What Connotates A Good Manga?
I mean from a christian point of view does plot line matter the most. Or does it have to be clean and not violent. What kind of stuff keeps you away from the manga? Personally i tend to go on story line and if there is some nudity or violence i just ignore and have to finish the story and it subtracts but doesn't destroy the read.

Well, I'd say that good manga to me would be manga with:
--Minimal nudity (or none for that matter)
--A manga that has good characters, or bad characters that change for the better.
--If there are bad things in it, I like to see them frowned upon by other characters.
--I don't freak out some minor language, but it makes me happy when there's not excessive language.
--I don't really like alot of hacking off of limbs or decapitations. But I can stand a little bit of violence.
That would be the paper-cut out for good manga in my book.

Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.
Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.
But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

More than anything, I am put off from Christian manga when I disagree with the basic philosophy it expouses.
In regard to general manga: nudity is obvious a negative aspect, but fanservice actually bothers me even more. Pointless violence is also irksome. Other violence is generally fine in my book, and is required if it is an action story. Excessive language severely detracts, but otherwise I don't mind.
I would say plot is essential, regardless of Christian or non-Christian position.
