Whats a good Manga series to get into?

I want somthing that has a good storyline and all that crap....but like not to adult rated or my mom will flip

Thanks!

Well, what kind of manga do you like (shoujo, shonen, ect)? That'll help us out alot in referring you to something you like.

Well
i like
Rounie Kenshin
and i read a volume of Naruto and liked it
but thats bassicaly all i've read

I'm checking out Scrapped Princess right now
my friend told me it was good so i'll give it a shot

Ok thanks i'll look into them


Keep those suggestions coming!!!!!

You could consider DN Angel...I love this manga--Niwa Daisuke is a rather normal, nothing-really-special kind of 14 year old boy who has a crush on Harada Risa, his classmate. Risa doesn't think of him as more than just a friend. Daisuke is thus rejected right on his 14th birthday, and to make matters worse, finds out that he turns into the legendary phantom thief Dark Mousy whenever he feels emotions of love.

Saiyuki is really good...if your parents wouldn't flip about adult language/content...^^'''ehehehe...essp. since Gojyo's a pervert...lol XD Kind of like Miroku...except a little worse. Then there's the swearing...which is pretty bad...not as bad as in the anime, but still~ anyway, its plot is one of the old chinese or japanese legend...a great evil is being revived, and sanzo, a priest, goku, a monkey god, goyjo, a water demon, and hakkai must venture TO THE WEST! in order to stop the revival of 'the great Gyumaoh~!' ^^'

Canidate for Godess, Alice 19th, and Fruits Basket....
Canidate for Godess..have you ever seen the show Pilot Canidate? It used to play on CN way back when...well, Canidate of Godess is Pilot Canidate..^^
Alice 19th....aah another one of Yu Watase's masterpieces...XD
Anywho, I agree with Staci; Alice 19th and Fruits Basket are good, and i recomend them as well...

.hack//legend of twilight is also good...^_^ similar to .hack/sign except different chars and plot. ^___^''' Personally, I like this better than .hack/sign because I like the characters better, and the story seems easier to follow...

Pita Ten is good too....on the cute side, with chibi-style characters...Its a slightly random manga--sort of like azumanga daioh except...not as random...XDD

Shaman King, Jing:King of Bandits, and Full Metal Panic I think are good manga for action/comedy...I would give a background about each of these, but I wouldn't knwo where to start...^^''

Also, any CLAMP manga is good...Like Angelic Layer, Tokyo Babylon, and Magic Knight Rayearth. CardCaptor Sakura is good, if you read the translated english, since in the Japanese version, there are two guys that are gay...ANYway........>_>

I think one manga that's coming out in May, that you could consider is Chrno Crusade...I have heard a lot about it, and from what I know, it is about a demon boy named chrno and a nun named sister rosette. All i know is that its a romance novel...obviously between Chrno and Rosette.....

Hikaru no GO is also good~!!! It is about a boy and a spirit who lives inside him, and together they play an ancient game called Go. Its a game manga, meaniung it revolves around a certain game throughout, in this case--Go.

Yeah, I'd say Alice the 19th or Fruit Basket. They both Rock!

Just a note about this series, It's great but as far as the gay thing. Well, Regardless of what they SAY in the manga, you can tell they're gay. That aspect of this thing sorta weirded me out. Just thought you might want to know.

K thanks guys!

That's true...though i don't think it is as obvious as in the japanese...or in X...*coughsubarucough*..well,okay, i is kinda obvious ...and the sparkly backgroud doesn't help! >_>'' x.X

STAY AWAY FROM LOVE HINA hehe...

Try Azumanga Daioh (full of innocent, random fun with only a bit of language), Gatekeepers (I luv the art), and Chobits has bit of nudity and language but it's got a good story.

And if you like Anime try anything by Yoshitoshi ABe...Haibane Renmei comes to mind.

Have fun...YAY!

Aah yes, Megatokyo. I would recommend that as well. ^_^

Hmmm
Naruto Seems to be Pretty good
i'm gonna ask my friend if i can Borrow his Trigun Volumes
thanks for your help guys!

Although I've only read with it the first volume two weeks ago, Hayao Miyazaki's "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind" is a very good read, I must say. But it's heavy going at place so it's not what I'd call "a light read". I also read "Ruorini Kenshin vol 1" which I must admit is excellent!

Oh, yeah! Nausicaa's a good one.

Ok i'll look into them!

DragonBall is good. Kind of strange but entertaining...though Master Roshi is more than a little too old to be flirting with Bulma (he gets a pounding every time he does though, heh). No nudity as far as I've seen either. 'Tis rated T or A (for All Ages)

There is female nudity in at least Volume 1 of DragonBall, as well as a fair amount of perverted humur.
It does well earn its T rating.

Note that there was edited versions of the first three DragonBall volumes released a few years back that edited out the nudity. However, due to fan petitions/complaints, they changed back to the original versions and thus the edited versions wouldn't be available anywhere outside libraries and perhaps used bookstores.
