Any good lainchan manga?

I've heard the Planetes manga's pretty good and atleast somewhat /cyb/. While the anime focuses more on politics and human relations, the manga centers more on existential concepts and humanity's relationship with space.

this is an obvious answer, but Ghost In The Shell had a very good manga
do try to get the uncensored edition

Definitely read the original manga if you haven't yet and enjoyed the other iterations of GitS. You'll see similar events from the SAC TV series but it manages to stand out from it by going more in depth into the underlying concepts that make GitS what it is. And the art is good too.

Not really manga. This is my favourite graphic novel ever made and I think that every lainanon would enjoy it.
It's called Kabuki by David Mack
"Set in an alternate near-future Japan, a young woman codenamed "Kabuki", acts as an agent and television law-enforcement personality for a clandestine government body known as "The Noh". In the first volume of the series, The Noh's nature and background is explained."
It's a beautiful piece of work.

I got tripped up at first too. It's a comic, not a manga.

Surprised none has mentioned Inio Asano yet.
Oyasumi Punpun was a great bildungsroman, and Nijigahara Holograph is turning out pretty good as well. His current work is a bit more lighthearted in comparison, but still good read.
A hidden gem is also Caramel Kitsch Yuugekitai

Well, the original manga run and perhaps Human-Error Processor. But Man-Machine Interface was basically softcore porn and technobabble. Not much was there in the way of grand /cyb/ concepts.

Dead Demons Destruction is fuarrrking awesome.
With some people you really do feel a kind of connection through their work,
and I do so with Asano.
Across those thousand miles disconnecting our physical bodies,
I can still feel that in some sense we are the same.
The Introduction of these new characters, just as this whole political aspect of this work is handled rather well.

Watamote, since most lains are socially awkward NEETs, its style of humor will be appealing.

Yeah, beyond Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei - politics are usually handled pretty hamfisted in Japan and as someone living here now I can tell it's because people don't give a soykaf - even here at Todai they hardly watch the news. So it's nice to see someone stirring the pot once in a while - and this time from the other perspective.
I also really need to finish Nijigahara Holograph and start on Solanin, or maybe some of the less famous work's by Nihei.
Last, mandatory mention of Douman Seiman.

Tomoko a qt.
For less high-brow (for deep and mature people like myself) manga I'd recommend Zai x 10, +Tic Neesan, Ryuushika Ryuushika, and Keyman - The Hand of Judgement.

Yokohama Kaidashi Kiko
Near-future. Peaceful, melancholic slow-paced/non narrative slice-of-life following a robot maid who's been left to run a rural cafe in a recovering low population, post-ecological disaster japan. Really special, light-hearted but highly recommended

YKK is beautiful. I wish it never ended. But it would be against the point of the story.
