A couple of manga.. wait is it mangas? Or mangae? Mangi? Anyway, 3 manga, kazan gamaran and Arakawa Under the Bridge.
1) Kazan is a story about the son of a famous tribe's chief, who had a childhood friend and an eagle. One day, a man came for them, claiming Kazan's father (who hadn't returned to the tribe for a long time) sold Kazan to him (the mysterious man) and came to take him. His childhood friend who was with him tried to stop the man, but ended up getting taken away in kazan's place. The man then destroyed kazan's entire tribe, leaving only him and his eagle. Kazan then travels with his eagle to find his childhood friend and take revenge on the mysterious man.
2) Gamaran is about kurogane Gama, the son of a legendary swordsman who is believed to have killed 1000 martial artists in Unabara.
The ruler of the powerful state Unabara, Washitzu Naosata, is looking for his successor. He calls upons all his 31 sons, and tell them to search for whoever they believe to be the strongest martial artist of all. Each of their chosen martial artists then are to fight against each other until only one is left standing. Whoever is the winner, whoever has the strongest martial artist in nation by his side will become his successor.
There, one of the son of Washitzu Naosata, Washitzu Naoshi, comes in search of the legendary swordsman, only to find that he had gone missing several years ago. After seeing the battle style of Gama, he instead chooses to ask Gama to come with him. Wanting to become stronger, Gama agrees to his offer, and that marks the beginning of Gama's battle to become the strongest of all .
Actually i just copy pasted most of the description from the internet. Gamaran is interesting as a swordfighting manga (or should i say martial arts manga), like ruroni kenshin, but of course i wouldn't compare them both. They have their appealing parts, though i still prefer RK. Gamaran is still good, though it is a more serious manga than RK. It's worth reading IMO.
Lastly it's Arakawa under the bridge. If you have read Bobobo-bo-bobo bo , gintama or the likes of it, Arakawa under the bridge belongs to this family or randomness. It is not as chaotic as Bobobo, but messed up enough for you to follow and have a laugh if you appreciate randomness and awesome drawing (like one of the scenes in "Today in Class 5-2"). In fact, AUtB is slightly more random than Today in Class 5-2, but more logical than Bobobobobobobobobo, lesser puns than gintama. Those who read all the abovementioned mangas (excluding AUtB of course) probably will understand what kind of manga AUtB is now. Whether you'll enjoy this manga is probably up to your mood.
More manga when i can remember them!
