I’m in dire need of some new entertainment to read and I’ve been on a comic kick recently. I’ve read some manga and I’d like to get some more, rather than just stumble into things once in a while.
I think I enjoy action manga, though I get bored with the fights pretty quick. I’m interested in every genre I suppose, as long as it’s interesting. I’ll list what I’ve read and enjoyed here, moreso you’ll have an idea of what I’d be into, not to tie me down to that genre. Really I’d love to broaden my horizon, but this is slop I’m looking for - easy reading.
- Fullmetal Alchemist
- Mieruko
- Berserk
- Detective Conan
- One Piece (though since dressrosa I’ve not been as into it. Mainly reading out of habit these days)
- Early Naruto (In general I feel like Shonen start off with an interesting premise and then it does a timeskip and it becomes all about power levels. I don’t understand why they do that.)
- Yu-Gi-Oh!
- Shaman King
- Junji Itos stuff
- Dragon Ball (should have stopped after the cell games tbh)
- Delicious in Dungeon
- Death note
- solo levelling.
And recently I read solo leveling which was some nice enough isekai slop. I wouldn’t mind getting a good isekai recommended.
I dislike fanservice though, so that eliminates all isekai more or less.
My reading list, at the moment (all ongoing):
Recommendations otherwise based on your list:
besides it kinda petering out and not ending in a way that really satisfied me, but it’s hard to describe the finer details in almost the exact sense it is to Undertale without giving the bits away and losing some of the magic and craft to it, so I have to push it with a ‘trust me on this’)Kagurabachi’s latest issue
I loved entering it thinking it was a meme manga, and it has been an amazing read.
Read Witch Hat Atelier and Girls Don’t Play Fighting Games
GGWP is GOATed, have the scanlations updated recently? I think I’m caught up. I think I was at the end of the tournament. I binged it a few months ago. I generally didn’t include my smorgasbord of rom-coms in my RSS feed as it didn’t seem pertinent to OP’s presented palate (besides the absurdist 100 Kano, which I recommend to anyone who has enough knowledge of harem manga to groan about them)
witch hat atelier just a week away, witch hat atelier in a week, wow, I am so excited about this information, witch hat atelier, a week! (It has been wasting away in my backlog I really want to get to it but I have been otherwise reading other things
)
Oh hell yeah, I have been watching Solo Leveling, DB Daima and Zenshu; so glad it’s coming out. Sakamoto Day’s anime has been crappy so far. Feels like OPM S2. I’m excited for Kagurabachi’s when it comes out.
dropped off the Sakamoto manga when they essentially sidelined the fem deuteragonist. didn’t fuck with that move. kinda petty but just didn’t vibe with me and I didn’t care to continue after it
The witch hat atelier anime is almost here? That’s actually pretty exciting. The studio doing it is the same one that did ZOM100 last year and absolutely knocked that out of the park, and I’m very interested to see if they manage the same level of quality with witch hat atelier.
I don’t know about that tbh I’m doing the Christmas bit for it languishing in my backlog
Ah. It is coming sometime this year, though. I just looked it up and saw that they’ve put out a teaser since the last time I looked, and it looks absolutely amazing visually.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
I forgot to add solo levelling as some slop I’ve read, so your Omniscient Reader recommendation sounds like exactly the thing I’ve been looking for! And I love urban/super natural, so Dandadan is definitely also something I must look into. And all the others too, but wow there’s a lot of good stuff out there. Bleach I watched a bit of as an anime, loved his hero song. Number one or something.
Thank youf for all of your recommendations, I’ll make sure to have a look at as many of them as I can
The manga is so peak. If you watched the first season of the anime, you aren’t getting the full effect – only after GF 10 does the series really start to pick up in its absurdity (of particular note for greatness are 13, 14, 18, 20-23 – a run of really hilarious/absurd characters), and 29). The real joy of the series is actually the interactions between the members of Rentarou’s family – it is, fundamentally, a gag manga. It also helps the protagonist is like, the most wholesome guy to ever live and also decidedly NOT a piece of shit. Also, even tho there’s a silly magic premise, the fact is, the reason he’s great is just that he’s made it his mission to better himself, so he’s not some power fantasy/self-insert/cringe character.
This season will be a taste though, especially now that 9, 10, and 11 are joining. All three are great.
This is the strangest endorsement I have ever read out of context.
Well, looks like I have to read it.
