For silly action stuff, you might like Rave Master. There are a lot of odd and cute characters that kind of remind me of your style.

I don’t read a lot of manga but one of my students got me hooked on an author. I don’t know his name but the series is called Yotsuba&! I found it incredibly amusing. It’s about a young girl who is very bright and creative and has the energy of the energizer bunny. Here’s what Wikipedia has to say about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yotsuba&!

Hmmm.. I tend to ready action/romantic/magical girl manga. Although Get Backers is an action/comedy I like. Let’s see… Baby & Me is also a good one.. kind of a dramedy. That one’s definitely good for all ages. If I think of some more I’ll let you know.

My favorite Manga, hands down, is
“Battle Angle Alita”
Well, to be honest it’s the only manga I read. It is sometimes hard to find at shops, but worth the digging. It’s sci-fi with lots of philosophy, and action, brilliant art work. It’s far-far future with cyborgs and a floating city, compelling characters and a journey of self discovery type story line.

Ranma 1/2 is fairly silly, with lots of martial arts stuff. It’s about a boy who turns into a girl when he’s sprayed with hot water, and back into a boy when he’s sprayed by cold water. His father turns into a panda.

Fullmetal Alchemist is another great series. In Amestris, alchemy is the science of transmuting matter into different forms of said matter, following the law of equivalent exchange. Edward and Alphonse Elric are both talented alchemists, but in an alchemical ritual gone wrong, Edward lost his right leg, and Alphonse lost his body. Edward in turn sacrifices his right arm in order to affix Alphonse’s soul to a suit of armor. The brothers eventually learn of the Philosopher’s Stone, an object of great power, which can apparently bring back the dead.

A 3rd, more darker series still, is Death Note. While the premise seems strange, it’s actually a pretty interesting title. Light Yagami is a brilliant, but awfully bored, 18 year-old. But one day he finds a notebook in the schoolyard titled “Death Note”. “Whoever’s name is written in this note, will die”. After testing the Death Note, and discovering its limitless potential. He is soon visited by the note’s previous owner, a Shinigami (God of Death) named Ryuk. Light decides to create, and rule, a new and better world, devoid of crime and evil. But world famous detective L become suspicious when criminals all over the world begin dying of mysterious circumstances. The hunt is on, and a psychological cat and mouse game between Light and L begins.

I think the manga Dragon Drive is really good!

fishtank!

My dad likes onepiece comics(don’t know what they count as) but is manga like yu-gi-oh or pokemon or(my fav) avatar?

I don’t read a lot of manga but one of my students got me hooked on Yotsuba&! It is an awesome read and absolutely hilarious!

Oh My Goddess/Ah Megami-sama (same title in English & Japanese) - not a huge amount of action, but very cute and fun. Three Goddesses - Urd (Past), Belldandy (Present) and Skuld (Future) and their adventures & misadventuures on Earth after a college student mistakenly calls the Goddess Hotline instead of Pizza and ends up with Belldadny as his girlfriend. Her sisters soon follow her to earth to see why she’s not come home, and things go from there. I’ve got several of the comic books, whole first season of the TV anime series, the movie, Tshirts and half a dozen model kits. But I’m not addicted
