Just like the topic says!
I need some great complete manga's.

Genre's I prefer: romance, action, mystery, thrill, drama, and a bit of science fiction.

I especially like combo's: romance, action, mystery...etc...just has to have romance in it. It doesn't need to be the main subject, but it should be an important part.

I really like ones that deal with magic, like Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle.

And tell me whether the anime is better or the manga is better.

If you really liked something else, and it was awesome, and didn't get bored one bit...and it doesn't fit in my genre's...TELL ME! I'm also looking for something new, unexpected, and great!

manga:
Arcana Soul - mystery with a bit of romance
Eternal Sabbath - psych/drama with a little romance (same mangaka as Mars, which is one of my fav manga)
Miriam - older cowboy shoujo manga that I rather like
Hot Blooded Woman - a korean shoujo manwha with gangs, a fighting girl main char, and body switching (there seems to be alot of these ^^)
White Dragon - nice short manga about an assassin protecting a young girl... undercurrent of romance

Jaysus. Enough with the apostrophe abuse. If English is your first language, anyway. If not, you're doing good, but if you're speaking about more than one of something, add the 's,' but leave out the apostrophe.

Try Higurashi no Naku Koroni. I didn't actually finish it, but it has a heavy mystery/thriller atmosphere. Apparently romance becomes a bit more of a focus later on, as I only got through episode 8. Its original version is a game, which is most likely the preferred medium at this point, but access to it for English speaking audiences is very small. There is a manga that is being scanlated somewhere, but I don't think it's complete yet. So anyway, for now, watch the anime.

Saiunkoku Monogatari isn't finished yet, but you'll probably enjoy it.

And because I can't not recommend it to anyone, Mushishi. It's not thrilling, there's no action or heavy drama or mystery, really, and has basically no romance at all, but it's in my Top 5, and I'm discriminating as fuck. A man named Ginko wanders early Japan assisting people whose lives have been affected by mushi, strange creatures that are not quite earthly and not quite supernatural, neither living nor dead.

good witch of the west --- mix genre... some action, adventure, sci-fi, drama, school, comedy, romance and fairy tale. its only 13 episodes.
The Third -- action, adventue mecha, sci-fi. Theres some romance but not the main focus of the story.
Jyu Oh sei - survival, action drama scifi and some dash of romance.

Hahah. I thought something was wrong. Whoops.

Thanks for the recommendations! Just what I'm looking for!

Sailor Moon is 200 anime episodes, 18 manga volumes, the live action series. The couple is dating and boyfriend/girlfriend during the series and gets married.

Fushigi Yuugi

Ceres Celestial Legend

Mars

Marmalade Boy

Bokura ga Ita

Happy Hustle High

Kare Kano

Fushigi Yugi

Boys Over Flowers

Kare First Love

Akuma De Sourou

Fushigi Yuugi manga is better than the anime

Ceres manga is better than the anime

Manga:

Planetes
Battle Royale

Both were great

Well for mystery, drama, sci-fic and some thrill I would recommend -
Fantastic Children: mind boggling with a very complex storyline, and you'll find an extremely touching romance at the next half
Kurau Phantom Memory (no romance though)
Noein
Crest of the Stars/Banner of the Stars I, II, III
xxxHoLic

for those with some fantasy, romance
Fate-Stay Night
Inuyasha
Mai Hime
Blood+
Vision of Escaflowne
Chrno Crusade
Princess Tutu

Hmmm, wat abt Shakugan No Shana, Zero No Tsukaima- both have fantasy and action and some comedy in it.

Full Metal Panic( all 3 seasons and the OVA)- may seem to be totally mecha, but have lots of romance and comedy in the show
Full Metal alchemist- mix of action, comedy and tragic moments.
Bleach-action and shouen
Kanon Remake- romance, harem
Code Geass-mecha
Death Note- action?? just watch it, cos it is super good

dojikyo · 2006-12-29, 00:16

I'll just add Gunparade March. It is actually a high school romance disguised as an action series.

Oh, and Saikano.
