Since we have an Anime thread in the TV section i figured why not put a Manga section in the Books section, i want to know what you guys like to read?
I'll try to name as many as possible that i've read
Fist of the North Star, Astro Boy, Monster, Shugo Chara, Cry Freeman <<<<<< Really Good, Yotsuba, Ristorante Paradiso, Antique Bakery, Uzmaki, Museum of Terror, Train Train, Princess Princess, Black Jack <<<< Also Really Good
Toriko, One Piece, Bleach, Transient Son, Last Inning, Liar Game, read Fruits basket and Eyeshield 21 through, and I plan on starting Beck soon.
I also gave up on Highschool of the dead and Naruto

Just starting to buy Manga so haven't read much.
Death Note - Only bought it because I seen the Live Action English Dubbed Movies and after read the series once tried a second time and could not re-read them.
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya - Only have volume 1 and don't know if I want to get the rest.
Yotsuba&! - Read the first eight volumes at least three time each from cover to cover, and Volume 9 should be in my hands with the week.
The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi-chan - Can not explain in words but I am going to get the rest.

Neverreally got into reading Manga, But I have enjoyed the Zelda series thus far.
I have read Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, currently reading Oracle of Seasons, and will be reading Oracle of Ages next.
I was reading Berserk and Vampire Hunter D (the remakes from the novels...and the novels themselves).
I think the words "God-like" got used to often when describing the stuff D was doing. I know he suppose to be a badass...but for fucks sake trying using different ways to describe the action.
Tokyopop shutting down? I was going to start getting the other volumes of Gundam Seed: Astray.

Akira
without a doubt
No love for Vagabond!? That just won't do.
Currently reading: Vagabond, Rurouni Kenshin, Great Teacher Onizuka, Beck and One Piece.
I'm kind of annoyed that Tokyopop decided to end the english manga release of Beck at the same place the anime ended, but then they died so now I'm more disappointed than annoyed...
rip Tokyopop.

Yeah, that's bad news about TokyoPop....The good thing is, they're not completely shutting down. They will still have a branch in Germany. But this probably does mean the end of titles in North America...
Anyway, manga I recommend include: Blade of the Immortal, Akira, Fullmetal Alchemist, Masamune Shirow books; Appleseed (especially!), Orion, Dominion, and perhaps Ghost in the Shell (it's not a favorite of his work, and honestly, I STILL don't even understand what the Hell is going on in those books...especially the 2nd...), Gunsmith Cats, Trigun, and Hell, I even like Dragon Ball. 8P
Although this...may not technically be manga, I also suggest checking out Usagi Yojimbo.

Just want to pass by to ask, if you know any high school scene type ecchi/romance that have a little fantasy on it, kindly tell me. Oh, don't mention Ichigo 100%, Clannad, True Tears, I"s, Futari Ecchi, Suzuka, Ladies vs. Butlers! or Rosario+Vampire, because I already watched and read those.

That's not a sin right?
no real fantasy in these ones but Highschool + Romance yeah. Not seen the Anime, just read the manga:
Hot Gimmick - Boys over Flowers - Paradise Kiss (I love paradise kiss)
Anime wise, for your request I'd say
I, my, me Strawberry Eggs - Princess Tutu (kawaiiiiiiiiiii) - and to a lesser degree Ranma 1/2
Those these three are less about the highschool aspect, it's just kinda there

I used to love Manga till I realized the damn things take up so much room. I filled an entire foot locker with part of my collection... 'tis heavy. I also used to pick up a lot of bargain manga, so I'll have the 3rd and 8th book of a given series for a lot of stuff.
Some of my favorites would be Bastard!!, Love Hina, Narue no Sekai, Tuxedo Gin, Fairy Tail, whatever's in US Shonen Jump (Bleach, One Piece, Psyren, etc), US Raijin comics (Fist of the Blue Sky, Guardian Angel Getten, Bow Wow Wata, etc) was good while it lasted too.
HomerRPGeye: Guardian Angel Getten (with Goddesses!), Boys Be (not really fantasy but everything else), Narue no Sekai (with aliens!), Onegai Teacher (with aliens!), Ah/Oh My Goddess! (200% more goddesses then Getten), Negima! (it's like if Harry Potter was a grade school-aged, high school teacher with a sister complex), Great Teacher Onizuka (reality based, using the term reality loosely), anything Tenchi Muyo!
If you happen to have a breast milk fetish I'd recommend Seikon no Qwaser, but only the uncensored version if you want the anime. The censoring is so lazy you'll spend half the episode staring at the same banked fake painting, its far worse then the fake bikini effect of earlier anime. Art work is good though.
Battle Angel Alita.
