By Supernatural I mean things like Ghosts, Super Heroes, Vampires, Zombies... anything that doesn't actually exist in real life. Supernatural elements can be done well or poorly, depending on whether they're key to the plot, or just drafted in by a lazy writer as a fudge factor. Fantasy settings often include Supernatural elements as well, so I won't usually bother using both tags. If you're in a Fantasy World, just assume that there's going to be the odd Vampire in there somewhere as well. | ||

SaiyukiPut simply, Saiyuki is a typical Action Manga. The four main protagonists could loosely be called “heroes”, and face off against another group of what look like “villains”, until another group betray the first group and become the “real” villains.

Sluggy FreelanceSluggy stars Torg, a goofy young man who is often between jobs, Riff, an inventor whose inventions tend to drive or at least trigger most of the plot-lines, and Bun Bun, a violent, slightly misanthropic, badass anti-hero who just happens to be a small lop rabbit.

Suzunari!Put simply, Suzunari! is one nice long double-act. Suzu is a totally OTT character; Kaede is the “straight man” - um, I mean, “straight woman”. Suzu is kind of an “odd person out” in the Manga; the main humour comes from Suzu’s reactions to everything, and Kaede’s reaction to Suzu’s antics. Posted Tuesday 25th January 2011 by Crazy Choco
