a long manga with good story

There are so many on here I could second it would take too long to mention them all.
I want to add
Banana Fish - Probably the best manga ever. 19 volume, brilliant plot, great characters and perfect ending. Don't let the art put you off, this is a gem.

New Poll - Manga and Real-Life Friends
(26 posts, 5271 views) Posted: over 11 years ago by CuthienSilmeriel in News
Me and my friend have differing tastes, so sometimes there is overlap, but usually not. Plus she much prefers anime whereas I barely find time to watch anime between all my manga, so we rarely, if ever, discuss it.

Manga about broken/failed to be realized dream?
(5 posts, 567 views) Posted: over 11 years ago by CuthienSilmeriel in I'm Looking For...
Skip Beat to a degree. The dream is broken right at the start and the rest is about revenge and bouncing back.
Let Dai - Maybe, it probably more about growing up and finding yourself than anything tbh, but I guess the end of childhood can be considered the breaking of chil...

hmmm, not sure how well these match because there are lasting companions from fairly early on, but
07 Ghost -Teito loses the vast majority of the people he loves and ends up a slave, but the manga starts at this point and the losses are shown as flashbacks.

Lemon Tea Scans is a group which works exclusively on dropped manga. I know they could use the help if you're interested. It would be easier to join an established group than it would be to start a new one. http://lemonteascans.wordpress.com/.

New Poll - Optimal Story Length
(33 posts, 6049 views) Posted: over 11 years ago by CuthienSilmeriel in News
It's not the length that matters, but the quality of the story. Having said that, I tend to favour long mangas, but not ones which never end.

From all the titles @CuthienSilmeriel suggests, I only second Banana Fish, since the other titles focus way too much on boys love compared to what you're looking for.

Banana Fish - May fit. It focuses more of the mafia world from the view of the street gangs they use, but it is complex and deals with the violence, politics, and crimes of the mafia. There isn't much in the way of women (for a good reason) but there isn't any hentai or y...
