First of all, I'm taking that as the official name of my rants from now on since more and more people are referring to me by my DA name.

Now then, first of all, let me assure you of this fact: I like One Piece, Bleach, and Naruto. But unlike you crazy fans of them, I don't make them the only priority manga out there.

Some people notice I will make jokes and challenges about their claims, mainly because I have one huge issue with those three and other overhyped manga.

They keep people from trying out other series that are awesome, if not even more so (Yes, you heard me, you crazy fanboys and fangirls!)

Let's take Shounen Jump for example. The minute you hear that name, don't tell me BON doesn't immediately jump into your head. Crazy fans act like they're the only manga in the magazine and the only thing worth their time.

"Oh, if its not One Piece, why bother reading it?"

First of all, Shounen Jump was running long before even Dragon Ball graced its pages. And now it has multiple manga that have filled its pages and still do. Here's some titles that BON has stolen rightful credit.

1: Katekyo Hitman Reborn. No big surprise that I love this manga. The comedy and action is well-blended, and I find Amano Akira (the talented woman behind it) to be a far superior writer to the BON writers. She's able to develop likable characters with growths and strengths without overhyping them.
2: D. Gray-Man. If you think Fullmetal Alchemist is tear-jerking, read this manga. Hoshino Katsura (the manga-ka) is amazing at her(?) ability to create a dark setting, yet keep likable comedic characters and mix in plenty of hardcore action. Not to mention she has created the most evil character that makes Aizen, Orochimaru, and Blackbeard look like boy scouts: The Millinnuem Earl.
3: Bobobo-Bobo-Bobo. Wacky and often times making no sense. That is just Sawaii's style! You'll laugh until your sides hurt.
4: Rosario+Vampire: Another series I especially like. The idea of a human ending up enrolling in an all-monster's school is just too hilareous. Plus the manga-ka has done an awesome job from developing the MC, Tsukune, from a helpless coward in love with a vampire girl with a love of for the taste of his blood, to a pretty cool hero trying to make peace between the human and monster worlds. Not to mention Moka, Kurumu, Mizore, and Yukari are some of the cutest girls I ever seen in manga. (And how you could not love Ms. Nekome. Meooowwww...*grins*)

Some non-SJ mangas (SJ also steals a lot of undeserved credit it) I find are good to try out include:

1: Negima!: Created by Ken Akamatsu, creator of the most legendary harem series ever. Filled with magical action, romantic comedy, and lots of breasts and underwear shots, this series is another wonderful work of Akamatsu-san.
2: Sayonara, Zetsubou-sensei (Goodbye, Mr. Despair): A hilareous satirical series about a suicidal emo-teacher who despairs about the worst situations that could ever happen (even if the chances are 1%) and his class of social problem parodies (Many who are love-struck by him). This series is awesome for its darker comedy, and how it makes light of some very common social problems today.
3: Case Closed (Detective Conan). Gosho Ayama has been doing this series longer than most of the more recent series, and he's still doing it with excellent work. He's been able to keep the mysteries fresh and I find its quite a nice fresh of breath from some of the other more hyped mangas out there.

So give other series out there a try. You may be pleasantly surprised. Its like how your mom told you that trying new foods may surprise you. This fact applies to all facets of life. Pendragon out!!! *throws a smoke bomb and laughs. Is still there when the smoke clears* Oh right...run away *Disappears through a wall*
