I just started reading manga, so any recommendations would be helpful.

Thank you !

Just looking for pretty pictures?...no specific genre? :P

fifthcadence · 02-16-2010, 07:55 PM

Yes, I'd be buying them in the original Japanese version so I can't read the dialogue anyway. ^^;

Serpico · 02-16-2010, 08:04 PM

I'll assume that was sarcasm o_O ...because...nobody does that...
anyway what I meant was...shonen/shoujo/seinen ...fantasy/horror/romance/drama ...etc etc...
no preference at all?

fifthcadence · 02-16-2010, 08:27 PM

Here's an exception.

I'm only looking to buy one volume anyway, not the whole series.

Um, romance then. >.<

I'll start you off with Ryoichi Ikegami .
He is primarily only an illustrator (of other people's stories), but by far the best I have ever come across. Sanctuary is my favourite.

Genre: mainly seinen

Katsuhiro Otomo's work is also very detailed, but his overall manga selections are small in number.
But Akira and Domu are both magnificent.

As Zakiel said, maybe you would do well with a art book.

I particularly enjoy the art of Oh! Great, Kaori Yuki, Clamp, Kyo Hatsuki, Rei Hiroe, Rumiko Takahashi, and Haruhiko Mikimoto. The first two in particular have extremely elaborate artwork.

Berserk, Vagabond, Hokuto no Ken, Blade of the Immortal, D.Gray-Man...
