Manga....

I just started reading some manga recently (Berserk, and it fucking OWNS), and i must say i much prefer it to traditional comics....far more development, better art, its much more like a graphic novel than a comic....

Anyone else? Thoughts? Opinions?

I do. Junji Ito's stuff is great if you like horror manga with some really weird art (esp. Uzumaki).

some good Manga titles:

Akira (very long but amazing)
Battle Angel Alita (action packed and well written)
Domu (creepy with psychic warfare)
Hell Baby (great horror manga)

My faves are Kill me Kiss me, Remote (though I don't know if they have a second volume translated yet), and Gravitation even though I prefer the Anime...the characters look a bit odd in the Manga.

I have read the entire Love Hina series I LOVE it:D...but loving characters and getting to know every little part of them and never hearing their voices can make the crossover from manga to anime VERY hard, esp. with REALLY crappy voice overs and unwanted added accents:mad: lol sorry, I just had to get that out:cool:

I haven't read many manga, I have the first two Sailor Moon books (sooooooo much better than the anime just from what I've seen) the first Trigun Maximum book (tee hee Fairy Boy [Arioch] helped me pay for that one:D :p ) I also have the first xxxHolic book, I really liked it, the second one is already out, but the third doesn't come out until Nov. so I'm going to wait to get it.


Manga I would really like to check out...
Chobits,(i've heard alot of good things about it)
Cardcapter Sakura, ( heard it's better than the anime and I really liked to story line)
Eerie queerie (I read a lil of it in a Tokyo Pop preview book, looks hilarious!)



EDIT: OoOoOoh do I get the "longest post in this thread award"? cause I made the longest one *does a really stupid dance* lol sorry, I'm tired
