I'm lookin for a new manga to read like a lot of people. I read the big three and fairy tail so I like a lot of manga styles. I do want one that involves fighting of course so please give me some recommendations with a short summary. Thanks

I've completed Death Note and read Fairy Tail. What's Blue Exorcist?

Two I'll suggest are Soul Eater and High School of the Dead

Soul Eater- Basically it is where you have an academy called the DWMA that specializes in hunting down demons such as say Jack the Ripper. To hunt them students work in teams. One Meister and One weapon. The Meister is a person who is skilled in handleing weapons and senses souls. A weapon is someone who can literally turn into a weapon.

The story focuses on three teams (one team consisting of a Meister that wields two weapons: Twin Guns).

The main characters are Malawi (meister) and Soul (a weapon who can turn himself into a scythe).

The goal is to have the Weapons eat 99 demon souls and one soul of a witch.


High School of the Dead: First and foremost the greatest fan-service series to exist. Basically if you like fan service and a zombie apocalypse here you go. The key is to survive, and the story focuses on a group of 7 survivors and a dog (puppy to be precise).


Only problem is that Soul Eater is more of a monthly release, and HSOTD hasn't been out since November (new chapter in June). However they do have really long chapters.

Soul eater is on chapter 104 (but each chapter is about 30 pages)

HSOTD is on I believe chapter 30 bit the first couple chapters are like 70 pages followed by 30 page chapters.

It seems you like that genre of shonen so I'd recommend either Soul Eater or Full Metal Alchemist to you.

Soul Eater is actually pretty unique in that fact that there's possibly three sets of main characters. Maka and Soul are recognized as the main ones I believe but it would be hard to tell. The idea is that this ancient and powerful entity named Shinigami set up a school. Fighters are either a tactician (a weapon user) or somebody who can transform into weapons. If they're compatible with each other, they will obviously be more powerful. Oh, and the weapons can eat souls. After 100 souls, they'll transform into an even greater weapon. They get these souls from defeating evil figures and what not. As for the enemy, I guess the equivalent of Naruto's "Juubi" would be Asura but there are plenty of other villains along the way.

Full Metal Alchemist is another alternative. These "alchemists" can have a variety of powers. As for the main characters, Ed and Al, they're trying to gain back the body parts they lost after attempting a certain forbidden ritual. The first few chapters might make people wonder what's going on but it clears up later. It's a pretty great series.

Area D- Inou Ryouiki its pretty dope. So what happened was something happened (a star explodes or something like that) and it gave certain people supernatural abilities (they're called the altered). And I know what you're thinking... its darker than black all over again... NOPE... I honestly like this manga a lot better.

So anyway... they take these altered and put them in an island prison called Area D and then it gets crazy.

Soul Eater is another good one but they only release about 1 chapter a month

Bakuman, it is so much better than Death Note in my opinion.
