Not right now, unfortunately. I wasn't prepared to get booted out of the Naruto fandom, what with the sudden ending of the manga and the terrible state of shipping! If I'd had any idea how fast and bad it was all going to go down, I probably would have started reading other mangas and moving away from Naruto! Lol - but I guess that's what Kishimoto was expecting, hence the craptastic ambush of an ending!
I loved FMA, and I've been watching all the buzz around AoT and TG, so maybe I'll check those out since I am currently manga-less! I've tried to read One Piece, but I just couldn't get into it. The illustrations were a little too crazy.
I have to admit, if/when I get into another manga, I certainly won't read it expecting it to end in my favor, even if my ship is the OTP and all signs point to the story having a sensible and satisfying resolution. Naruto was so completely botched, after his love for Sakura was so completely assured, by even Naruto himself, that I don't think I'll trust another series ending until it's all said and done. If Kishimoto, writer of the world's most popular manga, could sell out his entire 15-year series for just a little more money, then I'm sure less-experienced writers for less-popular mangas could do the same.
Not jaded or bitter, but I just won't go into it with such blind faith in the story and the author again.
I don't think anyone expected to be kicked to the curb as we have been.
AoT and TG are worth it, judging by the slightly darker themed, more mature settings of your fics, you'd probably enjoy them both.
Mother of god a TouKen story written by you would be a dream come true XD. Yeah, Oda's illustrations are much different than most other manga's. It always seemed to me like his illustrations were a way to really create his own world. Whereas other illustrations, like Naruto for instance, are more "realistic" Oda tends to opt for a more creative type of art, like he was trying to detach you from your world and reel you into his. I might be looking too much into it though XD if you could ever get used to the art, the story is definitely worth it.
I feel much the same, I find it pretty hard to trust the intent of writers now. I'll always trust Oda, because his reputation is that he writes his own story, and he doesn't let anyone tell him how to write it, and also Ishida Sui (the guy who writes TG). His style of writing kind of forced me to trust him lol but in general, I think I'll probably approach writings/manga in a more cynical way than before.
