9. Death Note  

Death note is a TOP mystery manga i have ever read. It has twist and turns, thrill.The best part in this manga is not its art (which r really good) but is characters...
LIGHT / KIRA and L ...
The face off between them how they first challenge each other till the very end will keep u on the edge.
In this manga you cannot say whats good what bad till end.

But when criminals begin dropping dead, the authorities send the legendary detective L to track down the killer. With L hot on his heels, will Light lose sight of his noble goal… or his life?'


8. Fruits Basket  

Fruits Basket starts off as a goofy romantic comedy, then develops into an emotional roller coaster that mixes humor, fantasy, profoundly emotional romance and family drama
I don't want to say this but its only the manga who makes me want to cry in both the happy and sad way. I also don't know what makes it special but its special.

NOW ABOUT THE STORY

However, the Sohma family shares a secret, and it isn't long before Tohru discovers that there's a reason why her classmates, Yuki and Kyo Sohma, never let girls get near them, and never talk about their lives before they lived with Shigure. And before she knows it, Tohru has become so tangled up in the lives of each member of the Sohma family that she couldn't leave even if she wanted to.

As she learns more and more about the truth of the Sohma family and the nature of their secrets, she desperately searches for a way that she can save them. But what can one girl do, especially when it seems that she may have been part of someone's plan all along . . ."

7. BERSERK

Berserk is the most carnal and beautifully crafted manga I've ever read; both in the art and the story. In other words its a Masterpiece. There are many words that come into mind when thinking about Berserk, but only one includes them all: MASTERPIECE. A life's work for its author and a life's read for me. Not only beautiful, but so deeply thoughtful that makes Tolkien's childish tales seem like Teletubbies. Good and bad (God and Devil) are only terms (ideas) born from our fears. There is no good-bad only human and human means endless tragedy and shivering beauty. To fully enjoy it you have to be patient WARNING: Definitely not for the weak hearted.
NOW ABOUT THE STORY
" Gats, known as the Black Swordsman, seeks sanctuary from the demonic forces attracted to him and his woman because of a demonic mark on their necks, and also vengeance against the man who branded him as an unholy sacrifice. Aided only by his titanic strength gained from a harsh childhood lived with mercenaries, a gigantic sword, and an iron prosthetic left hand, Gats must struggle against his bleak destiny, all the while fighting with a rage that might strip him of his humanity."

  6. TOWER OF GOD

TOG stands at the current pinnacle of manga/manhwa evolution. The author carefully analyzed the ingredients to the most entertaining manga/manhwa, and managed to put them together into a single package. Actually at first I hesitated to read this. it didn't sound really appealing. however, I felt that Ihad to give it a try, so I started. OMG, that was a good decision! right now, ToG is my favorite manhwa /webtoon.
NOW ABOUT THE STORY
" Baam  is the protagonist of the story. Baam is unusual in the Tower in that he opened the door himself, and is not bound by the laws of the Tower. Such people are known as Irregulars, and are seen as a threat throughout the tower.

Soon after being reunited with Rachel, Baam is betrayed by her. Now what happen to baam who is betrayed by the  one who he believed most "

5. The Breaker 

The breaker is a manga/manhwa that i drop 2 or 3 time after reading the first 2 volumes but one day i read it at once now here it is in my favorite list . It starts a bit slow, but by the end its pretty awesome. It has some twists and turns towards the end that make it worth the wait. I also think the art is darn good and overall the characters are superb specially the the teacher who is really a bad ass.
This manga/manhwa also has a sequel that is also as awesome as this series. I think without reading it completely its better to not judge it.
NOW ABOUT THE STORY
"The new English teacher, Chun-Woo, is not your ordinary teacher. Shioon, a victim of constant bullying, unexpectedly witnesses Chun-Woo's fighting prowess, and begs him to make him his disciple. Chun-Woo claims he can teach Shioon only if he is truly determined, and Shioon must put his life on the line to prove it. It turns out, however, that Chun-Woo and his powers are more than meets the eye. Shioon makes a grand entrance into the Murim (the hidden world of martial arts), and he is about to be taught by the best there is!"

 4.NARUTO

Naruto is one of the manga i am reading since i was a child. Naruto has taught me that revenge isn't solution for our hate towards someone. It also taught me to treasure my friends because It's lonely without friends and so on. Anyway if your looking for action, comedy and a little drama mixed in, then you'll love Naruto. Naruto is quite enjoyable, especially the first couple arcs. It is very popular among the shounen community. However, because of this, many people also dislike it. Overall though, Naruto has excellent action, good humor, a lot of other great aspects.
NOW ABOUT THE STORY
"Twelve years ago, the powerful Nine-Tailed Demon Fox attacked the ninja village of Konohagakure. The demon was quickly defeated and sealed into the infant Naruto Uzumaki, by the Fourth Hokage who sacrificed his life to protect the village. Now Naruto is the number one knucklehead ninja who's determined to become the next Hokage and gain recognition by everyone who ever doubted him!"

3.Noblesse 

Noblesse: Cadis Etrama Di Raizel. Never, in all my years of reading all genres of fiction novels, short stories, epic poems, mangas, etc, or in all the movies or shows I've watched, have I ever seen such a self-sacrificing, loyal, and absolutely astounding show of character as I've seen in Noblesse. Here you've got the most powerful being on the whole planet from the get-go.
What makes this manhwa special and draws me to love it  is Cadis Etrama Di Raizel and Frankenstain's personality the plot is not thick even first few chapter are so so boring but afterwords the real thing begins..
NOW ABOUT THE STORY
"For 820 years he had slumbered with no knowledge of mankind's advancement and scientific progress. The land which he once knew has become an unfamiliar place with new technology, attitudes, and lifestyles. Upon awakening, Cadis Etrama Di Raizel (called Rai), seeks to familiarize himself with this era. He locates a loyal servant of his, Frankenstein, who is currently the principal of a high school in South Korea. Rai decides that this school is the perfect place to help him learn about the modern world, enrolls, and begins associating with a group of good-natured students in order to 'blend in.' But this new world is no safer than the old; and the dignified, bewildered, technologically inept Rai finds himself embroiled in adventures both ridiculous and dangerous."

2.BLEACH

Bleach is a well-planned out unique story- it is not perfect and does has some problems with overused story elements, but the overall series is very well planned out, and the author knows where he's taking the story to. The characters all generally have a unique persona- most of them are charming, and you'll come to love a great deal of some characters. Art is good quality, and the one thing the author does great in is setting up a certain "mood" through art. If you are a patient reader or lover of action- reading Bleach weekly is not a problem. If you are a reader who puts emphasis on story/characters and do not enjoy action scenes as much, I'd recommend you'd read Bleach in bulk.
NOW ABOUT THE STORY
"Ichigo Kurosaki has always been able to see ghosts, but this ability doesn't change his life nearly as much as his close encounter with Rukia Kuchiki, a Soul Reaper and member of the mysterious Soul Society. While fighting a Hollow, an evil spirit that preys on humans who display psychic energy, Rukia attempts to lend Ichigo some of her powers so that he can save his family, but much to her surprise, Ichigo absorbs every last drop of her energy. Now a full-fledged Soul Reaper himself, Ichigo quickly learns that the world he inhabits is one full of dangerous spirits, and along with Rukia, who is slowly regaining her powers, it's Ichigo's job to both protect the innocent from Hollows and to help the spirits themselves find peace."

 1. ONE PIECE

ONE PIECE=EPIC the only word fit for this manga is EPIC. One Piece has everything you can look for in a fantasy: Interesting main cast, good supporting characters & an excellent world building. The artwork has improved with time & the action is well done. How can I show my love for this series? I absolutely can't get enough of it. Read it once, read it twice? You'll never have enough, trust me. If I have one suggestion to the reader before starting this series, it's to pace yourself. Do not read it all in one go, savor it. It's an adventure that spans for who-knows-how-long. It's an incredible ride and what's more, it's only half way through. It is also  ranked as the best-selling series in manga history.
NOW ABOUT THE STORY
"As a child, Monkey D. Luffy dreamed of becoming the King of the Pirates. But his life changed when he accidentally gained the power to stretch like rubber...at the cost of never being able to swim again! Now Luffy, with the help of a motley collection of nakama, is setting off in search of the "One Piece," said to be the greatest treasure in the world..."
