Top 11 Manga with Hot Womenz!~

If art can be ugly, then it can also be beautiful.

And if art can be beautiful, then it sure as hell can be hot.

Now of course I appreciate real women more then simple drawings, but to be quite frank, there are some absurdly hot chicks in manga. There’s a certain knack to honing the skill of drawing the female body, and I’m here to pay respect to that. The following is a list out of what I perceive as the top 11 manga with hot girls / women in them. Just remember, this is my opinion, and I’m sure that there are series out there I may have left out that you would have put in. You know, shit like Ikkitousen or Battle Club, but I had to limit the amount of ‘guilty pleasures’ this list had so I could keep my morality in check (or something like that). Remember, this isn’t just a list of ‘hotness’, there’s quality amongst the ‘hot’ the higher up you go in the list, so it’s not all just superficial. Perhaps in the future the list will be added onto. The title image is from Freezing by the way, which merely receives an honorary mention. Just cause. Be sure to click the images this time, they’ll lead back to the original.

11. Sekirei

Ah, this is one of those shows. You know the one I’m talking about. Horrendously pathetic guy whose luck has run out, no direction in life, can’t get into a college or got kicked out or whatever derivative excuse you can come up with to attempt to either feel sorry for him (or relate to him even, this is Japan we’re talking about) suddenly has a wondrous member of the opposite sex just fall into his lap. Literally. He’s just walking and sulking and bam, chick falls from the sky. Fantastic. Who is this chick? Who cares? Ok, maybe someone does. Said falling chick would be Musubi. She’s a “Sekirei”, and the guy she’s fallen on top of is her “Ashikabi”. I could go into much greater detail about what those two terms actually mean, but to be frank it’s basically putting ‘aliens’ in place of Pokemon. Aliens that are gifted with an hour glass figure and breasts that will leave them hunched over like Quasimodo eventually. Schmuck for brains (I don’t care for his name either) being an “Ashikabi” (see, if the title has the name Ash in it, so Pokemon, jerks) gives Musubi the power to battle other Sekirei. This means there are other Sekirei to fight, and that he himself can get more alien chicks into his freaking entourage or whatever harem deal they’ve got going.

Why is it number 11? The story is shit. It’s immediately forgettable, just there to thinly hold up the rhyme and the reason of having more and more hot alien chicks kicking each other’s ass with clothing falling off as quickly as your IQ will be falling the longer you read it. The action is sub par too. The outfits the “Sekirei” are stupider then they are hot, a few of them look like they were made out of the snowflake patterns you’d make in elementary school with construction paper (just not as colorful). I stopped it reading it after a certain point, but hell, the art’s not bad, and most of the girls have this thing with their hair that’s kinda cute. Maybe. Still sucks.

Whatever. Hot aliens.

10. Air Gear

Manga can make most anything we find normal and turn it upside down and shoot it down a rollercoaster. Take what Air Gear does with a simple thing like roller skates. Just put some wheels on the bottom of a shoe and you’ve got some roller skates. Straighten them out and you’ve got in-line skates. Nothing special. In the world of Air Gear however, they go a step further. Why not throw a freaking motor on those bad boys and turn those wheels into actual tires? Now you’ve got Air Treks. This is where we get our story. Ikki (otherwise known as Babyface) is shacking together with four sisters (go figure) leading the life of a typical high schooler. He’s the leader of a bunch of misfits who generally go around just beating the snot out of whoever they please. One night he stumbles onto the secret life of the sisters’ he’s been living with. They’re a legendary Air Trek gang / group / troupe / whatever known as Sleeping Forrest. They invite him to the world of Air Treks, where he samples what he believes is the closest you can truly get to flying, and from that point on he just doesn’t want to stop.

Sounds pretty cool, right? Well that’s how we get off the ground. Three hot chicks hanging out with Ikki, crazy awesome gravity defying stunts with Air Treks, a bit of pride with the likes of battles between gangs, and even throw in a mystery chick for good measure. Add in the fact that Oh! Great’s art is really fucking gorgeous and you get a pretty nice package. Until the story just takes a nosedive.

Why is it number 10? The story. It starts out simple enough. Ikki finds out about Air Treks and he starts wrecking shop once he figures them out. He starts to have alot of fun and adventure, and in turn the manga is just as fun and adventurous. Unfortunately this is Oh! Great we’re talking about, and humble beginnings lead to something else entirely later on. At a point that I can’t even recall now, the story shifts from the joy and pleasure of using Air Treks to this convoluted tale involving people trapped in a damn tower and an underground society full of specialy fancy pants who can take over the world and all this other shit that just ruins the story. The cast grows much larger and the original enjoyment you might have signed on for just disappears in the middle of all this mind fuckery and beautiful art.

I’d still hit that teacher though. Totally.

9. Tenjo Tenge

Tenjou Tenge (which I affectionately refer to as Tangy Tangy) is what happens when you decide to inject some actual philosophy and soul into the sometimes brainless ‘fighting’ subgenre of action in anime. It starts out typically enough; Nagi and Bob, two high school delinquents make their way to Toudou Academy. Their intentions are little more then to beat the stuffing out of anyone who decides to get in their way as to the aim to take over the whole school. They seem to be doing a good job until they realize Toudou Academy isn’t like the rest of the schools they had dominated in the past. Toudou was actually founded to help teach and integrate different styles of fighting. Soon the two find themselves joining a club opposing the school’s Executive Council, more or less a group of students who in charge of the school.

Now when the story started out here it was fine. The fighting was great, very visceral and very brutal at times. The humor was also a welcome addition to everything, there’s some really hilarious moments. And of course, the gals are freaking hot. Sure, they’ve got these impossible big breasted figures with legs that just never end, but it never becomes too overbearing as the series is actually mature enough to work with (sex is part of the story too). I have a personal fondness for Emi, the gal in the header image. The problem here is the same thing that happened with Air Gear. Oh! Great injects these bouts of philosophy at certain points that will either drive you mad or have you happy to appreciate the characters not being lifeless cardboard cutouts. He piles it on real thick, leaving the character in question to wallow in Oh! Great’s fantastic artistic landscapes, but leaving you wondering when the hell they’re going to kick some ass.

Why is it number 9? Unlike Air Gear the story is much more tolerable, but that isn’t saying much. The fanservice is much more readily offered though. The flashbacks are thrown in just as heavily as the pandering to character’s questioning their reasoning to fight and the inner workings of the story. The story in particular goes far, far beyond the simple high school deal they throw at you in the beginning, so it’s really up to you if you can attempt to keep up with all the symbolism and philosophy to stick around with the gorgeous art and hot gals.

Even if Maya’s got that cockroach thing going with her ahoge.

8. History’s Strongest Disciple Kenichi

Talk about a mouthful. I’m talking about the title of course. Ahem. History’s Strongest Disciple Kenichi (which I’m going to call HSDK from this point just to keep the likes of carpal tunnel away for a few more seconds) is the story of how Kenichi is leading the standard life of a high school freshman when he bumps into Miu, a classmate of his. The two become friends, share a lunch together, that type of thing. On the way home from school Kenichi finds Miu surrounded by a group of gangsters. The thugs are talking shit left and right but Miu isn’t having any of it. Kenichi on the other hand is cowering around the next corner. He’s about to run away when he realizes that he would like to protect Miu, even if it ends up being the stupidest or most dangerous thing he’s ever done in his life. He dashes out from the corner, runs at the gangsters with the intention to save Miu only to trip and roll forward, bumping right into one of the thugs and giving him a little bruise right on the nose. This angers him, leading Kenichi to think this guy’s face of fury is the last thing he’ll see before he dies, but out of nowhere Miu jumps atop the head of one of the thugs, breaks the fingers of another, and kicks the thanksgiving leftovers out of the one infront of Kenichi. Moments later the gang is unconscious on the floor, leaving Kenichi shocked (but in awe) and Miu in appreciation of Kenichi coming back to save her. Kenichi soon finds out that Miu is clearly no ordinary gal, and eagerly learns some basic martial arts from her. One dumb bully fight later Kenichi is in the middle of a buzz that has all the big name fighters of the school coming after him in curiousity of his skills. This leads Kenichi to further his martial arts by moving in with Miu, who lives with six individuals who are masters at their own respective art. The fights get bigger, crazier, more unbelievable, but through it all Kenichi sticks to his guns about gaining more strength to protect those he cares about.

Well isn’t he just special? Someone give him a gold star to put on the refrigerator. Kenichi’s as pure hearted as they come, but the thing about him and HSDK is well, that he sucks. He isn’t born with some innate talent or freakish trait that is a borderline superhuman power, the kid just keeps trying harder and harder and the fruits of his labor often pay off. Even at this point in the story he will still run the hell away from those training him out in fear of what nightmarish regime they have cooked up for him next. Anyways, the ladies in this are everywhere. The good girls. The bad girls. The bad girls who become good girls. All of them. Shigure (the master of weaponary and of one of the residents at Kenichi’s dojo) in particular is my favorite. Her face is always shown with a cold stare but her actions say otherwise, and she’s the sexiest weapon master I’ve seen, I’ll say that much.

Why is it number 8? HSDK is fun, alot of fun. That’s how it’s meant to be taken in. Sure the fights get bat shit crazy sometimes, and the things some of the characters are doing push your sense of disbelief realllllllllllllly thin, but it knows that and works with it. The whole ‘I was your enemy but now I’m fighting with you deal’ is ok too, but he practically recruits the entire legion of people he was fighting with in the first big arc the story has. Lastly, as much I love Shigure (she’s too damn hot and funny) the girls in this manga all look the same as one another. They’ve all got these huge breasts, wide hips, and just enough roundness on that rump, but that’s the problem. If you’ve got a whole cornicopia of food but all the food is the same, you tend to tire of it. Sure, that’s being superficial, but hey characters like Kisara show there’s more to females in HSDK the being molded out of Miu.

I always wondered how Shigure’s eyebrows got that way though.

7. Maken-Ki

It’s almost porn! Ok not really. This is going to be a short one. Takeru is a typical perverted teenager. He’s attending his first day of high school when he bumps into two women. One is an old childhood friend of his he hasn’t seen in three years. The other is simply out to kill him. As the day wears on he finds out that the school itself is populated with people who can use a type of magical power with an item or weapon called a Maken. Takeru finds that there is no suitable Maken for him, leaving him up in arms about what to do as ‘duels’ take place regularly that use Maken to showcase their power and ability, and he just doesn’t have one. So now he’s got to deal with a childhood friend who says she’s his fiancee, another chick who just wants him dead, and literally being powerless. Great.

Woopy. X-Men with high school chicks and items and stuff. That’s about the jist of it. I wish I could tell you there’s more to get out of this, but outside of the art, it’s nothing special. If you haven’t figured it out yet, this is drawn by Takeda Hiromitsu, who basically draws some of the hottest damn hentai out there. I just love his art style, even if a handful of chicks are sporting breasts that look like gigantic water balloons.  He does manage to actually create variety with his ladies, which I would wager is a given for someone in his field.

Why is it number 7? It’s Takeda freaking Hiromitsu. The story is passable, but it’s just the art. It’s not necessarily ‘pretty’ in the vein of Oh! Great’s work, it’s just hot. Seriously. They could be talking about the economic status of Russia for all I care, it would still be on this list.

Oh and the nurse. She’s going to need a forklift later in life.

6. Change 123

Hooray for schizophrenia! Our story opens up to Kosukegawa, a short, meek teen sitting in front of a vending machine for toys, constantly putting in more money and turning the knob in hopes of getting the figure he’s looking for. After several failed attempts he decides to give up and starts walking away when he finds Motoko (a classmate) in trouble in a nearby alley (it’s a staple, deal with it). Realizing he’s outmatched he decides to run away until the image of Kamen Rider (his personal hero) tells him to get his back there to help the classmate. Ready to call 911, he runs back, only to find the classmate literally booting the assailant onto a nearby car, knocking him unconscious. Surprised at her strength he begins to lavish her with praise, but this prompts her to plead with him to not let anyone know of what happened. He replies that he has no problem keeping it secret, and the two form a friendship from this chance encounter. Things seem normal until a beach date where Kosukegawa finds that Motoko is hiding a much wilder secret, her schizophrenia. Apparently as a child her mother had passed away, leaving her in the care of three adoptive fathers. These guys weren’t your normal bunch however, all three were masters in their own rights. At an early age Motoko is subjected to the strict, rigorous training of the masters, to the point where she gains schizophrenia from it. It isn’t simply a change of personality either, her actions and physical appearance change with it, each with their own names; Hibiki is a tomboy skillful in karate, Fujiko has a calm demeanor and the skill to wield any weapon expertly, and Mikiri is the playful soul with their uncanny knack for submission holds and the like. Collectively they’re known as Hifumi. Kosukegawa finds himself falling for Motoko (and each of her personalties respectively) but wishes to help her find a way to eventually subdue them, all the while accompanying her to any challengers that may face her along the way.

Sounds like alot, but it’s not. The fact that the main chick has three split personalties can actual alter her personal appearance is sort of hard to accept too, but you either roll with it or you don’t. If you do, you’ll find that Change 123 is one hell of a ride. The three personalities are distinct yet fun, and develop pretty well. The cast grows larger too, the action / fights are always great, and the art just works perfectly to portray it all. On top of which, each of personalities have attractive traits to them, so you’re bound to like one of them, and there’s more then enough fanservice to keep you grinning regardless of who you happen to like.

Why is it number 6? That’s hard to explain. I love all the personalities, I love the fights, I love the fanservice, but I don’t like Kosukegawa. I don’t hate him, but amongst all the crazy stuff going on this little kid whose full of bravery inspired by Kamen Rider just never clicked with me. The notion that FOUR separate personalities stemming from one person also happen to fall for him is something I can’t entirely wrap my head around either, but everything else pretty much makes up for it.

Not as much as seeing Fujiko in an apron though. Just an apron.

5.Good Ending

Behold one of only the two series in this list that are by our human standards is normal! No special power ups, no fighting, just some good old lovey dovey. It starts with Utsumi, a normal teenage guy who has a thing for Shou, one of the girls in his school’s tennis club. Being a typical guy and all, he likes to hide in the bushes or other hidden locations in hopes of catching a glimpse of her as she’s playing (I would have chosen a nearby tree, adds that ninja flair). So as he’s watching her one day he gets caught by another member of the tennis club, Yuki. She quickly comes to the conclusion that he has feelings for the girl he’s been watching, so she decides to help him out in getting his feeling across and all that good stuff.

That’s as much as I’m going to tell you. There’s much, much more to Good Ending then that little snippet, but that’s precisely why I’m not going to ruin it. Let’s just say that Good Ending actually manages to not be the standard romantic shit that tends to infest the genre in manga / anime. You know the type, where the guy is horrendously oblivious to everything, is a complete loser, but still has like fifty chicks gunning for him. No, GE actually develops quite nicely, its pace is natural, and the gals are actually the most realistic I’ve seen in a manga in a while. They’re sitting on the dead center of dumb anime proportions and humanly possible, which just makes them even hotter.

Why is it number 5? The story is good, the art is good, the ladies are hot, all the pieces work well with another. So why does it sit at the fifth spot? I can’t come out and say it, but while the story is good, the series falls prey to doing something that many, many other series in this genre do. I would love to come out and say it, but ultimately when it occurred my eyes rolled so far back into my head I could see down into my stomach. It’s a personal grievance of mine but it’s enough to keep it from going higher up on the list.

I do wonder if that chick with the ‘TAKEMENOW’ face just had it stuck unable to revert that way one day.

4. Highschool of the Dead

That’s one hell of a name for a series, wouldn’t you agree? It’s quite fitting though. A lethal disease spreads itself worldwide, killing most of its population. Those infected quickly die of the disease, only to find themselves mindlessly walking around as the undead afterwards. The undead then run off to find others to munch, which in turn spreads the disease further. In the middle of all this apocoplytipc behavior a group of high school students band together with their school nurse in hopes of surviving it all while trying to figure out why it happened in the first place.

Man High School of the Dead is so much fun. It’s just too good. Is my saying that not being professional? Who cares? This series starts just roaring straight out of the gates, hitting the road with all it’s got. All the characters are awesome, the action is brutal and violent, and the gals in HoTD are just dumb hot. That’s to be expected when you’ve got fucking Inuzama behind the art. While Maken-Ki coasted to #7 on art, Highschool of the Dead ranks much higher because it’s simple, it knows that, and it’s wildly entertaining because of it. Zombies are fucking up everything up, we’ve got to figure out why and kick their ass while we do. Also all the chicks involved have crazy big breasts and are hot enough to melt ice just by looking at it (seductively of course). I don’t think I’ve ever been wild for a character like I am for Busujima. A samurai chick with an evil side that wears thigh highs, garters, and shin pads over them. It sounds ugly but it’s extremely sexy.

Why is it number 4? Being #4 on this list just means the three above it just have a special knack all their own that put them above the rest. While you could call HotD pandering to simplicity by just throwing hot chicks into a zombie landscape that doesn’t keep it from being entertaining, far far from it. Hell, it’s #4 because it doesn’t come out regularly enough. I’m lucky now that the manga has been kicked back into a normal rotation, and there’s an anime coming out.

Animated Busujima? Thanks Jesus (wherever you are bro)!

3. Unbalance x Unbalance

Riding down that home stretch with that second title with its feet planted firmly in normalcy! Unbalance x Unbalance (aka UxU, deal with it!) happens to be the only entry on this list that doesn’t hail from the glorious land of Nippon, and I suppose that’s why it stands out.  One fine day in the UxU universe a teenager named Jin-Ho happens to find a wallet belonging to somebody else. Luckily he finds the owner of the wallet and returns it to a Miss Hae-Young Na, who was relieved until she checks how much money is in the wallet. Apparently Jin took it upon himself to grant his own wallet a reward by taking out a bit from hers (you know, just for finding and returning it of course).  Hae doesn’t take this lightly and consider it a loan, of which she expects him to pay back. They then part ways, until the next morning of course, where he finds out that Hae is his now his homeroom teacher. And so begins the many trials and tribualtions for Jin-Ho and Miss Hae-Young Na.

Honestly this series is a breath of fresh air. An extremely sexy breath of a fresh air (it doesn’t have to make sense damn it) mind you, but in the midst of the romantic genre it is most welcome. UxU follows the countless situations that come about from Jin-Ho being a stubborn teenager and Hae-Young opening up her heart to him ever so slowly. Jin-Ho has a past that he keeps to himself, and yet it still continues to affect his present day actions, while Hae-Young finds it hard to even fall for her student at first, but realizes that age doesn’t play as much of a role in this development for her. That being said, oh my god the females in this series are mouth wateringly hot. I don’t know if it’s a Korean touch but you just do not get figures like the ones the gals in UxU rock in regular manga. In one word it would be voluptuous. In two words it would be magically delicious. Seriously I have to get corny just to describe it. Hell even Jin-Ho makes that voluptuous proclamation after noticing it himself. That’s just the ideal figure I’d love to smother myself in~.

Why is it number 3? UxU does not hold back. Jin doesn’t get all shy and retarded when he sees the female body. Quite the opposite. If he likes you, you’re going to know it, and that’s the driving point of UxU. You’re not stuck banging your head into the nearest wall pleading that he’s going to grow balls and let Hae-Young know how he feels. He’s got a pair right from the damn start, leaving actual normal development to come from everything else. It keeps the story fresh, even when you realize that the ‘teacher – student’ relationship is a plot device used to justify the situations they happen to get into over and over. You just want to stick around because you find yourself actually caring for the characters and the predicaments instead of wondering how you’ll set a pool up to bet on who is going to end up with who at the end.

Sweet Caroline, good times never seemed so good~

2. Black Lagoon

First off, if you so much as tried to imagine using a one liner on any of the femme fatales in Black Lagoon you can consider your balls breakfast for the local alley cats. With that out of the way, let’s get to the premise! A humble salaryman known as ‘Rock’ is kidnapped by the Lagoon company, a band of pirates / mercenaries for hire. The crew consists of three people, a tatooed hottie named Revy who is viscous with her two custom 9mm in either hands, a tall muscular black man named Dutch who is in charge of crew, and Benny, the technical expert of the group. While contemplating the conditions of ransom Rock soon finds that the company he had been kidnapped from doesn’t give a flying shit that he was kidnapped, and the notion of paying money for him to be let go isn’t even considered. He’s pretty much left for dead. At this point Rock realizes how meaningless his life had been working for him so he opts to join the very group of people who had kidnapped him in the first place.  Somehow they take him in, having Rock tag along to every hit, smuggling, and other deal they can get their hands on.

This series is brutal. HotD may have been gruesome, but they were dealing with zombies. Black Lagoon is just down gritty, dirty, and violent. Absolutely everyone in this show is fucking scary. I’ve never seen colder, more brutally killer stares in any other series before. Even if they all look like they feel a stereotype (the maid, the girl in a china dress, the gothic lolita) it’s by looks only, which makes this shown insanely entertaining. The series plays a huge amount of homage to other films and the like, both in the manga and anime. Amongst all the graphic violence and tiny portions of dark humor (thanks Revy) there are actual underlying themes to be found. There’s the simple concept of right and wrong that we get from Rock and Revy’s moral choices bouncing off of one another, the notion of free will, the uniquely Japanese form of social obligation known is Giri and Ninjo, and even modern day Nazism. So Black Lagoon happens to have brains behind all the bullets and breasts. How nice.

Why is it number 2? I hate to sound chauvinistic, but this is a pretty manly show, even with all the hot women in it. Please note that I said women this time, and not gals or ladies. That’s a great thing to note. Some of you may not appreciate that, but I love it. There’s really no fan service to be found either, but you soon realize that would definitely detract from the overall Black Lagoon experience. If anything I’d have to say that the fact that they’re all liable to turn me into kibbles and bits due to them all being criminals knocks dow the hot quota just a notch.

There is almost nothing hotter then Revy in a skirt though.

1. Gunsmith Cats

(Before I start, I have to say it was impossible to find official art that didn’t suck, so I went with fanart.)

Yeah, that’s right. Gunsmith Cats. A series from that olden time when anime was still be lent around by borrowing your friend’s VHS copy that they bought at Suncoast and manga barely occupied a shelf or two at your local bookstore and were printed left to right. The story revolves the life of Rally Vincent, a 19 year old cutie running a gunshop in Chicago. Yes, Chicago. Rally operates the store with her adorable 17 year old friend May Hopkins. Business is decent at the shop, but unbeknown to their customer Rally and May are bounty hunters when they’re not running the store. Rally says its a hobby but it’s pretty much her main source of income. The series follows them from one job to the next, where the bump into all sorts of folk, good and bad, pretty and ugly.

Man, I love this series. Of course this is old man blubbering syndrome going on but this was one of the first things I read when I got into manga / anime and it just stuck. I fell in love with everything about it. Rally’s incredible skill and knowledge with any firearm she could get her hands on, her expertise as a drive, May’s knack for the explosives, all of it. This series just nailed everything. Characters, story, backstory, character development, execution, action, art style, everything. And while everything in this list has been lusty hot label, Gunsmith Cats is a classy sexy hot. The type that’s just light years out of your league that you can’t help but admire anyway.

Why is it number 1? There’s just nothing hotter then seeing how Kenichi Sonada has the two of them kick ass and take names. Period.

Well, that’s it. I hope you guys enjoyed the read. I’m sure you’ll agree or disagree or what have you, but that’s what the comment section’s for! Thanks for reading.
