I've read assorted mangas that piqued my interest for a while now,but I've never had a huge amount of time to read a bunch, only read a few. I have a lot of time on my hands right now though and started reading more than I've ever read before. Recommend me some.

Stuff I've read/am reading and liked:

Liar Game
Tsubasa Resevoir Chronicle
xxxHolic (just started, mainly cause I liked TRC)
Pandora Hearts
Soul Eater
Death Note
+ Show Spoiler +

At least I liked it until + Show Spoiler +

died. After that I raged so much >_

Yeah, a few that I remember off the top of my head right now. IDK if those all fall into a similar genre or something. Might be cool if they did, makes it easy to find something new? So yeah help me out and recommend me some stuff.

I actually really liked the One Piece Manga (what I've read of it anyway). Although that probably makes me a manga newbie compared to other hardcore fans on tl

The Full Metal Alchemist manga us great, even better than the anime (as the anime's plot kinda took a dive off a cliff somewhere near the end).

Berserk is great. As is Great Teacher Onizuka and Ranma 1/2.

Don't go near Bleach. Right now that manga is shoving it's filthy plotless penis into every single manga fan anus on the planet. Some of those anuses have gotten so used to it they don't even feel it anymore.

Btw, I feel like I've spread this wisdom before. A couple times. I'm getting the feeling this kind of thread has quite a few predecessors.

I used to read a lot of manga. The only ones I remember clearly now are: Monster, Death Note, and Hajime no Ippo. All worth reading.

I'm too scared to go near Bleach/Naruto/One Piece, since it seems that way too many idiots/10 year olds like them. Maybe I'm being narrowminded, but for now, I'll stay clear.

I'm conflicted on whether or not I want to go near Fullmetal Alchemist...

I also don't feel like watching a lot of anime, too time consuming, whereas with reading manga I can go at my own pace.

Go and watch Elfenlied - this Anime is for an older generation and is really really good!

No really, One Piece is much MUUUUUUUUCHHHHHHHHH better than Naruto and/or Bleach combined.

Btw, you can ask in the Anime Discussion Thread you know, might reach out to more people.

I don't understand the Elfen Lied hype, I totally didn't like it, neither manga nor anime.

I'm pretty sure there will be many replies with big names like FMA, so maybe I will single out some less known ones:
Eternal Sabbath
Welcome to the NHK (maybe)
Houshin Engi (it's veeeery long and confusing)
Superior (not finished)
Mirai Nikki

If you'd like to check out some manhwa, I recommend Id (not finished). There were perhaps more noteworthy titles, but meh

Most new mangas nowadays are pretty average/bad though... imho.

On a side note, I totally hated the 10 or so chapters of Pandora Hearts

+ Show Spoiler +

I hate post-L-arc Death Note.

I really liked NHK ni Youkoso, for reasons I can't explain in words lol. It was just good.

Alice and Shalon from Pandora Hearts were *snip* (cut off, can't discuss this out of the thread)

I'm reading the scanlation of the manga, which is apparently like 10 or so chapters behind the release. Does this mean I'm gonna hate the next 10 chapters? D:

I agree with your spoiler

Anyways thanks for all the suggestions, I'll start looking into them ^^

Yay another Soul Eater fan ^^. Death note was good and Full Metal Alch, like people said. Ghost in the Shell was fun too. Bleach is all right I guess, but nothing to get overly excited about. I've been hearing lately that Claymore and Berserker are good too.
edit: Akira maybe too?
