This thread is where you ask for recommendations of all genre's. It is really helpful, and will allow you to get more detailed responses, if you include information on the type of manga you have read, the genre's you prefer, and any other specifications you have in mind. Edit: Just don't forget to go to last page. :P Modified by Konik, Jul 2, 2014 4:49 PM |
Does this mean there will also be Manga Experts??    |
Pyapi said: Does this mean there will also be Manga Experts?? I think the anime expert thread might refer to both anime and manga. I am however not sure, if you want to double check contact Motion_Menace and ask her. |
Someone suggested that we have a separate thread for general manga recs, (before everything got erased ) and I thought it was a good idea since they do not always follow hand in hand, so I made this thread. I think it is safe to say we have quite a few members with a large knowledge of manga here as well as anime. Some have been very helpful to me already. |
I'm looking for a good fantasy and/or action manga with lead female strong characters. I prefer finished manga but ( that's facultative ) the publishing ones(that are not finished yet) are also good.^^ What do you recommend me(before watch my manga list)? |
Claymore has lots of strong female characters, and it is a fantasy with loads of action. |
Thanks for the recommendations!^^ I'll try to read them. |
Anyone got any good manga to suggest? Something addictive, keeps you wanting to read more. :P Most genres will do. Action/fantasy or Comedy if you really need something to go on. (But again, anything should be fine) |
Searching for manga similar to Tsubasa Chronicles, preferable fantasy/sci-fi genres. Thanks in advance :) |

Thanks in advance :) RG Veda - It's one of CLAMP's older works, fantasy as well, and very VERY good. Ludwig Revolution - It's based off of the Grimm brother's fairy tales. It's pretty short and really entertaining. Chrno Crusade - Romance, sci-fi, fantasy, I think it fits well what you're looking for. And it's very good. Clu3less said: Anyone got any good manga to suggest? Something addictive, keeps you wanting to read more. :P Most genres will do. Action/fantasy or Comedy if you really need something to go on. (But again, anything should be fine) Rurouni Kenshin - It's got a lot of action and some comedy. It's also one of my favorite series and I consider it quite addicting. +Anima - Fantasy, and a very good series. P.S. - Absolutely loved your list's layout Clu3less *O* |

Miko try Saver. The manga is already finished. It got a strong female lead. |
I'm kind of picky when it comes to manga (because my tastes change so much). Right now, I'm sort of looking for a manga that has romance/adventure (maybe action too). I don't like things with demons, werewolves, vampires, witches, paranormal stuff, etc, so I don't really go near any paranormal/supernatural/fantasy genres (there are some exceptions like Adventure and Trouble Diary). If possible, I want the female lead to be strong (Like in Crazy Tokyo Paradise). Sorry for all the requests, I'm just in desperate need of a good manga right now. |

I was about to suggest Chrno Crusade until I read the no demons things. Darn! I can't think of any series that are romantic/adventure that have strong female leads. BUT, I can suggest a few romantic series with strong leads: Skip Beat! - I checked your list and you didn't have it there. It's by the same mangaka as Crazy Tokyo Paradise and from the few chapters I managed to read of it, it has a pretty strong lead. Kakumei no Hi - The female lead used to be a guy (literally) so she's pretty strong. It's very short though... W-Juliet - Lead girl's pretty strong. Though I don't know how you'll feel about the guy cross-dressing! Hana Kimi - Girl's really stubborn and pretty strong. I'm sorry if they don't have a lot of Adventure or Action in them. Hopefully someone else might more accurately recommend something for you. Either way, I hope my little list might help get started ^^ |

I've also read Hana Kimi (and so loved it). Thanks for the suggestions =^_^= |
I thought it was weird when Skip Beat didn't show up in your list. Most people know Crazy Tokyo Paradise because of Skip Beat xD |
Pyapi said: I thought it was weird when Skip Beat didn't show up in your list. Most people know Crazy Tokyo Paradise because of Skip Beat xD Haha to tell you the truth, someone from Y!A recommended that I read Tokyo Paradise so I did. I didn't find out that they were by the same author until like a week later ^^; |

I'm looking to get into manga in general. Never really made a real effort to besides H-manga which really inflated my manga count.. when in reality I maybe only read one or two non-H ones. So I guess I'm just looking for the "must-reads" or whichever is great really. I'm open to pretty much anything and will check out any suggestions. Ah yes, if there is a criteria.. I'd prefer it if it doesn't have an anime counterpart. Not a huge deal even if it does though. Thanks!  |
Here's some good manga without an anime adaption http://myanimelist.net/manga/3537/Yankee-kun_to_Megane-chan http://myanimelist.net/manga/6612/Blazer_Drive http://myanimelist.net/manga/5627/Bloody_Monday http://myanimelist.net/manga/8341/Code:Breaker http://myanimelist.net/manga/1926/Nazo_no_Kanojo_X Modified by Gpglssp, Dec 4, 2011 6:54 PM |
started reading manga recently cause the anime adaptions didnt cut it and now i've jumped into manga without anime adaptions like eternal sabbath and the breaker i enjoyed berserk and gantz alot too (havent seen berserk anime) also loved the comedy of sora no otoshimono and full metal panic so im currently searching for psychological, thriller, comedy or w/e related genres nothing thats overdone and unnecessary text heavy |
http://myanimelist.net/manga/18019/Countrouble - romance comedy http://myanimelist.net/manga/1101/Akumetsu - psychological, thriller http://myanimelist.net/manga/12586/Eden_no_Ori - thriller http://myanimelist.net/manga/10249/Veritas - if you like The Breaker you might like this; has comedy http://myanimelist.net/manga/1414/SKET_Dance - comedy http://myanimelist.net/manga/894/Rosario+Vampire - comedy more to action though, gets better with the second series |

UltimatePleasure said: can someone recommend a good Romace/Fantasy with dragons? Like anyone have read the book eragon. It isn't much, nor are the scanlators very active, but: http://myanimelist.net/manga/17402/Dragon_Who is about dragons with a type of romance. It isn't like Eragon though.  |

What makes you really feel secure is knowing that somebody more pathetic than yourself exists out there. |
So I'm close to finishing Steins; Gate (so close! T.T) and afterwards I plan to get back into reading manga. I'm looking for some new ones to add to my "plan to read list". Preferably something that's: romance/ comedy/ action/ adventure (the other 3 genres don't necessarily have to have that big of a presence) Also, if possible can there not be 2 much drama in it? (It's not that I don't like it, I'm just not in the mood for it at the moment). Thanks in advance! =^_^= |
