Lol, all you guys and your gory preferences. I'll check them out later today.
I prefer the creepy sort of horror, and also implied horror. Something like Oyasumi Punpun. It wasn't exactly horror, but the generally dark mood and nihilism made me uncomfortable.
That was a Grade-S serving of gratituous mind-rape right there. I like how it wasn't just pure horror, but included an emotional side as well. I admit, the ending was touching.
[quote name='TheRazyChan']Don't you also cut your wrists? And the fact that the thing you're reading is called LIFE just makes it oh so much more suspicious.[/quote]
The reason I started reading it is because it had good reviews. -__- And for the last time, I'M NOT AN EMO (and I certainly don't cut wrists).

Brilliant, brilliant manga. You, madam, have good taste in manga! : D If you loved Oyasumi Punpun, you'll like Onani Master Kurosawa (it gets better around Chapter 10). It's not horror, but it's worth reading and has some references to Death Note and Code Geass.
I suggest you also try Monster (trust me, you'll love it). For a bit of dark romance with depth, I recommend After School Nightmare. Kiseijuu is also good (really weird... 8D).
And yeah, I love Uzumaki. Perhaps the best Horror. Read the other works by that mangaka. They're all pretty good. :3

Uzumaki is good. I'll be sure to check out your recommendations in the meantime.
Also, I'm looking for mangas like Spice and Wolf. Medieval theme, cute girl (though not overly tsun or anything), slice-of-life or adventure, with romance.
[quote name='Hadriel']I'm looking for a manga with a main female character who isn't Tsundere or Yandere or Kuudere or any of those ridiculously extreme-in-only-one-emotional-faucet characters. Examples: Lenalee from DGM or Kaoru from Amagami. As for genre, I prefer slice of life, comedy and romance (without ecchi)
[/QUOTE]
All slice of life + girls as main character:
Solanin (quite depressing at times), Yotsuba, Minami-ke and Sketchbook.
[quote name='Kaze Araki']Bondage Fairies is a recommended classic.[/QUOTE]
Well, many people have praised me in the past for picking out manga which is suited for them. I'm not sure whether it's to do with common interests and whatnot, but I'm willing to help out. If you're desperately looking for a particular manga, answer the following so that I would get a flavour of what you are looking for:
- When searching for something specific, make it clear.
- Specify likes and dislikes (genres, mangaka). If you are open minded, state this.
- Suggest similar manga (this is optional if you are looking for something completely different from the usual shit).
- Extra comments (this is optional, but this is the perfect opportunity to say if you are looking for good art rather than a solid plot line).
Note of self:
- Mostly read shoujo, seinen and josei. Has some knowledge of shounen (limited).
- Interested in romance, horror and psychological genre.
- Never read yuri and hentai. Only read two yaoi.
- Not a fan of ecchi, mecha and sci-fi.
- Read over 1000 manga.
Here are some (NOT ALL) manga I've read. Most of them in the list below are shoujo (in case you have not realised).
