So my dear friends, I've seen a "Favorite Anime" thread, but nothing about manga anywhere to see.
I'll take this opportunity to create such a thread and encourage people to actually READ COMICS! Yes... you heard me, READ.
I just assume there are people here who like Naruto (hey exe!),
now taking a look at the anime and the manga I'd say the manga is like 100 times better.
READ MORE MANGA! people
If you like anime, chances are good you're gonna enjoy reading some awesome manga.
Right off the bat, I'll start with my two top favorite manga of all time,
imo the best manga in the world.
#2:
The Enchained Spiritual Beast Ga-Rei
(or simply Ga-Rei)
http://gallery1.anivide.com/_full/27968_1252196285.png
A story about a team of special humans in a secret government division operating in tokyo, specialized in locating and exorcising evil spirits.
The main focus lays on the girl named Kagura Tsuchimiya, whos family has been passing down the enchained beast Ga-Rei Byakuei from person to person for generations. A monster which can only be controlled by binding it to a human soul.
The manga contains plenty of romance, action and mild eroticism/nudity.
Some decent gore with people getting stabbed and their limbs torn off occasionally. And again, plenty of heartbreaking romance.
Its frankly the second most dramatic manga I've ever read.
There is an almost never-ending feel of pressure in the story, at least in the second and third arc, but it's in no way hasty. It's just tense.
The Manga consists of 12 volumes or 54 chapters total and is a closed up, wrapped up story. (not some endless crap)
Additionally there is a Anime-Prequel to the Manga which you would like to watch if you want to know the background of some of the characters. It has the exactly same feel as the manga does, a lot of action, romance, drama, erotic and heartbreaking moments, mixing magic with technology. (and Gore too)

My personal favorite of all time is:
Battle Angel Alita and Battle Angel Alita: Last Order
http://www.animebox.eu/wallpapers/d/3525-3/battle+angel+alita+-+009.jpg
The first one was released in 1990-1995 and is the story of a young cyborg girl Alita, who is found by the cyborg-doctor Ido, living in the biggest remaining city on earth "the scrapyard", which is ruled by the endlessly powerful floating city Tiphares right above it, which in turn is home to the Tipharean, a superior human race.
Last Order is still ongoing and alters the final events of the Original to create an entirely new story focused on Alita, her past before her arrival in the scrapyard and the catastrophic past which turned the earth into what it is.
If you love cyberpunk, this is the manga for you. It uses many german terms for things and is backed up by scientific tidbits about different technologies, some made up, some outdated, and some based on actual science. A great dystopian vision of our planets future. Has signs of romance, plenty of drama, great development of all the characters, a f'kton of action including gore and Last Order has almost constant nudity.

(look at this beautiful smooth, shining, absolutely naked hunk of the sexiest metal you've ever seen.)
No girl you've ever seen weights over 2 tons and has an ass like this.
So those are my two favorite manga of all time, I hope I provoked somebodies interest and feel free to post some info about your favorite manga as well.
