Want To Kill Time?
Hey! I've been so busy just reading mangas nowadays (because I'm a bit lonely and is missing someone. To simply put it, I'm a bit "emo" lately. L.O.L.) and I wanted to share some of them to you (well, at least the ones I like the most) but before that, let me introduce to you what mangas are (for those who doesn't know what they really are but if you do know, skip this part and just read ranked mangas).
Well, most of you have probably heard the word "manga" from one of your friends or so but don't actually know how it looks like or what it is. It's basically like what you see in comic books. Well, to simply put it, it's the "comic book" of the Japanese people. Here's a sample.
-:-Here's the list of the one's I enjoy/enjoyed reading the most (ranked from 1-10)-:-
1. Naruto
Status: Ongoing
Updates: Weekly
Plot:
The story started with a kid named Uzumaki Naruto in a ninja village called Konoha. He was first rejected by the whole village because a demon fox was planted within his body by the deceased Fourth Hokage (Konoha Leader). He's trying his best to aim for the title "Hokage" and gain the village's trust. However, it might turn out that he won't only gain trust from the people of Konoha but from the whole ninja world itself!
Comment:
I ranked it as number one because the story is just way cool and unpredictable (though there are some boring parts that sometimes take even one chapter!). It's just worth reading. J
2. Bleach
Status: Ongoing
Updates: Weekly
Plot:
The plot is mainly about the fighting of Shinigamis (Death Gods) and Hollows (spirits that had gone bad). Kurosaki Ichigo was just like any other human (or was he?) but was suddenly turned into his town's Shinigami because of an accident and it's now up to him to protect it from the terrible hollows.
Comment:
It's ranked two 'coz it's your ordinary good vs. evil type of manga. The thing is, it sometimes turns out EXTRA-ordinary. So check it out as well. J
3. One Piece
Status: Ongoing
Updates: Weekly
Plot:
In the world where pirates and marines fought, there's one extraordinary kid named Monkey D. Luffy who aims to be the Pirate King. To be the pirate king, he must conquer the vast Grandline and obtain the treasure that the last pirate king left: One Piece.
Comment:
I LOVE the story. You won't get bored at all. Just read it to believe me!
4. Death Note
Status: Completed
Plot:
In the world of Shinigamis, a shinigami called Ryuuk keeps on getting bored and as a past time, he drops the notebook that he uses to kill people whose time is up: the Death Note. This time, man named Yagami Light (Raito in Japanese) picked the notebook up and he soon figured out what the notebook does. Because of Light's strong sense of justice and Ryuuk's stupid boredom, Light used it to kill so many criminals. With these, the legendary Detective L is going to try track him down and stop the massive killings of criminals.
Comment:
One word: SPLENDID. This manga is just sooo cool. It's way beyond imagination. I mean, it's a unique manga. That's all I can say about it. J
5. Case Closed (Detective Conan)
Status: Ongoing
Updates: Weekly
Plot:
Shinichi Kudou was forced to drink a mysterious substance by two grim-looking people in an unknown organization. Kudou shrunk into a kid and is trying to track down the two who did this to his body while solving cases along the way.
Well I like mystery stories. They make you think and so as this manga. Check it out though you might be bored with some chapters (some really are boring). Still, try it. J
6. Hajime No Ippo
Status: Ongoing
Updates: Weekly
Plot:
Makunochi Ippo was just a guy bullied in his school. Well, he WAS. He became interested in boxing because of a guy named Mamoru Takamura who saved him from the bullies and is now aspiring to be the top boxer of the world in his weight class!
Comment:
It's exciting to read. Can't even believe I read 100+ chapters in just two days. You'd be left wanting to know immediately what would happen next with every chapter end. It's also a funny type of manga. In addition, it depicts what a typical guy's dream would be like. So if you're into sports esp. boxing, this is a manga worth trying to read. I'm currently so hooked to this one. (It now has 800+ chapters by the way. haha)J
7. Katekyo Hitman Reborn
Status: Ongoing
Updates: Weekly
Plot:
Sawada Tsunayoshi was your typical loser student. He's just simply a no-good. But when a hitman named Reborn came to him (he was supposedly his Math tutor), he was then selected as the tenth boss of the a famous mafia clan: the Vongola Family.
Comment:
This is another funny one. Though boring parts are present, it just suddenly gets interesting when you're about to get tired of the "boring parts". Check it out. J
8. Liar Game
Status: Ongoing
Updates: Weekly
Plot:
It's about, well, as the title say, a game about lying. It's a certain scam where people where forced to lie for money. A girl named Nao Kanzaki got caught in the scam and eventually met a guy named Shinichi Akiyama who is an ex-convict and a genius who just recently got out in jail. Together, they try to take the ones who devised the said scam.
Comment:
It has a pretty boring plot but it somehow caught my interest. Try it, maybe you'd also like it. J
9. D.Gray-Man
Status: Ongoing
Updates: Monthly
Plot:
It's a battle between exorcists and akumas (I think they're the same as "devils"). Allen Walker, a 15-yr. old kid, together with his exorcist friends, they try to destroy all the akumas with their Innocence (something like a weapon of God) and defeat the maker of the akumas, the Millenium Earl.
Comment:
It's ranked this low but it's pretty interesting. I ranked it as eight because it only updates monthly. >,< Do check it out.
10. Eyeshield 21
Status: Completed
Plot:
An ordinary guy named Sena Kobayakawa was seen to be extraordinary by the captain of Deimon Devil Bats (football team of Deimon Private Senior High School), Yoichi Hiruma, because of Sena's speed. Sena was then made the running back of the Devil Bats and with the team, they will try to make their way to the top of the world of football.
Comment:
Well, I love Hiruma's dark sense of humour and his genius tactics in football. It's a pretty boring manga for a non-football lover, but you might be interested in reading it, I wasn't much of a football lover as well but hey, I finished it anyway without getting bored. ;)
Hope you try reading all of them! Enjoy. ^_^
P.S. Just click the "Onemanga" on my blog (it's on top) if you're interested in reading any of them. J
