My favorites have to be Death Note, Shaman King, and of course, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.

What are yours?

Mine are Dragon Ball, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, and Full Metal Alchemist. I have yet to read the Death Note manga but I like the show so I'm sure it will be at least decent.

Sweet. What's your fave JJBA arc? Mine are Vento Aureo, Diamond is Unbreakable and Steel Ball Run.

Vento Aureo is good, I liked DIU also but I haven't read Steel Ball Run.

Steel Ball Run is in an alternate timeline. Similar characters, but a different plot.

There's still a Joestar, a Dio, and Stands though.

What kind of manga is it? I'm guessing it's either a horror manga or a girl's manga.

Or maybe it's a horror AND girls manga. Either way, the name is cool.

Yeah, well as long as it's not any of that yaoi nonsense, I'd be interested in reading it.

Naruto (puts his fire resistance gear on), Berserk (manga is whole lot better than the anime) and Inuyasha are likely my top 3 (not in any specific order), but ofc it´s hard to pick any specific one as being "best" some have better storyline, some better fighting scenes, some better comedy and so on and so on.

Generally though what makes a good manga for me is the storyline, a good storyline is always a must.

Ok so its somewhat a girly manga.... i am a girl ya know!

Ellert : I'll forgive you for saying Naruto and Inuyasha because you also said Berserk lol

Some of my favorites

Hellsing
Battle Royale
Berserk

What I look for in a manga is first and foremost good artwork. A manga could have a great storyline but if it's artwork is crap I'd rather not read it. I'll pick up a book with no pictures instead.
The second thing is of course a good storyline. For without a good storyline the artwork, no matter how good, almost becomes pointless.

Death Note, FullMetal Alchemest, Naruto (shippuden is better), and Bleach.

My favourite ongoing manga is definitely Naruto! I'ts getting so fast paced and all the characters have came so far now haha, it's really exciting, been constantly checking for the latest chapter which should be up by now, but isn't!
Other manga I've really liked /plan to go back to are: Elfen Lied (so much better than the anime but will make you want to cry, Sooo sad!), Fairy Tail, Loveless and Bleach

My fave manga would probably be Pokemon DP: Diamond and Pearl Adventure. The main character's personality is fascinating and drew me into the manga.

I also like GinTama, Azumanga Daioh, and Yotsuba&!

Anyone ever heard of these?

legacyme3 : I think you are a little bit confused, in the manga there is not really any part of the story labeled specifically as "Shippuden", there is Part 1 that consists of all manga chapters up to 238 and then chapters 239-244 are a side story or a "Gaiden" that concerns the past of Hatake Kakashi and from 245 and onwards to the present story arch is Part two that starts at the same point as where Shippuden in the anime starts, that is when Naruto returns to Konoha(-gakure) after his journey with Jiraiya.

In the anime however the first 135 episodes are mainly the "Part 1" from the manga, the next 85 episodes are 'mostly' fillers so when judging the parts of the story it wouldn´t be prudent to say that Shippuden is better than the 220 episodes that come before it since episodes 136-220 of Naruto in the anime are not of the same quality and are not as fast paced as the episodes that follow the actual story from the manga.

So yeah, bottom line is that you need to take into account that a large part of the anime is only fillers and that the story from episodes 1-135+Shippuden-now should rather be counted as one fluent story that fits more together, and the purpose of this post, well it´s a bit of a personal campaign of mine against fillers, I just dislike fillers with a passion since they drag the quality of the story down and mislead viewers making them have a lower opinion of the whole story as it lays itself out in its entirety.

Ellert : Ohhh...kay?

Well, the second major part of the Naruto anime is called Shippuden, I think.

...But otherwise...I don't care for Naruto.

...The long explanation was rather...I don't know what...

My favorite manga's of all time were

Tsubasa Resevoir Choronicle
Vampire Knight
Bleach
xxxholic
Code Geass

(I liked the anime to all of these manga as well)

Kaiser19 : What I´m getting at is that this is a thread about manga but not anime, and the first part of Naruto is different in the manga than in the anime, the manga just has rich and awesome storyline but the anime is plagued with fillers that bring the quality of part 1 down. So it´s not quite right to state that Shippuden is better since that terms is mostly used when talking about the anime that has bad points that the manga does not have, if his initial statement had been "I liked part 2 more than part 1" I wouldn´t have been as bothered but "Naruto Shippuden is better than Naruto" implies that the fillers are taken into account as part of "Naruto" so while I hate fillers I think I can still say that it´s not quite rational in a manga thread to state that the first part of a story is worse than the 2nd part when the 1st part is different in its anime form and in its manga form.
