Sure Skip Beat is nice and one of my top Shoujos, but doesn't quite match the OP's preferences. Gate is based on a novel (not even a light novel), so I guess it will feel different.

EDIT: Almost forgot this. The closest one to your liking will be Jojo's Bizarre Adventures. It's Shounen Battle manga, very awesome, has 108 volumes and span across 8 parts (different generations of different timelines though the protagonist in each part is part of the same family line). Fairy Tail is another one you can try. It is also Shounen battle manga, but has only 38 volumes till date, and very similar to those you mentioned (genre and type-wise). Finally, Kochira Katsushika-ku Kameari Kōen Mae Hashutsujo is the longest running manga in Weekly Shounen Jump (all those you mentioned came from this magazine). It has 185 volumes, but I'm not sure whether it is translated. It's very entertaining but not a battle manga, so may not fit your needs. Last edited by larethian; 2013-07-02 at 04:36. |

Fullmetal Alchemist would be a good pick. Length and quality shonen action series.
The World God Only Knows is a different genre, but is rather long.

This. One of the most fantastically-written series I've read in a while.
Hayate no Gotoku was a really fun read while I was catching up to it. Akame ga KILL looks like a super clichéd series at first glance, but finish the first chapter at least. |

Well if it is action you are seeking, there are:
Soul Eater Deadman Wonderland Mirai Nikki Rosario + Vampire Claymore Berserk Fairy Tail Groove Adventure Rave Hunter x Hunter D. Gray Man Magi Mahou Sensei Negima! Shingeki no Kyoujo You could also try the following, apart from DN it is mostly comedy: Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai Bakuman Death Note GTO Love Hina

Berserk
Claymore Until Death Do Us Part Zetman Lots of blood, gore and nudity, but compelling plots. The downside is slow releases, bimonthly at best (i.e. 1 chapter every 2 months). I have a wide list on my profile if you're interested, VM me if you're looking for something in particular. |
