I would vote more but I think most of what I would vote for is already included.

You know, we could just have a smaller competition if people are too strained to think of more manga titles to nominate. I could certainly nominate a few more manga, myself, but it'd mainly just be shonen stuff, and stuff that I like but hardly love, at that.

I think it'd be more effective to have a smaller competition packed with more quality titles, rather than one that has more nominations but with a lot of them just serving as obvious filler to make the competition feel bigger.

That's merely just a suggestion on my part, of course. If we do keep the competition small, though, then it'd be perfectly fine to follow through with Foggle's suggestion as well of making each round last longer so that people who haven't read some of this manga series could check out a volume or 2 before the end of any given match in order to give fair rankings of all of the series involved in that match.

Bakuman
Hikaru No Go
Yu Yu Hakusho

I had actually nominated these 3 before editing my post to suggest closing the nominations early in favor of a smaller competition. :P

At any rate, if we're still going, then....

Flame of Recca
Black Lagoon
Great Teacher Onizuka

Spark Of Spirit

I had a feeling, but since we need more noms I figured why not.

Beck
Fruits Basket
MxO

There are a few more.

Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind
Blade of the Immortal
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Part 7: Steelball Run

Of course, it's not absolutely necessary to have 64 titles. Tell you what, I'll leave the list open until tomorrow and the number of nominations that's on it by then will be in the tournament. Sixty-four will be the maximum number, however.

Edit: Forgot that I had three votes left and since Spark of Spirit already nominated Akira, I decided to go for my favorite installment of the Joestar Family Saga.
