Manga suggestions

[Watanabe Ken]

I'm ashamed to say I've never read a manga and would like some recommendations on what I should start with.

I think before I can give any real suggestions I'd need to know what kind of stories you enjoy, maybe give an example of some anime you like to start us off?

Also, would you prefer completed/on-going series - long or short series? ^^

If you got a Crunchyroll subscription I'd recommend trying something on their site before purchasing any mangas to make sure you like reading them first.

Anime wise I tend to go towards Science fiction/fantasy/horror types of shows. I do enjoy shonen but I don't thing I could read something long like naruto or one piece or a slice of life high school romance. Don't really mind if it's a complete or on going story.

I've not got Crunchyroll but I don't mind buying a couple to see if like reading them.

Just a few suggestions off the top of my head for series that are not too long and have either finished or are ongoing (but not into hundreds of volumes):

The Ancient Magus' Bride (dark fantasy) 6 volumes ongoing
Tokyo Ghoul (horror) 14 volumes - complete, although I think not all published in English yet?
One Punch Man (science fiction/shonen) 11 volumes in English so far (ongoing)
I'd also recommend a classic shonen series like Dragon Ball Z (which can be bought in omnibus editions) because Toriyama is well worth reading, even if you've already watched the anime (for all the little details and the humour)
Parasyte (classic horror/sci-fi series) 8 volumes

Blue Exorcist (fantasy, 16 volumes, ongoing but caught up with Japan so the volumes come out pretty slowly)
Terraformers (scifi, 21 volumes, ongoing)
Knights of Sidonia (scifi, 15 volumes)

No worries dude, I've only read one and that was years ago; can't even remember what it was (it was loaned to me from a college friend and I don't think I even finished it). I love the art of manga though
