Hikaru no Go definitely!

Kare kano also but I don't think the mangaka would approve of it still...

I agree with Slam Dunk Razz.

Sigh...

Yu Yu Hakusho, for sure. It ended right after introducing some of the most interesting characters in the series, and though the ending was solid, it simply feels like there could have been more to the story. What could have happened after Yusuke spoiler[settled in the demon world for a time]? What kind of ruler would spoiler[Enki] have been? And it would have been nice to see the whole team do... something, anything together once more, including Kuwabara.

I'd love to see more FMA, maybe a relaunch featuring Alphonse as the leading man

I'm still perplexed as to why Slam Dunk is still so popular in Japan. I never really got into it but it still seems to be a defining manga in Japan. And it's awesome to see that Yu Yu Hakusho is still getting some love, I mean I don't want a continuation of it because it was kind of going down hill towards to end, but I like to know that it's still remembered well.

Oh man! For me, this is the first correct answer that should come to mind, I never wanted it to end and heck, it left open ended enough to pick it back up. Not to mention that it's AWESOME! I really hope Yumi Hotta will do at least something else at some point.

Surprised about Baby + Me. I loved the series, and wouldn't mind it continuing, either, but I didn't think it had that kind of a following in Japan. Though if we're gonna go there, might as well tack on Aishiteruze Baby as well. Cool

...Thirded! Even if it's just a one shot, I want to see Hikaru finally beat Akira!

On another note, I'm glad both the men and women want to see Kenshin continue. With all the popularity it's been getting, maybe Nobuhiro will do another future oneshot!

Kenshin had a perfect ending, I would rather someone not mess it up like they did in the anime.

With manga I think the number of volumes it should have are about 30. That gives you a lot of material, but it doesn't overstay it's welcome and drag on.

A lot of things in Japan are perplexing and popular, but not that popular with the rest of the world. Laughing

Kenshin, Fruuba, Hana-Kimi, and FMA all had good/excellent endings. I think continuing them would have killed the special spark they had. I'm quite satisfied with their endings and would be disappointed if they tried to milk it further. Some things are better left finished.

Haha true, or like how Cowboy Bebop is popular in the US but tanked in Japan.

My favorite thing about the popularity of Slam Dunk is that it is rumored to have pretty much created the interest of Basketball in Japan. Im not sure how true that is but it's still hilarious to me.

FMA had a perfect ending, one of the few manga's which did a good job on bringing a story to closure

Nodame Cantabile on the other hand still got me raging ... still can't believe how it "ended" (or should I say didn't end at all). Actually leave it, it got me so worked up and having lost faith in the mangaka I wouldn't even care about a continuation anymore
