So i started to read mangas in the past 3 weeks,Now i really don't know that much about manga as i do about american comics.
1st few question for the manga experts

Do they new manga come out every week/bi weekly or once a month?

How long do they tend to run?

Is there site where they have release dates for manga or database of some sort.

I started reading

Pluto
D.Gray man
Full metal alchemist

Is there any manga you guys would recommend i check out
Any info will be greatly apperciate.

Manga can be released weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly (or also whenever they feel like it in the case of some manga). The situation varies from title to title. The run time is also not really set in stone. Usually how it goes is it last as long as it's popular, or until the author finishes the story. Example; Naruto has been running since 2000 and is still going. The series is popular and the manga-ka has not decided to end it. But Genshiken only gets 9 volumes because the manga-ka brought the story to an end. As for the question about a site with manga release dates listed I'm un-aware of one.

If you like Pluto I'd suggest checking out some of Naoki Urasawa's other works like 20th Century Boys. And if you like D. Gray-Man then you might enjoy Soul Eater. But really I'd suggest just going out there and picking up some random titles. That's what I did when I first started (I still often do this). It helps establish a base for you to start with, and you can go from there.

Actually, this November is the 10th anniversary but it first began two years earlier as a one shot comic.
