Backwards Comics (Manga)

Mr.Bookworm · 05-11-2009, 06:24 PM

So, I'm looking for more manga, but I've read a lot.

And, well, that's about it.

Manga I have read includes Berserk, 20th Century Boys, Monster, Pluto, Bleach, Naruto (Yes I know), Air Gear (and again), Dragonball, Vinland Saga, Franken Fran, Eyeshield 21, D.Gray-Man, Deadman Wonderland, Parasyte, and a bunch of others I can't think of right now.

Hellsing manga is relatively short, good, and finished.

I've heard the Sayonara, Zetsubou Sensei manga is good, and the anime is, so I'd recommend checking that.

Fullmetal Alchemist manga is awesome. Death Note is pretty good. Hunter x Hunter is awesome after you get past the slow start, but it's still not finished yet.

Lone Wolf and Cub. Hands down the best manga about a feudal Japan-era assassin and his son fertilizing the islands with the blood and bodies of ninjas and samurai.

If you are looking for finished then you should probably look up Flame of Recca, Yu Yu Hakusho, Biomeat, Black Cat, any of the numerous Legend of Zelda mangas, Parasyte, and Rurouni Kenshin. Most of that is typical boys manga, with the Parastye and Biomeat being horror.

For unfinished manga the list is longer. Black Lagoon, Kurohime, Change 123, Dragon Quest Dai's Adventure, and Psyren are all really great. Fairy Tail is pretty rad too.

Have you read Battle Angel Alita? Very few people have that I know of. For being set in an allegorical nihilistic post-apocalyptic civilization it's pretty cute, and for being targeted specifically at age 40+ male Japanese office workers it's pretty deep.

Battle Royale is a great manga. Bloody and really messed up. But if you like BR, you might like Baron Gong as well since it's the same mangaka (Masayuki Taguchi)

But there is a LOT of blood and "crazy" stuff in it. Just a warning.

I concur, but can someone tell me what I'm missing? Wikipedia said something about Alucard coming back to Integra 30 years after the incident with the Major, but I don't know where the hell that came from. Did I miss a couple epilogue chapters or something?

Kim · 05-12-2009, 11:59 AM

Yeah, there's one epilogue chapter that has it.

One Piece is the best shounen manga out there.

I heartily recommend Card Captor Sakura, but you probably wouldn't like it at all.
