Akumetsu.

just don't do a google image search beforehand, you'll get spoilered.

Read Mars by Yokoyama. It's a classic shounen manga with the sort of positive outlook you'd expect from the author who created the giant robot genre.

Thanks anons, gonna try Akumetsu tonight and Mars tomorrow.

First Mars cover is pure genious btw lol

Also good mangas into the scifi genre ?
I'm a big fan of Blame, biomega and abara by Nihei, but I don't see lots of manga with scifi plots.

Deadman Wonderland (Seinen to the core)

>>270264
Already read it and liked it !

You tried anything by Hoshino Yukinobu? 2001 Nights is a good place to start with him.

If you could stomach primitive character designs, try a manga called Azumi

>>270277
>Also I'd rather go with mangas that are already finished since I curse the day I discovered Berserk every fucking second of my life
Why are you recommending something that's 40+ volumes from being finished if you include the sequel?

If you want something different, try out Taiyo Matsumoto. Recommended works are basically everything:
Gogo Monster (short surreal story about growing about
Tekkon Kinkreet (short violent sureal story about growing about)
No. 5 (surreal action-thriller with philosophy)
Ping Pong (sport coming of age)

>2001 Nights

Didn't know that manga, the art looks gorgeous ! Thanks !

>>270280
>Taiyo Matsumoto

Wow that seems good, the art reminds me of some Moebius works !

You know it baby. Moebius is everywhere.

>>270292
Moebius is one of my favorite artist, i'm definitely gonna check taiyo matsumoto ! Are his plots any good ?

Since he is so unpopular I can't tell you what most people think of his work. I know they like his most recent work, Sunny. Probably helped that it is semi-autobiographic.
I definitely think Ping Pong is amazing. Tekkon Kinkreet is a weird thing, but it does seem to connect with a lot of people, like me. The adaptations based on these two are very well received.
On the other hand, I didn't understand neither No. 5 nor Gogo Monster. Maybe they are too smart or maybe I am.

His panel layout is amazing too and doesn't entirely rely on dialog. Lots of pages in which the pictures speak for themselves. I like that.

In short: he is worth reading for the art alone and you got to form your own opinion on his stories.

Team Medical Dragon. Scanlations are completely dead though.

>>270311
Did you not read Takemitsu-Zamurai? That's what I consider to be his best work.

>>270296
Did you know Moebius was once involved in writing a manga? Not the best work by him or the artist:

>Did you not read Takemitsu-Zamurai?
I did not and he was not writting it. Only did the art. So credit doesn't entirely belong to him and it is not an 100% Taiyo Matsumoto product. But I do here good things about it and it seems to be the most popular manga he has been involved with.

>>270334
If other works by Eifuku were available in English, it'd be easier to divvy up the credit. As it is, I err on the side of giving the bulk of the credit to Matsumoto, especially since Eifuku doesn't seem to have done other works in that vein.

Regardless, the art is just perfect for the story.

>>270311
Oh now I remember I saw the movie Tekkon Kinkreet ! Since the title was translated in French I didn't realize what it was ! I loved the art style and animation, some parts where strange or clunky but I definitely liked it !

>His panel layout is amazing too and doesn't entirely rely on dialog
That's a very good thing for me. Part of what I liked in Blame and Biomega. [spoiler]besides lots of authors aren't very good with dialogues and it end up awkward when they try[/spoiler]

>>270317
Arf so bad, I'm not sure I will try it then :(

>>270332
Nope, I didn't know at all. Lol your critic doesn't really hype me about reading it but well I could try I guess x)

And I mess my spoilers sigh ><

>>270351
There are no spoilers on /wsr/.

>Lol your critic doesn't really hype me about reading it but well I could try I guess
Anyhow, I think most of Taniguchi's manga are available in French, so you can check out his non-Moebius works too. His early stuff tended to be pulp/noir, and he was also renowned for his slice of life works later in his career.

Ah, before I forgot. As a fan you might enjoy the little known short Dragon's Heaven. The creator wasn't subtle about his inspiration.

My personal favorite is Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, not sure if you've read/watched it but I love it. I'm really into Seinen anime

>>270358
>The creator wasn't subtle about his inspiration.
LOL I can see that ! Still look good though.

>>270375
Is it a manga adaptaed from a video game ?

Try some Dowman Sayman stuff. Nickelodon, The End of Sexual Instinct and the Hydrogen Bomb, or my favorite, the Voynich Hotel. His series are pretty short, can probably read each one in an afternoon.

If you like scifi, there's Qualia the Purple. It's about the weird consequences of perceiving people as robots.
