![]() ![]() Credits: 23,601 | Need Help I'm looking for a new manga to read, it doesn't have to be completed, though something that is finished is prefered. I'm looking for either a solid shounen one, something like Berserk would do. OR... A thought-provoking one, something like Confidentil Confessions would do. OR... a student teacher relationship one with LOTS of character development would be best. My tastes are more for the mature aduience or the insanely childish ones. ![]()

![]() Credits: 3,380 | Re: Need Help Well what have you read so far? If your looking for something like Berserk (which I would recomend anyway As for Thought Provoking there's Deatenote. It's a Crime/Horror Manga which follows a Student called Light/Kira who find the Notebook of a Death God (Shinigami) and uses it to kill criminals and right the wrongs of society. There is then a second character called L who is working against Light/Kira to try and catch him. The main thought process behind this is whether you believe Light is correct that by becoming a killer himself he can grant Justice or whether L is right in that Light/Kira is nothing more than a killer himself therefore any justice promoted in this way is Hypocritical?

![]() ![]() Credits: 27,684 | Re: Need Help There are several that I would recommend: Lovely complex, Nana, Kare Kano, Ai Yori Aioshi, Suzuka. Yes, they're all Romantic comedies (Nana's not really much of a comedy, but its highly developed), but they all have enjoyable story lines, and all except One are finished (Nana).

![]() ![]() Credits: 61,124 | Re: Need Help Sounds like you're looking for seinen (eg. Berserk), not shounen (eg. Naruto): Try searching for more info about "Gantz", "RAINBOW", "ALIVE", "Skyhigh", "20th Century Boys", "MONSTER", and/or "MPD Psycho"... all are good seinen series you might enjoy. On the fantasy side of the spectrum: "Bastard!" is a fun retro fantasy which, while lighter in tone than Berserk is definately from the same general camp (and is aimed at grown men)...

![]() ![]() Credits: 23,601 | Re: Need Help I knew being patient would pay off. Thanks for the recommendations everyone, seinen/shounen explaination part too. Already read Death Note and loved it, saw Sazuka and Hellsing's anime version. Will look into all of those.

![]() Credits: 3,380 | Re: Need Help Was this Hellsing or Hellsing:Ultimate? If it was the Hellsing with Incognito then I suggest you read the Manga. The Manga (in my belief) is much better, longer and has a stronger storyline with much more kickassedness and way cooler badguys. Trust me!

![]() ![]() Credits: 27,684 | Re: Need Help Its actually quite easy to put into words. Its violent, well written and engaging. I quite enjoyed it, so much so, I even made a wallpaper for it. (look in the gallery for it).
