Absolute worst manga you have read

[G-String_Grandma]

Well like the title says, What is the worst manga you have read?

for me it would have to be the manga "Happy".
It just made me so frusterated and mad at the manga everytime something disapointing would happen. I can see 1 or 2 bad things happening, but everything bad happens to this poor poor girl :-(, it made me cry with anger a few times. i just cannot stand that style of manga.

So anyways *sniff*, what is the worst manga you have seen. *crys with anger*.

[strawhat_luffy]

Well, these 2 mangas my friend recommended to me, one called Suki, its only 3 volumes long or something and I didn't like the plot at all.
Also, this one called (something like) the Demon King Ororon. I hated the artwork; it was freaking horrible.

battle royale...what a ****ty manga...all it is is senseless violence. (and i dont use the term lightly...theres a girl who gets killed and then they rape her body while shes dead...dotn ever read it really its disgusting...)

[G-String_Grandma]

Sadly I have already read like the first volume of it. Although I think I got out before the really disturbing crap happened. As you say there is rapage of dead bodies.... Now my mind is harassing me. ^^'

it's not senseless!!! wait... yes it is...

But the worst manga i ever read was RayEarth Magical Knoghts or something it was ****ing horrbile..

[Babbo]

yeah Battle royal was pretty bad...but they can't compare to the crappiness that is Blame! it porbably has a combined 4 lines of dialouge per VOLUME......

[akuphoenix]

I would have to say Angel Sanctuary....I'm still scared by it I couldn't read past the first chapter.

[teferi]

yeah Battle royal was pretty bad...but they can't compare to the crappiness that is Blame! it porbablt has a combined 4 lines of dialouge per VOLUME......

yup blame! takes it...absolute worse manga ever...its like a bunch of pitctures the guy threw together and then tried to make a story....although my name is zushio is so random and st00pid at times it could easily be one of the worst too...

and angel sanctuary wasnt that bad...u just hjad to ignore the incest and the ppl eating thingys...

[G-String_Grandma]

I really can't believe how long the battle royale manga has gone on for. i think it's up to the 20's or something... Just makes me wonder about some peoples idea's of a good time...^^'

[bamboozler]

I hate naruto. Actually I used to really like naruto, but then i realized how lame naruto the character is. He has got to be the stupidest protagonist ever, he's the most suck *** ninja in the village and only seems to listen to himself. Somehow he learns a super badass ninja skills (Kage Bunshin no Jutsu or crazy energy ball thing), but is still too stupid to use it effectively so he has to pull some **** out of his *** (I guess he uses some technique that makes him so dumb it goes full circle and he becomes smart temporarily) and randomly out smart his opponent to defeat him. If that doesnt work then he just unleashes raw power from the ninetails spirit and kicks everythings *** anyways. I stopped reading after the four year gap.



Another manga I dont like anymore is Devil & Devil. It starts off with a devil (sword) and angel (Ios) fighting each other and falling to earth, but they have to take over human bodies because, for some reason, they cannot live in the mortal world. so they each find a bodies on the verge of death and inhabit them. when they meet each other again they realize the bodies they borrowed were the bodies of two brothers and they must live with each other until they can find a way to return to thier former selves. It was ok manga at first, but i just kept on running into stupid crap. Demons end up comming to earth and try killing sword all the time becuase he gains a powerful weapon (and no one likes him), but for some reason those demons are able to live on earth without having to steal human bodies and they are able to use demon powers (sword cant do ****)...wtf. also the pacing of the manga is totaly random, sometimes it moves pretty good and other times it moves so fast you have to read the whole arc over again to make sure it actually happend. Also everyone in the manga is obsessed with gaining power (like almost every shonen manga) smart fighting is non-existant, well except the human side of sword, he learns this really kick *** skill that has the ability to pwn everyone but he a complete dumbass with no imagination, so its useless, plus you never see that guy so it doesnt matter anyway. The stupidest part of the manga though (and the point of which i stopped reading) was when the only rational and non-magical character in the story, who kinda served as the control for all the spiritual mumbo jumbo, became obsessed with power...once i read that I knew this manga was no longer worth my time. I hate it.

I also stopped reading death note, but i dont hate it. the manga ended for me at the end of the first part. I didnt like the second part of the manga with the two mini L's, they were just stupid. Apperently light was rendered retarded by the introduction of these new mini L's because he seemed like a complete dumbass to me.

those are the only 3 mangas that I've actually stopped reading half way through.


I have to agree with battle royal having a lot of senseless violence, but I thought it had a lot of interesting characters (even though they didnt last long), although, for a randomly picked highschool class they had a lot of screwed up people.
As far as blame goes, I'd have to disagree with everyone. I thought blame was a great manga, because of the lack of dialogue it gave you the feeling of loneliness and largeness, it actually made you feel like you were walking right along side Killy. Although some of the panels were kinda difficult to understand and the ending was soooo vague, I don't think it deserves to be called the worst manga ever.

[Floreyn]

Suki is the most annoying, boring, pointless and bad manga I have ever read.

[Sakuraso]

Thanks a lot bamboozler >.>; You may want to think about spoiler tags, seriously x.X;

To be honest, I haven't read any bad manga XD; I'm always so picky, I always need several hundred recommendations before I even look at one XD;;

...I do have the first volume of Battle Royale however... but I haven't brought myself to reading it yet... ditto for "Dears" - which I mostly got because I was curious XD; And because I'm very sad, 'cause Gackt's fans are called 'dears'... so :P Yes, I'm very sad XD;

Tokyo Mew Mew looks really bad >.> If someone says otherwise I'll take this back :P But it's summary at the back really gives it no advantage >.>
And I probably got the title wrong -.-;

[bamboozler]

Thanks a lot bamboozler >.>; You may want to think about spoiler tags, seriously x.X;


oops, sorry, i thought i was leaving it pretty vague. I was just trying to get the point across that those mangas had boring/stupid story lines and characters and an unoriginal fighting system with the normal shonen style "main character fights boss then gets new more powerful weapon and fights a more powerful boss, repeat process" and focus less on intelligent fighting.

[edit] ****, i forgot about that deathnote :P

lol, you didn't keep the Death Note part particularily vague XD;;; Which is the only bit that I had a problem with XD;;; *only just started reading it 2 or 3 weeks ago* T_T;;;

[erics_19]

I also stopped reading death note, but i dont hate it. when L ...........

:D you almost ruin my great moment in reading death note .... but i've already read the first & the second sentence...huhuhu :o

[Satyr]

The worst manga that i have read was

Threads of Time, i hate that manga!

[+DaNtE+]

Umm, maybe Fruits Basket?

[Zephyr]

Naruto was cool until they pulled Sai out of the dark reaches of their pathetic imaginations...he sucks...i haven't read a bad one yet...but for me Naruto would be the worst I guess

Although some of the panels were kinda difficult to understand and the ending was soooo vague, I don't think it deserves to be called the worst manga ever.actually babbo enjoyed devil and devil, it's one of those typical shounen action adventure mangas that, though not very creative, was still pretty enjoyable; and erm wasn't sword sealed by some kinda device? haven't read it in a while, but babbo does know there was a reason why he had to rely on beating other demons to use his powers >_<

toally agree on battle royale, but still either way BLAME! takes the cake <_<

and for all of you people who try to defend it, befor you say you like the concept of it, how about you explain what the concpet was, and what exactly was so great about it; cause babbo has heard that BS before <_<

[SSJbattousai06]

Yu Yu Hakusho.

Thanks for ruining my favorite anime!

=(


The artwork is horrible, I am glad it got to be a anime.

=D

Scryed manga is also pretty bad.

[Babbo]

Yu Yu Hakusho.

=(

=D

Scryed manga is also pretty bad.yeah babbo never liked that...but then again a lot of the manga from around then was lie that...the villains looked so incredibly horrible it's almst painful >_<

[Shouridaime]

Vaizard. I bought it on an impulse and was sadly disenchanted by what I thought it would be.

[cravenight]

Its strange to see an manga worse than the anime, but that much worse. Wow its surprising.

[lemon_juice]

About Battle Royale, I agree that the story kinda sucks, the violence/sexual stuff disgusted me so badly I skipped most chapters containing Mitsuko, but at least it didn't bore me...I wanted to know how most of the characters would end up (Never saw the movie/read the book) etc. I agree it wasn't a good manga, but it could keep my attention.
Death Note on the other hand bored me so, I stopped reading after chapter 28.
Yet, unlike BR, very much ppl seem to adore it... >__>

[alwzcokeacola]

For me, Love Hina. The plot bored the crap out of me, the Composition of the layout was OK, and the drawings to me (artist) are horrible~ The characters don't have any other facial expressions than a smile type open mouth.

[Rubber Duki]

... Dangit, didn't see this one coming. I've never liked Battle Royale but a majority of my friends love it. In fact, one of them is cosplaying as a character from it this weekend. I am suddenly disturbed...

On the subject though, I tolerate most mangas. Except Initial D. The art scared me. Don't say you weren't disturbed by it o_O

[therani]

I thought I would like Ghost in the Shell more than I did. It was cool-looking, but I found it to be confusing and jargon-heavy, and I got tired of reading about corrupted businesses and politicians.

[Inuhanyou]

I think that Scryed and Elfen Lied were probably one of the worst manga's i have ever read(and probably the only manga's the i didnt enjoy more then the anime conversion)..Elfen Lied even moreso. Although the storyline was almost the same compared to the anime, it splits off after the seventh volume and completely ruins it for me, not gonna spoil it but some people who were supposed to return did not so...yea.

In scryed's case, it was all the way the story-telling played out. Even if the anime scryed was pretty cheesy, it had the action scenes to pull it up to just a little bit more then average. The manga switches many plot elements and doesnt even have a "bad" guy(Mujo doesnt exist in the manga)so it just took away from the series when it ended..plus Kazuma is missing his first alter form :P.

[Capone]

Yu Yu Hakusho...

and Death Note, I don't think Raito is really a fighting type, and I've read up to chapter 12, and all I've see is this little coward using a notebook to kill people. I expected to read some Martial Arts ***-kicking, but so far it's boring me.

[jikennosamurai]

what's with all the YYH hatin? maybe you guys just don't like the style...
I read one volume of Saiyuki because people liked it and I wanted to see what it was about. I think it freaked me out really bad or something. I don't remember whay but I decided not buy another volume ever. This girl I liked did a presentation on Paradise kiss because she really liked it. I picked up a volume and had absolutely no interst in getting a second. probably both are a matter of taste though.

[nice_vibe]

lesse.......

1. Demon Ororon (dumb, horrible art, everyone looked the same, bloody, needless, gross, disturbing, child rape)

2. Princess Ai (dumb, horrible art, sucky plot)

3. Crescent Moon (horrible art and characters)

[FunkMasterKe]

1. Prince of Tennis - Terrible drawing, random plot, makes tennis look like a total joke.
2. 666 Satan - Total Rip off of the original DB.

3. Elfin Lied - Even the excessive violence couldn't make up for this steaming pile.

[the_random_lady]

PhD Fantasy Degree: the story plot totally goes off topic after the first 2 books

Zach Bell: What is it supposed to be about anyways?

[solinari67]

i gotta level here. to be honest, the worst manga i've read has been bleach, but only post soul-society. i think on the whole it's been terribly weak and shows an amateur author at his worst. each week we see a new technique or ridiculous terminology, combined with moments that are nothing better than cheesy. for instance, that hilarious moment when hitsugaya (i believe) says something like...if there are more than 10 arrancar, soul society will be destroyed. moments later we get aizen saying, 'welcome back, say hello to your 20 brothers and sisters.' man, didn't anyone else cringe at that? and then we've got inner-ichigo trying to philosophize about horses and kings, which i thought was absolutely laughable.

all in all, it only serves to show that manga-ka like kaori yuki and even masashi kishimoto are much more talented. say what you will about naruto, but the little hints that the author drops in eventually come to mean something later on. by comparison look at how Rukia had that whole flashback about Dan and his honor thing over the death of his wife. she's never referenced him again, and the whole incident is, regrettably, useless to the story on the whole. .

then you can factor in the way tite has to break down how everyone's powers work, like it was an rpg instruction manual. ikkaku's whole speech on how his bankai works, ishida's dad's specification on a blow 19mm from the heart, the way an arrancar's cellular structure operates, etc. i find myself cringing so much i can't read it anymore.


/end bleach.

the other terrible manga i've read is, indeed, battle royale. i've got nothing to add to what's already been said. violence for the sake of violence, et cetera.

RG Veda is awful, as well. it takes every medieval fantasy cliche you can possibly think of and throws them all together one after the other. then there are moments that are supposed to be emotional, but then you realize that the death of character is terribly insignificant if you've only known them for 10 panels. it's CLAMP's first work, but it really shows how far they've come.

i picked up kami-kaze volume one the other day and it's looking like it might be in the same boat as battle royale, but i can't make a judgment after only one volume. the first volume of a manga tends to be shaky, regardless of the title.


as for the person who said to ignore the incest in angel sanctuary, if you do that, you haven't really read it. besides, more than anything, it's a device to challenge the reader to think "would you go to hell and back to fight for what you believe in?"

[marionette71088]

I don't like RK much, I wouldn't say it's the worst, but after 20+ volumes I still don't get what's so good about it.

[yum yum]

I don't like RK much, I wouldn't say it's the worst, but after 20+ volumes I still don't get what's so good about it.

For me it's vol 19+ that I absolutely adore the series.

[SodiumHypochlorite]

Diabolo was 3 volumes of confusion and frustration that I never want to see.
Elfen Lied was pretty bad.
Naruto's turned to steamy piles lately.
And... Demon Diary wasn't that exciting.

[marionette71088]

For me it's vol 19+ that I absolutely adore the series.
Maybe I didn't hold out long enough, to be honest by the time it got to the last arc I just skimmed.
To some degree I agree with solinari67, Bleach hasn't been very interesting lately. Isshin became interesting, but that's because it's so unexpected(and we haven't heard from him since); so much things could've been done better, such as Ichigo X2 confrontation, the Shinigamis(minus Rukia)' entrence hasn't been reaaly original either(and I still can't forgave Kubo for 224...).
