No idea why the algorithm recommended this to me but it was a pleasure to watch, you had some good ones in there, not a lot of variety but you seem to be into horror so it makes sense, I still have a very soft spot for Slam Dunk, Inoue Takehiko's art gets better and better, and the story becomes more of a coming of age thing, falling in love with something and finding meaning in it, if you want something different by the ahuthor Vagabond might be up your alley, some of the most beautiful art you'll ever see in a comic, a seren and quite story as well

Him: only buys 3 mangas after getting interested Me: spends 500$ mass ordering different mangas and starting a collection after falling in love with one series

If you like suspense/mystery I would recommend Monster, Pluto or 20th Century Boys. Full Metal Alchemist is great of course, but if you're looking for something a little strange but still excellent, Dorohedoro is just weird fun!

Oh man, I saw you look at a Attack on Titan manga and I really hoped you'd pick it up. That's a fantastic series and I highly recommend it. If you like creepy, scary stories Blood on the tracks is a phenomenal example of a psychological thriller. I never thought that a drawing of a smiling woman's face could scare me as much as it can in this one.

For me, physical manga is more of a collectors thing, I'll only really buy a series physical if I've already read it and I know I like it cause physical manga can really get expensive

Classic manga i would recommend: Bakuman. (A manga about manga, comedy romance), Death Note (Mindgames), Vagabond (hystorical), I sold my life for ten thousand yen per year.(solid short romance), Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind(Og manga. SciFi).

Definitely give Slam Dunk a new chance, its a pretty solid story with a pretty art style. Seeing Hanamichi go from a total rookie in basketball to learning how to love and appreciate the sport is so rewarding. I love stories that makes the delinquent protagonist find some purpose in their lives and Slam does that.

mangas are made in arcs, basically imagine a netflix season, not all arcs are created equal, there are many mangas with a good arc in them, but only handful are excellent from start to finish. Usually an arc would be 3-5 volumes, and what you see very often in manga is a series that starts very strong, and around volume 7 it starts to fall, then during the next arc around volume 10 it gets even worse and gets cancelled by volume 13. Super common. If a manga is a hit, they will beat it to death stretch it as long as possible, they will drag it for another decade if they can.

My MAN! You have some absolute awesome reading materials here. Well chosen sir! Respect!

Yay manga! I miss having a good library around, manga are just too expensive to buy. Death Note is great~~ Also Happiness by Shuzo Oshimi is great, and I hear his other stories are great too. They read even faster than most other manga; big panels, not much dialogue. I like the vlog format! (You might've noticed I'm not very into hauls) Volgs are basically live and ramble-y wrap-ups, which is great.

?!?! i was so shocked when i saw dead mount death play! So few people read it but it is an absolute hidden gem!! edit: the MC of Dead mount death play didn't time travel but went to a different world (our world). In the manga community we call this "isekai-ed" or in this case "reverse isekai-ed" (because he came to our world instead of vice versa) Edit: wooH Alive!! I have NOT heard that name in a long time, I personally really enjoyed Alive when I was younger, although i don't remember too much about it anymore, it is decent manga overall although it does have some romance aspects that i don't care much about, You can really see the author grow as a artist and story teller as you read it though!

ohhhh i love seeing people get into manga personally id recommend reading vinland saga the main character can be a little bit much in the beginning but if you stick with it watching him grow is so rewarding

Judging a manga (especially a long one like slam dunk) based on 1 volume is a bit like judging a 1000 page fantasy novel based on the first 50 pages

So glad you picked Steins;Gate! It is on my top 3 of favorite anime. It is based off a visual novel, where the reader can choose where the story would go, so there are multiple endings of the story. Didn't know it has a manga adaptation but hopefully it stays true to the source material. Goblin Slayer is literally DnD the manga. I really like tabletop RPG and this is just my cup of tea. The gods in this world are supposed to be the "player" of the game and our main character is, well, the game character. However, he keeps ignoring the roll of the dice and refusing to die.

What I like about I Am A Hero is the depiction of the zombies, it's not your typical zombies, they still have some memories & habits when they live and how they turned into zombies is very interesting. Spoiler Alert! For me the ending is very disappointing.

If you like Zombie stuff especially Zombieland, Zombie 100 is a great new zombie manga

Slam Dunk is one of the best comics, period. The author also wrote one of the greatest samurai manga of all time, Vagabond. Suggestion of my personal favorite samurai manga and manga in general: *Blade of the Immortal.*

great vid i really enjoyed it!!! you might really enjoy jujutsu kaisen also curious to hear your thoughts on the mermaid story lol

Love your video and the way you express yourself about the stories! If you can I would recommend The Promised Neverland. Its really good and a mix of horror and mystery it is really enjoyable in its manga form!

I recommend One piece, it can be deceptive, cuz it looks goofy, but it has some very deep themes, especially more you read, if you want to dip your toes in it, read the first 100 chapters, cuz that's the prologue

I liked your choices! Made me want to go through them myself👍

I don't know if you still read these comments and take recommendations, but I would recommend Alice in Borderland. It's about people who get transported into an empty version of Tokyo, where they're forced to play various death games to continue on living. That's just the gist of it though. It dives deep into what the meaning of live is. It's great! If you want something with insane world building that's very adventure and fantasy themed, I recommend Made in Abyss. It's about a young girl who lost her mother in a great abyss and wants to travel down that abyss to go and find her. The catch: You can't go back up without experiencing severe strains. The adventure really starts going in volume 2 though. Volume one is more for character and world building, so if you don't enjoy that as much, I advise you to keep going at least for one more volume. If you like the videogame setting, I recommend you read Solo Leveling. It's a Manhwa (Korean version of manga). It's about a weak boy who receives the power to get stronger, which no one else can do. Also, I'm glad you enjoyed reading Deadman Wonderland!

Hey, if you're pretty new to manga and want read more manga, please check some of these manga if you have time Dorohedoro Monster Kiseijuu (Parasyte) Claymore Tokyo Ghoul Yuu Yuu Hakusho Attack On Titan Death Note Akira Vinland Saga Hunter x Hunter Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind Trigun Black Lagoon One Outs Boku dake ga Inai Machi (ERASED) Rainbow: Nisha Rokubou no Shichinin Kingdom One Punch Man Mushishi Fullmetal Alchemist

I personally enjoy Haikyu over Slam Dunk

1:04:56 I was calmly listening and suddenly got hit by this damn brick, my god don't do it, audibly said a panicked NO! when I heard this lol

YES! Persona 5 and especially Persona 5 Royal is really good!

Well, I certainly hope you learned to appreciate Slam Dunk.

A lot of manga are based of light novels, I think the reason for that is, Its a cheaper way to see if the story will do well without having to actually draw anything. I enjoy light novels Usually It goes LN>Manga>Anime

Give slam dunk a chance is literally the greatest sport manga of all time.

If you're into baseball then I'd suggest Diamond no Ace. Beware, there are about 50 volumes in the first act alone!

I've been watching your manga vlogs recently and just caught up. I wonder if you've ever tried watching any anime movies? I would recommend watching A Silent Voice, Your Name and Wolf Children if you'd like to give it a try! They are wonderful films with great stories and I would love to hear your review on them. For manga, I think you will love Made in Abyss and Vinland Saga. Made in Abyss is my personal favorite, don't let the cutesy art fool you! I don't know if you'll ever get into the Light Novel or LitRPG rabbit hole but let me know if you need some recommendations ;)

Try some comedy manga. Some are pretty hilarious. I suggest "Grand Blue." It's about diving and college life.

I've read the first vol of doubt as well and meh, its average, its not great but its not bad either. No character really stands out to me. The idea is the thing that carries hard since its so interesting. Persona5 as someone that has never played the games so i wasn't biased, I think it was pretty good. If i were to rate it out of 10 I would give it a 7 or 8. Its a manga that really pulls you in so hard that you forget you're even reading.

You should def read berserk 🔥

You probably already saw the anime, but I really recommend Dragon Ball Reading the source material which has way better pacing, dialoge and consistent art is way better than watching the anime in my opinion.

BRUH I FRIK U NOT, I WAS THINKING THIS GUY PROBABL WOULD LIKE DOUBT, BUT ITS NOT REALLY THAT MAINSTREAM, AND THEN U JUST FISH IT OUT ...RESPECT MY DUDE edit: i read Doubt a long time ago so i dont know how it aged, kinda funny that u didnt like it and how spyxfamily overtook the first place ...which i can understand cause sxf is very wholesome ... also ur manga choices are very well spread in between genres ... very nice, i have read the merman one too and its very wholesome as well

Don't worry about the Spy x Family pronunciation It's like the Hunter x Hunter pronunciation debate again lmao anything is fine! Also, I recommend Pandora Hearts!

Read Frieren , Ascendance of a bookworm , Apothecary Diaries. All unique and masterful

The tom cruise movie is based on that manga!

Great video! love it, 👌 would recomend Bakuman if you want to get a vew into how a manga artist life goes, it´s from Takeshi Obata the ilustrator for All you need is kill, with his partner writer Tsugumi Ōba, also from them the better known Death Note, and you saw the manga in one of the shelves in this video: Platinum end. Also about Slum dunk my recomendation is to give it time till volume 3 to understand why everybody think it is so great, becaus it's greatness is more related to character growth, but as happens with it and ashita no Joe that are mostly considered as the best sports manga they are a bit old by now so they have their problems to get the interest of new readers, so to get into sports manga for new readers maybe Kuroko no basket, Hajime no ippo or eyeshied 21 would be my recomendation, just if you want some advise. last, the app: Shōnen Jump+, great recomendation to get to read manga.

Looking at your movie collection at the back, my best bet "BERSERK" and "GANTZ" is what you looking for, anyway nice content

you should read dragon ball or tokyo ghoul. those are good starter mangas imo

Hello, have you read Goblin Slayer yet? Did you make a video talking about it?

Clicked on this video out of curiosity I almost fell off my chair when I heard my song aroung 20:18

I want to recommend Tokyo ghoul it is one of my favorite manga of all time.

Did this ever get a part 2?

Read One Piece. I has officially beat Batman and is only below Superman in sales. It beat things like Harry Potter a long time ago. It is also a fantasy epic with high levels of details and world building on level with things like lord of the rings just a lot more absurdist and no medieval fantasy settings. It's long but great. Quick synopsis that tries not to spoil anything: Boy with stretchy powers wants to become the most free being in the world and he sets out to do that by becoming a pirate. Also digital subscription is cheaper way to read manga. And once you kinda find things you enjoy then you can buy physical volumes for rereading or reading the rest of it. But digital is a cheaper way to read quite a bit. Another suggestion for a shorter series: Promised Neverland. Seems like something you might find interesting. No summaries because the best way to enjoy that series is going in blind. Also here are some classic staples (giving recommendations with janky non-spoilery summaries that don't do any of these stories justice but made me giggle because in hindsight of what the actual stories are - some are kinda funny): Death Note - is a staple beginner manga recommendation for all demographics. Boy finds notebook that kills people. Fullmetal Alchemist - also a staple and on of the more beloved works that western audiences seem to enjoy that is complete. 2 alchemist brothers try to restore their lost bodyparts Skip Beat! - girl wants revenge but figures out she is actually talented and stuff. Nana - sex, drugs and rock'n'roll Eyeshield 21 - American football sports manga. Haikyu! - Volleyball sports manga Dororo - guy looking for his stolen bodyparts Gintama - samurai vs aliens comedy Jojo's Bizzarre adventures - I can't really summarize this one well with a few words. Assassination Classroom - all-powerful alien wants to find someone to kill him so he becomes a high school teacher. Hunter x Hunter - Boy goes on adventures to find his father Love is War - comedy romance where 2 main characters treat love like a series of epic war battles in a middle of some grand war. Monster - Neurosurgeon and a string of grizzly murders. My Hero Academia - superheroes, but in manga format. Also don't interact with that fan community - they scary. One Punch Man - what if you were the strongest superhero ever? Well, you would be bored. Overlord - Villain is the main character. He is also an undead skeleton. Also fanservice. Naruto - loud boy in bright orange is trying to be the best ninja ever. This all the ones I can think of in variety of genres off the top of my head that are fairly popular and are staples that get recommended. From comedy to horror to romance. Sometimes all at once. Also for different demographics.

U should pick up BLAME!

Felt the same way about slam dunk till I got to the final game. One of my favorite endings oat. The authors other work Vagabond blows it and 99% of other manga clear out the water. Vagabond is considered the peak of manga in terms of art and story. It's about the legendary swordsman Musashi. It's definitely required reading along with Berserk.

You don't have to like any manga, and I myself am not a fan of sports manga, but judging Slam Dunk only for the first volume is really not giving it a chance to shine. I'd not recommend it for fans of gruesome comics, but people who like holesome comics where there is competition and friendship (basically most normal shonens) it would be a hard one to miss.

Has anyone suggested One Piece yet? It's a series that is great at existential horror.

please dont buy to read, there are so many mangas free online, read a bunch then buy your favourite

check onepiece

One big advice for manga, manga is not like books, reading one volume means nothing, slam dunk for example I can't imagine judging the series by only one volume. So i suggest if you want to really see what a manga is about read a bit more

Look what you all did!! You turned this poor innocent man into a full blown Weeaboo! Are you happy now subscribers!! You turned another human to a weeaboo!
