I find it sad you aren't a manga reader, you miss out on not only cut content, but also amazing stories that never got the adaptations they deserve :(
Hi! And thanks for your ask, Anon!
I assume that this is in relation to the fact that I usually only post about anime on this blog, or that perhaps there was an anime I posted about where the manga would have had more content?
Granted, I probably do consume more anime than manga, but I also read, and work on, manga when I've got time, albeit mainly from the yaoi and seinen genres. So, while I might not post about it, and I might not read the manga of every show I've watched, I do enjoy reading stories which appeal to my tastes.
Some of the ones I am enjoying / have enjoyed include:
"Rain Man" (Hoshino Yukinobu) ; "Adekan" (Nao Tsukiji) ; "Kizu Darake no Jinsei" (Saruwatari Tetsuya) ; "ZIG" (Nagasaki Takashi; Saruwatari Tetsuya) ; "T-sensei" (Yukue Moegi; T sensei) ; "Setoutsumi" (Konomoto Kazuya) ; "Bouncer" (Mizuta Makoto) ; "Vagabond" (Inoue Takehiko) ; "Hajime no Ippo" (Morikawa Jyoji) ; "Liar Game" (Kaitani Shinobu) ; "Homunculus" (Yamamoto Hideo) ; "Chi no Wadachi" (Oshimi Shuuzou) ; "Sugarless" (Hosokawa Masami) ; "Teiichi no Kuni" (Furuya Usamaru), and many others, including those from some of my favourite mangaka.
This list doesn't include the yaoi titles/mangaka that I've enjoyed, but there have definitely been loads over the years which I would definitely recommend giving a read. It is sad that I don't read as much manga as I would like (there just aren't enough hours in a day), but don't count me out of the manga club just yet.
Thanks for getting in touch and sending through your message - it gave me a nice chance to share some of my faves in the process. And if there are specific manga that you think that people should check out or you think would be amazing as an anime, please do share them, because it's always nice see what others recommend!
