Default What manga have you dropped. - 07-18-2010, 10:41 PM

I find that when I add new manga to my reading list I end up dropping those that have failed to keep my interest. Now these aren't necessarily bad manga but I've reached the point where I have to make some concessions; I can't spend all my time reading manga after all. However, what if those manga have improved since I've read them last? To that end I'm asking for everyone's opinion, and maybe find out what manga they have also dropped recently.

Dropped Manga
Shaman King: Now supernatural/adventure manga are my favorite, but lately I find that there needs to be some sort of romance going on for me to fully enjoy them. Yo has a fiance but there isn't anything happening between them. It doesn't help that the other supporting characters aren't all that interesting either.

Katekyo Hitman Reborn: Pretty much more of the same as Shaman King. The supporting characters have more personality and are a little more interesting but still no romance. Yeah yeah he wants to get stronger to protect his friends but really he needs to get laid or at least go on a date sometime.

Bloody Monday 2: I liked the first series but seriously how much abuse can a guy take before he offs himself. The plot twists are so extreme they border on the implausible, and just about every character dies, is deranged, or ends up a traitor so it's really hard to like anyone.

Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer: This one had a little romance it in but the premise was just too out there that it killed the plot. Yes I have to save the world from a giant hammer just so I can destroy it on my own terms all while fighting giant play-do men.

There was another one that I forget the name of but it had there guys who might have been princes from outer space and one used finger puppets to call the power of the constellations. Yeah I know real deep there.. dropped that one too.

whaT!? u dropped MiXiM?!

You sir, deserves a pity from me.

Hmm, I dropped Naruto and Bleach. WHY? Cuz the plot is getting stupid. I liked Naruto when he when to the chuunin exam and all, met Jiraiya, Kuchiyose no Jutsu etc. I even get excited after he returned from training with Jiraiya after 2 years. Start from there, the story is fucked up. Sasuke being emo and all "Give me back my brother". Srsly, wtF?

Bleach? I liked it yeh, at first only. At one time I forgot to follow the weekly update, I fell behind real far and forgotten most of the story. I wanted to start from scratch and read the manga from beginning. After that I read around early chapter, then I didn't even bother to read anymore. Its not like I hate it, I just didn't feel like reading it all over again. But I did sometimes read the forums discussing about Bleach .. and I went 'WTF' when I heard Aizen is still alive? I mean, he's not defeated YET? Sigh. Get a life.

Currently I'm following One Piece's weekly update atm. Really nice, got a lot of foes, serious battles involving deep story, and even new characters development, more stronger characters appear which really have the 'unique' feeling to it. Totally owning.

lulz I wrote too much >.>

I dropped none b/c I do research on the manga before I make the mistake on wasting my time reading it.

Shinobi Life, that was the one with the ninja from the past who fell through a lake and met a high school from the present and they kept bouncing back and forth through time... yeah I dropped that one too. Tsuki no Shippo was a much better ninja romance IMO.
