· Moteki

http://kissmanga.com/Manga/Moteki


"Summary:


One day, Fujimoto, a 29-year-old temp worker (whose age equals the number of years he’s lived without a girlfriend) suddenly receives a surge of calls and emails all at once from the women connected to his past. That’s right, he’s finally hit popularity, something which comes only once in a lifetime for everyone! Feeling elated, Fujimoto decides to meet them one after the other…or so the story goes."


this one is so good, especially if you're similar to the main character. His wimpyness will hit home, lol. The art is spectacular.

· Sekine-kun no Koi

http://kissmanga.com/Manga/Sekine-kun-no-Koi


"Summary:

Sekine Keiichiro is handsome, intelligent, and popular. He's a jack-of-all-trades who's loved by women. Loved, that is, until they find out he's passionless and stoic and completely lacking in conviction. In a moment of self-reflection he starts hunting- can anything make him feel? He's about to find out."


So this manga has a really interesting character, Sekine. He's just this big ball of melancholic nothing that's so...naive? Stoic? Messy? Somehow, you can't help but feel for him. Like what's wrong with you??! But that just make you really hope that things work out for him romantically. This one is great if you like a little bit of a 'sad', achey feeling

· Stravaganza

http://kissmanga.com/Manga/Stravaganza-Isai-no-Hime


"Summary:


Humans live mostly behind safe walls, protected from the many non-human creatures outside. In this kingdom's walled capital city of Mitera lives an unusual young warrior woman known as Claria. The story begins as she takes a potentially deadly walk alone in the woods, encountering various dangerous creatures-- most notably a lizardman that treats her surprisingly kindly. But what no one knows about Claria is that she is secretly this kingdom's ruler, Queen Vivian! [tethysdust]"


A medieval slice of life. It's pretty cool

· Ran to Haiiro no Sekai

http://kissmanga.com/Manga/Ran-to-Haiiro-no-Sekai


"Summary:


Meet the Urumas, a slightly dysfunctional family of four sorcerers. Mom, being the most powerful sorceress around, works away from home keeping the world safe. Dad picks up the slack and takes care of the family. Except when he's out, which is when the older brother Jin finds himself in the unenviable position of keeping tabs on his sister Ran. And Ran, the youngest, is a willful girl with too much power and too little wisdom. Let's take a look at Ran's everyday misadventures, shall we?"


summary gets it pretty well. It's like a magical coming of age movie. The art is stunning

· Nanatsu no Taizai

http://kissmanga.com/Manga/Nanatsu-no-Taizai


"Summary:


The "Seven Deadly Sins", a group of evil knights who conspired to overthrow the kingdom of Britannia, were said to have been eradicated by the Holy Knights, although some claim that they still live. Ten years later, the Holy Knights have staged a Coup d'état and assassinated the king, becoming the new, tyrannical rulers of the kingdom. Elizabeth, the king's only daughter, sets out on a journey to find the "Seven Deadly Sins", and to enlist their help in taking back the kingdom."


Medieval shounen battle manga!

· Kongou Banchou

http://kissmanga.com/Manga/Kongoh-Bancho


"Summary:


Akira Kongou is looking to take down the "23 district project" which involves "banchou" from 23 districts of Tokyo fighting for the right to control Japan. Without meaning to, he becomes a participant with the alias Kongou Banchou and must take down other banchou while searching for the leaders of the project."


This is a crazy ass manga. Lots of manliness, fighting and teamwork. One of my favorites

· Onepunchman

http://kissmanga.com/Manga/Onepunch-Man


"Summary:


Follows the life of an average hero who manages to win all of his battles with only one shout! This ends up being the cause of much frustration as he no longer feels the thrill and adrenaline of fighting a tough battle. Maybe all of his rigorous training to become strong wasn't worth it. After all what's so good about having an overwhelming knee?"


This manga is hilarious and full of action. Fun as hell to read

• • Wallman

http://kissmanga.com/Manga/Wallman


"Summary:

Guns! Sex! Violence!

• • Fuan no Tane/Fuan no Tane +

http://kissmanga.com/Manga/Fuan-no-Tane---- / http://kissmanga.com/Manga/Fuan-no-Tane-+

"A collection of very short and mostly atmospheric stories dealing with urban legends, ghosts, and superstitions all organized around a specific theme (school, visitors, etc.). Some are just two pages long."

this one is scary as hell
makes you really jumpy

• • Saint Oniisan

http://kissmanga.com/Manga/Saint-Oniisan

"Summary:


Saint Oniisan is slice-of-life or divine-life, tale of Jesus and Buddha as they try to experience the modern world, in this case, Japan. The manga places a funny twist on religion, attitudes, culture and customs in Japan through the eyes of Jesus and Buddha. You see Jesus and Buddha experiencing Asakusa, public baths, theme parks, and the internet. Throughout the manga, we get a little history of their divine greatness only to see their apparent insignificance in modern Japanese society. Suffice to say, before people can recognize that they’re actually Jesus and Buddha, people think of them as someone who looks like Johnny Depp or a guy with a button on his forehead. For real. ---------- What if Jesus and Buddha were living on Earth in modern times? What if they shared an apartment in Japan? Saint Young Men is a humorous manga about the daily lives of Jesus and Buddha, with each chapter focusing on some element of modern life, such as Disneyland, rush hour on the train, Christmas, the public pool, carnivals, and more."


This is one of the best mangas ever

the author characterized them so well, it's like a sitcom

(also, check our Arakawa Under the Bridge by the same author)

• • Wakabayashi's 4koma collection

http://kissmanga.com/Manga/Wakabayashi-Toshiya’s-4-koma-Collection

"A collection of hilarious 4-koma style comics from Wakabayashi Toshiya."
these are so cute!

• • Ookami Shounen

http://kissmanga.com/Manga/Ookami-Shounen

It's a collection of shoujo oneshots. The art is rough in a really good way, very different from the typical sticky sweet shoujo art

• • Teke Teke

http://kissmanga.com/Manga/Teke-Teke-Rendezvous

"Summary:


Tayoko is a gyaru who flaunts herself on the outside, but is still a virgin who has not yet known love. Despite being a student in the agricultural department, she works parttime in a hostess club, where she meets and becomes interested in a patron's grandson named Shishio."


This is a pretty good josei manga. The girl is really floaty and romantic, while still being observant and mature. All the characters are really interesting

• • Helter Skelter

http://kissmanga.com/Manga/Helter-Skelter
"Summary:


Through round after round of extensive plastic surgery and vigorous maintenance, Ririko has become the absolute manifestation of beauty, and becomes a wildly successful model, actress, and singer. However, soon, her body, unable to withstand the burdens of surgery, begins to crumble, and along with it so does her mind, as she plummets towards a frightening and inevitable end.

Helter Skelter won the 2003 excellence prize at the Japanese Media Arts Festival, and the 2004 Osamu Tezuka Culture Prize."


This manga is rough, but that can be attributed to the author passing in a car crash before the book was done. That being said though, it's already really amazing, as is. If you like psychological stories and a little bit of glamour, this is perfect for you.

• • NHK

http://kissmanga.com/Manga/Welcome-to-the-NHK

"Summary:


Sato Tatsuhiro is a drug-addled "hikikomori" (a Japanese shut-in) who thinks a sinister organization, NHK (Nihon Hikikomori Kyoukai), is the cause of all his problems! He falls in love with a girl, Misaki, who he thinks is trying to assassinate him, but doesn't know how to talk to her or if he can trust her. The more he stays in his house watching anime porn, reading manga, and doing drugs, the harder it is for him to leave. Only Misaki can keep him from rotting away in his own apartment! "

• • Sumomomo Momomo

http://kissmanga.com/Manga/Sumomomo-Momomo

"Summary:


Momoko is the only child of the Kuzuryuu clan, a powerful martial arts family with inhuman strength. But strong as she is, her father fears a woman will never be able to master the skills of the family. Unless Momoko marries and bears a capable heir, the Kuzuryuu line is doomed to weaken and die off! With this mission in mind, Momoko is sent to the rival Inuzuka clan, where she is to marry the son of their mighty leader. But Koushi Inuzuka abandoned the martial arts long ago. Now committed to his legal studies, the last thing Koushi has on his mind is marriage — especially not to the world’s strongest bride!"


this is a really fun one

• • Toukyuu

http://kissmanga.com/Manga/Tokkyuu

"Summary:


It's about the coastal lifeguard, as Hyogo Kanbayashi tried to make his way through to enter Tokkyuu, the elite lifeguard team."


The main character is one of my favorite protagonists! He's someone you actually find yourself rooting for

• • Ookiku Furikabutte

http://kissmanga.com/Manga/Ookiku-Furikabutte

"Summary:


WINNER OF THE 2007 KODANSHA AWARD! Voted the number one baseball manga of all time! It also won the Tezuka Cultural Award in May 2006 for showing new possibilities of expression in baseball manga. Ookiku Furikabutte isn’t just a baseball manga. It’s the story of a timid young man who was made an ace pitcher in middle school because of family connections. Now he’s in high school and it’s his time to shine as an ace in his own right. Reading this story will get your blood boiling, heart pumping and tears flowing. It has been popular since it was serialized, a true Japanese high school baseball manga! "


goat baseball manga, it's a must read. You won't find a sports manga that goes into sports psychology like this one. Art is a little off but it grows on you.

"Kaoru is a 17-year old virgin who has a SM fetish. He always dreams about a SM relationship with his childhood friend Nana.

S&M romcom

I want Kaneki/sasaki to snap out of it already and go into bad ass centipede mode.As far as manga/anime goes, I am really into dark/ tragic themes and some yuri ( although it has to be realistic). but I have been lacking on my manga game as of late.........shame-full. I promise that I will do better....

Some of my faves.........
wolf guy
claymore
terra fumars
agame no riddle
citris
neon genesis evangelion
nana to kuro
beserk
Attack on titan
tokyo ghoul
prison school
koe no katachi

and the only one of the big three that I actually liked was bleach....Well untill Tite Kubo started pulling shyt out of his ass.....
the last comic that I picked up was an old 1995 wolverine comic at half-price book store over one month ago.Also, can anyone update me on his son daken and his situation?





another thing,does anyone play tera or any other free to play mmorpg's?..I miss playing those


I have heard great thing as about dragon prophet , planetside 2 , and Aion.....


and whats your opinion on the following anime Kiseijuu: Sei no Kakuritsu ...the way its turning out is becoming a total disappointment , although I was surprised that Migi actually saved his hosts life in the latest episode....but it was an short lived character development..



And I am starting to get that feeling from tokyo ghoul second season, but we will have to see how that turns out.

yoooo I forgot about koe no kitachi, that was one of the best I ever read
I read tokyo ghoul in the beginning but stopped
does it finish strong?

Kiseijuu looks cool as hell

 

[Ghost_In_A_Shell]

Great recommendations! Although I think I'll check them out after I get through reading "Battle Royale" By Koushun Takami. I recommend this book if you love Hunger Games.

It's a certified GOAT....
