave that discussion until after it is added. |
