Its impossible to find any topics here that discuss acutal manga (not anime!) so i thought i'd start a new one. So any reccomendations? Some of my faves are: Appleseed Ghost in the Shell Battle Angel Alita Uzumaki (my fave so far) Currently i'm reading the .Hack manga which is surprisingly good! Really great concept. Whats Chobits like? |
||||||||

oh and how did people think the FLCL manga compared with the anime? I've borrowed the manga off a friend, haven't read it yet though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the flcl manga is very different graphic wise.....ive got vol 1 and 2.interesting. im reading tokyo babylon at the moment.really quite good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
think i'll have to bump this when more people are online |

chobits manga shit all over the anime, I think they had to cut the anime short without any notice or something, it's simply incomplete I collect everything masamue shirow I possibly can, lots of art books and things too, I'd send some pics, but I'm not at my place at the moment, and my modems dead, so I couldn't when I get home anyway, I'll see what I can remember I have,... umm,....... Chobits Angelic Layer Ghost in the Shell Ghost in the Shell Man Machine Interface Intron Depot 1 (masamune shirow art book) Intron Depot 3 Black Magic Orion Shadow Lady (Missing first book I got bits and peices of it in the serial manga form though) Mahoro Art Book Chobits Art Book art book from the guy who designed the characters in the anime "plastic little" if you've ever seen it I know there more, I also have shitload of manga on my computer too, but it's really badly sorted '_- |

oh yeah, flcl, pure eye candy |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
blade of the immortal and lone wolf and cub are my current favorites. also, try Icaro(us), not quite sure of spelling), by moebius. very good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the sheer amount of those avaliable intimidate me from looking at it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
chobits isn't a girly manga is it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's mostly funny, it's also eceedingly pretty imo |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I remembered seeing some good reviews for it somewhere so i flicked through it yesterday in the shop and it looked pretty good. I really like the artwork and the story seems interesting. Might pick it up next time i'm there. |

Battle Angel Alita (i prefer to call it Gunnm ^^): definitely great... btw there are two endings to the first manga series, a happy one which leads to a happy end of the story, and a sad one which leads to the next series: Gunnm Last Order... in france the happy one was in the 9-volume, little format series, and the sad one in the 6-volume, big format ones : ) about Chobits... and about every manga by Clamp i've read so far, there is something like a "Clamp syndrome": great when you read them for the first time, but when you re-read them it loses a lot and becomes tedious... it's manga to read just once. i don't know why is this, but it is an effect i get with every Clamp manga - so now i've stopped reading Clamp... *shrugs* ' _ ' i like Genzo the marionnetist a lot too, by Yuzo Takada (the author of 3x3 Eyes). my brother likes Agharta a lot, and it seems like a very nice one but i can't get the scenario, maybe i'm dumb but the scenario is very complicated and hard to follow... ^^ i like the graphic styles of Tsutomu Nihei and Shirow Masamune a lot, even though they both suffer from the same flaw: their characters (especially the girls with Shirow!) all look too much similar =) but they're great graphists nonetheless. i haven't started reading 'Blame!' yet, but 'Noise' is pretty good... (a one-shot, and maybe somewhat of a prequel to Blame!) the FLCL manga is also very good, original and all... not very long, but a good read : ) (i also tried reading the Cowboy Bebop manga, the scenarios are quite good and quite faithful to the spirit of the series (even if they're simpler) but the graphics are really poor...) |

The plot is definitely one of the best things about it, and the "book" sequences are a headfuck, especially near the end |

uzim > did you like tokyo babylon and x? i think they are quite different to what clamp usualy do these days..... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
didn't read those ones... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm really glad that berserk is finally getting released over here (even though it's coming VERY slowly) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
uzim > .... i honestly reckon you check them out then when you have the time. the best stuff clamp has done and the only stuff i reckon worth having. |
||||||||

mmmm. manga. delicious. the only stuff i'm really keeping up with at the moment is and (as soon as the next one comes out, those bastards!). naruto is awesome. dunno how many of you are familiar with the anime, but the manga is pretty much the same thing. not a lot of difference between the two, really. and berserk...is just. wow. the fucking coolest bit of anything in the world. what's not to like? i'm also picking up trigun as it's being released over here. good stuff. i've read FLCL (have the books), and i quite enjoy them. they're very different, yes, but still very cool. saishuuheiki kanojo (saikano) was very good. i read that after seeing the anime, and it wasn't too different. still really cool, though. i don't get around to much manga, actually. i'm too busy with anime. heh. but for those of you unfamiliar with , i really suggest you look into it. it's my favourite (you'll need , however, to download anything from these guys). happy reading! |

i had meant to say something earlier, but Refund is my man w/ that Mahoromatic avatar. that manga sould be coming out later this year, and i believe there is also a Mahoro Summer Special anime on the way. i've been much into the manga lately. the Suncoast near me puts the new one on the shelf up to almost two weeks before they come out sometimes! my small collection is of: .hack//Legend of the Twilight (great!) A.I. Love You Ai Yori Aoshi Azumanga Daioh (one of the funniest things out there) Happy Lesson (the anime is better than the manga) Love Hina (manga so much better than the anime!) Megatokyo (American cult web manga turned phonomenon) etc. there are plenty i'm planning on getting when they come out soon like Mahoromatic or Negima. |

in the u.s.? no. i think it comes out really soon, though (or did it just barely come out? i can't remember. it's been awhile since i've been into the comic shop. heh). but yeah, you can just DOWNLOAD them in the meantime from that link up above there. =) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, i already linked 'em. hehehe. |
||||||||

I'm about half way through the first Chobits book, its hilarious! Especially the part where he's trying to find the on switch and when Chi busts his mates 'laptop'. Its definately not a 'girly' book as i first thought. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
anyone know of any bittorrent links for BLAME! It's not out over here yet. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

i like Naruto : ) lately i've discovered a new manga called "Ray", it's expensive (every manga is expensive but this one is even more T_T) but good... check it out if it's out where you live...it's about a female doctor, who used to be a child kidnapped for organ traffic, her eyes had been sold but he was saved by someone who transplanted eyes to her... and now she is exercing medicine, illegally but very skillfully - and trying to find the doctor who saved her, she doesn't know who he is... it's pretty realistic but not totally, there are some almost surnatural things going on - yet even those are described an almost "natural" way.. and it feels pretty real when you read it, not too happy/crazy nor too dramatic but without being boring or bland... (sorry for my bad english^^) |
||||||||

|
|||||||||

|
|
lately been reading stuff by: yoshiharu tsuge (great, not your usual) suehiro maruo (perverted mind but such a good artist) mizuno junko (cute but not too cute....) rumiko takahashi (weird and touching short stories on japanese society) |
||||||||
|
|

Bezerk is really cool. Ever play the DC game? My fave is Black Jack: Two Fisted Surgeon Osamu Tezuka does some fucked-up wickedshit |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
forgot, i also read Uzumaki by Junji Ito. really enjoyed it...it's about a creepy seaside town and its inhabitants going obsessed with spirals. |
