So, yeah, we're already in the New Year and hype for future releases on continuing as well as new developing series has risen hopes since '08. I'm sure a lot of people here are already on pre-order lists for 20th Century Boys but I was wondering what everyone was dying to read.

Wanting:

Moyashimon
Orange
Tsubasa: Those With Wings
Oishinbo
X-men Misfits

As for "continuing series" I welcome more:

NANA
Evyione (Udon Press don't let this Manhwa die like countless others)
Princess Ai
Bride of the Water God (Please, I need more of this Manhwa series!)
Grim Peddler

I also love how a lot of teen book series are being picked up by distributors and being turned into manga like Maximum Ride and Cirque du Freak. Now, if only they could bring me some Twilight manga. ^_^;

I need more BLEACH!!!!

(ahem.) And, naturally, as a responsible adult, I want the rest of the Mushishi series.

The rest of the One-Pound Gospel series (I have the original releases of what has been republished so far. I'm waiting on the stuff that never made it to the States before.)

I'm dying to see whether or not Vash makes it or not. I've done good not to spoil myself, but the wait drives me nuts! (if I think about it enough, hahaha).

I would've read Bleach had I not gotten so into One Piece. I can only do one 20+ volume series at a time. >_>;

One pound Gospel! I had completely forgotten about that series until you brought it up. Is it worth picking up? I've heard a lot of hit and miss reviews on it so I've been skeptical.

It's basically just typical vintage Takahashi (similar to Maisson Ikkoku). I like it mostly for being one of my first manga loves, along with Oh My Goddess and a couple others. It also has the distinction of being the first series where the US distributor dropped the title on me before the JP series ended. Sadly, it wasn't the last. I'm very glad they've now gone back and re-issued it. Now if I can just get them to reissue 'Patlabor'!

I wouldn;t know where to start, given I haven;t ever read a manga yet. I suppose if there is any new Gundam or DBZ related manga coming out this year, I'd start with that first.
