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
- JoJo's Bizzare Adventure - The most well known manga and anime to everyone on the
internetTHIS GODAM WORLD. A story about supernatural power fighting spirits and the same bizarre shit happen in the warp. It's notably have male man with Kenshiro type body doing fabulous pose and being overall, godamn manly as hell. This manga is also where the WRRRYYY meme came from, but the only differences is a steamroller. - Berserk - GUTS HUEG
- Ookami no Kuchi: Wolfsmund - A true grimdark tale of a sadistic creed set in 14th century of Europe (Switzerland). It has violence, sex and basically everything Berserk has minus the fantasy elements. Like warhammer, it has no happy ending.
- Blame! - Silent cyberapocalypse goodness
- Coppelion - In 2036 AD, Tokyo has turned into wasteland after a nuclear reactor explosion. Coppelion, a group of genetically engineered girls in school uniform has to find a way to restore Japan and fighting off a rebellious faction of Death Korps of Krieg. It's basically the same thing happened on Krieg, but in Japan.
- Yotsuba& - A manga where the main character is the mascot of 4chan.
- 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 days 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 adaptation 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.
