Here you can recommend a manga. Give a bit of info info what it is about, perhaps a small review even so we can get an idea of what it is like. And don't forget to say what genre it is ^^
I recommend all higurashi no naku koro ni lovers to read 'alive - the final evolution' It's a sience fiction horror, has comedy AND very serious scenes. the boy is Taisuke. He lives a rather boring, normal life, until he encounters a girl commiting suicide right in front of him. She jumps from a building and as she falls, she smiles at him. The strange thing is, that when she's dead lying on the ground, he smiles and says: 'I'm so jealous.' the moment next he wonders why he felt that way and is totally perplexed. back at home, the news is talking about a 'suicide virus' going around. And it seems his friend Hirose knows more about it, and they both are gifted with a strange ability. But for some reason, Hirose has totally changed, and he kidnaps Taisuke's best friend. In order to find his friends, Taisuke sets out on a journey. But he encounters people like him, who have abilities, and the mystery of these people and the virus slowly starts to unfold....

Also 'skyhigh' is pretty good it got the same feeling as 'alive' but the story really reminds you of jigoku shoujo , but a more mature one. it can get REALLY, REALLY, REAAALLYYYY sick at times... the art is also weird.. but it's awesome! When you die you have three choises...
1: To accept your death and go to heaven 2: To deny your death and wander the world as a ghost 3: Curse a human on the world, 'posses' him, murder him and be condemned to an eternity of agony in Hell...
it's a very small manga... really nice. you can read it completely in an hour or two but you won't forget it for a very long time.

Also, 'homunculus' is a very intresting read. It can get just as sick as 'skyhigh' (if not worse) but there are only 8 volumes out... it's ongoing, OR SOMETHING??? I DON'T KNOW BUT I WANT TO READ VOLUME 9 T_T I think they cancelled it... because... the story was getting a bit complicated... But still it's very intresting. It's about a mysterious guy who sleeps everyday in his car. nobody knows why he does that or if he got a home to return to. one day, an odly dressed young man approaches him, asking him if would like to participate in a little experiment... Involving having a hole drilled in his skull. It is said that when you drill a hole in your skull you could get a 'sixth sense'... after some happenings the man is forced to let a hole drilled in his skull and after that, STRANGE things happen...

Chocolat.
Okay... I don't find a good summary anywhere so I guess I'll have to do it myself.
- Quote:
-
Tatsumi Chiyoko is an half-orphan whose mother (maya) died two months ago. Now she is searching for a place to stay with Omugi Matsukichi, an ex-maffia boss, that was married to her mom and that... opened a cake house recently, to get over maya's death. At the same time, Ichigo, an ex-inmate, is released after completing his 5 year 6 months prison sentence. Ichigo doesn't know that the komugi gang split up when he was in jail and is searching for Omugi Matsukichi. He is shocked when he finds out that the maffia boss, the person he had great respect for, turned out to be a baker, so he tries to change his mind and begin a new group on his own. Chiyoko's real father is caught in a great dept. With people after her father's whereabouts, what will happen to her?
I love this story. It never, ever gets boring. It's very enjoyable, with great characters and tons of GREAT humor! It gets really emotional too, and when love jumps in the story it got even better. Right now there are 3 volumes and it's ongoing, with a new chapter coming out every month.
read it here! http://www.onemanga.com/Chocolat/

dog's bullets and carnage great art! really amazing it has a movie like feeling to itonemanga funny characters, it has a dark tone to it tha story is about haine, badou and naoto
Haine: he is an genetic experiment with a multiple personality who is very blood thirsty. he is an albino gunman, his substantial healing ability allows him to regenerate from almost any injury. He has an extreme intolerance for females, a possible result of murdering his younger sister Lily in a berserk rage when they were children
badou: Haine's partner and a chain smoker, he usually acts clumsy and inept, but becomes a crazed and deadly killer when denied his cigerattes for too long. Before accepting assassination jobs with Haine, he was a freelance (and largley unsuccessful) journalist/photographer who specialized in the secret lives of the corrupt. He wields twin uzis. his older brother was murderd and he lost his eye doing research in the undergound. has long red hair and wears an eyepach.
naoto: Orphaned as a young age and suffering from amnesia, Naoto was raised and trained by a swordsman whom she originally thought was her parents' killer. He even gave her a new name since she couldn't remember her own. Naoto discovered after his death, however, that he had never killed her parents. Instead, the murderer was a woman who shares her name. Naoto has a large cross-shaped scar on her chest and wields her late teacher's katana.

Doubt or also known as rabit doubt( the liar must die). it's a horror manga.
There's a game based on lies and deception growing popular in Japan. The game is called 'Rabbit Doubt' and it is played on cellular phones. 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 has 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, while the group is enjoying themselves at a karaoke club, they are rendered unconscious and awake inside, what appears to be, an old, run down mental hospital. They soon discover someone among them has decided to take on the mantle of the wolf and has already killed once. As their situation grows more dire, their trust and camaraderie quickly dissolves and they begin to accuse one another, while the wolf continues to pick them off, one by one. Who is the wolf, and can they be stopped before everyone meets a very unpleasant end?
i've changed my opinion about who the wolf is a douzen times, i just can't figure it out. it's driving me cr@zy!!
here is an amv about douth to the song from saw, it's really good.My Webpage

Okay so I started reading it and I'm on page 19 from chapter 2... I must say it's AWESOME! But I really think I know who the wolf is already xD
Spoiler: click to toggle I think it's Yuu Aikawa. He was the first one to see the rabbit inside a bathroom. I think he has some kind of memory loss or a identification problem because I think it was just him watching into a mirror at himself...

wow i'd never come up with that, i just assumed it wasn't him because the story is seen from his point of view. man, that would be awesome if it would end up to be him but i still think it's not him. i'm not going to say why, you'll just have to read the story and see for your self.

lol thanks I thought that way since...
Spoiler: click to toggle I wrote a story very similar like this one and it was the main characters doing without him realising... Also, I thought he was very suspicoud since he didn't have a barcode... But then he was folded and the wolf killed somebody... while he was kinda watching. I'm doubting about who it is now xDxD Hm, maybe he has some kind of paranoia too, that he sees things that aren't there... but maybe I'm thinking too much about it...
