Manga you refuse to read? Doesn't matter if the reason is "stupid" or not.

Kimi ni Todoke because the anime drove me nuts with their shyness. It was cute and all but I'm sure the manga will frustrate me to no end...

Things I KNOW where dropped by the scan group and haven't been picked up for years.
I haven't read enough of manga to know any particulars.

Pretty much 99% of the shojo mangas, mainly because the art is creeping me the hell out. (I only have ever actualy read is Hiyokoi <_< and even then the art was bugging me a bit)

Aku no Hana. As for why, I'll try to find that post in which I explained why. It's too much work to write that whole thing all over again.

Too bad, cause you're missing out on some amazing art:


EDIT: Found it:
yhunata said:
Aku no Hana. Two reasons; for one, the art is hideous. I don't care what others think, but to me art is one of the most important things for any visual medium (such as anime). Two, the author actually approved of the art because.... I forget. But as someone who aspires to become a story writer, I can't forgive someone who'll deliberately let his work be ruined. If the art was similar to the manga, as in the manga had distorted art in order to convey the psychological factor more, it would be a different story, though. Plus points, not gonna read the manga either.

I don't care if it turns out it's "way better than it sounds", if it "gets better", "it's too silly to take seriously", or anything like that. As a lesbian, I'm not reading this. I'm not touching it with a fifty foot pole.

Most shoujo shit. I'm reading Mars right now though and it's pretty good. Tokyo Babylon / X are good too but they're a bit less shoujo due to the action.

Probably one Piece, and possibly Dragon Ball (though I was given 9 volumes of it a few years ago as a gift).

They just don't interest me enough to warrant spending so much time reading them. It is bad enough that I read like 30+ volumes of Naruto back in the day (and plan to buy and read the entire series at some point) and am going through Bleach and Berserk which are also super long.

If the first chapters has any sort of "erotic" misunderstandings that results in the main character getting physically abused, I'm probably gonna drop it and not even bother to put it on my list.

I usually read the sum arise of whatever manga I'm thinking of taking up so I don't really have a particular manga I refuse to read, but I wouldn't want to read harem based ones or the typical shoujo ones where the female lead needs to get a backbone ASAP.

Other than that, historical manga and crack manga I guess.

Prison School - i hate the ArtWork sooo much, i thought the anime would be better....... but it looks like i was still wrong =(

Basically all of the Manhwa - same reason, the art style is not my style. Even though i find some of the synopsis really good, the art style turns me off.

Yaoi/Yuri/Ecchi
I struggle to relate to Yaoi/Yuri as much as to Shoujo - which is kinda sad though as I've heard there's some really good Yaoi/Yuri mangas but I just don't take to them like Shoujo/Shounen.

Then Ecchi - or at least too much Ecchi/fanservice - can just become really creepy and uncomfortable at times.

For a specific manga, Naruto has always been something that I shall never touch in manga or anime. There's just too much of it and from what I've seen, it just really bores me. That and it's 75% fillers.

There is no genre I'm not, at least, willing to try, except maybe for romance that promote abusive relationships like Ookami Shoujo. That usually makes me very uncomfortable.

As for a specific manga, I'd like to mention Lone Wolf & Cub too. It's seen as a classic, one of the best ever and so forth, but the art is really a turn off for me.

Any battle shounen manga. I'd rather watch its anime adaptation.

Any currently publishing manga. I barely have the patience to wait for a new episode of anime to come out each week, let alone waiting a month for a new chapter of manga to be released.

I won't touch any of the long-running shounen manga titles such as One Piece, Naruto, Bleach, et cetera. As a general rule I tend to stay away from shounen manga because they just don't appeal to me. That doesn't mean that I *won't* read them, it just means that they have to come very highly recommended for me to give them a try.
