I'd just like you-all to reccomend some things to me in terms of Japanese
(translated) and American comic-books.  (And, yes, I already know about
Ranma, so I'll be rather disappointed if I just get 150 messages saying
that Ranma is good..) (Note: If you there's anything really good from
other countries, I'm open to that, too..)

        Battle Angel Alita, published and translated by Viz.

        Domu, published and translated by Dark Horse, by the creator
of Akira, Katsuhiro Otomu.

        Guyver, perhaps?  (also by Viz).
