The Kyodai take a sharp turn into the world of alternative manga with Taiyo Matsumoto's Sunny. Here, things move a little more slowly, kids aren't always cute or well-behaved, and each volume costs 23 frickin' dollars! But with art this gorgeous and a story this insightful, we can't really complain.
Spoilers for Sunny, Chapters 1-6.
