Favorite Mangas

What are some of your favorite mangas? Aside from the common ones (Naruto, Bleach, Death Note, etc). If you have a link to the manga, please post it.

Here's one I discovered recently that I thought was pretty good:
Until Death Do Us Part - Despite the name, it is not a romance story. It's about a blind guy who kicks ass.

This one isn't bad, either:
Ubel Blatt

This one is just plain great:
Fairy Tail

Here's one that's fairly new but shows great potential:
Luck Stealer

Another good one:
Immortal Regis


Okay, that's enough from me for now. Your turn.

Well, Haar, up until now, I didn't have access to Manga, but thanks to you, I do. And this Until Death do us Part stuff is awesome!

Berserk and Hellsing. That's it, really.

I prefer my reading materials to have grey, not black and white. Manga thrives on telling you who is good and who is bad. Sure, it may not tell you which to like, but I dislike that. "Here's Mr. Hero. He has no character flaws, is perfect in every way (Unless plot demands it, then he'll be just shy of perfect until a certain point in the story), and overall is a very likable guy - even if he acts in ways most people normally would not like."

It's mostly true in shonen type manga but not in seinen like Berserk for example.

Mhh Ubel Blatt is not bad indeed ^_^
The plot is clearly very good !

Fairy tail.. well I keep hearing a LOT about this one I should really look into it.

Me I think my favorite manga must be One Piece. I have read a lot and I just have never seen such attaching characters ^_^

Really? I'm a big fan of One Piece as well. I rarely get glimpses of the manga, but it looks to be even more awesome than the One Piece anime.

I also enjoyed reading a few Tokyo Mew Mew mangas, just out of guilty pleasure.

You'll probably like this manga:
Akumetsu

Oh, yeah. There's those 2 as well.

My favorite Mangas are:

Jing: King of Bandits

Dragon Ball Z

Naruto

Hellsing, Rosiro+Vampire, Excel Saga, Trigun, and Rangarok are the ones I've got going at the moment.

how can it be that there is no link to:

One Piece : http://www.onemanga.com/One_Piece/

my favorite manga in ranking order

1: "One piece" Find it hilariuos and great imaginative characters

2: "Bleach" Love the action in it

3: "FullMetal Alchemist" The story

(P.S i love all the mangaka's artwork)

Trust me, if you like the characters in One Piece, you'll love the characters in Fairy Tail.

Here's one I just found:

Laon - It's definitely a strange one. It can get a tiny bit confusing at some parts. The first two or three chapters have horrible translations, but it is understandable. This manga has quite a bit of vore in it, and it looks like future releases will have even more!

Drowtales
Umi no Misaki
Akuma Jiten (Note: All characters are hilarious, the more hellish the better)
Omamori Himari (Humor, fanservice, fights, and youkai! What's not to like?)
Aaa! Megami-sama! (yeah, burn me, but I LIKE it)
Mahou Sensei Negima!
Bleach
Oretama (Note: This one can definitely be considered hentai, but the plot is downright hilarious. The hentai isn't the focus...so much as his, ah, predicatment)
History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi (Speaks entirely for itself)
Nagasarete Airantou (Machi the shorty vodoo miko owns all, as does Ikuto's inability to accept the supernatural features of life)

And while technically it is not a manga at all and more of a daily comic strip, I have a soft spot for Turnsignals on a Landraider
And the Web Comic Looking for Group also must be mentioned.
Edit: Point well taken Malahite...
Edit 2: Same to Daejin

Turnsignals on a Landraider is not a Manga. xP

Black Cat
Black Lagoon
Claymore
Fate/Stay Night
Tsukihime
Moon Phase
Steel Angel Kurumi
Hyper Police
Heyate Combat Butler
Negima
Gunslinger Girl
School Rumble
Rozen Maiden
Record of Lodoss War
Id-entity
+anima

i love this one, even if it only has one chapter per month or so.
Monster Hunter Orage

Hm, this is definitely necroposting, but... since it's an open question that doesn't really have an end, and besides, this is the off-topic forum, I think I'll let it slide. Don't go reviving too many posts, though.

Good, Ilceren! Have a moderator treat for being so active. *Tosses one*

Since it's been revived and I had no idea it existed anyway here's my top manga:

Fairy Tail: (Diverse story, awesome characters and winged, blue talki8ng cat! What's not to love?)|

One Piece: (Despite the silly looking illustration style Once Piece is way, way better writen than Dragon Ball Z and has the most unique world setup I've ever seen for the Genre of "Pirate Story".)

Bleach: (Particully though the Arrancar Arc. Gotta love the sheer number of swords in this series and how the autor keeps using the the whole "Yin and Yang" balancing theory to generate more and more characters.)

Rave Master: (It doesn't seem it but this campy looking little manga is insanely well written and has some pretty strong characters.)

Inuyasha: (I just recently started reading it and already I love it to pieces! Feudral era, demons, fantasy battles and magic. @u@ Adrenaline overload. Then there's the hilarious characters.)

Naruto: (I love the coordination and world setup in Naruto, never mind the awesome style of illustration.)

Zero's Familar: (XD This manga technically is Echii content but it's got such a funny story I thought I'd mention it anyway)
