i THINK this goes in the anime section..
uhh..maybe it would help if you told us where you lived so someone can recommend a shop?

whoops i didnt realize that there was an anime section im sorry. i live in northwestern ohio.

This definately needs to be moved to the anime section. I'm sure if you visit your local library you'll find some anime/manga, no?

Anime is the Japanese cartoons, Manga is the Japanese graphic novels. As far as punk/emo anything is concerned, I cannot help you. They do however make J-rock doujinshi (fan manga). Careful when looking for doujinshi though, as you WILL find a lot of porn.

Cyberpunk maybe? Do you like robots? Future stuff? Dirty futuristic world and lots of people with little moral standing?

the cyberpunk seems kinda rad, i like robots. not too big on futuristic stuff, but im willing to try anything... so wait this doujinshi is kinda like hentai?

so what you want hentai?

no.. isnt hentai like anime porn?

yeh it is.. go for classics like "Neon Genesis"

Neon Genesis.. ok ill check it out i guess.

No! hits like Rurouni Kenshin or Fruits Basket are good for beginning manga readers or anime watchers.

does these have like anything to do with the "punk/emo" lifestyle?

lol nooo but ..they're good

fruits baskets has nothing to do with punk/emo/robots. unless you count kyo's attitude, but i don't think that's what he's looking for.

as for robots, their's gundam wing, and all the other gundams that they made.

mm.. punk/emo.. i don't think there are that many, but if want to look for one's with a lot of blood... (not that i like them, i just happen to know a lot.)

umm the XXXHOLiC one looks really cool! i want to see where i can get a copy and whatnot.

lol i know...but i just..idk


for robots...evangelion ..well idk if that counts..but yeah..and gundam is a nice way to introduce robbots and such


*edit*

BRYAN! i bought XXXholic for 9.99! lol

Paradise Kiss...
xD

NANA!

That's kinda punkish. I've only read the epis in shojo beat but i thinkt there's a manga out.

Plus the cow. :]

i bid on a copy of the first XXXHOLiC for like a dollar or 2. hopefully i will win.

way to heart

this is a really good punk/emo comic. try it out!

^ yeah I was about to recommend it.. Its not a official manga or anything but its a webcomic and its very punkish and emo like its about a jrock band


Other than that I don't really know any other ones...

^ lol. Would that be considered emo/punkish? Maybe slightly punkish.. Hmm..

I don't even know what WOULD be considered punk/anime. Although I can name one WITH an emo-like character. Have you ever heard of Perfect Girl Evolution? It has a bunch of bishies (bishounen-pretty/sexy men), where they do sort of resemble women, since they have feminine facial features and stuff. But hey, the main character, that one girl, is very sad and depressing and stuff. You should consider it, but it might not be what you're looking for, lol.

As for evangelion neon genesis, hey that's pretty cool. :] Yea it is a classic, but you have to pay extra attention to the plot. Being new you manga/anime, you might want to start off with something more simple.

I mean, like, what would be the point of having an emo/punkish manga? It's gotta have a plot, often involving either love/relationships, mecha stuff, or trying to be the best in something (Naruto, Pokemon, etc.) or accomplish something. Maybe a combinatoin of all of those themes in some mangas.

I used to think Peach Girl: Change of Heart was emo/punkish.. I was wrong lol. :P

Ooh and that Way to the Heart manga looks pretty cool! I read vol. 1 and 2. I would still kinda consider it shoujo Since it revolves around a "plain jane" and "geeky" type of girl with bishies and involves love and could-be-real-life emotions/experiences.

o isn't beck kinda punkish? especially since the dude plays the guitar

You could always try Princess ai. It's kind of punkish.
If you liked perverted manga/anime-
Love Hina
Battle vixens
Chobits
GTO
Ah! My goddess
and there is more but I can not think of any at this moment.

Gravitation! <-- it's about a band.. oh.. uh.. wait.. gah.. no, it's YAOI.. ehe.. ehe...ehehe..

IGNORE THE TOP

yeah, probably Gundam, fullmetal alchemist, rurouni kenshin... it's not punk though, but it's quite close... oh and don't forget, GENSOUMADEN SAIYUKI!

The books are called manga ^^'

My reccomendations for emo/punk manga are mebbe Angel Sanctuary, Princess Ai (never read, but the cover looked emo/punk), Nana, and err, well I dont really read alot of emo/punk manga so i dunno.

Shinji and Rei from Evangellion are pretty emo...
