I want to start reading some new Manga, so any suggestions would be great. I would like something that has a loosely similar style to FMA/Bleach/D.Grayman/Deathnote, whether it be similar graphical style, or similar in the way the story is laid out. Basically, just suggest what you guys think I would like, or any good Manga that you've read lately that you feel deserves attention. :)

I would totally recommend checking out Gantz because it's kinda cool. Also some classics like Ghost in the shell or Akira are highly recommended.
If you're after a simple one then Zoids Chaotic century is a nice quick read.

Oh, I love Ghost in the shell (Anime), I didn't even know their was a manga. I also saw the first Zoids anime like many years ago and it was ok. I'll be sure to check all these out (except One Piece, I really don't like it :D​). Thanks

Maybe try:

Naruto; 666 Satan/O-Parts Hunter; Air Gear; Blue Dragon Ral-Grado; Hunter X Hunter; Liar Game (just heard about this one recently); Katekyo Hitman Reborn!; Claymore; Berserk; Gantz.

Those are all I can think of right now.

Oh, I've already been reading Naruto, it's pretty good. Damn that's a big list of manga. I got enough suggestions to last me a freaking year! Thanks guys.

EDIT: Quick Question - I watched a school anime like maybe a couple of years ago that came on TechTv late night maybe? Anyway, it was about this new guy that came to school and he was a "badass" and their were "badass" people at the school and they started following him or something (I'm not saying he's a badass, but they threw that word around a lot when referring to people in anime). It was pretty lighthearted, like not DBZ-style battle or anything of the sort. I also seem to recall some kind of robot that pretended to be a human (but was pretty obviously a robot) that was his rival. It also had a pretty weird name and an awesome intro. Any ideas at to what it's called and if it's a Manga or only an Anime? It's been racking my brain all day. :(

EDIT2: Found it, it was Cromartie High School. That show rocked.

I usually don't download every volume of a series, so I don't read them in bulk. I download like a couple and read them, then wait a couple of days and download some more (if I like them) so that I can soak it all in, re-read it, and make it last as long as possible.  :naughty:

Cromartie High School

EDIT: oh edit

Heh. Thanks anyway DS.

Tekkonkinkreet!

It's quite unusual, and there's a lot of violence and stuff. But it's really awesome. I'd also recommend Lone Wolf and Cub, as well as Buddha and Pheonix by Osamu Tezuka.

Oh, and Fullmetal Alchemist too, but I'm guessing you're already reading it.

Maybe also try Paranoia Agent and Welcome to the N.H.K (those are more realistic series)? Also check out Samurai Champloo and Ergo Proxy.
