Most overrated manga.

Some mangas aren't deserve to be "LOVE" or adored. They basically follow the same typical cliches in the mainstream manga. I am so sick and offended by the stereotypical characters and plots happening in some of the 'overrated' smutty shoujos out there.E.g Shinjo Mayu's works...there are lots of negative reviews in her works and YET, some of these mangaka make the same mistake all over again when they have given room for improvements.
I second the Shinjo Mayu part. I wonder if she ever reads over her own works...

Yeah, when you click on her name and go to the part that shows her works, going down the column the word "smut" is in the almost series' genre 🙄

Magic Knight Rayearth. Even thought I'm a huge fan of CLAMP's works this one didn't touched me a lot. It's very likeable, with beautiful, inspirited artwork and it's not bad to pass your time but it's not your first choice. Apart from that, the "power of love and friendship" motive is unbelievably annoying and repeated at this manga. And it's supposed to be their first big hit to make them well-known to all over the world. It's worth only for hardcore CLAMP fans for colleactable reasons. And for teenager girls maybe.

Loveless! Some people already mentioned this, but for me the turn-off was the ART. _ Plus the story... Same happened with Sukisyo, but I actually liked the anime for the most part. o_O

Special A It's sucks. Period.
DN Angel How is this so fun to read?
ARIA It may have been interesting, if it didn't start off in such a boring way.
And of course, the obvious.
And you may all hate me for it, but I find Code Geass a bit overrated. I tried so hard to find the greatness about it, but it just bored the hell out of me. Lelouch was a stereotypical badass dude trying to take over the world. To me, it seemed like a rip off of Death Note and Gundam Seed Destiny. All the characters made me want to strangle them.
I also don't understand why everyone hated Suzaku. Just because he was against Lelouch? That conflict, at least, was a bit interesting, but could have been more if it was executed better.

OMFG no way! seriously? so many Naruto and Bleach haters 😔 Naruto and Bleach are two of the best manga/anime out there! anyways
Most overrated:
Fruits Basket!!! (god i hate that series but then again i hate love triangles so.... mainly cause they never end up how i want them too (T^< ) )
One piece.. (just plain stupid)
Special A - funny thing is that i used to love it but after trying to reread it (chapters come out so slow) i realized......that this Sucks! alot
Chobits - ehhh was a robot in love with a human....okay where is the awesomeness?

Overrated? GOD FInally I can throw dirt at some series and get away with it!!!
NARUTO: It was good until the first tournament, until that point you had the feeling all the characters would have a part in the manga, but ST Sakura that piece of st got more attention than the cool guys aka Shino and co.
IS THRASH!!! and the Anime is EVEN WORSE.
BLEACH: It was awesome until the end of SS ark... Is still readable, but don't expect much, BUT i have to say the Bleach Anime Fillers are a Gazillion times better than the Naruto Fillers.
ONE PIECE: Of st... But I have to say for a series with such a CRY plot, the characters make up for it and the manga actually doesn't suck that much, but that is only if you can stand the shitty plot, and since my sole drive to read a manga or novel is the plot, this one is a NO NO for me ^_^
What else? I don't know I don't read a lot of s**t...

eh? I disagree. I've put FMA on hold some time ago, but it is a really good manga.
I'd probably read it when it's complete.
if u disagree u are wrong
Seriously?
Hrodulf and Bjornolfr, you will not be forgotten.

Ok, I'll agree somewhat on Naruto (I thought it started to become bad when Sasuke beat Deidara by way of that HUGE PLOT HOLE.).
And I'll agree on everything you said on Bleach (but I think that Shuiesha is forcing Kubo to make Bleach longer. How can you have such a mind-blowing awesome plot like the SS Saga, and then follow it up with such a mind-blowing awful plot like the Hueco Mundo Saga?)
But to bash One Piece and call it shit....FOR THAT I'LL NEVER FORGIVE YOU!!!!! >:-( >:-( >:-(
Just kidding. 😀
Although I agree that the main plot really isn't that good (Setting sail to find a treasure that may or may not exist), it's the sub-plots and characters that keep people reading. They're some of the best you'll ever read in any manga, I promise you that.

Well I can only speak for me but Its the only Manga from Clamp besides X that its good. I like the Story and the Development from the Characters
And the manga has many critical questions besids RoboterXHumans
with Included TeacherXpuiple and old guyXyoung girl
btw there are NO roboters they are Personal Computer
and One Piece isnt just plain stupid
but loosecannon504 has very good explained why 😃

Okay, i flipped through the thread and honestly, i cant believe i signed up just to comment on it.
Firstly, admittedly, Ouran was an enjoyable read, but i admit, it took too long to the main arc to come on and the hype is a tad more than what it deserves. Still, in a way it feels like OP; people enjoy it for the entertaining side stories.
But some manga i saw that i wish to disagree on. Chobits, i read that sometime ago and enjoyed it tremendously. For it's detractors, i'll say this: It is pretty deep for a shoujo manga; the themes explored were different from most others.
Also, FMA. For the person who said it's overrated. You must be kidding. It definitely deserves more recognition!
Anyway, before i go drastically off topic. From the back of my head, some overrated ones i've read include:
SA (I cant find the main arc, i stopped soon after they got together)
Gakuen Alice (It got too draggy)
Fushigi Yuugi (Miaka = Most hated female character EVER)
Hana Kimi (It was decent at most.)
Bleach (Started out decently but got too typical AKA boy is like uber powerful and always wins)
Inuyasha (Too draggy, i lost patience 3/4 through)
D. Grayman (Started out pretty good, it felt like the lost focus halfway and ended up doing the typical main-character-is-unbeatable route)
Air Gear (Good art, but the plot was uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh)
HxH (One word: Draggy)
I've been reading manga since i was '98 and it's like nowadays, loads of not really good ones are getting overhyped about while the truly good plots are overlooked.
I've read quite a number of better shoujo when i was younger (since the local publisher has been translating them since way before my time, I'm Asian after all) but it feels like, it's such a waste that they're being overlooked due to the wrong timing in which they were published. Nevertheless, there are still gems out there, and i can only hope that people would one day notice them.
