Manga Recs?

[andraste]

Since I am just about finished reading Mushishi and Saiyuki is sadly on indefinite hiatus, I find myself with a bit of a gap in my reading. Sure, I have plenty of Western comics I haven't read yet, but manga hits a different set of buttons. I thought the internet was bound to have ideas for what I should read next.

Things I already have access to: Trigun, Yami no Matsui, Fruits Basket, Cantarella, Nightmare Inspector, Death Note, Nausicaa, Pet Shop of Horrors, Wild Adapter and Eagle.

I am open to pretty much anything, although pure romance is not my genre in any medium. The characters have to be hunting serial killers or saving the world or committing daring robberies between significant glances.

If you can find the two volumes of Library Wars, you'd probably enjoy them. Near-future, rather dystopian Japan, the government has complete control over all media, and can censor whatever it wants. In response to this, libraries and librarians have become militarized, and now defend the rights of citizens to read whatever they want. With weapons.

That sounds awesome. I shall certainly look for it, thank you for the recommendation.

Also, for sci-fi/fantasy adventure awesomeness, Fullmetal Alchemist.

That should really have been on my list already - I've seen the first half of the anime, and a friend has the manga.
