A Manga that Inspired you
A manga that inspired me to never loose hope, to value and cherish family/friends, and to help others no matter what you are going through is 07 Ghost. I liked that there was a religious factor (although not mine and inspired by German folklore) that taught faith, hope, compassion, grieving, and that you are never really ever alone.

I can go on, I read manga like people eat pizza (at least once a week if not more and very happily). Slam Dunk, the classic basketball manga about a delinquent who redeems himself through helping the team, is another that comes to mind. More recently Koe no Kitachi just left me astounded by how wonderfully a story could truly be told. It's about a young man who bullied a hearing impaired student and seeks her forgiveness before he attempts to end his own life. It's powerful and shows both the ugliness and the beauty of humanity.

As for a specific manga that's inspired me, I would have to say "The Liar Games" is a good one. The main female protagonist, I think her name is Naoto (it's been a while) shows humanity in a way that I consider stupid - she always sees the light in people, even if they have continuously betrayed her. I think that this is extremely admirable and she is the prime example of someone who believes that everyone can change.

Tokyo Ghoul is very inspiring and it's also poetic. The main character happens to be an avid book reader just like us. His character is one I can relate too and his struggles, triumphs and growing acceptance of himself is inspirational as well.

Other than that, I am also be motivated by One Piece for the spirit "Never give up", Doraemon for the creativity, and One Punch Man for the humor

I don't know very much about manga, but Monster and Koe no Kitachi both sound really interesting! I'll definitely be checking both of them out. Thanks for the recommendation!Sparkletime wrote:Oddly, Monster by Naoki Urasawa definitely inspired me. The story is so haunting and yet I felt drawn to it. It forces the reader to think about things like destiny and assumed roles as well as personal responsibility for society at large. Are you responsible for all the lives lost if you save a serial killer? That question drives the human aspect to this manga. It's complete and definitely worth the read.

Inuyasha was one of the first mangas I started reading. It inspired me to keep trying even when it seemed hopeless.
Naruto gave me hope that things would get better if I worked hard to change how things in my life were going. It showed me that even the smallest of things can have a profound impact.
