Feng Shen Ji. Best battle manga.
GANTZ is also good, really explicit.

Can anyone recommend me any good seinen sci fi or horror manga (for my summer break)
When I mean horror I don't mean fruity horror moe . I can't think of any at the moment but this list will sort of help with the taste of art style I enjoy:
Parasyte
Gantz
Litchi Hikari Club
Claymore
Berserk
Emerging
Or anything that resembles Shintaro Kago's art style

I'll recommend the only manga i've ever finished, Berserk!
Btooom! is a pretty good sci-fi manga, a bit similar to the Hunger Games (sorry for non-manga analogy), although its updates take forever. If you like Parasyte and Gantz, a similar manga to that is Zetman. The style and amount of gore and nudity is about the sameralip wrote:

One of my favorite short manga is called Life is Money. Not necessarily sci-fi, but very psychological. Another short manga I know is called Goth. It's not sci-fi either, and is rather short, but it's something to remember

I am looking for a good read , somthing that makes you just don't wanna stop reading somthing that makes you think about life and stuff the genre doesent realy matter i just dont want mecha/sport
Noblesse (it's a manhwa, though)SoG Tava wrote:

Orange Marmalade (also a manhwa, and like Noblesse, about vampires; both are completely different however)
Parasyte (a little on the graphic side but definitely makes you think about life, it's also complete)
One Piece (I'm serious, you get everything from it: comedy, tragedy, action, suspense)
A Certain Scientific Railgun (I say Railgun, not Index, because I feel it has a better MC, and this one will get you thinking about life)
Yotsubato (this is one of best slice of life out there)
Ansatsu Kyoushitsu (school life of outcasts + teacher with tentacles, quite interesting and unique)
Rosario + Vampire (both seasons, except the second is less lighthearted and does a good job confronting complications between inner and outer Moka)
Most of these series are already well known so I hope there's at least one you haven't read yet.
Thank you 
Have you ever read Dragon Head?!? If not that's one of my most favorite psychological horror mangas it makes you think about life and fear. And it's one of those mangas that you don't want to stop reading! (Especially the first arc!!!!!)SoG Tava wrote:

Are there some sliceoflife-drama mangas out there? If there's a physical edition that would be way better. Thank you
There are actually a lot of "slice of life" + "drama" manga out there.. However, most of them are shojo. "School life" can also be considered a sub-genre of "slice of life."Mike Azuki wrote:

As for physical editions (I'm assuming that means published-in-English volumes), I know you can find series such as Skip Beat, Fruits Basket, The Wallflower, and Oreimo in bookstores and libraries.
Among those series I know, I can only recommend Fruits Basket because it is a must read regardless of whatever gender you are or whatever genres you are into..
If you have trouble finding manga of those genres, I can suggest that you find an online website that provides free scanlations of manga and use the tags "slice of life" and "drama to filter your search down and choose a series you may be interested in. Chances are, they'll be a physical edition of it.
Read shokugeki no souma. it'll make you hungry....
My Heart is Beating (Manhwa) / Annarasumanara (Manhwa)/ 3 Level Combination (Manhwa) / A Lollypop or a Bullet.SoG Tava wrote:

Thouth I can't assure you that you will rush through them and get "impacted" the same way I did with those 4. :3
I'm looking for something like Zero (Manhwa) or Ruler of the Land, something like badass protagonist has a badass family (lol) and badass power(s) and some romance too. It can be a Manga or Manhwa, but if possible pls let it has at least 50 chapters (i don't like it too short), the longer the better. And pls no Naruto or Bleach or DBZ or something that is way too popular, so much that i know the story already.
Looking For...
Sentient Mecha (at least sentient 50% of all times) + Any genre (especially fantasy & romance (not between mechas :/ (0.000000000000000000001% only will have), but plz no extreme violence and pervert-related)
Anyone here who knows? And plz no "Doraemon", not that KAWAII sentient cat robot, lel.
I copied from "Anime Suggestion Thread", because it is a bit similar, lel.
DoraBase? It's not "really" Doraemon, but more like a spin-off of it about Baseball.Sirade wrote:

I realize that this is already two weeks old, but I think you should give 'Pluto' by Naoki Urasawa a try. It's sort of a remake of an older Astro Boy story with the main character position shifted to another robot than Atom, but absolutely worth the read.Sirade wrote:

Soul Eater.
Looking for some decent historical fiction. I'm not one for harems or ecchi, though, so those are my only qualifiers. Any suggestions?
Any particular time you're looking for? The ones I can spontaneously think of are Historie (Ancient Greece, ongoing), Vagabond (Sengoku Era, ongoing) and Vinland Saga (Vikings, ongoing).Mogsworth wrote:

Billy Bat has some historical elements as well, though gets more in the Sci-Fi direction as it progresses.
I've been meaning to read Vinland Saga, and the others sound interesting, so I'll give those a shot!Jindujun93 wrote:

As far as preferred region/period, European history prior to the 20th century is preferred but I'm open to more. I've been reading Wolfsmund and Emma lately but that's about it, so thank you for the suggestions!
got any manga recommendation? preferably good arts, psychological themed ( Prison School, Liar Game ) ?
well anything would suffix as long as it's got a good arts at least

I need one; Doesn't matter which (exept abominations like boku no pico)

Nanatsu No Taizai is one of my favorite manga
Why is the Anime thread so much more active? Manga needs some love.
Welcome to the NHK's manga adaptation is probably my most favorite of the various incarnations. Really hits home, although nowhere near as close as Oyasumi Punpun.
If you want some shonen historical, then Kingdom's always a good place to start. Things like Nobanagun are also out there, but I hope you like mechs.
pls post more in thread

In that case, I am looking for manga similar to Nichijou. I am holding off on reading it for couple months after watching the anime (because I like to forget and be surprised again), but would like some slapstick comedy reads in the meanwhile. I've read/am reading School Rumble, Azumanga Daioh, and Aho Girl, so series like that, too, are welcome.
I think the general population consists of more anime watchers than manga readers, which could explain the lack of activity..
(but yes I am aware that many do both)

Maybe Seitokai Yakuindomo? IMO it's similar to Nichijou.tanteiRE wrote:

Not asking for a suggestion. I read this manga long time ago but forget the title.
Here's the synopsis:
There was an elementary school student who is a pianist. One day he/she found a piano in the forest and tried to play it. No sound came out of it. Then he met a child his/her age and that child could play the piano brilliantly. But when he/she let that child play with a normal piano, he played very poorly.
Anyone knows what I'm talking about? Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso reminded me of this one.
