I noticed this was on the main page, but there was no corresponding topic, so I decided to make one. I've yet to find manga I absolutely can't stand, but there are a few that annoyed the hell out of me, so I'd like to warn others before they read them.

FLCL - oh, what a disappointment. The artwork looks like it was drawn by a 5-year-old's left hand, there's no real plot, and everything I loved about the anime was killed by this...

In Wilder, The Beast Doth Lament - pointless oneshot. Really. Pointless.

Zombie Powder- this might have been decent, if it hadn't been canceled before it truly began.

New Vampire Princess Miyu - just don't do it. There's pretty much nothing redeemable about this terrible manga.

One missed call - this is supposed to be horror?

Probably it disapeared after the crash. Good to see you again :)

I only read manga which look like i will enjoy them, so i don't really have many that i dislike.

If any:

Negima!? Neo, it isn't that bad, but whats the point of having one inferior manga with almost the same story as the original?

Shoujo Sect? Ugly art style?

I think you've been reading the wrong manga. Shoujo Sect's art style is pretty damn good.I loved it, personally. Or maybe it was the yuri action that did that for me.
Not worksafe. At all.

Manga to avoid?
Oh, this'll take a while.

Air Gear- Completely ridiculous. It reached a point where the US president actually tells them the world's counting on them to retrieve a pair of f*cking roller skates. And some machine that can link people's dreams. And roller skates that can bring down a helicopter. If that isn't something to avoid, I don't know what is.

Samurai Deeper Kyo - Typical Shounen crap- except worse. Starts off with swords, and gets extremely stupid- The guy can kill by glaring at someone, apparently. And they have fire and ice blasts! and superfast moves! and- Wait... This is sounding familiar.

Chronicles of the Cursed Sword - *insert mangaka's hatred towards his readers*
I read the first volume (because I'd bought it for some reason), and immediately wished I had that thing they use in Men In Black to erase memories. Yes, it really was that bad.
Take every single cliche'd line you've ever heard, every overused joke you've heard, extremely bad characters, an urge for revenge and stick em in a blender til they turn into a sickening grey mush, and you have this manga.

I'll add more later.

No, I was reading that manga. IMO art style is crappy.

You're so right about Air Gear. Almost everything in it is annoying and schizophrenic, From freaky perverted characters to vulgar and not funny jokes. All those explanations of unnatural phenomenons are pathetic. But art is decent. Not always.

Gyo - simply the worst one. absolute crap in all aspects.

I actually liked Air Gear at the beginning, it kept getting worse since they started with that crap about the sky regalia...

Nothing like fake science to make people go "oh, wow, so cool!"

also Hellsing: The Dawn is crap. With story like "we came to kill you, mean nazis because you create fake vampires" such a manga does not deserve such a high rating as 8.15. Also, it is still on hiatus, only 6 chapters were released

I'll second FLCL. It was incredibly hard to follow...as if there was anything to follow in the first place :P.

Also, Girls Saurus was crap. Only read it because I liked Bitter Virgin by the same mangaka.

- Peach Girl - unless you love romance and crap this is completely generic and boring. I can't believe they made an anime out of it.

- Lament of the Lamb - very lame and repetitive with sloppy art

Let me think....Pretear -___- Worst Shoujo manga in history. Everything is really sketchy and even though I don't like the lines to be too defined, that was just too bad. The story line is really overused too, and you can tell what would happen in the end.

Romeo x Juliet is one I think people should avoid. The art isn't really spectacular and it makes a little sense in the beginning. By the end, you'll be extremely confused.

Also, family member were switched around so if you've read Romeo and Juliet once before (who hasn't? almost every school assigns it) reading this manga won't be of any help.

But, however, I've heard that the anime is good.

Samurai 7 - I don't even know why this manga was made. Its boring as hell from the first page to the end. I also feel like the author wrote that it was 'based' on the original story to get attention. Its horrible

Don't recommend me something that is still publishing, unless its close to being finished. Don't recommend me anything that isn't licensed.

It's dark and sad and dark and have i mentioned it's sad? And there's zero dialogue, but hard to follow what's happening, no explanations what's happening why or how. Art is also kinda...well not sloppy, but i didn't like that kind of art style.

personally I really enjoyed SDK, it was the anime version that I thought was complete crap (didn't even bother to add it to my dropped list .__.) Yes its got a lot of battles and different powers and stuff but it"s a shounen xD not really similar plot-wise to Bleach at all. I can understand if you didn't like it tho, it's not everyone's cup of tea ;p

as for me...

Teacher's Pet. OH GOD WHAT WAS I THINKING WHEN I CLICKED ON THIS D: it's only like 4 chaps but after 2 I couldn't take it anymore. I mean seriously WTF. student rapes his teacher to get at his brother (who's the school principle and going out with said-teacher) yet...somehow student and teacher form a love out of this rape. And it was really and truly a rape. Plus the art style didn't sit all too well with me either. A bit too on the cartoony-looking side of things =/. Anyways, it was just all around a really bad attempt at a smutty romance...and no, rape is not romance ;p

I'd like to mention Brain Powered and Project ARMS.
These are probably the worst mangas I have ever come accross. Brain Powered has somewhat decent art, but the story itself makes no sense whatsoever.... I mean, I'm not a mecha fan or anything, but I couldn't even follow the story, and had to struggle through it. As for Project ARMS, it's just crap, at least in my opinion.
