Manga Poll

[BravoSector]

Since its impossible to pick the GREATEST MANGA OF THEM ALL!, I decided that having a poll on the best manga by category would be the most accurate way to figure out the best manga. If you don't understand my logic, picture this: The best manga in your favorite category could be, in your mind, the best manga.

But enough about that. I'll list some general categories, then you vote. If anyone has any other categories, just mention them and I'll edit this post.

Rules:
1. Try to answer every category.
2. Only list one unless its absolutely necessary.
3. No anime.

CATEGORIES:
Most realistic manga (aka, most likely to take place in real life)

Most detailed manga

Best mystery manga

Funniest manga

Most violent manga

Most action-y

Best sci-fi manga

Best historical manga (aka, takes place in medieval times, ancient rome, etc)

Best world

Most twisted storyline

Most pointless

Best romance manga

Saddest storyline

Most disturbing

Most religious

Most racist

Most nudity without being hentai

Best character (list character and manga)

Hottest character (list character and manga)

Best use of ninjas (i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif)

New categories:
Best Martial arts

Best Samurai

Best Shonen or Youth manga

Most unpredictable Storyline


Best real sport:

Best 'I can't believe they made this into a manga' sport:

Best high school Romance:

Look at Mut's answers!
but with romance manga, Ichigo 100% - Ah! My Goddess

[Mut]

Oh fuck, I do read romance manga.

That would be, Ah! My Goddess.

[Winged Dancer]

Ichigo 100% is not romance manga, is "Fanservice with a ball-less main character manga". I'll do the poll later.

[Terracosmo]

I can't believe you listed Peacemaker Kurogane as "best" something. That's the worst show ever made. : (

[Ryllharu]

Manga, not series. We are in the manga forum. And the manga is SOOOO much better than the show, which is pretty bad (except for that one eps).

Comparatively, the show was downright godawful.

[Hakeem_21]

Is the manga of peace maker that good? Is there good fights in it?

[Ryllharu]

The fights are short but they get the job done (like most manga). The art is much better than the show and the story actually progresses.

The show ends by mixing the two series together and hashing out some bullsh*t ending. Shinsengumi Imon is the basic plot of the show while PMK is what happens after the show ends with most of the lame ghost stuff, though the rest of it is really good.

I'll stop here because I really don't want to derail this topic too far.

[kAi]

I got some of the manga for that, and it was pretty good, what I've read.

[Honoko]

Best real sport as prince of tennis???? no way! Hajime no Ippo pwns all =P

as for Best 'I can't believe they made this into a manga' sport, if the game Go counts as a sport, then I'd root for Hikaru no Go i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif

and Best HS Adventure would go to Azumanga Daioh hehehee

[Ryllharu]

Are we making a distinction for seinen (basically Harem manga, like Ichigo 100%, Love Hina, Ah! My Goddess) and other romance series (which is basically made up by shoujo)? They're kinda different, since one is totally unrealistic.

[Hakeem_21]

Hajime No Ippo

Best 'I can't believe they made this into a manga' sport:

Bowling King (its one of the funniest manga i have read but still i never thought i would be reading a manga about bowling)
