Is the violence like... blowing stuff up and guns? He says he want swordplay, but if there aren't any mangas without bloody swordplay, guns are okay.
If there is any language, how bad is it? If it's not to frequent, I can always get a pen and cross out any language, but it's it's too bad(anything worse than the d-word), then that's out.
Thanks for the suggestions!

I'm looking for a manga with no swearing,no nudity AT ALL, no.... adult stuff that isn't suitable for his impressionable eyes, violence is fine, but veeeeeeeeeery little blood. He doesn't want ANY romance(boys. ) or maybe just a little, say the main character and the girl get together, but not too mushy, y'know? Oh, and no magic/sorcery that contradicts Christian ideals, if you know what I'm trying to say. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated, and sorry about his... pickiness.

1)I think there is some minor language. A few "D---" if I recall correctly.
2)Two male characters are gay, but the people at Tokyopop tried to obliterate all the evidence by changing the dialogue. Unfortunately, one think they couldn't hide was the cloud of rose petals that descend upon the two of them when they talk, or the stary-googly eyes they make when they talk. You Bro might not catch it, but, no matter what they're saying, I was like "Something is not quite normal here. . . "
3) I don't remember how these character are related to the plot, but there are these two twin-ish chicks who wears some immodest clothing. It's a little two piece deal. I'd the say the top is equivelant to a very modest bikini top. You know what I mean. So, that's all I know. There could be more, but that's all I can tell you.
Mangafanatic wrote:Hate to disagree with you on that score, but I'm like 99.89 percent sure that they most certainly are gay. Or atleast, they most certainly were before tokyopop sanatized them.
Furthermore, I'd have to disagree when you say that CLAMP just writes male characters that are "close." I've only read parts of 2 clamp series and one of them was Wish. The demony underguy has a crush on his demony over lord (You know the one who has a affair with an angel--- don't you just want to strangle the four ladies of CLAMP?) Clamp does not shy away from making their characters homosexual.
Still, if you have proof to the contrary-- I'm more than happy to hear it.
