Yokohama Kadaishi Kikou
user posted image

QUOTE
The story is set in a peaceful post-cataclysmic world where mankind is in decline after an environmental disaster. What that disaster is, the reader is never told, but sea levels have risen significantly, inundating many coastal cities such as Yokohama. The reduced human population has reverted to a simpler life, and the reader is told that humans are witnessing the twilight of their age. Instead of raging against their fate, there seems to be a quiet acceptance.

Yokohama Kaidashi Kikō is noted for its beautifully spare pen and ink drawing style, as well as its calm, meticulously paced stories and engaging characters. Some of the chapters have no dialogue at all, and in most of the stories the dialogue only amounts to a few lines.

I really love this manga, and untill now I never know why. It maybe the simple but et deep storyline, or the fact that we never know the mystery surrounding what really happened, or it's just that the human interaction is really good in the story. It's just a really really good read

There's an exact same topic on Back to Reality on GameFAQs ><.

But anyway, I didn't read a lot of manga, and the ones I've read are pretty popular, but still, there are 2 manga that I recommend to everyone and it'd be a waste to miss them:
-Rurouni Kenshin
-Death Note.
Hangmen

I see that most read mild to heavy ecchi/hentai. Loli too. Coincidence?

Cuz' these are the things that our 'morally upholding' local translators wouldn't want touch. But hey, I wouldn't blame them, seeing the response of some village folks who blames the West (LOL?) for what they see as blasphemous, corrupting monstrosity. Even if it did make it here, there will be those nasty black and white marks blocking even the slightest armpit gap.

NO. It's so all over the place I just don't feel like reading them.

Title : あさっての方向。 (Japanese)
Asatte no Houkou (romanize)
A Direction of the Day After Tomorrow (English)

Well, some of you guy watch it before, but the anime is really mild compare to manga. There's lot of thing goin on. and the story is really way different from the anime, and its darker and more mysterious compare to the anime. Its bout 2 girl, who wish upon wishing stone, n Shoko (an adult) revert into her childhood body while Karada become adult. And they are on the journey searchin bout the wishing stone (the only way to revert them back).

Sorry I miss the introduction line and didn't notice this topic about non-mainstream manga. But....

Does mature theme mean manga is good? Not having mature theme doesn't mean it's bad. Having mature theme doesn't automatically make something good either.

And as if I am free enough to troll the topic. So get a life before you start accusing everyone trolling, mr-spot-the-troll-genius </sarcasm>.

Erm just because it's popular doesn't mean it's bad though. Being popular could mean it has a high chance of being overated but it doesn't automatically turned something bad. At least I always try something before I judge it.

Highschool of the Dead

user posted image

If you've watched Land of The Dead, you'd surely be familiar with this manga as it is somewhat similar to the story with a difference in culture and characters.

In this case, you have the usual Japanese-men-reading-manga style of some ecchi scenes involved as the students of the highschool fight against zombies.

Comes with pantsu, naked bodies and otaku firing guns. Does not come with tissues however.

Total chapters so far: 9

add these then
- Bastard!
- Berserk
- Gekkou

And my personal favourite, Angel Densetsu
QUOTE
Angel Densetsu is a story about Seiichirou Kitano, a kind and naive boy with the heart of an angel, but the sinister looks of a devil. This causes many misunderstandings, leading people to assume that he is a villain or heroin addict, and results in a career as the head thug, or "school guardian" at his new school.

Two superior mango you simply MUST READ!

JoJo's Bizzare Adventures:

Fist of the North Star:

It simply is compulsory for everyone to read these MANLY mangos. JoJo is spreaded over several parts, each with a new generation of Joestar lineage and their storyline. Yes, the WRYYYYYYY and steamroller thing originated from Jojo, part 3 (and the most badass part, just for the ORAORAORAORAORAORA alone) of it, to be more specific.

Get Jojo's bizzare adventure here:

^ lul whut is this "Comics House"? I've been out of touch with the physical mangos that can be bought/rented at shops since forever ago already.

But yeah, still gonna post it anyway, just in case there were slowpokes like me out there who have yet to realise how awesome those two were (I used to saw Jojo comic books being advertised every loving where some 10 years ago, but I never liked the artwork, and have no idea why it's so popular back then).
