I have read only "Genji Monogatari" and "Master Keaton" in manga, and I like both. I don't like unrealistic manga (that is fantasy, SF...) nor shojo ones.

Holy ...

have you all been sleeping? (except nangi))Have any of you read the masterpiece of literature called "Nausicca and the Valley of the Wind"?
This one blew me away be the sheer scope of story, depth pf thought and feeling, and mastery of art. You will laugh, cry, and come out after reading it a changed person. I sh*t you not.

Oh yeah, Mugen no Junin (Blade of the Immortal) is pretty good too.
Love, Ben

I read it in Japanese just a couple months ago. The sheer scope of it! It does a good job of dwarfing the movie and putting other Miyazaki movies in perspective... I found that Monoke Hime was very much in line with the Nausicaa manga. One could almost point out their counterparts... But I tend to agree with you that the scope of the anime/manga knowledge of several posters on this board is quite limited...

I think Lonewolf and Cub is awesome. It's my favorite of all the manga I've read. Ranma 1/2 was pretty good also.

I love Nausicaa, H2, Touch (just watched it over again), and Love Hina. Some of them may be old titles; especially in Mr. Mitsuru Adachi's works that had been published in Shojo Comics since 1976.

Mr. Adachi have really captured the emotions and the fluctuating feelings that we humans have... He shows us that reality is harsh and not everything turns out as expected... Hmmm... Are there any other Mr. Adachi's fans out there? Or is it only me who is crazy about his work?

Having still to read many manga, I can still make a contribution to this topic:-

Mugen no Jyuunin- The artwork`s seemnigly calmed down a bit now, but it`s still very beautiful and the artist as his own great style.

Plus, I`m liking:-

Tenjyo Tenge- Also quite well drawn and seemingly ahs a plot for a fighting manga.

One Piece- You`ll probably call me a kid for this suggestion, and you`d be right. I don`t care, there`s something about it that for the first time in ages has got me intersted in something really popular.

Beck- A manga about the troubles and successes of a band is quite interesting for me and there aren`t many others out there.

Bleach- Again< maybe it`s artistic appreciation of the work, but as I intend to understand the story more and more I`m finding this series still enjoyable.

GTO- I think follks already know why.

That`s all for now.

Hei Himura,
Have you read ginryu?? I've read some, and I think I'll like it.
Yeah.... It's so hard to find a good iaido and kendo dojo. I've join a kendo dojo in my Univ. but.... I'm more interesting in Japanesse dojo's. The only problem is.. the dojo is 3 hour away from my city hehehe...
I heard that iaido used real sword, is that true???

My favorite manga are a few one shots:

Promise by Keiko Nishi
Since You've Been Gone by Keiko Nishi
They Were 11 by Moto Hagio
The Changeling by Shio Sato

These were published in a book called Four Shoujo Stories..has anyone seen it?

Also, I like I.N.V.U., Sailor Moon, Peach Girl, Inuyasha, Fake, Parasyte, and wow, I miss Harlem Beat, I've never read another sports manga that I liked! I read a lot more too..

Although I don't read a lot of manga...I'd have to say Dragon Knights (has a funny side to it, but gets serious later..still keeps some humor tho), Fushigi Yuugi (great plot, characters, good humor, etc) and Saiyuki (plot, charcters...etc [i love goku and hakkai] )
random quote:
"You're not my master!"
"Yes I am! I'm....in drag."
"How shameful..."
-Dragon Knights vol. 1

U have to read the manga to get that. It's halirous!

Alita

Battle Angel Alita, no contest. (known as jimu = Gun Dream in Japan) It's actually more popular in the West than it is in Japan.

I also like Fist of the North Star Master Edition, they did a really good job colorizing Tetsuo Hara's b/w artwork. Check it out!

I'm sure I haven't read a very large variety of titles compared to a lot of folks here, but I absolutely adore Love Hina. I didn't like the anime that much though and I have yet to finish the series. I've only read through volume 11.

I also like Chobits quite a bit, though I've only read two volumes. The titles in the U.S. Shonen Jump are really fun too, especially Naruto.
