Not sure if this has been suggested yet, but, won't it be cool if we could have another whole new search engine (kind of like the Genre function) but, is really for a "topic"? Since "topics" aren't really genres, so
![dead](emoticons/beigedead.gif)
Examples:
Time/Space Traveling
Reincarnation (with or without previous memories intact :?)
Body Switching (regardless of gender/creature)
Angels/Devils (plays a major role in the manga)
Virus (not virus, virus, but, like :X Something causes people to mass-suicide/do weird stuff/etc. Ex: Alive ?)
Avalanche (Everyone turns to zombies, monsters go loose, everyone in terror kind of thing?)
Evil in 1st Person (where, the protagonist is evil, and the antog is good -kind of like Death Note-)
Forbidden Love (rich/poor, beast/human, pedo, etc.)
Love Triangle
Forced Arrangements (Debt->sold off to other family/Arranged marriage/etc.)
Food related
Beauty related
Obsession (The life of someone obsessed with ____, and how he/she deals with life. Kind of like The World God only Knows (kind of..)
Transformation (goal of story is to change one person to something else; or the life of someone that went through a transformation; ugly girl->beauty, nerd->hero, or something)
I'm not sure what to call those manga where: main char happens to walk by->witness supernatural event->somehow gains power/or something gets sealed in main char->has to do/or not do something to save the world/or is now in danger because of it)
Hero/Save-the-day (random person(supposedly normal) has mysterious power and everyone wants the person(for whatever reason) and needs him/her to save the day/or anything in that category)
Collecting(?) (like, Inuyasha or Dragon Ball Collect all blah together, and you get blah blah.)
Weird school setup (Ex: Gakuen Alice, Penguin Brothers)
Cinderella (Normal girl/popular boy; Normal person turn celebrity overnight/etc.)
Showbiz (not entirely focused on celebrity love, but, the life of someone in the showbiz/modeling world. Ex: Skip Beat! )
Biographies (story mainly based on some real life person's lifel/etc.)
Parody (purely made to make fun of other stuff, Ex: Aspirin; or manga version of certain famous novels/cartoons; Ex: Ludwig Kakumei)
Crack (something purely made to make the reader extremely roll-on-the-floor-
laughing/whole purpose is to make reader laugh; comedy in its extreme?)
many thanks to chu for helping me out on this list~<3
And of course, "I'm looking for..." threads respectively
![biggrin](emoticons/beigebiggrin.gif)
Would be nice to use in the same way as the genres, since that way, we can use multiple topics at once : D
Not sure what other topics there are XD but that's all i could think up at the moment. And this thread became too long for my own good XD
