Hey guys, hope you are all well,
Need a lot of help in deciding what manga to catch up with.
I still make time once every couple of months to read OP/Bleach/Naruto,
but id id like to add another 2 or 3, finish some series and maybe start
one more.
If I list what I am interested in catching up with, could you just let me know how
they are getting on in terms of quality and whether they are finished/ finishing soon/
or never going to end! also a recommendation on what's worth starting?
please bear in mind im like 2-3 years behind! thanks in advance.
Berserk
Vagabond
Deadman wonderland
Bakuman
Fairy tail
HxH
Soul eater
KHR
D gray man
Beelzebub
Aiki
Vinland saga
Mirrai Nikki
Silvery Crow
lucifer and the biscuit hammer

All of those are great choices. I especially love The Lucifer and The Biscuit Hammer. That's a great one. Vagabond and Berserk are also amazing.
Check out One Punch Man! It's a really cool series too

Yeah, Lucifer and biscuit hammer has finished so you can read it all the way through without waiting for the next chapter.
Also, well, it isn't about much more than that! It's kind of an action comedy manga all about a man who defeats everything with one punch. Most of the time. Just check it out and you'll love it

I'd recommend these out of those you listed because they are the ones I've read and am up to date with except Beelzebub which I'm about 4 months behind in.
Bakuman
Fairy Tail
Beelzebub
Cage of Eden
Bakuman and Cage of Eden are both finished now.
if you want something new then just check what I've posted in Neo-Tokyo and Shonen Jump Country as I only post the manga I like and that means its something I recommend.
My primary recommendations would be
Japanese name / English equivalent:
Shingeki no Kyojin / Attack on Titan
Nanatsu no Taizai / Seven Deadly Sins
Toaru Majutsu no Index / A Certain Magical Index
Toaru Kagaku no Railgun / A Certain Scientific Railgun (spin off from index)

One Punch Man has the same author as Eyeshield 21, the only sports manga I've ever enjoyed.
I'm with Morcombe on Attack on Titan. I just finished it and it's incredibly. Easily is one of my top ten manga already.
Of your list I would recommend you finish:
Soul Eater (especially since it's ending soon!)
Deadman Wonderland
Bakuman
Beelzebub
Avoid:
D Gray Man (Sad, but it's gone downhill)

D Gray Man used to be such an amazing manga. After the author got sick and it moved to monthly, it has really gone downhill, which is a shame. After catching up with the other manga, however, I would still read the first few arcs of D Gray Man, up to the end of the Arc Arc.

I'll start one punch man for sure.
Will finish bakuman as that's quite an easy read and I vaguely remember where I was! same with beelzebub. DMW im guessing would take me ages as chapters are long.
thank you all for your replies.

If you read anything ever you should finish Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer and read Vinland Saga. Although I should warn you that later chapters of Vinland Saga get to be incredibly character-driven, with action sequences being only a minor focus.

I read one punch man. It was good, doesn't take itself too seriously which I liked, didn't expect it to blend into a typical shounen though, so am keen to see how it pans out.
Also read 5 chapters of vagabond. on a roll.

Again, I'm tellin' you, Vinland Saga. Especially if it's a more serious/mature type story you're looking for, VS is your only real option as far as I'm aware. (If I'm wrong, I'd be more than happy to find out.) If you haven't read the story in a while, there's definitely gonna be some surprises, that have caused some divisive feelings amongst readers, but in my opinion, none of that should really diminish the exceptional quality of the writing.

I am reading VS again kyubey, just very slowly. I enjoyed the first 20 chapters of Nanatsu no Taizai too. Just waiting for some spare time to get up to to date on each, hard to come by nowadays.
