NHS started out as a miniseries that mainly parodied famous anime and manga conventions (Urusei Yatsura appears to be the main influence). The story centers on Jeremy Feeple, an ordinary student at Quagmire High, living an ordinary life. Shortly into the story, a beautiful female ninja named Itchy Koo (real name Ichikun Ichinohei) and an alien princess named Asrial appear. The earlier stories focus on the girls' comedic attempts to marry this seemingly plain, ordinary high school boy.

I am so cutting edge.

Oh, I know that dude...the one that made it I mean. I have a couple of his books on drawing manga. He's not exactly my favorite but he's a good artist.
I have two ideas for manga, at the moment. The first is about a drunken, inebriated swordsman nicknamed Yamato no Orochi, wielder of the legendary sword Kusanagi, who is summoned by strange Nipponese cultists to fight off an alien force that has subjugated Japan. The other is about a summer camp from hell, and involves killer whales, wendigos, sarcastic summer campers, an Assistant Director with no tongue, and Death.

Oh, and there's also the ninja idea. That's three.

I'm too lazy to google it. The hell is a wendigo? First thing to my head is that green monkey in FF8.
Long before the creation of the United States, shamans roamed the Americas. For centuries they patrolled the land, quieting the spirits and righting wrongs; but then the Europeans came, and drove the shamans into the darkest corners of the United States, greatly reducing their number. Seeking revenge, the shamans placed on their consecrated grounds a terrible curse; anyone who entered their hunting grounds would lose his name and soul to the wild, and become a hulking, ferocious beast with no chance of redemption, for as long as he lived. Such a creature, more wretched than the werewolf and darker in spirit than even those who dwell in the Dark Places, is called a wendigo.

Yeti, Bigfoot kind of thing (I think).

Serious, though, my manga would be about a regular white collar dude who is whisked away by a mysterious stranger with phenomenal powers (think DBZ, but cooler. With motorbikes. And swords.) just as the building he works in explodes. Alien mechs are attacking earth (motive - humans are discovering a Force-like power, that this advanced alien race fears.) This guy who rescues our hero is a different alien who has "Force" powers and teaches our hero his connection. A cool war between the surviving humans/these helper aliens/humans with force powers and these advanced mecha-aliens would ensue.

It would be like DBZ vs. Mechwarrior featuring Jedi powers, robots, space aliens and rogue AIs. Only cooler.
Couldn't you make this an RPG? It could be like A Blurred Line meets Knights of the Old Republic! Meets Akira!

I could try, but it's awesomeness may be severely reduced.
