WHATS YOUR FAVOURITE MANGA/COMIC RIGHT NOW?

Right now I'm really loving Shingeki no Kyojin. The fact that even the main characters can and will fail even in important situations makes their determination so much more badass.
Reminds me of the golden days of Berserk a bit.
Too bad I don't like some parts of the art very much (action scenes are good, but faaces were really horrible in the beginning), but it's improving.

-Liar Game

Reading this at the moment. It's not bad at what it does, although each round can get so ridiculously complicated I actually end up memorising all the rules just so I have even the faintest idea of what's going on.

I don't know, I don't think there's that much of an actual *story* outside the small quantities of character development here and there (I'm on volume 10 and Fukunaga's easily the most interesting character so far); I just enjoy seeing Akiyama execute some insanely well thought out plan whenever a clever bastard seems to have won (dat Yokoya, the sneaky SOB).

I knew about 'Roots of A' but didn't realise there was much live-action apart from a single season, cheers for the heads up!

Heh when I first read Eden no Ori, I was only reading it for the ecchi stuffs. :$ Never thought I'd get hooked up on it <3 Though I really wish there wouldn't be so many fanservice now... :(


The author of Mirai Nikki has a new manga out called "Big Order"!! The characters resemble most of the 12 participants in the diary game, especially Yuno and Yuki, and yes, the girl is still axe crazy. :P


Has anyone read Battle Royale II? How the heck did this turned into this?! On the bright side, no more gores, so yay! 8)

I may have read over it, but has nobody mentioned Death Note as their favourite manga yet?

Whoa! How could I forget DN?! Of course it's one of my favorites! It was the first anime that I've watched and is what got me into mangas. ^^ Didn't mention it since it's long been completed. I haven't finished the manga since the anime and the manga aren't really different, but I prefer the anime because Ryuk isn't much of a jerk in the end.

Oh and am I the only one who actually don't like either Kira/L? I agree with Kira's 'philosophy' and his extreme methods but I'm not exactly fond of him, the one that I despise more is L since he only solves cases out of curiosity and not justice. Rem is my favorite character btw. "Near" also kinda looked like Joshua from TWEWY. :S

Gah why is the mangaka so secretive?! No one even knows his real identity x_x I wish he'd publish mangas similar to DN instead of Bakuman :(

Man, I've been reading Eden no Ori since they found the bad berries~ It's a great manga - right up my alley - though I too wish they'd cut out some of the fanservice. Still, watching the growth of the manga/mangaka from someone who made fanservice manga to someone who has created an interesting story and characters is great.

That Battle Royale also looks like it is interesting. So far I've read up to the Odd couple being killed and it's kinda hooked me in. I'm not a fan of gore, but I can deal with it (same with fanservice) - hell, I read Gantz for ages until it started to get stupid.

I think people are tying the two together because a movie for Battle Royale came out a year or so ago and it's still fresh in that genre for movies.

Also, the art differences between the first and second are caused by different artists. Sometimes a mangaka is paired with an artist that the publisher thinks has the right look for the manga in question. After the first BR the artist might have been moved to work on a different manga and they had to get someone else in to work on it. A lot of the time mangaka draw the manga themselves, but there are cases of mangaka teaming up or finding a secondary artist or, in some cases, pairing up with a professional artist to make a manga. It's like comic books. The writers aren't necessarily the artists.
