Title: What are your top five manga series?!!
Post by: Arcademan on December 30 2007, 09:11 am
One was started for anime...why not manga? It's been awhile since we had a thread like this and as in anime, taste and habits change over time. So, without further ado, here's my list:

1) Cardcaptor Sakura
2) Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle
3) E.S. (Eternal Sabbath)
4) Rurouni Kenshin
5) Sugar Sugar Rune

Honorable mentions:

Practically anything CLAMP.

Can't we all include a short motivation why we like these manga? Otherwise it'll just be pointless name dropping, no different from the threads in The "What" Board. Who knows, maybe your motivation will help to get someone interested in your favourite series?

In order:

1. Cardcaptor Sakura - because it's so damn adorable, and I love how it gently pokes fun at the magical girl shoujo genre, as well as its message about acceptance.

3. Tokyo Babylon - which I would proclaim CLAMP's best work to date. The serious, much more real life-related themes than what is usual in CLAMP works, the social critism... I love that.

2. RG Veda - because it contains everything that a CLAMP manga should have - tragic, twisted love, gorgeous artwork, destiny and yes, even eye losses!

4. TRC - probably because it's the first unfinished manga I've ever followed, and thus during the years I've grown to care so very much for the characters, but also because of its hopeful message and how the characters grow during the series.

5. xxxHolic - the lovely artwork, and the philosophy.

Ahem. I do read other manga besides CLAMP, I just... don't like them as much.

As for the Kingdom Heart series... I was vastly disappointed....  I only have the first book, but I found it went by waaaaaaaay to fast.  Y_Y

Okay, lessee, top five....

1.Fruits Basket.  And I must say, I'm vastly dissappointed this is on noone's top five.
2.Shutterbox
3.Tsubasa
4.Chobits.  Not shy on the subject of nude women, but the story is very, very good.
5.Death Note

Jing:  King of Bandits would be a close tie with 5 though.
