07-Ghost (manga)WeakAnnoying, un-detailed drawings, made this not good. Characters looked alike, most pages were filled with nothing but white, and to top it off the story wasn't well presented or that good. Don't waste your time.
+Anima (manga)GoodIt's fun, fantasy, funny, cute, and just good.
Beck (manga)DecentAlthough the anime is awesome, charming and heartwarming, the manga doesn't give the same effect, as there is no music, motion, and it drags on. It gets repetitive, and you start having instances of dejavu. It isn't horrible and if you like a fun manga its fine, just not what I want especially since I watched the anime first.
Believers (manga)ExcellentIt's only 2 volumes and I've only read the first so far, but it is intense and cool. It really gets into the psychology of people and cults, and if you don't mind seeing some nudity it is fine. On here it says its erotica, and is pornography, but from the first volume its just a bit of nudity and a sex scene. Awesome manga can't wait to read more.
Black God (manga)ExcellentUnique idea for a story, awesome fights, detailed drawings, great characters and hot girls; what more do you need. I haven't finished this because I forget its name at one point, but thankfully I remembered i, and will read more. So far it really is excellent.
Code:Breaker (manga)GoodThis is just a fun, good manga. Mostly good characters, but the main girl character can be a bit annoying at times. Decent fight scenes, good art, nice story...all around its just a good manga. I might finish it, but it is just too different from what I like. Also it has some quite humorous moments.
Dragon Head (manga)Very goodAlthough I got bored of this, and didn't finish it, I still appreciate its awesomeness. It is very good, and I don't think I've ever seen, a manga be so realistic with an unusual concept, and while having super realistic characters. Definitely worth a read.
Eden - It's an Endless World! (manga, Hiroki Endo)ExcellentOne I started reading, but I stopped because I found out that it takes forever for more volumes to get scanlated. I decided I'll wait for it all to be out so I can read it all in one go, because it really is an amazing manga. Just excellent all around, from story, to characters, to art, to realism, to awesome post-apocalyptic world. READ IT!
Goodnight Punpun (manga)ExcellentDefinitely one of the greatest manga's I've ever read. I have never seen an author mix such amazing art, with comical art, insanely funny humor, and extreme psychological/philosophical seriousness all in one, and not just in one, but on one page. I can't wait for for more chapters because it is absolutely amazing. Amazing themes on love, and self, and goals.
Hatsukanezumi no Jikan (manga)Very good
Himizu (manga)ExcellentOnly read the first 18 chapters because I couldn't find anymore than that, but it is, hilarious, and true at the same time. Cool psychological manga check it out.
Historie (manga)ExcellentHOLY PISS!!!! This manga is awesome, I just want more chapters to be released. Historical, amazing art, psychological, philosophical...just read it.
Monster (manga)ExcellentAwesome mystery manga, by one of the best mystery authors.
ONE OUTS - Nobody wins, but I! (manga)Very goodGood psychological manga by the author of Liar Game, and its about baseball. Interesting.
Psyren (manga)Excellent
Rosario + Vampire Season II (manga)Badlol just bad, and a bunch of fan service. None of the charm the first had.
Übel Blatt (manga)Very gooddoesn't start off great, and the start is just kind of lame (porn) but the author smartened up and made a cool, dark, psychological manga, thats definitely worth reading.
Vagabond (manga)ExcellentUp there with the likes of PunPun. Amazing...just simply amazing. It's historical, long, a little complicated, insanely awesome cast of characters, and awesome philosophies. A must.
(The) World God Only Knows (manga)Excellent

Read allRatingComment
20th Century Boys (manga)ExcellentAwesome complex story, must read.
21st Century Boys (manga)ExcellentSequel to the "Awesome complex story, must read." 20th first century boys. This just concludes everything and finishes off the awesomeness.
Akumetsu (manga)ExcellentAnother amazing manga, and would be am masterpiece if the end wasn't rushed. Very violent, very smart, very intense, very amazing. Must read.
Alive (manga by T Takahashi)GoodCool psychological thriller but its short. Give it a shot.
Bakuman. (manga)ExcellentOne of the best popular manga's you'll ever read and its by the makers of Death Note (also one of the best popular manga's). Crazy awesome story, with uniqueness, great characters, and romance. However it isn't generic at all. Each chapter gives you a lot and never leaves you on a super cliffhanger, but enough to keep your craving. It's about to guys who want to be mangakas, and one of them will get married to the girl he loves when he gets an anime, and the girl will be the voice actor in the anime. Lame? Not at all! The romance bs is pushed to the back, but is presented perfectly. Read it.
Bitter Virgin (manga)Very goodInteresting romance, manga, haven't read anything like it. Can't describe it either.
Black Cat (manga by K. Yabuki)DecentDecent battle manga.
Bleach (manga)Very goodBleach...well its a shonen manga, with fast battles, good art, and cool characters. A lot of stuff happens fast, and there isn't much story, so the action is always there.
Bloody Monday (manga)Very goodInteresting story about a hacker. Read it.
Blue Heaven (manga)Very goodBy the dude that did Alive. This is better, more violent, more interesting and longer though.
Count Cain (manga)Badgay
Death Note (manga)ExcellentOne of the greatest manga's out there, I'd say. It would probably be one of the greatest if the second part wasn't there.
Doubt (manga by Y. Tonogai)Very goodCrazy psychological, horror, mystery. Read it.
ES (manga)ExcellentAwesome concepts, that are very interesting. About cloned humans with special powers. Read it.
Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)Very goodJust a great manga. Really you should read it. Funny, sad, intelligent, cool, awesome,..everything.
G Senjou Heaven's Door (manga)WeakKind of boring, and unrealistic. Random stuff that has no point, and overreacting characters make this annoying as fuck.
Gantz (manga)ExcellentOh boy this one. Its Gantz. An amazingly intense, long, gory, amazing, sci-fi that just keeps getting better. Read it its amazing.
Goth (manga)BadTerrible pacing, makes what could have been a good horror, psychological, mystery manga, into an annoying and dumb manga.
Homunculus (manga)ExcellentCrazy, manga that brings you to places you didn't want to go, but shows you something interesting, unique, and intelligent. Some good psychology/philosophy here.
Liar Game (manga)ExcellentAmazing psychological manga, with a creative idea, and has some of the best battle of wits ever. Very like Death Note in the way that there really isn't any other manga with the "Battle of Wits" style action. I loved Death Note, and too be honest I loved this even more. Must read.
Manhole (manga)ExcellentAwesome horror/mystery with some cool science involved, and a great theme.
Maoh: Juvenile Remix (manga)ExcellentEntertaining, interesting, psychological story.
M×0 (manga)Excellent
Naruto (manga)Very goodNaruto is Naruto. It's a fun, entertaining, battle manga with a lot of twists.
Nijigahara Holograph (manga)Very goodAwesome fractured story, with amazing philosophies and...just read it it's by the awesome man that did Goodnight Punpun!
One Piece (manga)ExcellentWHAT THE BALLS!? How does someone make such an awesomely funny, touching, and interesting battle manga, that just keeps getting more detailed, better, and intelligent? Idk but this guy did, and One Piece is one of the best manga's out there. All you shounen and popular manga haters can stfu.
Parasyte (manga)ExcellentAn amazing manga. All around. About aliens on this planet that take over your bodies. All the great stuff.
Planetes (manga)DecentIts k. Awesome up until the fourth volume which ended badly. It ended up taking away most plot, gave a cheesy ending, and went for pointless character development on the characters that didn't matter. However it brought up some good and interesting points. It is awesome for its themes.
Pluto (manga)ExcellentBy the Awesome-man that did 20th Century Boys. Another awesome complex story, and it takes Astro-Boy and makes it 10000x more darker and awesome.
Pretty Face (manga)DecentFunny, ecchi, romance manga.
Rosario + Vampire (manga)Decent
Shamo (manga)Very goodFucking weird, and intense. About a guy that kills his parents and goes through a bunch of shit while learning to be an amazing fighter to take anyone out that is in his way.
Shin Angyo Onshi (manhwa)ExcellentHighly recommended. Interesting fantasy, with all the great schtuff.
Sundome (manga)MasterpieceLol. It really isn't a masterpiece I just did that for the laughs. However, when you get past all the pornography stuff, you get what is a retardedly funny, and crazy psychological manga, with some very interesting points, and perspectives.
Tsubasa, RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE (manga)Decent

Will not finishRatingComment
D.Gray-man (manga)Not really goodCool at first, but then got stupid and hard to follow.
Freesia (manga by J.Matsumoto)Not really goodI can see why many people praise this manga, but it really is just, hard to follow and rather boring. The dystopia setting is interesting, and the characters seem cool, but they really could be more interesting. There were some cool parts, but overall it just bored me.
