well, feel like reading something, but don't know what, i've had pretty bad luck picking manga lately so hopefully someone else can find me something worth reading.....
my lists are public so that might help to figure out what i like or dont like
but as for as dislikesg go: anything gay, anything that gets too repetitive, anything with really bad art, uhh......mangas with annoying main characters, mangas with those whiny shoujo heroines, and uhh.....that should do it
anything else should be good: comedy, drama, sports, action, seinen, josei, shounen, shoujo, it doesn't matter really on the demographic/genre...
thanx in advance .

Nevermind, they're on your unfinished/on hold list. T_T

yeah, i like pretty much anything thats done right
but uhh HunterxHunter, i tryed the anime way back when...and wasn't really fond of it, but if you think i'd like the manga i could go ahead and try that
and Monster, i saw the anime, so is there a need for me to read the manga as well? any different?
Rough i can give a shot though....not fond of the this mangaka's art but if the story makes up for it, then it should be fine
Under the Dapple Shade....seems pretty interesting, i'll give this a shot aswell
Emma, again....i saw the animes, any different?
Basara, i thought i remmeber trying this one? guess not though since it aint on my lists, i'll give it a shot.......
and Yokohama and Yaiba, i'll try these too....thanx for the recommendations, preciate it

I think Monster anime is very much like the manga.
You could try Mind Assassin. But I am not sure whether the English version is available. Also Drug-On, which I am trying, and the Embalmer, which I quite enjoy.
I personally think 7Seeds and Chicago are better than Basara, which I really can't get into. As to bad art, I don't like this author's drawing style. Hope you can tolerate it.

07-Ghost
EPIC!! The art's awesome too!
Pandora Hearts
EPIC!! Yeah... The art's detailed and well done
Double Arts
Art's very nice and the plot's good too.. But it sways sorta to the romance part later on... that's why' it's cancelled
Ann Cassandra
funny and the art's pretty good
Ookami ga Kuru!
very detailed in art and funny
Yoru Nimo Makezu!
artist of Code Geass did this. Really funny in the first volume, but the second is more of a comedy/romance
Apple
same artist as Double Arts. People say it's yaoi, but it's actually not. More of a comedy
Amatsuki
you guys should know this right? EPIC!!
AAA
romance... But the plot's good and the art's nice]
Adarushan no Hanayome [the strangest romance you can find! Art nice
Yoki, Koto, Kiku
Koge-Donbo*-sensei's work~ Really funny
Witch Hunter
another epic series! Very orginal plot and art
Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei
Read the manga before the anime. The anime expects you to know the characters and such. Art normal but plot.. Epic!
Chii's Sweet Home
adorable~ X3 art's really cute and plot's funny
Ghost Only [art's nice~ Plot's really good]
I noticed alot of these are on your unfinished list or wish list... Sorry about that!! Anyways, I saw Goth on your wish list... Mentally prepare yourself when reading that!

I don't know if the manga and anime are alike since I haven't watched its anime.
It took me some courage to try Basara since the art hurt my eyes 😃

They're exactly the same
"As long as we're seeing the same kind of musical vision, yeah, sure. But sometimes when things get hard, you balance out the pros and cons and say, am I being a wimp if I stay or am I being a wimp if I leave?" - D'arcy Wretzky
i suggest pumpkin scissors
it is like one of my all time favorite mangas, but only one chapter is scantlated. there are four english volumes available and are worth the ten bucks.
it is a military based story that seems to have a huge plot. im not far enough to understand how big but it definitely has potential

Mind Assassin looks pretty good, but yeah...not really much of it's been scanalated and it looks like it's been dropped, Drug-On's on my wish list, looks great too....same with embalmer, i'll make sure to try these
7seeds and Chicago, would kill me to read, cant stand this art......Basara as well, the art was too much, i couldn't handle reading it
@ Gorath - Gekkoh i've been meaning to read, but i was waiting for it to pick up again, i'd hate to start a manga knowing i'm not gonna finnish it,......spiral i'll give a shot, Tuxedo Gin's in the same boat as Gekkoh, and i'm already reading Until Death Do Us Part
@ Melon - 07 looks pretty interesting and i've been meaning to read it, but that cover looks pretty suspect, it's not shounen-ai or anything like that is it?.....Pandora Hearts looks good, i'll give this one a shot, Double arts i dropped, same with Ann Cassandra, Ookami looks good i'll give this a shot, Amatsuki's on hold list, but i could pick it back up again, AAA, not my kind of manga, same with Chii's Sweet Home, Yoki, Koto, Kiku doesn't really look our sound that interesting either, i can give Zetsubo sensei a shot though, and Ghost Only's on hiatus, so i'd rather not start something on hiatus..... and about Goth, why you say that? is it bad or something?
@ robbit - i saw the pumpkin scissors anime, and theres only appears to be 1chapter out, so i dont think this'll work.....

Goth is not bad, but not great either.
I think A Lollipop or a Bullet is better (it's labeled shoujo-ai but it's actually not. So don't let that put you off.).
Chicago is definitely worth a read. The characters are not drawn as ugly as those in 7Seeds. It's short too.
And you might want to try Luck Stealer. It's by the author of Mind Assassin.
And what about Mushishi? A few people I know rave about it though I am just starting to read it.

about pumpkin scissors, like i said, there is only one chapter scantlated. if ya wanna read more, there are four english volumes available 🙁
