manga i like:

gto
berserk
gantz
hellsing
planetes
fullmetal alchemist
death note

no "gay moe shit"?

Battle Royale.

On second thought, you might not be able to handle that.

i already read the novel, and didn't think it was that great. i'm looking for something more mature, not just mindless violence. why might i not be able to handle it, exactly?

Are there any good short mangas like FLCL or Azumanga Daioh?

Well, FLCL's artist Hajime Ueda started a 2 book series called Q-ko Chan that was released on Tokyopop. Same trippy artwork, similar confusing ambiguous storyline, although it doesn't compare with FLCL.

Azumanga Daioh's author did Yotsuba&, which is pretty good. If I were to describe it, it's like a series with Chiyo-chan without the smartness.

I could give more, but I'd like to know how many books would make a series "short" in your opinion.

I can't buy Yotsuba.

Inazuma · 02-11-2007, 02:49 AM

Why not?

Oh and btw, everyone should read Yakitate! Japan. That series rocks.

(woot, 200th post! Yay me!)

I bought Yotsuba for a friend as her birthday present and now I have to wait to visit her to go read them.

The Original Ghost In the Shell Manga is pretty good.

I'd also recommend the Neon Genesis Evangelion mangas.

oh and the .hack mangas are alright... but then again, you probably wouldn't like them. =/ You kinda had to watch the tv show AND play`the original video game series to understand them well.
