So I know we have various anime/manga recommendations threads, but it seems kinda sad to extol the virtues of a newfound manga treasure when no one has asked for a recommendation, and if they did it was of a totally different genre.. so, um, basically I thought this could be an informal thread to chat about any manga you've stumbled upon and really enjoyed, and want to tell other people about! ..we probably already have thread like this buried somewhere, but whatever. Part of a forum revival effort for 2011

So I'm gonna start off with some seinen fun, with OldBoy, Vinland saga and YKK! I've only recently started reading Old boy, and it's pretty intriguing! (Adult content warning here though) it's about a guy who's been stuck in a private prison for the past 10 years, with no idea who put him there or why. Not finished it yet, but it's caught my interest so far! Vinland saga I would recommend to anyone it's got Vikings, is manly, and next to Berserk is the only manga I've read that really deserves the title 'EPIC'. In caps. Not to mention very pretty and detailed art Yokohama Kadaishi Kikyou is pretty different from the last two, set in a cool post apocalyptic future, with hints at the origins of the setting but a main slice-of-lifey feel, following the life of an android who runs a cafe in the middle of nowhere. The manga is really relaxing to read ^^ and I just love the setting! Anyone else have a series or two they just have to sing the praise of? Hope it's not just me ^^'
