What is this post even..?
.... of all the one shot's I've ever read, the only one that I remember in a favourable fashion, that wasn't pornographic in nature, was Spoiler wars?
seemed pretty obvious
Don't mind me, I'm just emulating a lurker.

Interesting story and nice art so far. Although, is this manga considered yaoi? Cause, well, the guy is a girl but the brother and the Prince like him as a dude but now he or she is a girl now and...ugh screw it, too confusing, gonna keep reading.

I am giving it time. I stopped at the The Beggining of The End.
I dropped it a while ago when releases got sporadic. I'm planning on going back once it's finished up.
I haven't read the current chapter but the arc has been dragging quite a bit. I also wish it would just focus on one thing at a time, I hate how it keeps swapping between the girls and the Major.

Removed but the final chapters of Punpun have been translated.

Uh, you might want to remove that. No links to scans or scan sites.
hi, i have been absent in the manga stuff for years because i cant read shit like bleach or naruto anymore.
stopped it years ago and i got into manga again when a friend who is a doctor, showed my a manga(!!!) a client suggested to him.
its called homonculus is absolutely awesome. its about a rich cocky medicine student who performs trepanation on a homeless person to see if its true that you will gain a sixth sense through this operation. give it a try, its a typical seinen-manga and just blew my mind.
also shamo is pretty good one.
iam in search for something similiar. i dont care about scanlations as well as manga which are available in stores. as long as the stories are as deep as these.
hope you can suggest me something awesome as these.

It depends. Get Vagabond, Ran and The Gray World, Otoyomegatari, Planetes. Those four will blow your mind. There are more but I think some of us will chime in about their favorites.
Also 7 Seeds, but the art is not for everyone. The story is just fantastic though.

Kiseijuu, Nijigahara Holograph, and Monster.
Someone had to tell him that they are called Akatsuki and not Akatsi, also he fucked up almost every pronunciation of the japanese words.

Rosario Vampire - Volume 1-8.
I really don't like any of the characters, the writing, the pacing or the monster design. My main complaint is the pacing, everything just keeps starting, building up and up for a few chapters, setting things up to be the biggest deal, then they just end after a couple chapters. There feels like no through line or semblance of a story. Does it change or get better? I also found the slight alterations to Tsukune's design to be kind of annoying, it goes against his original pitch as looking like the most generic anime guy possible, by making him into your typical shonen ai boy.
Bleach 549.
Really enjoying the Holy War arc. I've been sort of a lapsed Bleach fan since the end of the Rukia rescue arc, since everything was just so base and generic shonen, but this arc has actually managed to be pretty entertaining. Sure, a ton of stuff feels like huge ass pulls,
But I actually really liked all those little twists, even if they came completely out of nowhere.

Unohana being Zaraki, Ichigo's mom being a Quincy and Zangetsu being the soul of the big bad.
How far did you get so far?
first of all, thanks for all of your suggestions.
going to the bookstore tomorrow to check out, which are available. if not, going to check ebay for reasonable prices or download them whereever they are available.
i read shamo back then until volume 10.. love the entry how fucked up this is... and how awesome the author caught the moment of loneliness and "dont trust anyone" in this manga.
oh and monster... i watched the show, when it was released. pretty fucked up shit. loved the story and the setting.

Its a fairly interesting series so far. The focus on hacking and the threat of the virus are some unique aspects. The art looks more mature which is nice. That said it has its share of bad elements. For 1, it seems every main character has plot armor with very few characters actually dying. There was only one character that actually had importance to the plot that died despite there having been several instances where characters should have died. The main character somehow always gets a win despite the incredible odds against him just by waving his hacker abilities. The few times he lost, he still gets away with meager losses.

Nope, the nightmares will still continue.
Pretty interesting set up now. There's still no real clear plot to speak of but everything still has been pretty funny to read.

That face is probably one of the greatest reaction shots I've seen in manga recently.
That was some amazing face. I guess all the evil came out at once, after being bottled up all this time.
Because I know you guys are soooo interested, stuff announced/reconfirmed today for publishing in Italy.

I wanna be jelly, but I don't recognize half the titles so whatever.

The wrath of the flat chested.
We have something like 100-150 releases each month (guesstimating from what I buy and what I don't buy, it could be more). As such some titles have to wait before they get a chance to be published, or even get a chance to be considered for publishing. For example, Crazy For You has been announced 6/8 months ago, maybe longer, but only now it got a definite date (May 2014) over here.
I also received the bad news that Princess Resurrection bombed so hard in Italy that it's close to cancellation (it's been years since the last volume released here). The publisher still hasn't given up, but the series can't even reach 6k copies sold per volume, which is the min they say they can do for a volume. Sadness.
Edit:
Also put together covers for anyone that might be curious to give it a look instead of simply looking at a bunch of titles: http://imgur.com/a/LvWMs#0
