    This really should belong in the manga section.

    I think that Chobbits and Love Hina would satisfy both sexes. Both have action adventure, romance, drama and fan-service :bleed2:

    Aye, should be in manga, but somone'll take care of that soon enough no doubt.

    I actualy prefer shoujo type manga a lot of the time. I just think action stuff works better in anime than in manga, so I like stuff like Kare Kano, Kodocha or Love Hina(I know it's not shoujo, but it's not all action packed. Love Hina > * by the way. I do like a lot of more shounen manga too, like Lone Wolf & Cub, Blade of the Immortal and DNA^2, I just prefer less actiony ones.

    You need utter and total ridiculousness (i.e. Love Hina or One Piece).
    And of course, the obligatory ***-kicking scenes. Everything has those.

    Something with really wild and out of control characters is something i like (even if there is just one in the story).

    Comedy and Action.

    I like mangas that are funny, I also like ones that have good fights in them.

    Well, it's really hard for me to say, mainly because I like so many different stories, and I'm willing to give a lot of things a sporting chance.

    I have noticed that I have a tendency to prefer fantastic stories to pretty much anything else. Of course, this covers a lot of ground. Classical/traditional fantasy definitely falls into this category, but so does romance, some comedy, science fiction....any number of different genres.

    The biggest draws for me would have to be characters, story, and art when you get right down to it. There have to be interesting characters, preferably complex ones, although stereotypes can work as well depending on the story. The storyline/plot has to be engaging on more than one level, and the characters have to be able to interact with the story in a believable fashion. Finally, art. If it isn't pretty, chances are I'm not going to pick it up. Of course, pretty is subjective, and I do find a lot of things to be pretty.

    I don't know how helpful this is going to be to you as it is filled with vague specifics, but hopefully you're able to get something out of it. Word of warning...it's highly doubtful that you're going to be able to create the "perfect" story, one that appeals to everybody. In the end, it's better to be happy with your work than frustrated because it doesn't have universal appeal and acclaim.

    Shoujo-style comics. I like that they have a bit of everything in them. ^^; But lately, I'm less into the comedy and more into the drama. I love drama~! Angst~! Romance~! With a bit of humor, of course, but more drama~! ^^;

    And bishounen! ^^;; (Well, not really, but dude, it's bishounen! ^^)

    Ones which have titles that start with Nausicaa and end with Wind.

    I like lot's of mangas really, just not the ones in Shonen Jump 'cause little kids always ruin it with they're "Naruto is the best and notihng can ever be better than it" you know? damn kids.

    You should look at Blade of the immortal. Might be a little to violent for your taste, though. The art work's really well done.

    Shoujo style, something with comedy. My friends and I all like the perverted humor. I like the creepy gothic or horror styles as well. I have never heard of anyone who did not enjoy Chobits, try going on those lines, crazy humor but have a serious plot. You always need awesome animation, detail plots and characters that sort of thing. You really cant predict what people will like, nor can you fit all preferences into one Manga, and make sure you do what you want.

    This is easy i think the story needs to be strong otherwise people won't read it all and the characters need to be identifiable. My fav type of characters are the cute kind the ones you cant help but love with the supporting characters helping him or her a good example is demon diary and to some extent love hina (both main characters are hopelessly stupid)

    Dude, like, Blade of the Immortal is one of my top fav, beside RK, YYH, and IY! I agree the art is absolutely remarkable. And nothing is too violent for my taste, I mean, the first manga I read was Akira....I think......But thanks soo much for your guy's feedback......Still want yur opinion!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D
