Favorite Obsure Manga
What are your favorite obscure manga (that haven't been turned into a popular anime) and why? By obscure manga, I mean manga which most people who read manga casually haven't heard of. Also, I would prefer that the manga hasn't been licensed. ^.^ In general, I love manga that is based on real life and that doesn't have too much action. I also like manga with a lot of adventure and characters who have unusual personalities and character development. ^.^
My favorite manga are 3 AM DANGEROUS ZONE, A House in Venice, and No. 6. I am fond of 3 AM because I think the main character has a really unique personality and the environment of working into the nighttime isn't usually portrayed in manga. I like A House In Venice a lot because the main character is very introspective and curious, I love reading manga about art, and there's a slight focus on mystery and observation. I also particularly love No. 6 because the main characters' personalities are very unique to me. I also find it interesting to see how people behave in a poverty-stricken environment. Thank you in advance for responding!

Re: Favorite Obsure Manga
berserk is a popular anime
But there was a manga i read called Holyland, its a martial arts manga about a kid who didnt fit in anywhere and turned to the streets and nightlife to find the that special home he longed for. Good idea middie, here is the link to read it http://www.mangareader.net/729/holyland.html

I read this one like a crack addict. It's absurd as hell what it is but you know it's just done well enough. Few male characters in anime / manga actually catch my eye as entertaining (I can only name two anime that do this: Hachiman from Yahare and Kirito from SOA. I dis-include N because he was a game character first.) But the teacher character is fucking hilarious. I'd LOVE to see this done into an anime. It'd be pretty hard to mess up. |

Re: Favorite Obsure Manga
dunno how obscure it is, but since I don't hear about it, Clover was a pretty good manga imo
also Bamboo Blade...but like, that's semi-obscure I think |

As for my favourite obscure manga, that would be Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou. It's not so obscure, it's more that the many people that attempt to read it fail to complete it. It's an amazing story, an amazing slice of life, and very uplifting in an odd way. :) http://myanimelist.net/manga/4/Yokohama_Kaidashi_Kikou And then there is BLAME! http://myanimelist.net/manga/149/BLAME! ^ read it. :|

Though if I'm allowed to mention light novels, Utsuro no Hako to Zero no Maria is really good.

Re: Favorite Obsure Manga
Disregarding obscurity one of my favorites is Binbougami Ga!.
I am currently reading Kuragehime because the anime just kind of ended. |

not as obscure as the next 2, but its pretty funny and does a good job of mixing in moments of insane badassery and cool fighting with plenty of comedy. http://myanimelist.net/manga/5820/Sumire 16-sai slice of lifey but the main character is a doll controled by an old man trying to live as a normal highschool girl. every chapter is pretty funny. http://myanimelist.net/manga/4158/Lolicon_Phoenix evil orginazation wants to kidnap all the little girls, only a creepy pedophile in a phoenix mask can save them. |

Watamote. Not the most obscure thing but it fits the bill.

Re: Favorite Obsure Manga
I am a pretty huge fan of Kaiji and The Liar Game.
Both seem really underrated IMO. |

Re: Favorite Obsure Manga
I'm reading Kaiji for the first time, and it has almost the exact same atmosphere as Akagi. The plot of Kaiji is interesting to me, but I can't seem to become immersed into the story when it's so similar to Akagi. >.<
*edit* I just realized the thread title says Obsure instead of Obscure. x.x
