Yeah, I can see why someone might not like the ending. I thought it was interesting though, really caught you by surprise.
Usually, though, I have little tolerance with shojo. Especially those that deal almost entirely with high school life.  Yeah, that's basically 90% of them, but I get enough 'high school drama' in my life already. Be they novels or manga, I read mostly for escapism. I like titles that take me to another place, and usually, those titles are shonen.

The worst magna I've read was Ayashi no Ceres. It was execrable. I mean, it was pitiful reading about how everybody spoiler[attempted to rape Aya, even her brother.]

I'm sorry that you didn't like Ceres. I personally feel that it is one of Watase-san's best works. But, naturally, you are entitled to your own opinion! Have you read Fushigi Yugi or Alice 19th? Those are also two of her titles and I highly recommend them. As for the title that I liked the least, it would have to be Angelic Layer by CLAMP. I hated the reason why Misaki's mother would see her. Because the woman was spoiler[freaking shy about the people she loved!   ] At least the anime gave a MUCH better reason why the mother wasn't in Misaki's life.

"Just about everybody"? As I recall, only two people tried rape Aya and only one of them really cared about going through with it. Two people is far from "everybody".. |

No, but I had read Imadoki and some Absolute Boyfriend and it is enough for me to know that I don't like this author. Sorry, but for me, the characters in her manga are always annoying or indifferent (in the best case)
well, actually, i don't remember exactly how many people tried rape Aya I had read this three years ago with hope i forgot as soon as possible. Sorry, but I do not change my opinion. I still think it was pitiful. There was something irksome in this. |

Interesting topic, but I have to say that there is truly no worst manga for me. More along the lines of [several manga that have failed to catch my attention, therefore I will not read them ever again, or finish them]. My Will Not Finish Section has what titles fall under the above mentioned right now.

I'm not trying to change your opinion, but the statement you made was simply wrong. |

Exempting porn, I'd say Air Gear, Tenten, and probably anything Oh! Great does. Gravity-defying samurai ninja boobies only go so far. Probably not the worst manga I've read (though down there), I choose these titles because of the mangaka's ironic pen name, Oh! Great. No, just no.

I haven't found many manga I've hated (Except Buso Renkin and Dragon-Half. Blech). But there are alot of anime I don't like. Chokotto Sister, Dragon-Half, Crayon Shin Chan, those are just some I think are the worst ever.

Worst manga? Hmm, would have to be Blood the Last Vampire 2002 for me; the artwork in it is awful, not up to the usual standard of manga art that I'm used to seeing.
Most disappointing manga series though is Read or Die; I love the anime series, but the frenetic energy of the paper battles that so enthralled me in the anime is lost when seen in manga form. Read or Dream on the otherhand is much better, due to the fact that it's much more character orientated than action based. |

Desire has to be the worst manga I have read. It's a really cheesy yaoi manga and I couldn't stop laughing at the story line. I prefered the manga to FLCL than the anime, probably because I saw it first. That manga isn't really that great but not as bad as Desire.

Whaaaat? Blood hardly has horrible artwork; not by a long shot, even if the story was lame. I'm assuming you don't like Tamaoki's style, but his proficiency as an artist is undeniable. |

I tend not to buy terrible manga, though the worst I have read so far has probably been Samurai Champloo. The anime was really great IMO, but the manga fails on all levels. The artwork was terrible, it was really rough around the lines. The style was completely lost in transition and it really failed to impress me. I might of browsed worse manga in the store, though nothing pops into my mind at the moment.

Read or Die is also a new edition to my most-disliked titles. The manga artist must have been a hentai artist because he gave Yumiko a DD chest and what the heck was she doing on page 20!?!?! And the story line was so blah, like it was for a little kid. It didn't I put my volume 1 up for sale on the day I bought it and it never sold. Garbage. |
