Without a doubt the most influential and moving manga I have ever read (though truthfully i haven't read many) was Lone Wolf and Cub. SOme of the stories are so moving you really feel for the characters which in my opinion is exceptionally hard to convey in a comic medium (anime too to a lesser extent). I suggest LWC to anyone even those not interested in manga and anime. For all its popularity in Japan I am really suprised there is no anime remake of the series as there is for virtually every other manga series out there.
