 | Death Note volume 1 by Tsugumi Ohba
Buy new: £3.89 / Used from: £2.59 Fantastic stuff, but very grim. This manga isn't gory or anything like that, but it's certainly not for kids either.
|
 | Fullmetal Alchemist - Volume 1 by Hiromu Arakawa
Buy new: £4.79 / Used from: £6.57 Two brothers on the quest to find the Philosopher's stone to gain back their missing limbs/bodies. It's an awesome manga.

 | Hellsing: v. 1 (Hellsing): 1 (Hellsing) by Kohta Hirano
Buy used from: £7.31 Vampires and protestants and the vatican all fighting for control of London. This manga gradually gets more violent and there are Nazis in it, if you find them offensive
|
 | Shonen Jump Powerpack: 1 by Akira Toriyama
Buy used from: £45.38 To save me listing them all separately. Despite the critism they get, Shonen Jump manga are very entertaining and require minimum effort to read. Especially One Piece - that's brilliant
|

|
 | Fruits Basket: v. 1 (Fruits Basket (Paperback)) by Natsuki Takaya
Buy new: £3.49 / Used from: £2.16 Hilarious. It features people (mainly bishounen) who turn into cute Chinese zodiac animals when hugged. Well worth the read
|
 | Vampire Hunter D: 1 (Vampire Hunter D): 1 (Vampire Hunter D): 1 (Vampire Hunter D) by Kikuchi Hedeyuki
Buy new: £5.20 / Used from: £1.29 This is a novel, not a manga. This is what inspired the 'Vampire Hunter D' movies. Contains some beautiful sketches by Amano too.
|

|
 | Chrono Crusade: Volume 1 (Chrno Crusade): v. 1 (Chrono Crusade) by Daisuke Moriyama
Buy new: £5.99 / Used from: £2.15 Again, much better than the anime. A demon and a nun work together to fight other demons attacking 1920s America. This manga does gradually become more serious though.
|
