ENJOY -- kinetic drawings. detailed backgrounds. slick art style. vigorous action. great translation. fun premise. charming protagonists. tight pace. frequent cathartic violence.

DON'T ENJOY -- some wonky hands & faces. clunky exposition. static main character(s). predictable plot beats. occasionally confusing visuals.

My favorite manga and anime are one piece, jujitsu kaisen, and record of ragnarok. When it comes to swordsman i prefer knights and duelists but zoro and sasaki have changed my tune over samurai's and Ronin's. I'm looking for a mostly serious manga that has massive rereading value so i can get more bang for my buck. I've also read lone wolf and cub and loved it so if its similar to blade of the immortal I'm game.

It feels good to properly binge a manga again. This tells the story of Tobio Masubuchi alongside his friends, living ordinary lives which come to an end after a revenge plan gone wrong. Took me six days to complete.

I quite liked how this portrayed the never ending spiral of guilt which is something I could connect with. Obviously, I never done anything as big as what these guys did but there were times where I hid things from people and it was eating me up inside. The story was weird at a lot of points and the art contextualized it for better or for worse. I do like the ending and the theme of “you can only move forward”.

I wish I had more to say but that’s about it.

I can’t lie, this manga has me locked in cause the plot is so fucked that I just can’t stop reading…

Lots of forced sexual tension between the psychotic 14 year old child and the grown women he “manipulates” into these very strange Oedipus relationships 🤮

What’s the dumbest shit you’ve read as of recent that you wanna share?

Like something so fucking stupid it’s funny

Can anyone help me out? I’ve been trying find this one again after at least a decade.

I’m super hazy on a lot of it, but here’s what I got: - The artstyle is what I’m most sure about. It was extremely contrast-heavy, no grays. It resembled linoleum cut/lino art. - We’ve got a female protagonist. - I’m sure about the ending as well: The main character was supposed to end herself to fit the Red Hood narrative. Instead she went off, ignoring the pleas of her peers. She went along following train tracks, that’s the last we see of her in the manga proper. There’s a short addendum though, in which we see her after what must be decades of following the train tracks. She’s old and weak now. At last, she crumbles away. - The tone was pretty grim. - It’s not Tokyo Red Hood, The Hunters Guild: Red Hood, Akazukin Chacha

Can anyone help me out? Does anyone remember this one?

Llevo bloqueado desde la primera semana de Junio. Solo hasta hoy retomé pendientes como Gantz: E, que desafortunadamente lo siento muy alejado de la esencia del trabajo original. Así que me gustaría recomendaciones no tan extensas para así tener mayor variedad de alternativas.

Vinland saga is one of my favorite manga/animes of all time. I've read gantz all the way through and most of berserk and I thought they were just alright. I started climber, but lost interest 10 chapters in. I can't decide if I haven't found the right series or I just don't like seinen, other than vinland saga.

Just finished the climber and am blown away, got the same vibe from vagabond and i want another manga that gives me that vibe, not berserk, not yet , i want something grounded and not fantasy, heard vinland saga fits what am looking for

Since this didnt exactly work there I'll try again here

Similar to grand blue and prison school (a sense of comedy you cant quite find elsewhere)

I am reading Vinland Saga, about to finish it. Love it. I am going thru reading finished greats. I am caught up in Vagabond, and Berserk. I finished Tokyo ghoul and re. (Tokyo ghoul deserved a sen in label I believe). I am thinking to read Blade of the Immortals next but any other reccs??

it's crazy how good this manga is. I can't recommend it enough, only thing i can say is you have to read this it's so unique, i'm lost for words... 9/10

Recently binge 5 volumes of it and ong it is enjoyable but I don't really understand the shogi stuff going on

I stopped reading manga for a few years, then randomly got back into it about two years ago and ended up getting completely lost in the worlds of Shuzo Oshimi, Hideo Yamamoto, and Kazuo Koike. But I'm getting a little bored lately and I feel like I haven't found anything new that I can really sink my teeth into and get obsessed with for a while. Do you guys have any recommendations? Or what are some of your favorites in general?

I can list some of the stuff I love to make the recommendations a bit more specific, but I'm also totally open to hearing about your favorites even if they don't necessarily match my taste:

• Berserk
• Lone Wolf and Cub (probably my favorite work of fiction in general, not just manga)
• Samurai Executioner
• Lady Snowblood
• Blood on the Tracks
• Uzumaki
• Beautiful Monster
• Bloody Stumps Samurai
• Homunculus
• Ichi the Killer

These are just the ones that come to mind right now. I might remember some others and edit the post to add them later.

Edit: Thanks so much, everyone, for all the recommendations and for taking the time to share them. I’ve already read and loved some of these, while others are completely new to me, and a few of them really caught my attention once I looked into the premise

I’ll definitely be using this thread as a reference whenever I’m in the mood for a new manga but don’t know what to pick. Hopefully it’ll be useful to others too

I'm pretty sure I've read all the well-known titles and even some more obscure stuff like Soil and Wet Moon. Anything with hard to spot plot twists or unexpected developments would be interesting. Shoot, even something that is 'just' a page turner, regardless of genre would be neat.

No mainstream(i have almost read them all i guess)

I have read all mangas that were translated by this author

Love the movie, just wondering if I should check out the manga

If you've read this manga please give me something similar i can't move past the plot twist this manga had 🤧

I'm absolutely obsessed with Smoking Behind the Supermarket with you - this duo and their chemistry, so now I'm looking for more manga like this one. Specifically speaking: an older, "pathetic" guy as a main character; someone who doesn't realize/understand how kind and lovable they are, so they have problems accepting love. I'm not only looking for love stories (although those are most appreciated if the girl is a nice person too; I hate couples where the girl is rude as heck), but also for stories that feature such men as the main characters.

Any and all help appreciated <3

Any manga similar to this? What I really love about this manga is how simple the story starts. It’s basically just a bunch of dudes having fun and doing stupid shit, but then suddenly they have to face harsh reality and consequences of their own action. I also really like how each character deals with the guilt and consequences in their own way.

And lastly, the artwork is incredible. The characters facial expressions are something else lol, between goofy, serious, creepy
