Alright, I'll add them to the list. I gave them both a look. I have a feeling you have a preference to action mangam since I think most of the ones I've heard you mention seem to focus on that. These seem that way as well, but more so with Kenichi. I've seen that one many times on manga sites and I think it was ranked high on popularity. I think a friend of mine suggested it as well. I never picked it up for some reason... : S Looking through the 1st chapter, it looks like a fun light hearted battle manga that could be a bit on the ecchi side, with the girl in the glasses. It looks funny too. One kid looked like a goblin or something xD

Vagabond looks like the opposite of Kenichi o_o The art style is very detailed and realistic, and rather graphic and gory. It kind of reminds me of Kenshin, but more serious. I'm not too fond of the art style, but it's one I can greatly appreciate since the art is very good. I think it's cool the story is based on an actual person.

Gosh, I'm starting to get more manga than I can handle... xD

He is more like a demon, he's pretty funny as well XD
But even as it's fun a lot of times, it takes martial arts seriously, the battles are really cool, and it progresses very well, you really should give it a try, the drawing also improved considerably on the go, the first chapters aren't as good looking as the midway or lastest ones (pretty much like on One Piece).

About Vagabond, yes, it doesn't do turn arounds, it can get graphic indeed, but it's on a realistic way, it's more in line with Berserk on that, but with less fantasy and more focus on a realistic approach, as it's based on an actual person as you said. There is rape, mutilation, genocid, post fight injure effects, there is even a take on famine of archaic society on the feudal era period, it's a very serious manga, it's a damn piece of art. I consider Vagabond a masterpiece.

(you said I like action but I was the one to open the Fantasy option votes on the pool here, lol XD)

Yeah, I get a feeling this manga focuses a lot on martial arts and battles, but it looks like it's also fun, with some comedic moments. The art does seem a bit lacking in the 1st chapter, but i imagine it gets better.  I'll try giving this a read some time : )

And on Vagabond, Berserk is a good comparison. That also looks serious and more realistic. But I haven't read that either... : S From the 1st chapter, it does look very serious, but also a very good manga.

(Darn, I thought I could guess your favorite type of manga! >_< Oh well, it was worth a try!)
