Yes, as you may have noticed, quite a few names repeated. Specially Osamu Tezuka. These are the manga that book I mentioned, gives a rating of 4 out of 5. (He hasn't mentioned 4 or 5, so I'm assuming 5, might be out of 4 for all I know.) I chose only those whose summaries looked like they'd have good story lines.

If anyone read these and found some lame storyline, do mention it to me. I haven't yet got around to DO the finding. Silly Assignments of mine for college. Will be doing so by this month, last week. Or otherwise next month.

Come to think of it... theres quite a number of titles up there I havent read... but they all sound like they would be tough to find... but the ones I have read from up there are definitely all 5 star material...

Review over the above listed with respect to mangatraders.

Obviously, PRESENT means that they have the series and it is "ongoing".
FULL means they have the full manga.
LICENSED means its licensed, so they have only part stuff
DISCONTINUED seems to mean hat the scanslators have given up on the scanslations

Cromartie High School --- Eiji Nanaka (PRESENT)
2001 Nights --- YUkinobu Hoshino (FULL)
Apocalypse Meow --- Motofumi Kabayushi (FULL)
Adolf --- Osamu Tezuka (FULL)
Area 88 --- Kaoru Shintani (PRESENT)
Barefoot Gen --- Keiji Nakawaza (PRESENT)
Devilman --- Go Nagai
The Drifting Classroom --- Kazuo Umezu (DISCONTUNED SCANSLATIONS)
GTO --- Tohru Fujisawa (I think it is DISCONTINUED but they have not mentioned it)
Lone Wolf And Cub --- Kazuo Koike (PRESENT)
The Push Man --- Yoshihiro Tatsumi (I think what I dwnlded was the 'The Push Man' by Osamu Tezuka, will get back to you on that one.)
Sanctuary --- Sho Fumimura, Ryoichi Ikegami (FULL)
Testa Rotho --- Kei Sanbe (FULL)
To Terra --- Keiko Takayami (FULL)
Vagabond --- Takehiko Inoue (PRESENT)
Venus War --- Yoshikazu Yasuhiko (FULL)

I got the stroked ones.
