Hi ! Since this community is brand new, let’s get it started with the classic recommendations thread :-)
I haven’t read mangas in a while, and my favorite were (in no particular order)
- Kenshin
- Hunter X Hunter
- GTO
I also liked one piece, but got out a few years ago and now catching up seems like quite a bit of work, and the start of Naruto before stuff got too weird.
Do you have good mangas to recommend for me ?
Thanks a lot :-)
I’d say give One Piece another shot, it’s long but it’s great the whole way through so it never feels like a slog.
Choujin X is a more recent one that’s super good, amazing art and interesting characters in a pretty mysterious world. It has an amazing first chapter and first volume in general, so give it a try!
Finally, I’d give Undead Unluck a shot. It’s gonna be an anime soon, but it keeps getting better and better in my opinion.
Hope that helps!
+1 to Undead Unluck, I can’t believe how good it got from where it started. Phenominal stuff.
A personal favorite manga of mine is Spy X Family. It’s about a spy who has to start a family as part of a mission only to adopt a telepath girl and marry an assassin. It’s really funny and wholesome.
I love Spy x Family. A friend of mine recommended it to me before an anime was even announced and I loved it right away. I could not put it down when I started reading it.
The one punch man manga, animated by Murata, is top notch.
A lot of good recommendations. Especially Fullmetal Alchemist. I went on a bit of a manga reading binge a few months ago. I read through 3 different series from Naoki Urusawa. I read: Monster, Pluto, and 20th Century Boys.
Urusawa is one of the best in the business at building up tension. I would say between these 3 I would go with Pluto or Monster first. 20th Century Boys is good. But very long and wasn’t as satisfying as it could have been. Pluto is technically a remake of an Astro Boy arc that Urusawa grew up loving and worked with Osamu Tezuka’s family to create. If you like Hunter x Hunter, the creator made one of my favorite series ever in YuYu Hakusho. It’s a timeless classic.
I had Claymore recommended to me after reading Berserk. Other than having big sword it’s more like Witcher with women as leads. I enjoyed it and it is a completed series, so no endless haituses to keep you waiting.
And for those who liked Chainsaw man another work from the author is Fire Punch it is also a completed story about a guy who is on fire and punches people in an apocalyptic world where the Earth has frozen over. It’s a very crazy Manga and not for the feint of heart with how graphic it gets compared to Chainsaw man.
Jujutsu Kaisen - It’s fast-paced and has decently creative powers; if you like shonen manga but don’t want the slow, textbook setup of shonen manga, this is a good read.
Chainsaw Man - Full of wacky and vulgar humor. Breaks the mold of normal shonen manga without trying to subvert the usual tropes, more like by being weird and doing its own thing.
Fullmetal Alchemist - If you haven’t read this, you should. Honestly, probably one of the few manga that get my gold star of approval. Great characters, great plot, sticks the landing, leaves you satisfied but wishing there was more.
I can recomend two of my favorites: Full Metal Alchemist and Death Note.
The first one another user already talked about it. As for the Death Note: a boy finds a book from a Shinigami (a kind of god/Angel of death). The book as the property that if you write the name of a person in that book, the person will die. So the boy see the oprtunity to make the society better by killing all the bad guys, he is a real hero…or…is he not? It s really good.
I also recomend both anime adaptation, for FMA please see brotherhood version, it is the one that follows the manga. You will love the “nina” episode. And death Note has a great soudtrack.
