Ha!!!! This has been a long post. Writing reviews and synopsis is the most difficult thing I have ever done. Though I enjoyed writing most of the synopsis but for few it was a boring task to do. Following is the list of 13 Manga that I recommend you to read, if you have not already (Of course, I have read them). All of these manga are unique in themselves and are worth reading. I have included my short review for all of them followed by the plot. Enjoy!!!

1. Naruto

Naruto so far is the best manga I have ever read. The plot is excellent and story-narration is fantastic. The characters have been designed very well, and there is no inconsistency in the plot and behavior of the characters.

Before 12 years of the current timeline of the story, The village-hidden-in-the-leaves (Konohagakure) was attacked by a monster called the nine-tailed-fox (it indeed was a fox with nine tails). All the shinobis of the village gathered to fight against this demon. During the battle, leader of the village, The Fourth Hokage sealed the nine-tail-fox in a new-born-child. This child was called Uzumaki Naruto. The whereabouts of Naruto’s parents is unknown. He is hated by the village, as everyone considers him a monster because of the sealed fox. Naruto has only one dream, that is to become Hokage (Leader of Konohagakure, regarded as the strongest Shinobi in the village) and prove his existence to everyone. What lies ahead for Naruto is a difficult path full of dangerous battles and difficult choices…

2. Dance in the Vampire Bund

This manga is intended for mature readers, and is one of the best in its league. DitVB is a political, thriller and action manga. Political debates and fights are interesting to read while how the work affect persons daily life and relation has also kept me following this manga.

After centuries in hiding, the queen of all the vampires, Mina Tepes shocks the world by declaring construction of permanent district to be inhabited solely by vampires. Humans are terrified with the thought of existence of vampires and a district full of them. Vampires being wealthy, are helping Japan to overcome their failing economy, which compels the nation to sanction the construction of Vampire Bund. But there are others who stand in the way of the noble cause initiated by Mina. Who are these people? Or is construction of Vampire Bund really a noble cause? Meanwhile, a down-to-earth highschool boy, Kaburagi Akira discovers that by fate he is bound to be the personal guard of Mina Tepes. How will he handle this abrupt knowledge? Will the construction of Vampire Bund be successful? Will Mina be able to fight the miscreants and maintain social stability? How will this bloody political dance end?

3. Change 123

Hmmm, the reason I like change 123 is because of the plot and its artwork. The facial expressions are one the best I have ever seen. The battles are breathtaking. This manga is worth reading. Like DitVB, this is also a seinen manga.

A shy girl, Mokoto has been through very strange childhood. Her mother died early and left her under three guardians, each of them supreme masters of three different martial arts. Mokoto spent her childhood under the care of each of her guardians separately. This developed in her three split personalities, each one corresponding to her three fathers. Apart from being shy, Mokoto resists any kind of dispute, but when a conflict cannot be avoided, the other personalities take over the job of protecting her and this usually results in gruesome battle in which the other side is terribly harmed. She never remembers what happens during the period when split personalities are active, and she never likes the bloody-results of the battles. One day Mokoto meets a boy, Kosukegawa who is also her classmate, and both become fond of each other. Though Kosukegawa likes only Mokoto, he starts adjusting with her strange problem. Where will their life lead them to? Will Mokoto be able to control her other personalities?

4. Dragon Ball

Toriyama Akira-sensei rocks! I have “heard” (probably you might have heard) that Dragon Ball is for kids and it stands nowhere near Naruto. The latter part is true, but I am skeptical towards the former statement. Dragon Ball is a Manga with unique sense of humor and great artwork. If you want to laugh a lot while reading a Manga then this one is a must read.

Son Goku is a pure-hearted, 12-year-old grandson of Son Gohan. Goku loves everything but evil persons and their evil plans. One day, by accident Goku meets an arrogant girl Buruma who is searching for Dragon Balls. There are in total seven Dragon Balls, which when combined cause something incredible happens. Goku joins Buruma on her quest and their adventures start. Further it is revealed that Goku is not a normal kid and is extremely powerful fighter. As the story proceeds we get to know more about Goku’s past and why he is so powerful. Will they succeed in combining the Dragon Balls? If yes, then what will happen then?

5. No Bra

There is no bra in No Bra. It is not needed. To know why, read the manga. This manga is intended for boys. The depiction of a boy’s thoughts in his early adulthood when his mind is full of ever increasing confusions, is very good. You will be laughing at the situation in which the main character of the story is. And he is really caught in a tight spot!

Masato, a middle-school boy gets a call from his father, that one of his childhood friend is coming to Tokyo and will live with him in his apartment. Masato is really furious for the loss of his privacy. More to his discontentment, the childhood friend who joins him is Yuki, a girl. But soon Masato knows that Yuki is not a girl but a boy who likes to live a girl’s life! Masato is not ready to believe this and is unable to resist his temptation to look at Yuki’s well-shaped body. Soon Masato falls into relationship with one of his classmates Oozora, who is the most beautiful girl in the school. This is where the life becomes hell for him. His mind is full of confusion and desires. “Should I love Yuki? But Yuki is a boy!! But he is so cute and sexy! I also have Oozora and she is very beautiful. Still I cannot neglect Yuki! Should I breakup with Oozora? I am so pathetic and so on”. How will Masato handle this situation?

6. Ane Doki

This is the most frustrating manga I have ever read, still I am recommending it to you. You will know the reason when you read it. It doesn’t mean that the manga is not worth reading. What is so good in this manga? The way story has been narrated and complex relationships have been portrayed. The ups and downs in the story and drawing of everyday life is so good.

Ah, the dream of 13! Kouta is our normal everyday boy, living with his fun-loving workaholic father. Lusting after the school idol in his class, playing games with his friend, there's nothing especially noticeable about him. But one day his father has to transfer to Sapporo for a time and mysteriously appear a girl who volunteers to be Kouta's live in caretaker. And what a girl! Everything about her is mysterious: her mysterious incredibly showy body, her mysterious interest in our boy, her mysterious need to sleep in the same room...

7. History’s Strongest Disciple Kenichi

This was the second manga I read and the first manga I have read from first chapter to the end. It took me 2 days to complete first 10 chapters and seven days to complete 300+ next chapters. There is huge amount of theory on martial arts and you will be able to follow it. I do not much appreciate the artwork but you should read it!

Shirahama Kenichi is a highschool student who is bullied by everyone. He is frustrated with his miserable life. One day he becomes good friends with the new transfer student Furinji Miu, a girl who is a powerful martial artist. Kenichi decides to fight back others who bully him, and asks Miu to teach him martial arts. Miu agrees and Kenichi starts growing stronger. But, one day Miu asks Kenichi to go to a place. Kenichi follows her advice and ends up in a dojo where six extremely powerful persons, each one master of a particular martial art, resides. He starts training in the Dojo and soon discovers through rigorous training that the path of martial arts is not easier. How will Kenichi grow? Does a kind person like Kenichi will fight someone? Discover the extraordinary life of History’s Strongest Disciple Kenichi …

8. Bleach

Most of the popularity of bleach is due to its action scenes. The storyline is excellent up to first 350 or so chapters and then the plot becomes kind of uninteresting. The artwork of this manga is unique and I don’t like it. Most of the times Black and White are the only colors and there are no tones and shades in the panel. It becomes really painful to differentiate between different entities in the page.

Kurosaki Ichigo, a high-school boy, who can see ghosts, becomes a Shinigami (Death-God) after absorbing power from Kuchiki Rukia. Kuchiki Rukia, being stripped off of her powers, asks Ichigo to complete her Shinigami duties. Soon he becomes friends with Rukia and the life full of battle rolls on. One day he comes to know that there are Shinigami who are much more powerful than he is and they are not so friendly! What lies ahead for Ichigo in this dangerous Shinigami business?

9. Death Note

What an excellent mind game. Brain twister really! The plot is excellent and you should enjoy reading it if you are into mystery, thriller and detective thing.

Light Yagami is an ace student with great prospects--and he's bored out of his mind. But all that changes when he finds the Death Note, a notebook dropped by a rogue Shinigami death god. Any human whose name is written in the notebook dies, and now Light has vowed to use the power of the Death Note to rid the world of evil. Looking into the high mortality rate of prisoners and their abnormal death circumstances, the authorities send the legendary detective L to track down the killer. With L hot on his heels, will Light lose sight of his noble goal... or his life? One of them will be defeat and defeat means losing their life. Who will win? Who will die? What kind of death awaits them?

10. Liar Game

This one is better than Death-Note when it comes to strategies and politics.

100,000 persons in Japan get a postcard congratulating them on their inclusion in the Liar Game Tournament. Attached with the postcard are 1 Million Yen. Rules of the game? Every participant has to return One Million Yen after 30 days when the game ends. If an opponent steals your money, he can keep them and you will be in debt of 1 Million Yen ….

11. Mysterious Girlfriend X

This manga is intended for mature male readers. This is a very silent manga. There is no action but this manga is good for some change. It is monthly and I like it for its softness.

One day a boy, Tsubaki accidentally tastes drool of the new transfer student Urabe Mikoto. Mikoto is an antisocial girl who likes to sleep during class breaks. After tasting her drool Tsubaki gets hooked on that. They start dating each other, and get to know each other better. Read about this mysterious relationship of Mysterious girlfriend in this manga …..

12. Sekirei

This manga is the ecchi-est manga I have ever read. Lots of girls and lot of perversion. Every character is different and it is fun to read how they panic in time of crisis and how do the retaliate. Artwork as well as girls are beautiful and on a special note the girls are full of beauty and booty :P.

Minato is a total loser. He's failed to make it into college twice, he's unpopular with women, and he's unemployed. But he's actually an Ashikabi, one of a mysterious set of "masters" in an awesome battle royale between hordes of cute girls called "Sekireis.". There are 108 sekirei spirits all over the world. Every sekirei has a human master called her Ashikabi. A Sekirei gets bound to a human when they kiss each other and this process of union is called winging of the Sekirei. There is no limit on how many Sekirei an Ashikabi can wing. But, it is necessary for all the Sekirei and their Ashikabi to enter in the Sekirei Game, in which the Sekirei will fight each other to death. The last-standing Sekirei will win and will take her master to ascension!

13. Wolf Guy-Wolfen Crest

I don’t like this manga very much because it is very slow. The scenes of this manga are very brutal and story is full of explicit material, and you must not read it if you are not 18+. So, why does it deserve reading? The way where story is going kind of seems interesting, and I expect it to take a turn in some chapters. If a Manga can provoke shot-term interests than I believe that it is worth reading.

Ms. Aoshika is not only divorced, but an underappreciated teacher at her job. But one drunken mishap leads her to witness firsthand the brutal assault and murder of a young man. However, after fainting, she awakens to discover that all of the assailants have been seriously wounded. And to her further surprise, the next day she discovers that not only is the young man Akira she met the night before alive, but he is now her new transfer student.
