I'm pretty fond of Hourou Musuko, but it's in a completely different genre.

Jeff Goldblum Fan said:I recommend this manga I just started reading called "Berserk". I don't know where it's going but so far it's a guy with a big sword choppin up demons and crap! It's pretty ownage at the moment, but I have a feeling it's going to get really dragged down with tedious and unnecessary backstory. You guys should all read it!

Dar Klink said:For any fans of gambling anime out there or of just general thriller/suspense I'd highly recommend the Kaiji anime/manga. It's about a man who's basically fucked over by a debt he didn't reall get himself into and now has to take part in some insane high-stakes gambling in order to either get rid of his debt, be forced into back breaking slave labor for two years, or get himself into even more debt. Over the course of the story he gets addicted to crazy ass gambling games hosted by this crazy rich old man out to prove that some people are garbage who would do anything for money. It has a really weird art style that takes some getting used to, is practically devoid of women, and has a lot of over explaining dialogue, but gets really intense at times.
Also if you like Kaiji, you should read or watch another series by the same author called Akagi. It's about a genius mahjong player who nearly takes over Japan's underworld with his almost demonic luck and opponent reading skills.
Aaand one more from the same author is Gambling Emperor Zero which is almost like Akagi and Kaiji combined where a young genius gets into a bunch of strange gambling games hosted by a rich as fuck old man who likes to force people to do what he tells them because of money.
I really like Hunter x Hunter, i've been reading it for many years now. Could you please tell me what you didn't like on the ant arc ? I would like to see your opinion. I enjoyed it quite a lotIncantatioN said:Big Hunter X Hunter fan here, the last finished arc felt drawn-out/ dragged on big-time and it starts off great with a poor end for me. Supa disappointing to say the least but I'm glad it ended at least. The post arc that's being published currently is a good comeback though!
Havent read a single mahjong volume either, but I talked to someone who was a huge Akagi (manga) fan and he didnt understand mahjong either, so I think you should be fine when reading TEN...Dar Klink said:Yeah Legato, I've heard of Gai but haven't go to reading it just yet, I love Kurosawa though, it's my favorite work of his, definitely in my top 5 favorite manga. I still need to read Ten as well, but I still have no idea how to play Maahjong so I'd like to learn it more in-depth before I read more of Ten or Kaiji part 3.
