Manga Of The Week Suggestions - AnimeCrazy.net Forums

CaptainRukiaKuchiki · 04-13-2009, 12:39 AM

So in my attempts to revive the Manga Section, i came up with this idea to help in getting this section as active as others if possible. Manga of The Week.

Basically, manga would be suggested with a good summary as much as possible. From these suggestions, one of them would be chosen as Manga of The Week!

Each week new suggestions would me made and new thread for each new week would be opened by the one and only me Rukia!

So if you want to take part in this and may be get to see your suggested manga as the Manga of The Week, then post the following:

-Name of the Manga
-It's genre/category (Usually, it's at least 2 categories)
-Artist & Author (Don't say things such as "Guy who wrote Manga X" and stuff)
-Summary. If you can't write one, then copy and paste one from wikipedia or a manga site.

Don't post really popular manga such as Naruto, One Piece and Bleach. Manga of The Week should be an opportunity to let others know of good unpopular manga regardless of the genre!

Below is an example of how you guys should suggest

Spoiler

----------------------------

The Rules again!

-No spamming....like "Hey come on...this manga pwns...let's choose it!" -___-
-Don't post POPULAR manga...unpopular or semi-popular are better. If you can't or don't know other than popular ones, then post them here.
-Don't decide on your own that you'd open a new thread for suggestions or create "Manga of The Week" thread. I'd chase you for eternity! O_O
-No Yaoi, Yuri Manga suggestions as much as possible. (Seinen may contains some sexual scenes but it's targeted for mature male audience and the same goes for Josei.)

----------------------------

Thursday-Monday = Days you suggest.
Tuesday & Wednesday = Days you vote.

----------------------------

So the first suggestions are open from Monday, April 13 up until Saturday, April 18. Manga of the week would be announced on a separate thread on Sunday, April 19 or Monday April 20.

Let's hope it goes out well so start suggesting!

ATTENTION: If you want to post an image or picture of the manga, you can do so but please put it in a Spoiler tag.

meh it's hopeless here...anyway, it seems that nothing went as planned so the suggestions will continue until we have at least 10 manga suggestions from different members. This will always be the case until it gets a bit active in this dead section.

joeboi112 · 04-15-2009, 12:03 PM

it would be good if we had a manga section were you could read manga but o well iv got another
Name: Gantz
artist: Hiroya Oku
category: Sci-fi, seinen
plot: (its a long one)
A pair of high school students, Kei Kurono and Masaru Kato, are seemingly run over by a subway train, after saving the life of a homeless drunk who had fallen onto the tracks. Following their untimely deaths, Kei and Masaru find themselves transported—alive and well—along with a number of people who have also just died, to the interior of an unfurnished Tokyo condominium from which the

Tokyo_Tower

may be seen—and none of them are able to leave. At one end of the room is a featureless black sphere known as "Gantz". By way of green text that appears on the surface of the sphere, Gantz informs those present that their lives have ended. The following words appear on the black sphere's surface: "Your lives have ended. What you do with your new lives is entirely up to me. That's the theory, anyway." (The ADV translations have it as "Your lives are over, you bastards. What you do with your new lives is entirely up to me. So there you have it.")
Without explaining anything to them, the Gantz sphere opens up to reveal a bald man on life support in the center, and three racks that offer various items for them to use. Information on the

Gantz_Targets

appear on the surface of the sphere, shortly before the Gantz Team are transported to the location of the mission, where they are expected to kill aliens.
The series regularly introduces new characters. Most of them are killed off almost as quickly as they appear, though at times a stable cast of veterans forms.
The hunters cannot return from their mission until all enemies have been killed, or the time limit has run out. If the mission is successful, each individual is awarded points for the aliens they have killed. They are then allowed to leave, and live their lives as they see fit, Gantz summoning them back again when its time for the next mission. The only way to stop having to participate in the missions is to earn one hundred points, and choose the option to be freed.

lol it's ok

so in order not to spam too (

) here's one of my favourite manga^^

Name: Doubt
Artist/Author: Tonogai Yoshiki
Category: Horror, Psychological, Mystery, Drama, Shounen
Summary: There's a game going around Japan called 'Rabbit Doubt'. The premise of the game is that all of the players are rabbits in a colony, and one amongst them is randomly chosen to be a wolf that infiltrated the group of rabbits. Every round, the wolf kills off a rabbit, and every round, the group tries to figure out which of the rabbits is actually a wolf in disguise. Sometimes the kids who play this game decide to meet up in person, and Yuu, Mitsuki, Rei, Hajime, Eiji, and Haruka have done just that. Unfortunately, one of them has decided to take on the mantle of the wolf and has already killed once. Who is the wolf, and can they be stopped before everyone meets a very unpleasant end?
