What are your current top five favorite shounen mangas?
They can be either finished or ongoing.

My top 5 ongoing:

1. Bakuman
2. Air Gear
3. Medaka Box
4. Soul Eater
5. Sankarea

And a couple of questions for non-shounen manga lovers: Any plans on trying them out? Why or why not? And what kind of manga are you into? Seinen? Shoujo? Adult?

I lost interest in Air Gear fairly quickly.
Soul Eater is fun though.

I like One Piece and FMA.
Bleach is WAY too long for me to keep track of, though I'll get on track with it eventually.

Fairy Tail is a little "Meh". I like the author's first work much more, though that one has its major plot holes too. I think it's just overall better than Fairy Tail.

Overall I like Shounen a lot more than other kinds of manga. To me, Shounen has a little bit of everything, while the others just play on being "pretty" and "in love" and stuff.

I read Air Gear because Oh!Great is the best manga maker when it comes to art. Everything is so detailed and fine-tuned that It's hard to not be amazed by the art.

One Piece is "Meh" for my taste. I can't get over how a plotted story can be stretched to such a length. There are too many plot holes that come out from doing so. But FMA is thte best.

Fairy Tail isn't THAT great. The story plot is average. I only read it for the girls. JUVIA!

Shounen is the best.

Air Gear is pretty to look at, yeah.

I like One Piece, but it does need to end. It's way too long!

And yeah. Fairy Tail has definitely fallen flat.

I can't believe that Bleach will end before One Piece will. I think One Piece has no intention of ending anytime soon. Eichiro Oda (the maker) was an assistant under Akira Toriyama during Dragon Ball. So he was influenced to draw in a child-like manner and create a long-lasting story. I hope it doesn't take as long as Dragon Ball. . .

Yeah, I know. It's about time BOTH of them end. :lol:

Dragon Ball was nearly endless, I swear!

5. Gintama

These are not in order, by the way. :D

Hm, Shounen is my fave type of manga. I don't like Shoujo mangas that much (Well, it depends on the character and story though). I don't really like whiny girls. (-_____-)

Shounen is also my favorite genre. I can't stand shojou. Vampire Knight made me want to claw my eyes out.

I also like seinen. But I have my limit. I like things like Chobits, Ubel Blatt, and Needless. But I can't handle stuff like Gantz (I apologize to all the Gantz lovers!)

Fairy Tail is currently the top manga right now (according to popularity.) It's awesome. I honestly only read it for the women. JUVIA!!!!! <3

I also like Reborn! The vindice are epic.

Hm, but Vampire Knight is really popular among girls. XD

Chobits is awesome. I used to watch it when I was a kid. (Well, I'm still a kid though) Hoho, I'm kinda interested in Gantz but I never read it though.

Yes, yes yesyesyeyes. Fairy Tail is awesome. *Cough* I read it because I'm interested in super powers. (Even though I know I won't have them. But I know, deep inside our hearts, our powers lies within us. XD) Daheck did I just say? Hahaha.

And yes, Vindice ftw \mmmmm/

I still can't stand the story line of most Shojou mangas. does not appeal to me.

Chi is cute. nuff said.

Well, Fairy Tail is definitely interesting. The powers aren't that extraordinary. I prefer the powers in Medaka Box.

The vindice look like zombies. . .
