Manga are like comics, except Japanese, and read from right to left. Alongside anime, manga are one of the stereotypical weeaboo's favourite things. It is very common for popular manga series to receive animated adaptations and vice versa, prompting endless debate amongst fans about which version is better. Manga are sometimes referred to as mangos by both detractors and fans.
Notable Manga
- Berserk - GUTS HUEG
- Blame! - Silent cyberapocalypse goodness
- Franken Fran - "Dude...what?!" Makes you think you're stoned, even if you're not. Also squick. (Note: you cannot turn these into good campfire stories no matter how hard you try.)
- Fist of the North Star - Manly enough to cause your penis to grow a penis.
- Quick Start!! - Affectionately called "My Little Neckbeard". It's about a group of teenage girls going through the world of traditional gaming.
- King of RPGs - American Manga about many things /tg/. Suspend some disbelief, but much better than it sounds.
- Gunnm - Dystopian futuristic cyberpunk martial arts character piece about cyborgs, all drawn beautifully. Also very nineties.
- Vinland Saga - One of Berserk's spiritual successors, though more rooted in reality. This one is about historical vikings.
- Demon Detective Neuro - Tzeentch's early day before the grimdark future.
- Uzumaki - Goddamncreepyasfuck supernatural/cosmic horror story about spirals. Author was originally in dentistry, which explains a lot.
- Monster Musume no Iru Nichijou - We... we don't like to talk about this one.
The portion of /tg/ that doesn't immediately shout "weeaboo" whenever anything asian is mentioned generally agrees that Berserk (at least, early Berserk) and Blame! are very good reads. Although Blame! might be more accurately described as a "look" since it has very little dialogue.
If any of you have noticed a disproportionate number of notable titles over at the /tg/-Approved_anime page, this comes from two main factors. First, the number of good manga that don't have an anime adaptation or overshadow their anime adapation is very small these days. Usually this restricts "manga-only" stories to older manga or quirky manga. The second reason is simply a culture issue: few /tg/ neckbreards are also /a/ or /jp/ enough to know and recommend good, /tg/-related manga.
