Just sharing a fact: Urasawa actually has a co-author called Takashi Nagasaki. If you look at the manga prints you can see his name is always there but no one praises him. I wish they'd credit the man too, because as for the story he contributed in some way, otherwise his name wouldn't be there.

Naoki Urasawa just casually created 3 masterpieces

20th Century Boys absolutely insane, blew my mind almost each 4 chapters or so. Highly recommend!

He created masterpiece after masterpiece whenever he feel like it. What a genius

The fact that he created monster and 20th century boys at the same time (kind of) is bonkers. Like creating two masterpieces like that with overlapping schedules , how do you do that?

20th Century Boys blew my mind, the characters feel so human/real and his drawing has a high emotional impact. What a masterpiece !

I don't personally think he is the greatest, but Naoki Urasawa is proof that we don't need a ''Citizen Kane'' of manga. We have 20th Century Boys.

Bruh who didn't like monster ending. I think ending was what made me think it is one of the goated manga of all time.

I wholeheartedly support this message

*Sees title* rubs hands *Sees thumbnail* hand rubbing intensifies Subarashii.

20th Century Boys has some of the most consistent and intriguing writing out of all the manga I have read.

Naoki Urasawa can’t get enough praise for his work. He is the master of the thriller/mystery genre.

Urasawa is definitely one of the GOATs of manga. Alongside the mangaka you have mentioned (Miura, Inoue, Oda), I think Togashi also needs to be mentioned as well despite the hiatus that has been going on with HxH especially the antagonists he created within YYH and HxH. Also I love Araki for his growth as an writer going from Parts 1-6 to Parts 7 and 8 (even though I also love his previous parts as well).

8:10 nah u good fam we are totally with u on this. The reason Jojo fans love part 7 and 8 is because it symbolizes Araki's initiation into the league of incredible mangaka (like Urasawa). I think most people who have read Urasawa's works and part 7/8 of Jojo would agree with you on your thoughts.

He announced he’s working on an anime!

20th century boy, Monster and Pluto has impacted me in a way which is hard to describe. I was at my local library during my senior years in high-school and I saw my mate reading 20th century boy ... I asked what he was reading and he simply said "A masterpiece". He wouldn't spoil anything but he lent me the 16 volumes (which was extremely heavy to carry on my back home from the bus station 😂) and said I would be glad that I took them all and not only the first volume. ... he was right... I needed to know what was the ending and the conclusion to many of the mystery that was being introduced every chapter! I went on to read his other stuff after enjoying 20th century boy. Monster and Pluto were absolute masterpiece. I wish Pluto was a bit longer but other than that... *Masterpiece*

I actually like monsters ending it ended like it started in mystery also it was the first time I ever got jump scared by a manga

Read Blue Lock next, it's from the same guy Who did Jagaan

Are we just going to forget Osamu Tezuka? Literally named the godfather of manga for the sheer amount of influence he has had on every single generation of manga coming forward, creating many masterpieces and over 400 volumes of manga, and even shaping the world of anime somewhat....

If this man had a good editor he would be huge. Sometimes I just listen to his videos instead of watching.

Yo Naoki Urusawa is the GOAT. My first manga ever was Monster and jesus christ, I was left speechless and blown away. I proceeded to read all of his other works and god damn, I was having a hard time liking other mangas afterwards because everything else wasn't as good as any of Urusawa's works. Monster, 20th CB, Master Keaton, Pluto, BB, and etc. isn't just like reading any other manga or watching any other anime, it's just something else on a whole other tier of itself.

Monster actually just has the best and most interesting characterisation. I'm glad u mentioned the side characters cause they can often get overshadowed by Johan and Tenma but a lot of them are actually fantastic

Me: sees the title and thumbnail Also me: YES

I bought the complete monster manga. You can imagine my disappointment when, upon opening the first volume, I discovered I had bought a Japanese publication of it. Great vid as always masked man

Fun Fact: Urasawa is making his own anime soon. Also day 23 (I think) of asking Masked to read the Pokemon Adventures manga.

This was a good video. I had already saw Monster. Will be checking the others work of him.

What about Osamu Tezuka!? He made over 900 different series. He's been the most consistent and a majority of the manga he writes are absolutely incredible! Pheonix is arguably the best manga I've ever read. But yeah Tezuka is the guy who basically innovate the medium and created the medium basically. So yeah these guys are great but Tezuka is the goat and the major inspiration behind Naoki Urasawa.

I'm glad you introduced me to 20th century boys it was a phenomenal read

Go Nagai bro, Devilman is a masterpiece, and everything else he made inspired many of the new masterpieces

Always killing it🔥Keep it up✊🏽

The only creator whose manga I actually have physical copies of 🤷🏻‍♂️

It's amazing that he has more than one amazing series. This guy is such a work horse

Naoki urasawa deserves the goat title alone for monster. That anime still gives me goosebumps everytime i remember it.

Monster is a masterpiece

The man never stops working but all of his works are absolute masterpieces of art and story I don't care much for Akira Toriyama, Hirohiko Araki or any other Shounen Manga artist but something about Naoki Urasawa drew me to him his characters are real and I can see myself in some of the characters he's created he's an absolute genius and I do look forward to more of his works in the future

I love 20th Century Boys and the sequel. And I know about it from this channel. Thank you so much for the recommendation.

Best thumbnail so far

And when the greatest mangaka praises chainsaw man, you know he got taste

Yes! so happy to see this video. Love Urasawa. Read Usagi Yojimbo tho.

Hey mask I just finished monster today thx for introduced me to his work

Dude ur thumbnails are always so sick it makes me wanna click the vid

Day 8 of recommending Ashita no Joe to the Masked Man

Naoki Urasawa is definitely the best mangaka: Pluto, Monster, 20th Century Boys, that record is sufficient

I been a long time fan of yours

Nice work bro

Binged it in one day. Added a lot of new music to my playlist.

I’ve been reading the 20th Century Boys Perfect Edition volumes as they have released and I have absolutely loved the series. Just purchased the entire Pluto series two days ago, can’t wait to read that as well!

Noaki Urasawa is definitely great, such a consistent body of work, Monster, Master Keaton, Pluto, 20th Century Boys and Billy Bat.

20th Century Boys will forever be my favorite manga

you got to start reading some Adachi Mitsuru stuff cuz he has done some great mangas but his mangas aren't brought up at all on anybody's list like he is criminally underrated, seriously recommend to check his stuff out

i agree...the works are phenomenal ...yet i wanna give this argument for ODA , 1st if ODA would make like short/medium Manga he would create masterpieces, 2nd to make a manga with 1000 chapter and with a WEEKLY base and keep it decent...um that's not to be slept on..., so if ODA would work like Miura for example i think he will KILL IT.

Inoue is the only person who can go on par with Urosawa based on the amount of different masterpieces they managed to create troughout their awesome careers

Urasawa is the greatest mangaka, Oda is the greatest story teller and Miura is the greatest Idolmaster player.

Alright, just watched your most recent video on Berserks lost children Arc. I then went to youtubes search bar and searched “Noaki Urasawa” because hes literally my favorite mangaka of all time. As a young boy, i collected his “20th century boys” series in its entirety. I applaud you for having this video pop up when I went to quench my Urasawa itch. Godspeed.

I aspire to write masterpieces like Urasawa Naoki sensei someday. That's what drives me to study Japanese so freaking hard every day. This man is one of my greatest inspirations of all time. ありがとう、先生。🔥🔥🔥

Man, I totally agree on everything you said. The guy literally blew my mind after reading 20th & monster and every freaking time people ask me for recommendation I often suggest reading Urasawa works 100% though most of the time people just shove it to the ground and forget it. Its their loss not reading a hell of a kind manga.

Love to see it

Oda made other works, but they were mostly one shots

Pluto is my favorite work of his hands down such a pivotal story

Day 3 of recommending Houseki no kuni to the Masked Man.

I would also consider Togashi as one of the best mangaka, he has made two of the best shonen ever.

I remember me reading Billy Bat through the night, that was the best week of my life ☕

Your crazy with that list

I just started his works with 20th century boys, mind you I’m new to manga. I think this is one of the very very few manga that makes me feel stuff . I have read a lot of fantastic novels but only one other work of fiction has made me stand up from my chair and shout “oh SH*T”.

Agreed Also, you should review Kaiji (watch the anime first but you can start with the manga), even if there's this touch of "not realistic" it has a certain social message about the poor and the rich and stuff like that

make sure to read kokou no hito at some point in ur life dude gonna give u the feels of punpun at some points also the art work.... u GONNA LOVE IT for sure

Masked man is making a manga version of the “Making The Case” series on youtube

Yes Finally Naoki Urasawa Gotta admit you are helping the community to look for quality manga. Love your content . you don't hype something and states just the fact. What are you gonna do next after you have done all the mangas? By the way have you checked Boichi the writer of Sun Ken Rock and Dr. Stone has published a chapter of Story of Ace (A deceased character in one piece). In that Whitebeard in a close panel look sick.

Naoki Urasawa: the Stephen King of Japan. Kentaro Miura: the George R.R. Martin of Japan. Junji Ito: the H.P. Lovecraft of Japan.

I agree with you on this one. Tbh the only ones who can truly reclaim the title of "GOAT Mangaka" are Urasawa and Inuoe given how both created multiple masterpieces, proving their talent with their works not just once but several times.

You know, I tried 20th century boys, wasn't sure if it was for me even if it was objectively good, but ahhh ok.man You've made a believer out of me. I'll try this dudes stuff again!

I wish 20th century boys would get an adaptation

Yeah urasawa naoki is one of the best mangakas out there Also day 8 of recommending rurouni kenshin

I recently finished Monster and absolutely loved it. I'm currently reading 20th Century Boys and Asadora and I'm enjoying both of those as well. I like One Piece but I LOVE everything I've read so far by Urasawa. I really want to check out Pluto next.

Asadora is also pretty great from what I've read. Though it doesn't really have a central antagonist like all of Urasawa's other works.

Fire after fire after fire after fire... Nothing beats him, seriously.

ayee lets goo

You should also read "happy" which is from Urasawa as well. It's a sports manga about tennis and it is rather lighthearted in comparison to the other works from your list. In my opinion the biggest strength of this story are the characters.

You might be spitting. Urasawa is a legend in creating classics. I still need to read Pluto and Billy Bat. Also check out To you, The Immortal

this video is dedicated to me frfr

Not just one of the greatest mangaka of all time, but one of the greatest fictional authors of all time

I just finished monster. Urasawa is great

I finished “Monster” two weeks ago and it was amazing, the characters are all well written. And I just finished “20th Century Boys” and “21st Century Boys”, it was also amazing and I love how Naoki Urasawa’s stories focus on human nature and children.

Naoki Urasawa is legend ❤❤❤❤

Will anyone believe me if I said that Naoki Urasawa is supervising a huge anime project? It’s official and I think its either gonna be Pluto or 20th Century Boys!

Naoki Urasawa is a legend

I'm on episode 11 of Monster I hope it as a good ending. So far it's pretty interesting, haven't yet seen what's so great about it but I'm pretty sure I haven't gotten to the good stuff yet.

@The Masked Man what manga should I read next? monster, 20th century boys, jojolion, attack on titan, chainsaw man, or GTO? which one of these you is the best?

I'm impressed how fast you read.

I just finished 20th century boys like 5 days ago and man this is just a master peice.

Naoki Urasawa and Araki are the best mangakas when it comes to consistency and komplex works

Hope you're having a good day Mask!

Pluto was phenomenal

Off-topic but you made me read Vagabond and I read up to the latest chapter in a week 😭and now i'm empty cause the manga is never gonna finish 😭😭

I’m too keen for Naoki’s new anime!!!

20th Century Boys, Billy Bat and Monster is masterpiece

Urasawa is undoubtedly my favourite mangaka... monster is my favourite manga and 20th CB is third , also looking forward to reading billy bat and pluto

urasawa is the goat, mans doesnt miss

Mask, ye or ne, will a full manga review for Claymore be eligible for expectance?

After seeing 20th century boys being recommended as a manga nonstop i went ahead and read it and i was just blown away at how fucking good it was and then i heard people talk about his other work Monster and so i immediately went and read that after and i thought it was even better. Im now going to read Pluto and Billybat because this fucking guy just does not miss at all
