Usually I've seen more than a few episodes of things on this list. If I intend to watch it through, I will leave it here regardless of how long its been since I saw an episode.

Read some Rating Comment
+/- Junkie (manga)
Akame ga KILL! (manga) Interesting fantasy setting. Story follows a character who joins a group of assassins who act on behalf of a rebellion. I've enjoyed the story and the characters a fairly interesting. One thing I can't figure out is why it's named after the character Akame when she isn't the main character.
Basilisk (manga)
Claymore (manga)
Clover (manga, CLAMP)
Comic Girls (manga)
Cromartie High School (manga) Very good This is hilarious. Everyone needs to read it. Go buy it now! ^_^
Dengeki Daisy (manga)
Elfen Lied (manga)
Fruits Basket (manga) I enjoy this manga, it is very similiar to the anime; but you get a slightly different plot and commentary from the original artist.
Fullmetal Alchemist (manga) Very good This has a different story order from the manga. There are also some differences in the plot, but I don't want to discuss them here.
Gantz (manga) Gantz is more graphic than its anime counterpart (which is saying a lot). However, unlike some, the violence in this is not just there for shock value, but it enhances the plot.
Goblin Slayer (manga) A straightforward fantasy story. Well told, well drawn. Definitely rated R, but really good.
GTO: The Early Years (manga) This manga is interesting if you've seen GTO, but its a bit too crude to fit with the other GTO series.
Message to Adolf (manga) Masterpiece This manga has the best plot and art that I have seen in any manga in my life.
Neon Genesis Evangelion (manga) Good This can be summed up as the character designer said at the end of the 2nd volume. Shinji in the anime is stoic on the inside and screwed up on the outside. In the manga, Shinji is screwed up on the outside and stoic on the inside. The plot is somewhat different from the anime, and quite frankly I like it this way.
Path of the Assassin (manga) Really good story and characters. Well done art. This is a good series if you overlook the 5-10 pages of unncecessary explicit pornographic scenes. :-( It reminds me of watching an old Japanese movie. Very entertaining.
Peace Maker Kurogane (manga) This is confusing if you haven't seen the anime. North American readers like myself will find it hard to understand as it is a sequel to the first manga series. Wait until you finish the original manga before reading this one. (watch the anime too!)
Samurai Executioner (manga) Very good
Train Man: A Shojo Manga
Trigun (manga) Almost exactly the same as the anime, the plot is expanded from the anime in Trigun Maximum. Worth reading
Tsubasa, RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE (manga) Very good This is another CLAMP manga and so for is quite entertaining. The plot begins with Yuko from Xxxholic sending Sayoran and Sakura on a journey through dimensions to recover her memories, although they are best friends, the price Sayoran pays for her services is that she will no longer have any memory of him. Along the way they add two more to their numbers. This is sort of a manga version of Quantum Leap, as in each dimension they have something that needs to be resolved to locate a magic feather that embodies a missing memory. This is a fun adventure and if you've read any other CLAMP manga, you'll see lots of little references and different versions of established characters. For a complete picture, read this alongside Xxxholic as there is a good bit of crossover.
xxxHOLiC (manga) Good Excellent story, funny dialog, interesting characters. CLAMP does it again! Read Tsubasa for all the cross-over plot.
