I took a break from Bleach because I wanted to be surprised when watching the anime... however, with the new filler arc, I've cracked and have gone back to it!
Also...I just finished reading Ceres for the second time!!!! XD
<333
Since I just am absolutely hooked on the live action dorama of Absolute Boyfriend, I've decided to go ahead and read the manga now too. Zettai Kareshi by Watase Yuu.

I did it. I cracked and read Berserk. Now if you'll excuse me, I need a bit of a breather here to decide how I feel about things.
ha ha ha. i'm not sure if i should congratulate you or not. though i do believe that one can only read up to volume 13 if he/she wishes to make a solid decision regarding the manga series. well, whatever the case, Fish, you have just read the first 3 volumes of one of THE GREATEST mangas in the world. XD
anyways, GTO volumes 20-22
almost finished w/ the series once again. i love it!

Found more Alive - The Final Evolution, so I've been reading more.
Maaaaaaaan I really love this series; it's one of my top recent seinen reads. It's very Darker than BLACK/X-Men, but with a lot more humor; proof that seinen supernatural fighting manga improves on so many of shounen's faults. The last big batch I read started getting kind of annoying-- very villain-of-the-week, with lots of pseudo-deep philosophy crap-- but it's definitely picked back up. The comedy relief is perfectly paced and super effective; I've laughed and choked hard. The characters are great; Taisuke is a male teenage lead that I actually don't feel like shooting.

Yu Yu Hakusho Volume 19
Last volume, I believe. The pacing is getting fairly wonky and I really wish things hadn't become a tournament, but because I know things don't end stereotypically I continue reading.

Hm, that's interesting: I would not have predicted you'd like this manga. This one has never really felt seinen to me, possibly because of the protagonist's age, but I continue to follow it with some interest.

It started out with a freaking suicide virus. For some reason, I really, really love crazy deadly virus/ suicide virus-ish stories (despite hating blood and gore and violence!). It definitely isn't as cool as it was in the first volume, unfortunately. I think it started out seinen and kind of degenerated.

Except, Alive isn't seinen. It runs in (Monthly) Shonen Magazine. So, yeah, I'd consider it shonen. It would probably be running in Young Magazine or something if Kodansha considered it seinen. Anyway, I've read a bit of this. And it has caught my interest. There's an anime planned for the fall, so we will see how that goes.
Meanwhile, I decided to start an already finished series since I probably have enough ongoing series to follow right now.

Ah... really? ._. My mistake. I could've sworn though....
EDIT: Ohhhhhh my mistake. When I looked it up before, I saw another manga called Alive!, which ran in Young Jump, so I guess I got them mixed up.
But I can't wait to see the anime.

Ah, thank you. I thought it wasn't seinen and was starting to wonder how I'd gotten it wrong. Meanwhile, enjoy 20th Century Boys.

Finally found a copy of volume two of "By The Sword". A neat little manga that never had a chance (cut off after three volumes, and ADV never released the English version for volume 3). I'll have to find a .jp volume 3 now so I can finish it.
Reading "Black God" volume 3 now.

Berserk vol. 17-18
One Piece vol. 14-15
Bit of nostalgia here, since the first I'd ever seen or heard from One Piece was the Drum Island arc and now I've read there. Shame I'm finding the formula a bit stale. Is it bad I can tell within a chapter of their introduction which members of Wapol's crew our heroes will various have to pick off?

Not manga, but also not literary enough to put in the books thread. I've read through this and I think all related materials (FF crossover, miniseries, etc). Not as dark as I expected, actually, and only moderately interesting overall. I do want to look for the second series, however.
Heh, I think this is the greatest weakness of One Piece. I personally read in between arcs, when the various pirate crews are seen and doing things, then skip out when they reach a new island and a new formulaic scenario is introduced. It works pretty well and I'm enjoying the series a lot more.

Basically, I enjoy reading all the parts where Luffy and crew aren't fighting enemy pirates. Travelling to exotic lands and meeting lots of weird people with a dash plot induced delema is fine, but the rest of the action is tiring.
Baroque Works is a bit more passable however, so I may end up liking the Alabasta arc.

Robot volume 1
a very peculiar manga composed of 20 short stories. the various artwork was very a major attraction factor, but the varying level of objectionable content made it hard for me to enjoy this manga. some of the stories i found quite interesting while other stories i found utterly disgusting and sickening.

"God the great Creator of all things doth uphold, direct, dispose, and govern all creatures, actions, and things, from the greatest even to the least, by His most wise and holy providence, according to His infallible foreknowledge and the free and immutable counsel of His own will, to the praise of the glory of His wisdom, power, justice, goodness, and mercy."
- Westminister Confession of Faith (Chapter 5, Section 1)
"The wisdom of God has found a way for the love of God to deliver sinners from the wrath of God all the while upholding the righteousness of God!!"
- John Piper
"Grace is the pleasure of God to magnify the worth of God by giving sinners the right and power to delight in God without obscuring the glory of God!"
-John Piper
"The very One from Whom we need to be saved, is the One Who has saved us."
- R.C. Sproul
"All of Christian life is ceaseless worship of God the Father, through the mediatorship of God the Son, by the indwelling power of God the Spirit, doing what God commands in Scripture, not doing what God forbids in Scripture, in culturally contextualized ways, for the furtherance of the Gospel, when both gathered for adoration, and scattered for action, in joyous response to God's glorious grace."
- Mark Driscoll
"Believers do not pray with the view of informing God about things unknown to Him, or of exciting Him to do His duty, or of urging Him as though He were reluctant. On the contrary, they pray in order that they may arouse themselves to seek Him, that they may exercise their faith in meditating on His promises, that they may relieve themselves from their anxieties by pouring them into His bosom; in a word, that they may declare that from Him alone they hope and expect, both for themselves and for others, all good things."
- Martin Luther
"I have to tell you first that I am ready to die. I have put my affairs in order. Your supreme weapon is killing. My supreme weapon is dying, because when you kill me, people all over Romania will read my books and believe on the God that I preach - even more than they do now."
- Dr. Joseph Ton, the exiled Romanian pastor (quoted by James Montgomery Boice)
"The best prayer I ever prayed had enough sin in it to condemn the whole world."
- John Bunyan
"If the Christian has lost sight of Calvary, that shows that he has lost his way."

I picked up volume 1 of "Dark Metro" the other day. For a Horror fan, this is a great read. I've been getting tired of the Goth / Vampire bent that the genre has been focused on, and wishing for something like this. The writer starts with just good ol'fashioned ghost stories and weaves them into a story about a psychopomp spirit who is charged with keeping the innocent bystanders from getting hurt. Neat stuff. A little gory, though.
Gave up on it after three volumes, but not for any objectionable content or poor quality. The story didn't appeal to me. I was attracted by the artwork. I like the style, and the character designs, and the artist does a good job with them.

Maokun: Ninjas or Pirates? (Vikings are not a valid answer, sorry)
EricTheFred: Vikings are always a valid answer.
