My most favorite manga

 

[indi_n0rd]

Madoka Ayukawa- the progenitor of shounen's archetypal 'tsundere' persona which we see in this generation's manga.

@indi_n0rd do not forget Lum : )

 

[indi_n0rd]

@HermesPasser are you talking about Urusei Yatsura? If yes, should I pick it up?

 

[HermesPasser]

@indi_n0rd Yes, it is Urusei Yatsura, but i would recommend Maison Ikkoku instead because is more like KOR,

 

[indi_n0rd]

@HermesPasser I am trying to find hd print of Maison Ikkaku anime. My 'to-read' list is getting longer and longer lol.

Been meaning to read or watch this for a while. Coloured version sounds interesting and someone has shared a few chapters as the license expired. I could probably find the rest elsewhere I'm guessing.

I looked it up a while back and it turns out the anime and manga are significantly different. From what I've gathered from others said:
Sometimes the anime would take the premise of a manga chapter and do something different, only adapting a few pages before going original.
The anime is more whacky comedy. The manga is more romance.
The anime has more whacky storylines. The manga is more character-focused.
The anime ended with a movie that's well-received. The manga had a completely different ending.
One guy compared it to FullMetal Alchemist (2003) and FMA:B/manga.

So I've been trying to decide which to watch first. I get the impression I'd enjoy the manga more, depending on my current mood. But I'm also worried that maybe I'd enjoy I more overall with anime first, like idk if I'd have enjoyed FMA (2003) as much if I had watched it before Brotherhood.
