But Now What To Read?

Post by Stocky Boy »

So, I've finished the magnificent Death Note series. I've read up to the latest release of One Piece (vol 20, vol 21 isn't out until July!).

Now where do I go?

I could try and finish Ranma 1/2, which I may well do, but annoyingly the editions I have from volume 1 to 18, seem to be outdated and a new edition has replaced it.

I didn't quite take to Bleach.

So, based on my love of One Piece and Death Note, what would you well versed manga readers advise I pick up next?

we-ell I don't know a lot about D. Gray-man (including how to spell it, heh).
My friend rully enjoys it, my brother hates it, and I haven't picked it up yet.
But I thought about the manga you just finished, and D. Grayman is out-there-fun-weird like One Piece and yet dark, like Deathnote. ^_^


Battle Angel Alita is a grim sci-fi set in the future where civilization has advanced, created such things as cyborgs and androids, and the richest have left the face of the Earth leaving the rest of mankind behind to struggle to survive.
Alita is an android rescued from a junk heap and re-assembled by a new father-like-figure. Situations always seem to come up that force Alita into battle, but with her unique fighting abilities her enemies find out quick that she isn't the push over one would assume!

Check out Naruto. It's gotten so stellar the past couple years in Shippuden.

And I really disliked the Ranma 1/2 series. It's "cute" but I'd rather get some meat in my stories over sweet angelic bullshit.
