A few weeks ago downloaded the All Mangas Plugin for Google Chrome.

Since then I have read the following manga in their entirety (reading new issues as they come out):
Yu Yu Hakusho
Bleach
Naruto
Detective Conan
Card Captor Sukura
Legend of Zelda Mangas
Death Note
Marchen Awakens Romance

Aside from those mangas, I own the complete collection of the following mangas:
Beet Vandal Buster
Candidate Goddess (which cut off mid series, just like the TV Show)



What manga series do you follow or have completely read?

EDIT: One manga no longer exists, so I changed the plugin name.

An older thread, and one that apparently didn't see much response, but I figured I'd kick in. 

Akira, Trigun, and the original Dragon Ball were enjoyable for me.  The Shaman King anime got me interested in the manga, but either it or I lost momentum.  Not really sure.  I know that it picks up, I just haven't really invested in anything past the third volume or so.

Oooh thanks for reminding me about Shaman King.
Loads up the All Manga Reader plugin and starts reading it.
Apparently they even made a sequel called Shaman King flowers.

I just finished Ranma 1/2. 407 chapters of hilarity.
Zatch Bell was a nice 323 chapter read I finished reading around the same time. The ending was very...epic.
I also finished reading Full Metal Alchemist, Pokemon Adventures, FLCL, Yugioh, MAR Omega, and every Zelda manga.

My list of mangas to read through from start to finish now include:
Shaman King
Trigun
Akira
Chobits
Rave

No problem.  I was introduced to Trigun, Shaman King, and Akira through their anime incarnations, but like most adaptations, there's always more to the story, which is always fun.  I may look into a couple of the ones you reccommended.  Haven't really had anything just jump out and grab me in a while. 

I may look into Death Note sometime soon.  My only introduction has been through the live action movies, which weren't too bad in my opinion.  Granted, the movies don't suffer from the problem that Rodrigo mentioned in one of the anime podcasts.  It was, at the very least, an interesting concept.

I just finished Shaman King (300 issues)...and the ending is almost exactly like Zatch Bell...

I wonder what their publisher was thinking. I predicted it from the minute Yoh first turned an enemy into an ally (way back around issue 20) hoping that the ending would not be the same. ...It was. Just as epic as Zatch Bell...but just as Dues Ex.

Ah My Goddess

Video Girl AI

caught my attention which ones out of these would you recommend?
Shonen:
Ah My Goddess is a long, and still running, 'harem fantasy scifi battle' manga. I recommend this one.
I haven't read the Full Metal Panic, but I watched the show and it is a great long 'sci-fi battle' series.

Shoujo?:
Mysterious Girlfriend X  is a odd romance manga revolving around...this one girls special saliva.
Video Girl AI is a romance where this boy with no luck with girls finds this video store in the middle of a street. When he brings the video home, a girl pops out of the tv. Lots of funny things occur.

I have yet to start on the others you mentioned, but heard things about them.

Right now I am reading History's Strongest Disciple and it is a GREAT Shonen Battle manga!

I've only read:

Castlevania Vol 1 & 2 (all they released)
Return to the Labyrinth
Full Metal Alchemist Vol 1-4

Never really liked manga as much as comics or novels though.
