Ok..
Based on the manga titles you read often, what is your favorite theme? By topic I mean, say, you like both Ranma 1/2 and...Futaba-kun Change. The theme you favor would be gender-bending. (Sorry, I can't get this out right...if someone has a better word for me to replace "topic" with, it will sound better.) For me, although I just barely realized it, the favorite theme is something along the lines of ronin and samurai. For example, Vagabond and Blade of the Immortal. There's just a certain element in them that I really like, possibly that the protagonist is (usually) invincible, or maybe that they kill a lot of people. But for sure, this is the one type of manga I would buy ALWAYS. And please, try to make it as specific as possible. No genres, please.

I believe the term you're looking for is either "theme" or "cliché", or possibly "stereotype".

Wow, I first thought this was going to be which topic from the forum we like more, hehe ^^
Anyways. I use to like stories with magic, fantasy, and...hum...why not? A bit of love never is bad, huh? I can't say I would buy them ALWAYS, but most titles I have read have been (for me) really interesting, and I'm managing to know if there's any way to read some mangas of this style, such as Suikoden III. Why? Those arguments entertain me, and I'm expecting from most mangas to entertain myself while I read them... |

I guess what I like most is Reality. But that doesnt mean I hate fantasy (on the contrary
 i am big fantasy geek  ). But I like every story to have a sense of reality to it.
For example - if the main character is a medium level fighter I dont want to see him kicking the crap out of the main villain. I also like it if the characters act accordingly to their nature and have alot character development.I guess thats it. |

Alright. I've changed it. There's a lot of repetition, but theme is the word I was looking for.
I left the stuff alone so people wouldn't get confused. |

It's somewhat trite, but I'm enthralled by the theme of "fallen angels," or various takes on it.
(Incidentally, this is my first post in this forum. Should I celebrate? Or introduce myself? Or shut up?) |

You should definitely introduce yourself! (There is a thread for introductions in this forum but, I'm sorry, I don't know how to link to it.  ) Anyways, welcome!
I personally gravitate towards romance in general, but more specifically I like slice- of- life/ first love type stories where the characters are fairly ordinary, meaning no magical powers or anything like that, and most of what goes on is everyday stuff. Stories where characters can't (insert magical incantation, individual fight technique name, etc. here) their way out of a pinch. I almost always try out series like that. |

I fall easily for the "girl gets sucked into another world" themed story lines. Fushigi Yugi, Red River, and Far From Away are a couple of my favorites. Basara falls into this category even though the girl already lives in the other world. Oh, and Desert Coral too but that time the guy gets sucked into the other world.
