However, there exists one eccentric individual who wields a wooden sword and refuses to let his samurai status die. Now that his kind are no longer needed, Gintoki Sakata performs vario... More...

Most of the posts before mine sum it up: Gintama is probably the funniest manga ever. I hear a lot of people say it doesn't have a main plot/story, but I think it does. It's just not in your face or apparent; you actually gotta look for it.
Try to keep a straight face while reading it. It's impossible.

It's nifty - the humour is pretty charming, poking fun at various aspects of the typical themes of the genre of certain mangas.
The series overall wasn't enough for me to keep me reading, but I do recommend it if you fancy a laid back kind of read and feel the need for a quality chuckle. No harm in trying it!

Much of the humor in Gintama comes from spoofing other anime and other elements of modern Japanese culture. Think of the Scary Movie franchise - best enjoyed when you know the original material they're making fun of. Gintama's brand of brash comedy isn't for everyone, so it's hard to guarantee you'll be laughing out loud in every chapter - but that's this series's effect on me.
Other than that, the art is nice, and while there's no stable plot, the characters are very interesting. Moreover, the setting and premise of the entire series is so unbelievable, there's enough material for some seriously good story arcs.

Wow I didn't think that I could laugh so much about a manga but it's hilarious. The characters are nothing special but fit perfectly together and the "plot" only provides the setting for the ingenious conversations and nothing more. If you don't like the first chapters, don't bother reading it any further it doesn't change, but I love it.
I don't read the manga, but watch the anime.it is INSANE...IT IS IN MY TOP 5 ANIMES '(1. one piece 2. Naruto 3. GINTAMA 4. hitman reborn 5. bleach/d-grayman)..... gotta say the one who made this is a genius, why? simple it's funny, random and they can be really serious sometime when they are fighting. As much as i like the jokes the fighting scenes are always insane. p.s my mum always call me crazy, when i'm watching this, why?! 'cause i can't stop laughing when watching GINTAMA, it's just too funny

This is perfect comedy for me, because comedy isn't my favorite genre, but I'm going with this, and laugh uncontrollably while reading this XXDDD the only pure-comedy manga that I am really into it!
From my point of view there is only one word to define this manga. EPIC, yes that's right epic. From the first time you read it you go into a laughing frenzy.
Believe it or not it happens to me. You will learn to admire Gin-san the main protagonist along with the other crews such as the four eyed Shinpachi, alien girl Kagura and many more.
The comedy in this manga is one the best that I have seen before. Trust me when I say you will have a hard time stopping yourself laughing at the jokes. There are also quite a few battles in this manga that i find interesting.
Long story short, if you are looking for a manga that will knock you senseless or just a fan of comedy than look no further Gintama is your manga.

it's too funny..i love how the mangaka makes his characters spout nonsense in the story...it has a right amount of seriousness and comedy in it and not to mention that Gintoki is just too lovable as the main character
