    One Piece>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    Have you read HxH?

    and maybe I should have left One Piece out of the title, it;s not right to associate OP with the likes of Naruto and Bleach.

    Probably too late but.

    The manga starts off like the typical shounen manga, boy sets off on some goal. (well, bleach didn't start off like this, lol)


    In this case Gon sets off to find his father, who his never seen before, all he knows is that his father is a Hunter, so at the age of 12 he sets off to go and enter the Hunter exam, He figures that if he becomes a Hunter as well, that would put him one step closer to finding his father.

    Hunter's are people with amazing abilities, and there jobs vary.

    Jobs include

    Hunting rare objects

    Capturing dangerous criminals

    and eliminating creatures that are a threat to the Human race, among several other things.


    Just read through the Hunter exam arc if you want to give it a try.

    Depends on how many of your top 10 are in the Shounen category, there are tons of manga/anime I prefer over Naruto and Bleach as well.

    Though, One Piece is in my top 5.

    Sidenote: The author of Yu Yu Hakusho, is also the author of Hunter X Hunter.

    Anybody watch Fairy Tale? That's a good anime too. It basically does everything that Naruto tries to do, but it actually does it all well.

    I read Berserk, and I would put HxH over berserk. That's not something I would argue though, just a personal preference. I usually rate seinnen and shounen mangas separately, even though HxH is a borderline seinnen.

    I don't ? with shonen anymore to be honest, ? is rife with moe, and stupid typical anime tropes. I'm very particular on what anime/mangas I get into and for that reason I don't ? with much of this media anymore. That isn't to say I won't give a shonen a try If it seems particularly interesting, But I'll take a good seinen over 'good' shonen any day. I hear a lot of good things about one piece for example, but at the end of the day it's competing with naruto and bleach which are ? imo. Doesn't help that the art style looks so wacky for me to even give it a shot.

    Not trying to knock you, but I don't think either of those are any good. But then again I haven't read bleach in about 6 years...but I couldn't see myself going back. There is better stuff out there.

    You might like HxH, it's not your typical shonen, and the it's very dark. Was being honest when I said it's borderline seinen, pretty much just as violent as your average seinen, only thing it is lacking is ? .

    If you give it a try make sure to read the manga, because they watered down and edited the anime.

    Bleach is one of the worst mainstream mangas out right now, second only to Air Gear.

    HxH just gets realer and realer.

    Thing about HxH is the author is not afraid to ? people off. There is no "I've been seriously injured, but somehow I survived, but bad guys he get injuries that aren't as bad somehow die" (Bleach) and there is no "It was Genjutsu!" also, there is no "I'll just the last of m ypower to suddenly bring everyone back to life." (Naruto)

    In HxH, major characters (who are good guys) die all the time, and it's usually brutal.

    Most recently a ? was just decapitated.

    Oh, and there was another main character who had his arm cut off, and then was decapitated as well. Then his killer sewed his body back up and turned him into a doll.

    Another character was hacked into pieces, turned into a ball of meat, and then eaten.

    ^ and these were all semi important characters to the story.

    The new anime remake is on episode 10, but it's a bit censored compared to the almost berserk level violence in the manga.
