Dr. Ensatsu-ken

I read a bit of Ichi the Killer and its pretty good. I should read more of it when I get the chance. Its probably a "better" series than the shonen stuff on here on the whole. That said, I should also mention that I'm extremely biased, so my ranking is:

Dragon Ball
Hunter X Hunter
Ichi the Killer
Flame of Recca

I should also mention that I think Recca is a good manga, but it was up against tougher competition this round. Overall, though, this was another great round with some really tough picks (at least for me), being that it featured 2 classic shonen and possibly one of the only few good contemporary shonen series out there. And of course it also features a highly renowned seinen manga, so of course that adds some stiff competition as well.

There doesn't seem to be much interest in this match. Still, I'm afraid I require at least one more vote before I can wrap things up. I'll leave it open for now.

I can't say I feel strongly about any of these series, especially because I've barely read more than a few chapters of two of them, but I'll help.

Great Teacher Onizuka
Ode to Kirihito
