Good mangas with art that turned you away at first

Talk all things Manga related! *spoiler* tags please.

Adding onto the list...
Boku X Inu SS or was it the other way around LOL. (That whole m*****f***ing series just rewinded half way through. I'm over with it.)
And Danshi Kokousei no Nichijou (Oh God this is hilarious. It's downright laugh until your guts hurt with tears of blood streaming down your eyes hilarious.)

i thought it was a little too plain and simple, but i actually fell in love with the style after the first volume :P
[also, got into some other simple styled mangas after that too like karakuri ---- (forgot the title ^ ^""")]
and the story/plot to me is just amazing. in the more recent volumes, i cried a lot while reading them haha

Now that you mentioned it, I need to catch up on that series XD

Saki... it was more that all the characters (pretty much) had... huuuuge :shock: boobs. xD It's mahjong-related but so intense (o/ I found another manga that was similar, but it's about the game.. to do with 100 poems. These types of mangas are so exciting (o/
I'm a whisper. Hear me raaaawr.

Yep, it does have an anime. But I'm not sure if I watched it.. I heard it was good though (o/
Something to watch during my "free time" ...:'D

I'm pretty sure Akagi has an anime too and it's about mahjong. I think.
Gawd, I don't even remember my series anymore.

My friend just showed me a clip of it. I'm not too interested... It's hard for me to sit down and watch anime that I'm interested in, so forget that >.> I'll go see if anything is updated Px

Kimi Ni Todoke and Nana. At first i thought the art wasn't that great but when I started reading Kimi Ni todoke, I was hooked :)
And as for Nana, I heard from a friend that it was a good manga so I didn't really care much about the artwork.

Mhmm! ;)
I thought xxxHolic was funky because the character design. But, I was sure wrong!

CLAMP's characters are pretty funky in proportion sometimes... but it's just their style. As people keep telling me P:
