Well there are countless threads on this sort of thing, but to be brief I'll say that most 13+ rated manga and below don't contain nudity. The most nude thing you'll find in such manga would be skimpy outfits or bathing suits, or the famed magical-girl transformation process. But manga with unobscurred nudity is generally rated 16+ or above.

I'd disagree on you there, Kirei. I think thirteen plus often has nudity. Everything under that won't. What kind of manga are you looking for, double O(that's you one and only)?

I guess I'll reply here instead of PM. ^_^

I'm not too sure about the shonen/shoujo categories. But, the current domestically-available titles that I know that are lacking in female nudity are as follows:

Shonen titles:
Rurouni Kenshin
Hikaru no Go
Bleach
Suikoden

Shoujo
Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle
XXXholic
DNAngel
Card Captor Sakura
Pretear

Remember, I said, "female" ...some titles have guys exposing their chests/half naked. And you may have to watch out for some magic/occultic elements in some of these titles too.

What about the part in Fruits Basket with Kagura.

One Piece has zero nudity, to my knowledge.

I'll say that most 13+ rated manga and below don't contain nudity.

Some do, actually.

King of H***! There is one part of the first one where a young woman has her dress torn, but that is the extent of the fanservice for the six volumes I've seen. There is violence, the main character is a ghost that works for the King of H***, and there is swearing, A, B, D, and H.


Aria is clean. The most I can think of against it is light swearing.

You might check out Azu Manga Daioh, just be aware there are swimsuits, one of the teachers relates a dirty story (you just see the girls reactions), girls locker room talk, and Kimura, their pervert classics teacher.

Which is why I said most. I'm talking about the T (teen) rating, not T+ (older teens).

Untrue. Magic Knight Rayearth is rated Y for young (10+) and has some nude transformation scenes from what I remember. Also, Tokyo Mew Mew is rated the same and has the same sort of stuff.

Angelic Layer and I don't think Rave Master has any female nudity either.

Oh nuts...I forgot about that. I'll omit FB then. Thanks!

Your welcome. (And just to clarify, Kagura's not totally nude. I mean-- she is, but we only see a good portion of her hip and her side. Her arm hides most of her chest, but it's still not squeaky clean.)

WHAT!!! Did you hear what he said guys!?



STONE HIM!!!!



But seriously, what manga did you pick up. True there are some pretty lame manga's out there as far as art quality goes, but there's the same thing with anime.

oh basically trigun and some gundam wing.... i didnt think all the ones at B&N would have been the cleanest

No they probably wouldn't have the cleanest. So you didn't like Trigun or Gundam?

like the animes... just did not like the way of the paper and drawings... see like something i would find at a Dollar Store or something...

Yeah, I wasn't imporessed by Trigun. I only flipped through it, but looked like a more sketchy, chibi style. But I can't be sure.

There is some really breath taking manga. Yuu Watase, for example, has a GORGEOUS style. Don't read anything of hers. (It's beautiful and equally perverse.)
