Best Doujinshi that I've ever read. Really hoping that they have another arc for the manga, although the story does continued in a form of novel

So for my suggestion

- Beelzebub
- Buyuden
- TWGOK
- Nisekoi
- Kuroku no Basuke
- etc.
Kabochacha
Tower of God (ToG)

I made some grammatical adjustments to the following comment, which is copied from joshue020's post on a Mangafox thread.
"It's about a tower in which people go up floor by continent-sized floor, all for the purpose of reaching the top (134th floor, but technically not the top lolwut) to get their wishes fulfilled. Be it fortune, glory, power, revenge, or anything, the tower will grant it to those who manage to get up there. Along the way, these people are faced with a lot of shit and readers get to see how they cleverly deal with them. That's the mechanics of the tower system.

The story is too complex to give a good summary. There's a lot okay, wayyyy more depth and plot twisting in ToG than in most other Shonen mangas. No bullshit like Naruto, no power up after power up like Bleach, very little DBZ type battles where the one with the bigger stick usually wins.

Well-balanced story. Good character development. Humour. Characters come and go, and dead people stay dead."

Even though:
→ the beginning can be a bit slow and confusing to some
→ the art isn't mind-blowing (it is in full colour though and gets better with every new chapter)
→ there are quite a few names and terms to remember,
I would still recommend this somewhat popular webtoon (close enough to a manga) to anybody. It is currently one of my favourites so please give it a try and don't stop after reading just a few pages!

from the same mangaka, Chikan Otoko. True story (they said), which is posted on 2ch. The romance and pacing is so damn natural and the characters is interesting.

I'm actually a big fan of this webtoon. I watched even before he met a web publisher (Naver). Though, I'm a bit worried how the webtoon will translate to other country.

Side note: I read webtoons a lot. Even my avatar originates from a webtoon (try guess where it comes from).

I wish I could read Korean. It would give me a more accurate feel of the dialogue and such but the English versions I'm reading are alright. I've only recently started reading webtoons but I think they're amazing and really colourful haha

Along with ToG, I'm currently reading Crepuscule, Twelve Nights, The Pale Horse, and Trace. If you don't mind, please recommend some of the webtoons you read to me :D (I hope I can find English translations of them ; u ;)

  1. The Great Catsby (yes, Catsby) (Fin)
  2. Denma (it seems like the translation project is on hold at 35/546...)
  3. Cheese in the Trap
  4. Dr. Frost
  5. FANTASY WORLD SURVIVAL
  6. GYON-WOO & JIK-NYU (Fin, but not the translation)
  7. Kiss Wood (Fin)
  8. Melo Holic (Fin)
  9. Peak
  10. Song of Cloud (Fin)
  11. Story of Someone We Know (Fin) (well, the translation isn't)
  12. Ties of Compassion (Fin, but not the translation)
I'm actually surprised at the volume of the translated list. Though, there are some bad ones translated over a worthy one.

After reading through these posts, i find that one of my favourite work has been neglected :(
And without further ado, here it is!

http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=2984

And on that note, another manga
http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=71967

Baka-Tsuki is currently translating the light-novels and they are worth reading!

If you're into horror/seinen, Ibitsu is pretty good.
http://myanimelist.net/manga/16688/Ibitsu
It's a 2 volume story of a guy that meets a woman dressed in a lolita outfit who starts stalking him to become his imouto. cute.

Hideout is another good horror manga with a bit darker themes.
http://myanimelist.net/manga/28361/Hideout
A 9 chapter story of a guy that plans to kill his bitchy wife while on vacation, and of course things go wrong.

If horror isn't your thing, 素晴らしい世界 (what a wonderful world) is a really nice collection of short stories.
http://myanimelist.net/manga/3614/Subarashii_Sekai
Various people have given up on the world but find new meaning and purpose from various events and those around them. Very metaphorical.

Please excuse me if these have been suggested already.

Since you didn't say what exactly you liked about to-love-ru or anything else you read, just going to give a long list of harem based mangas. Tell me what you think is best (going to try to separate it by sub-genre)
LIM Dall-Young (he belongs in his own genre because his plot lines usually all have very similar twist xD)

Action:
Akame ga Kiru!
Blood Lad
Dragons Rioting
Gokukoku no Brynhildr
Isuca
Madan no Ou to Vanadis (I would recommend you read the LN version)
Onamori Himari
Oto x Maho (close enough to a harem)
Unbreakable Machine Doll
Rising x Rydeen (because the premise is so stupid xD)
Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance (I would recommend you read the LN version)
Trinity Seven: 7-Nin no Mahoutsukai
Watashi no Messiah-sama (SnO's autho's best work, plot wise imo)
Yankano!

Psychological: (sort of)
Gamble Fish

Slice of Life: (Basically anything I feel that doesn't below in other categories)
Countrouble
Denpa Kyoushi
Hakoiri Devil Princess (for the most part it fits here)
Hayate no Gotoku!
Kimiiro Focus
Koisome Momiji
Nisekoi
Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei (I would recommend you read the LN version)
Tsuki Tsuki! (Again, I would recommend you read the LN version)

I know some previous ppl recommended these, but I added them to the list anyway.

If you are looking for something psychological read Ibitsu lol.

Since almost every harem/romcom I recommended above has ecchi (to some extent), I would say to also try out everything from that list (p/2409946)

Is Deadman Wonderlan gore enough? B|

What do you mean by gore enough?

If you mean clotted blood, there probably isn't much.
If you meant blood coming out of their bodies, there is plenty of that.
If you are looking just for bloody violence, there is probably enough for most ppl

Gore is some sadistic things.

There's a lot of people blowed up by some Fakes.
Of course, Because they(Deadman) use their own bloods for a fight.
There's someone take his own hand off.

Been reading the English localization of Puella Magi Kazumi Magica lately. I really like it so far, and I suggest reading it if you're into the original Madoka Magica series.
I've also been waiting for the English release of the Senran Kagura: Skirting Shadows manga. I hope that'll be good, too.

Gamaran, Beelzebub and Nisekoi 3 good manga

So lets see, you have 4 mangas with a master-servant relationship going on, with 3 of them being adopted from light novels. Okay shouldn't be too bad to make recommendations xD

Isuca
Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance (I am not the biggest fan tof the manga though, novel is better)
Trinity Seven

While the next few don't have the master servant relationship exactly, they were adopted from light novels with similar feels
Absolute Duo
Gakusen Toshi Asterisk
Kenshin no Keishousha
Shinmai Maou no Keiyakusha

If I think of more, I'll add them to another post later
ALTKID
feel like corpse party and kagerou project is still the best manga :)
EineKrone
^Nope, best maga is Onani Master Kurosawa. (A bit NSFW, not ecchi(despite the name :? ))
Loved it, would read again.

SPOILER
And tsun blondie is best girl


edit(forgot, imba sleepy):
jokes aside, anyone got somenthing for similar tastes? No need to be the same thing(I would get used/bored maybe), but I liked the plans, plots,and then shyt gets real, but he keeps up and it ends all fluffy(and with the already mentioned best girl). If it wasn't ridiculously long too it would be good. (i liked this too, 31 chapter is good, too much and i think it starts getting diluted).

Bye. ish.
