As weird as it may sound, I don't quite like anime but at the same time I like mangas...
As for my faves:
-
Kozure ôkami (Kazuo Koike - Goseki Kojima) [a.k.a.
Lone wolf & Cub]
-
Hoero pen (Kazuhiko Shimamoto)
-
Kimi wa pet (Yayoi Ogawa)
-
Rupan sensei (Monkey Punch) [a.k.a.
Lupin the 3rd - btw, here's a good example of what I was saying: imho this manga is a BILLION times better than the anime made after it...]
-
Crying Freeman (Kazuo Koike - Ryoichi Ikegami) [first manga I read, many years ago...I'd also suggest
Sanctuary, again by Ikegami, though with dialogues by Sho Fumimura]
-
Nisenichiya monogatari (Yukinobu Hoshino) [a.k.a.
2001 nights]
And I'm also a big fan of Tsukasa Hojo (
Cat's eye, City Hunter, Family compo), Naoki Urasawa (
Monster, 20th Century boys), Jiro Taniguchi (
Chichi no koyomi, Aruko hito), Minetaro Mochizuki (
Dragon Head, Zashiki onna), Tsutomu Takahashi (
Sky high, Jiraishin)...and many more!
Too bad italian publishers don't import many seinen/lady, but mostly shônen/shôjo...
(I'm way too old to appreciate most of those...
)
