With the new rules I'm spared attempting to pick a single page for Ou Dorobou Jing/Jing: King of Bandits. Good.

Wildly imaginative series featuring episodes of a master thief in a strange, fantastical world. I first read it in middle school. Still one of my favorites, and highly underrated. The anime adaptation really didn't manage to capture the whimsy of the manga. It seems the only scans available are actually from the Tokyopop release, so if you can pick that up I'd recommend it. It was hard picking just one sequence.
Speak of the devil... I was just thinking that I should post some Jing stuff. So sad that the author seemed to disappear out of thin air. :(

Jing was really good when I read it. Was the follow up, Twilight Tales any good?
I'm the opposite of MattTheDirector. I remember liking Twilight Tales' stories and artwork more so than the first part/series. Since Twilight Tales was the latter half of the series, the author's artwork had matured a bit, which I preferred. It's been many years since I've read them, though.

Horimiya's a super :3: and funny shoujo series



Actually, I'm not sure if I'd call it shoujo... Just slice of life + romance?

also you should read Annarasumanara. It's Good.
Holy crap. Thanks for suggesting this one. I just went through the first five chapters, and it's a really gorgeous piece of work. The end of episode 4 gave me goosebumps.
