Wow, another great round!

Hunter X Hunter - In my top ten favorite manga list. Inconsistent as a whole, unfortunately, but nonetheless it shines at it's best in terms of story and character development, and I'd say you'd be hard pressed to find smarter fights than the ones in this in any other manga in the shonen demographic.
Rurouni Kenshin - I've been loving the story so far, but I've only read ten volumes, and while I do like what I've read, right now I wouldn't say I feel stronger about it than Hunter X Hunter.
Hikaru no Go - I've been re-reading it after many years, and am honestly a little underwhelmed at the beginning volumes. Still, I know where things are going, and the journey is still great, but whether I'll consider it a favorite of mine ultimately remains unsure.
Apollo's Song- Tezuka's manga are awesome, but I haven't read this beyond a couple chapters yet, so I have to put it last by default.

Tough round

Hunter x Hunter
Hikaru no Go
Rurouni Kenshin
Appolo's Song - I haven't read that much of this manga.

Rurouni Kenshin (My favorite manga of all-time, so ranking this first is a no-brainer for me)
Hunter X Hunter (Despite it's inconsistencies, it's still a great manga, and far better than anything currently running in WSJ)
Hikaru No Go (A very addicting and entertaining kid's manga)
Apollo's Song (I haven't read that much of it, but I do like what I've read; It's no Black Jack, though)

Rurouni Kenshin - My favorite manga and now I like Kenshin even more.
Hunter X Hunter - I finished Greed Island in the anime early yesterday morning.

Excel Saga - 2nd Favorite Manga. I dare you to find a smarter, well-crafted, and well-cast manga comedy. :e_hail: :h_hail: :el_hail:
Dragonball - 3rd Favorite Manga, and the single most influential work of fiction on my life ever:cyborg:
Great Teacher Onizuka - Onizuka is one of the greatest manga characters ever.  8)
Cromartie High School - Hilarious...but I've only read a few chapters, whereas I've read the full runs of all of the other three mangas (well, not completely with Excel Saga, of course, since the last volume hasn't been released in the States yet).  :sumi_drop:

Dragon Ball (Classic)
Excel Saga (Just started reading volume 3) :thumbup:
Great Teacher Onizuka (It's great, though the last 3rd of the manga dips just a little bit in quality)
Cromartie High School (Pretty amusing from what I read of it)

This was a tough round. I'm sure Cromartie is great, but I haven't read enough of it yet to properly compare it to the other 3 entries, admittedly, but those other 3 entries are some of the best manga I've ever read (even Excel Saga, which I'm still early on in), so it was hard to rank one over the other, but I decided to go with how I felt about them at this given time.
