shina_luna said: - Protagonist remains "humanly powerful" until the end and has to struggle thus. Just referring to body strength etc. Is also not encircled by a whole bunch of other folks, which are so very much stronger than him/her. - A very normal, actually pretty peaceful setting, but has a lot of despair in it. (So not something like a war situation or anything like that or where suddenly the world around the protagonists gets totally messed up in general.) - genereally a dark atmosphere that exists with a good reason, but still has said actually peaceful setting - cruelties, or even a very slight amount of splatter... while actually nobody really ever dies (through they may suffer) and while there is no stupid sunrising - Mostly complex, but not stupidly complicated character drama, no overdone tearjerker twists, no drama because folks are too stupid to talk. (In Hako Maria everbody knows about their trouble. They just find themselves utterly incapable to change anything about the situation, but try out of their despair that springs forth from the impossibility.) - Just a little bit, but not too much supernatural/fantasy elements. - Time loops - A couple that actually has mutual feelings for each other and, most of all, each knows about them and is sure of it, but as external reasons to not give into them, because that love stands queer to something else essential to the character Any ideas? Oww, that's really especific. Looking trough what you read, I can't really pinpoint something with so much things in common. If it's manga, compared to the novel you mentioned, I think Hoshi no Samidare would be interesting choice. Well it's about powers but the MC strong suit isn't his strenght and the dark seinen setting, psychological vibe is there(be aware that the synopsis doesn't accurately describes the story). |
| Hello, first time posting in this thread so please be nice to me :P Anyways i have read Mahou Sensei Negima, and UQ Holder, i loved them both, and now i am having a hard time finding something similar to UQ Holder. i have tried the MAL recommendation but didn't find anything the interested me, so i resorted myself to ask you people. Thanks anyways for any reply :) |

Thanks anyways for any reply :) How about Air Gear. It's similar to Negima, as in action, comedy, ecchi, and like Negima has some awesome battles later on. Also it has some funny Negima references in later chapters. |
| @Noxaniac I guess you need some light-hearted and long shounen adventure stories, you can start with the most popular ones. Negima recommendation section has actually quite a good choice and variety of those for you to choose (like Fairy Tail, Zettai Karen Children, Medaka Box, Hayate no Gotoku!, Beelzebub etc). Apart from those you can try the following ones: Shijou Saikyou no Deshi Kenichi, Nanatsu no Taizai, Soul Eater or Nurarihyon no Mago, Boku no Hero Academia, Kekkaishi, Noblesse. |
 |
| Konik and Toha, Thank you guys very much for the answers :) I am now re-reading Air Gear and boy it brings back memories :D, and ill try reading your other suggestions Toha :) Thanks again. |

| Am reading Pandora Hearts these days. Have had read it few and far inbetween for the last few years, but mostly saved the full reading for a good time, which is all soon to be over. Need some successor. >.< So again, while I know, that there isn't quite something really similiar including all that made it good, just wondering if somebody knows something good that's similiar to one of it's subelements - Rabbits! But just the theme, not real rabbits and also not too much Alice in Wonderland-nonsense rabbit, also no rabbit gets killed (as a rabbit), despite the setting being rather dark - Seeking out the past - Fake identities - anyway identity problems, but folks not getting too emo about it - conflicted characters: Wants to that, feels compelled to do the other caught inbetween that - there is somebody who does whatever he/she likes, but is strong enough to do so to justify that and also not too arrogant nor annoying. - good pacing of more peaceful scenes inbetween action and drama, without getting boring (i.e. have strong character building or giving out character methaphors.) - huge cast, where everybody gets to have their respective important role - eyecandy: a big selection of the most diffrent facial expressions or moods - probably also helpful in that: two identities residing in one person - Victorian Era-ish, with a lot of fancy wardrobe - uhm, this sort of nostalgia-melancholy-dreamish-mood or so to it? (Especially the colour pages, ever after the middle of the series.) - quite nice action scenes in between - dark mood - time limit with impending doom - Contracts - well thought out plot - major "WWHHHAAAAT" plot twist, which despite the surprise make sense - multiple dimensions - scythes - not so overused elements, or used in a diffrent manner, like how chains are used in there, or the golden light - the good and bad isn't really hat clear, but also not to unclear and messed up either - people don't nescessarily stand one side forever, but also don't make their change on the last minute in this "but the good like has to win and any evil realizes their mistake when the good ourifies the world close to the finale"-sort of thing - self sacrifice, but not that kind of emo-type, or weakness (basically what Elliots scolds Oz off about at their first meeting), but in full awareness of what it means and still doing it, because there isn't anything much else to do. - a deal of regret to self loathing, but without overly getting emo, but rather getting a new conviction out of it (so slightly yandere is fine, too) - somebody who is somewhat pathetic, but in a cute humourous manner (like Gilbert and not being able to stop smoking and getting picked on it) - master-servant relationship with loyalty and devoteness, but the master needs to be capable of taking care of themselves, if need be - Anyway, rabbits. - Did I mention rabbits already? @Snaita Will check Hoshi no Samidare out. Altough the art doesn't really look that much my taste. Too... Weekly Jump-shonen-simplish? (At least judging from the covers, the level of details doesn't look too huge.) |

| @ VerballyStunted here are two sugestions - Good Ending - Domestic na kanojo |
| no signature here |
| @VerballyStunted If you intend to start Good Ending make sure you DON'T read the one-shot! Apparently it spoils the whole thing -_- |
 |
| Hello! I was wondering if someone could recommend me a good comedy, fantasy or japanese folklore manga (youkai and stuff like that). My only condition is that it doesn't have much drama in it and it's completed. Thank you in advance! ^^ |
| mouryo no hako? |

| So, i don't know if this applies to light novals as well, but if it does: i'd like to read something like Rokka no yuusha. Meaning it needs mystery, fantasy and or magic. It could also be a very well done thriller. Thanks in advance to those that recommend :) |
 |
| @ClouWatcherYou can try: Utsuro no Hako to Zero no Maria Gekkou Arifureta Shokugyou de Sekai Saikyou Mother of learning (the title is not really appealing i know ) I don't think of anything else including mystery and fantasy, see for yourself if it's to your taste :) (I think you can find all of them on Baka-Tsuki, i'm not sure ) |

| im looking for psychological/ romance = manga and manhwa. any recommendation? thanks in advance! |

|
| sup knowledgeable ppl? i'd like to find a manga where the main guys is strong and is aware of the power and knows how to use it. (i wouldn't mind if he get powerful at the beginning, and then just own the others), i'd also like it to have some supernatural elements. |
| @DarkStyle If you want some OP MC then here are some suggestions: Onepunch-Man, Gun x Clover, Id - The Greatest Fusion Fantasy, Superior, Maoyuu Maou Yuusha: 'Kono Watashi no Mono to Nare, Yuusha yo' 'Kotowaru!', Beelzebub, Tower of God, The Breaker, Needless, Tokyo Ghoul. |

| Hey guys, I'm looking for a manga where the goal is to "trick" people, something like Liar Game or Kakegurui. Thanks :) |
 |
| Hunter x Hunter, in a later arc also yu yu hakusho. Spice of Wolf at some points as well. There is also some shoujo called Million girl or so, it#s somewhat a cheesy version of Liar Game. |

CandleJakk007 said: Manga like Game of Thrones. Requirements : Adult-oriented (seinen), plot twists, betrayal, huge cast and of course "no one's safe" Anyone? |
| Shin Angyo Onshi, Monster, 20th Century Boys, probably Berserk (haven't read it) |

| @CandleJakk007 Great suggestions there ↑ :) Well I can also add Umineko no Naku Koro ni series (manga version is great), Bokurano, Battle Royale, Hoshi no Samidare, Terra Formars jmonegro0429 said: I want a manga that doesnt have an anime to go with it idc what genre it is as long as it is good! Or ill take and exception to mangas that are better than its animation counter part like Tokyo Ghoul or one that kept on going like Soul Eater. Thanks fam! Man, you are basically talking about most manga titles out there :P I’m not sure what you want so you can just check the manga titles I mentioned above or the ones mentioned in the previous reply by shina_luna. |

Crillroyyy said: How many vol is it in One Piece and where can i buy it 80 vol so far.. depends where you are from.. e-bay bro ^^ |
|
| Can you guys recommend me some anime that are very mature and serious, and realistic (e.g Monster, Billy Bat, etc.) I would like some deep themes, and realistic characters. Thank you, it's greatly appreciated |
| Anything from Fumi Yoshinaga |

| Looking for a manga for myself. Enjoyed Neon Genesis Evangelion Flowers of Evil Inside Mari Under Grand Hotel Also Yotsuba& but I know that is an outlier. lol I honestly wouldn't mind something more cheery but what can I say other than I like it when there is a lot of mean stuff happening and my favorite characters are constantly in some sort of emotional crisis. |
The anime community in a nutshell.  |
| @AWestSide From my list maybe you should try: Love Letter Watashitachi no Shiawase na Jikan Once Again (it won't make much sense unless you finish it) The Breaker (I suppose the plot is realistic but it has very unrealistic martial arts) @Jonouchi-Katsuya If you enjoy manga where the MC experiences unfair or traumatic events then... Dead Tube Platinum End Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari (definitely!) Yakushoku Distpiari |
|
| 2 Jonouchi-Katsuya You should try reading Oyasumi Punpun and Asano Inio in general |
