Title:Vinland Saga
Volumes: 12+
Author:Makoto Yukimura
Rating: There are pretty gorish battle scenes and some other NSFW stuff so it is pretty safe to say that it's recommended for older teens.
Genre: Historical fiction, seinen, action
Basic Premise/Basic Plot: Young Viking Thorfinn goes after the murderer of his father named Askeladd to get his revenge. Aaand to not give away much - some definitely more important stuff will be going on.
Your Rating for the Artwork: A++ <3
Your Opinion/Review of the Art: Amazing art, there were some comparisons to Kentaro Miura's style, except 'Vinland Saga' is not as gorish and has got more realistic aspects.
Your Rating for the Story: A+
Your Opinion/Review of the Story: Awesome characters to start with (Askeladd especially has got quite a lot of fans) and the story, though still in progress, is very well developed and offers interesting perspectives on various social issues. Also hoping the story has just started, since the title rather seems to imply it...
Suggested for people who like: Historical (medieval age) fiction mangas with battling scenes and not only. I really highly recommend this manga mainly because it is not popular enough (Also i saw some vinland saga threads but they were 'old and decrepit' as i was informed of).

Cadis Etrama Di Raizel, Rai, while seeking to familiarize himself with this era, somehow locates a loyal servant of his, Frankenstein, who is currently the principal of a South Korean high school. Rai decides that this high school would be the perfect place to help him learn about the new world. He enrolls, and suddenly becomes the friend of Shinwoo, an immature teenager who is also a master martial artist. But this new world is no safer than the old, and the dignified, bewildered, technologically illiterate Rai finds himself caught up in adventures both ridiculous and dangerous. - See more at: http://mangafox.me/manga/noblesse/#sthash.KO5vIEbo.dpuf

Title: Fourteen
Rating: 18+
Genre: Sci-Fi/Horror
Basic Premise/Basic Plot: In a dystopian future where chicken meat is grown in labs, a mutant chicken breast grows into a supergenius man with a chicken head. Chicken George, as he calls himself, proclaims that he is the representative of all animals, and he plans to take revenge on humanity for their treatment of animals and the environment. What follows is the most ridiculous thing I have ever read. Ever.

Your Rating for the Artwork: B-
Your Opinion/Review of the Art: The art is... okay, I suppose. There are some really off-model moments, and what I feel is an over-reliance on shadow at times. However, I wouldn't call it bad. I've seen some really bad art, and this isn't quite it.

Your Rating for the Story: A++
Your Opinion/Review of the Story: I only read this because I heard the story is relentlessly insane. It lives up to that description. I'm only on the fourth volume of thirteen so far, and I've already seen tiger/tarantula hybrids, the curse of the plants, and a suitcase full of dinosaurs. Every ridiculous twist has me trying to suppress laughter so my family doesn't think I've gone mad.

Suggested for people who like: Unintentional comedy, crack fanfics, narm.

In short, this picture, but (usually) in a good way.

Title: Jack Evernite:Tales of Halloween
Rating: PG:13 (has some cussing and some graphic stuff but no nudity or sex)
Genre: Romance,Fantasy,Dark,Action
Status: Ongoing
Author: Serina Bailon (Saquya3)

Basic Premise/Basic Plot: A vampire who has spent his life in the human world and found love with a human finds himself torn form her and back in the halloween kingdom he came from. He soon discovers he was a lost prince. Now, he who has fought with authority all of his life, struggles to rule a kingdom while some of his people join forces to rebel against him. Despite him being bound to the throne, he often finds himself thinking about the girl he left behind in the human world. (There are alot of sideplots and some key romance points but those can't be explained without spoiling anything)

Your Rating for the Artwork: B
Your Opinion/Review of the Art: There are rarely backgrounds but the close-ups of people are always beautiful and the art style's really nice (it's like anime meets disney). I LOVE the character designs.


Your Rating for the Story
: A+++
Your Opinion/Review of the Story: The plotline is full of exciting twists with the bad guys using phycological strategy more than action (not to say there isn't action though). There's alot of romance, but it doesn't usually come in the standard "cute moments" like most manga. I also love Jack's character to death because he isn't Mr.Perfect. He's a bloodthirsty, rebellious vampire. All around, it's a very unique read and each character has some very creative ideas put into them, like Reaper/Angel of Mercy, Aspen, and Jack Evernite himself.

It's also really cool that the beginning of the story is told through four animated episodes before the manga and those depict Jack's time in the human world.

Suggested for people who like: xxHolic, Death Note, Vampire Knight, Trinity Blood, (And anyone who likes angst, romance, dark or sad stories with potentially happy endings...and plot twists! so many awesome plot twists *0*)

The series is currently ongoing and can be read here: COMIC The links ot the episodes are in the description
Title: Angel Densetsu
Status: completed series
Rating: There was no rating given, but I wouldn't say there is anything too mature. There is some violence, and some ogling of girls, but nothing too graphic. Maybe PG13?
Genre: comedy, martial arts, high school,

Basic Premise/Basic Plot:
Main character Kitano Seiichirou is a complete sweetie at heart. He is honest, gentle, hard-working, generous, and kind to a fault. Unfortunately, his natural features present a terrifying front, and at one glance, everyone around him immediately assumes he is a blood-thirsty delinquent. This leads to quite the difficulty in forming friendships and leading a normal high school life. It also leads to a number of misunderstandings which Kitano fails to correct due to his naïveté or tendency to believe the best in people. Hilarity ensues.

Your Rating for the Artwork: B-
Your Opinion/Review of the Art: For someone expecting to find the bishojo and bishonen typical in a high school manga (which often even include the "normal" students), the art style found here will be quite jarring. However, I would not give the art a C or lower because I believe its unique style combines well with the story. The pretty characters are shown as beautiful humans - they are high schoolers after all, not airbrushed models or barbie dolls. The ugly characters get some interesting features that don't stretch the bounds of realism too far. And the whole homey feel to it all brings the story out instead of glamming it up with superficial tears and perfectly sculpted features on 90% of the student body.

Your Rating for the Story: A+
Your Opinion/Review of the Story: The martial arts aspect of the story takes second seat to the humor. I was laughing out loud so much during this story. At the same time, the part of me that enjoys the typical fighting manga did get a little something out of Kitano's progress throughout the story. On top of the humor and the martial arts, the whole story is absolutely heartwarming. This is definitely one of my all-time favourite mangas. Bonus points for originality.

Suggested for people who like: fighting mangas, but who might be looking for something a little unexpected.

Title:Btooom!

Rating:18+

Genre:Action, Psychological, Romance, Science fiction

Basic Premise/Basic Plot:
Ryōta Sakamoto is an unemployed 22-year-old who lives with his mother. In the real world, there may be nothing really special about him, but online, he's one of the world's top players of the combat game called Btooom!. One day, he awakes in what appears to be a tropical island, though he has no memory of how or why he has come to be there. While wandering around, Ryōta sees someone and calls out for help. The stranger responds by throwing a bomb at him. Ryōta soon realizes both that his life is in danger and that he has somehow been trapped in a real-life version of his favorite game. In the game Ryota meets Himiko, who is another Btooom! gamer — and supposedly Ryota's in-game wife.

Your Rating for the Artwork: A-

Your Opinion/Review of the Art:
I like the realism to it (well besides Himiko...you know what, even though at first glance she seemsa lil too voluptuous for a highschooler, its not like teens like her don't exist)..it adds to the dark theme around the manga. Plus the backgrounds and scenery are eye catching. Though at some point their bodies somewhat change inconsistently (at some point he suddenly his nose grows longer)

Your Rating for the Story: A

Your Opinion/Review of the Story:
i enjoy survival stories like this, even more when there's like a bigger reason behind it...like big corrupted companies investing money in illegal projects or scientists doing illegal experiments that endanger human lives...
