Anyone read Manga???

[MiikesSunglasses]

If so what are your faves??

I myself don't care for a lot of the 'kawaii' big eyes nonsense, and giant robots don;t rock my brain either. But i recently started reading the Lone Wolf and Cub series and was damn impressed.

Unfortunately a lot of the more interesting titles are only available thru downloading fan translations (which are generally very well done). For example Hideo Yamamotos original KOROSHIYA 1 comic can be found online and is WELL worth a read.

I have also just recently started reading Lone Wolf & Cub, been obsessed by the film for a while and the TV series rules so just started collecting the first publiching versions...though I have a long way to go:)

That's all I've read but I really want to read Rurouni Kenshin because the anime rocks!

How's MPD Psycho?

[MiikesSunglasses]

MPD PSYCHO is an interesting read, to be honest couldn't have made heads or tails of the Miike series of if i hadn't read the comic first.

The artwork is great though- clean and crisp line drawings.

EDIT: LWaC is brill ain't it? Getting the first season of the TV show soon- apparantly it is more faithful to the manga. Dark Horse have recently published Samurai Executioner which is by the same team, a precursor to LWaC.

I bought all the lone wolf books as they came out and it cost a small fortune. I also had the aborted run from first comics - only 45 issues were done and they were small and expensive. Some months later you could get all 28 books on ebay for not much more than $100.
Samurai executioner is 10 volumes. I'm going to wait until it's finished and get it on ebay.
I've not read any others for ages. I used to like crying freeman, 2001 nights and mai the psychi girl.

I currently read:

Battle Royale
Stormriders
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

all three are amongst my Favs Mangas of All time!

Battle Royal: just like the book... except now it's illustrated and the gore in the drawing is particulary detailed and shit... GREAT stuff!

Stormriders... seen the movie? well so far the movie is somewhat between chapter 5 and 7... I'm now at chapter 67...or is it 76? lol Incredible story... detailed art... Just great!

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon: The art is just Simply Amazing!!!!!!! but not only the art... the story and everything is great... story kicks off when Li Mu Bai is still pretty young and Jade Fox assassinate Mu Bai's master 'cuz he hit on her... Jade is a *Bleep* BABE when she's young... and voloptuous... who wouldnt want to hit on her?!!! LOL

usamaru fuya's short cuts, even a monkey can draw manga, uzumaki, bakune young, anything by junko mizuno, and pulp magazine in general are my favorites.

say, can we sell/trade stuff on here? i have a few mangas i could part with if anybody is interested. i'll sell them cheap. i'm broke. i used to read pulp a lot, but they don't carry it around here any more. the ones i have are: neon genesis evangelion vol 1
silent mobious 7
revolutionary girl utena vol 1
blade of the immortal: the gathering
battle angel alita: angel of redemption (i actually have all but 1 or 2 of this series. i have 2 copies of this.

these retail for 16.00 a piece, but i would part with them for like 5 shipped. or 20 for all 5 shipped. i have some more i plan to keep, but i'm broke so if you need anything just ask.

if you can't trade on here, it's cool. just ignore this. i know a lot of forums have a problem with that. if it's cool, email me at [e-mail]
