What might be good for me?

Greetings,

I am a fan of supernatural, action and adventure Manga. My current reading list only includes One Piece, Naruto, Bleach, Beelzebub, Toriko, Fairy Tail, Gamaran and Aiki. I started to read Gantz but I did not like it. Also, I did not find Reborn very interesting such as the above mentioned list; therefore, I stopped reading it.

I would highly appreciate any suggested series so I can add them to my list.

Thank you very much.

Not really a manga reader but since you like shounen, how about D.Gray Man?
Liked the anime a lot. Had recommended it to someone before, he also was a manga reader and loved D.Gray Man manga to bits so it is worth a try.

If you don't mind a bit echiness then you can try Rosario + Vampire. Anime sucked but manga is really cool and managed to get my interest. The further it goes, the better it becomes.

FMA is a must read manga, one of the best shounen series I have seen and read. Great story and awesome characters, the manga has finished about year and a half ago.

Then there is Soul Eater manga, another nice shounen.

Claymore is a great action manga but main characters are females.

Berserk was a cool anime, plan to read manga myself but it is quiet erotic and a bit gory so duno how it will work for you.

Mirai Nikki is another shounen manga but different. It is more serious and bloody, has darker story.

Hope this helps.

Perhaps you'd like Psyren and -Hitogatana-, even though they both fit in more with the sci fi genre. Psyren starts off with a really interesting premise imo, and leads into a shounen action series with superpowers. Sadly it got axed later on, but still closes with a nice ending if you ask me. Hitogatana's plot and the setting might sound like something you've heard numerous times before, but it wasn't really that bad at all. Been a while since I've been up to date with it however.

While it belongs in the seinen demographic, I think you might like the protagonist of Yumekui Merry. His developement and shounen sense of justice was what really got me hooked to it before.

Here're a couple of one shots I'd recommend btw:
Cross(Ooga Asagi)
Apple(Komi Naoshi)


That and you might wanna give Big Order a try too. Heads up, it's from the same mangaka of Mirai Nikki.

I'd second Rosario + Vampire and also suggest;

Hoshi no Samidare - This has one of the best plots I've read thus far, which is a fairly noteworthy feat considering it only has 65 chapters. But don't let that sway you, it's fantastic. An excellent blend of comedy, romance and drama with a unique supernatural twist.

Spoiler for Here's the synopsis from MangaUpdates:

Noblesse & Tower of God... two Korean web comics I recently reread. They're especially awesome reads if you've got a tablet to view manga on...

If you like those shonen mangas, you may like these:
Shaman King (supernatural, fighting)
Mahou sensei Negima!/Magister Negi Magi (comedy, supernatural, harem, fighting)
Yu-Gi-Oh! (thriller, supernatural, adventure, a lot better than it's anime story-wise)
Rurouni Kenshin (samurai, fighting)
Busou Renkin (fantasy, fighting)
+Anima (fantasy, adventure)

Some heavier supernatural/adventure titles.
Kamen Rider Spirits (supernatural, adventure, you don't have to know about Kamen Rider to enjoy this manga)
Death Note (thriller, supernatural, mind-games, one of the best cerebral manga out there)
Shin Angyo Onshi (adventure, supernatural)
Sakura Wars (supernatural, mecha, harem)
Vagabond (samurai, spiritual, fighting)
Liar Game (adventure, mind games)

It goes without saying that most of them contains a lot of action.

I think only problem you might have is how the main character is I guess presented.

Since your reading Aiki, I'd have to recommend Veritas and The Breaker.
Just to note that Veritas has finished "part 1" of the story altho it's kinda doubtful we'll see part 2.
And The Breaker has finsihed with part 1 and continued on with part 2, with series being called The Breaker: New Waves.

Other stuff: Half Prince, Magi, Kurohime, and The Legend of Maian(actually not sure if I want to suggest this last one as it kinda drops the ball later on and doesn't become quite as interesting as first part but it's got all the stuff)

How about Hunter x Hunter. It has an anime series and also a remake that's currently airing. If One Piece is up your alley, this will probably be as well

I'll put in a vote for Soul Eater... its a bit wacky superficially but hits "supernatural, action and adventure" with a minor shade of buddy/romance.
