This isn't a bad list honestly. People will find a way to hate though.

The lack of Berserk really rustled my weebies

You're gonna start World War III with what you did to One Piece

>no jjba ***sad trombone ***

Vice 2012 - the cannibal warlords of liberia Vice 2016 - top 5 manga of all time

Lone Wolf and Cub All the above manga have been published in English officially.

i was so jazzed when you said one piece. and then it was shiftily taken from me

I mistook this for mangos, yet I am pleasantly surprised

He should have named it " My top 5 manga of all time"

Who else pissed about berserk not being on the list?

Lol that was savage af what you did to one piece.

Disliked because no Cory in the House

my list of The Top 5 Manga Comics is 5- full metal alchemist 4- jojo's bizzare 3- death note 2- one piece 1- berserk

no jojos , no berserk, no ONE PIECE ..... the disrespect

This is a fantastic list, idk why people are disliking. I'll admit the shot at One piece was a little harsh but the points made are good.

This list seems pretty legit. For all those one piece fans out there, its not because its mainstream manga. It's because the quality just went to shit. They just wanna sell you more and more so they just keep pumping more and more filler stories as are so badly drawn I find it amazing people got fulfillment reading it. If you look closely enough, you will find bits and pieces of your favorite manga in the list.

Nobody knows Osamu Tezuka in this comments. Okay let me explain, if you wants know manga, you must know who he is. He is The Godfather of manga from Japan. Every manga stuff has started from him like how to draw or how to paint, he made the basic of Japanese manga. Every Japanese manga author respecting him. Even Akira Toriyama (author of Dragon ball). You must memorize it one thing, He is the god of manga.

as long as Dragon Ball was included in that list, i'm happy

1:33 Goku when he goes super "cyan"

BAHAHAHAHAHAHA That plot twist at the end FML....LONG LIVE ONE PIECE

I agree, Nausicaä is an incredible cinematic and literary masterpiece from the Great Miyazaki Hayao.

This list is very good and it included manga throughout the generations. You didn't go with the biggest titles of current manga series. I figured you'd have Akira in there (deservedly so) and I was so happy that Nausicaa was included as well. Both Akira and Nausicaa are more famous for the movies and most of the mainstream don't know unfortunately that there are much longer and in-depth manga stories. Well done. I have not read Lone Wolf, so now I will. I would probably include JoJo and Kochikame in the top 10.

Beserk?

Tbh i like this, he should make more videos

The video should have been titled “The Top 5 Classical Manga of All Time”.

Loved the selection!

The title is misleading it should be "Top 5 most important manga of all time"

all these kids need to recognise the godfather Osamu Tezuka

Great list

Great list.

When i clicked, i knew there gonna be rage in the comments, also, a lot of dislikes. I wasn't expecting anything from the video but the mangas mentioned seemed really artistic.

I'm glad you didn't let the negativity try to stop you! thanks for sharing the list.

Cool thanks for the vid!!!ther is a couple on your list i really want !!good list!!

I really liked this videos pace and the way Nick talked.

Actually this was a very good top 5. These are some of the most important/influencial manga of all time, indeed.

I think "Best" should have been replaced with "Most Influential." Like, don't get me wrong these are great classics, but manga have become better over time and just naming old classics as the best manga ever seems a bit biased. But, like he said, this list is subjective so its his opinion. And that last bit about "if your anime didn't make the list it probably wasn't that good," was probably to trigger everyone super hard into commenting so the video gets people active in the comment section... Oh and all the Berserk fans (including myself) just one thing to say... #Boatfam

Me: *totally distracted by the curly mustache*

I recommend Vagabond,Berserk,Gantz,Tokyo Ghoul and Parasyte for a more mature read

I was worried for a moment when he put One Piece at the top, but extremely relieved when he brought up Astro Boy and Osamu Tezuka instead. No hate towards One Piece, but I'm not only a huge Tezuka fan, but no matter if I liked his work or not he is incredibly important to anime and manga as we know it today. No well informed list or article about important manga would be complete without bringing up the work of Tezuka.

Thanks Nicholas for introducing me to lone wolf and cub...i only knew kazuo koike for his infamous lady snowblood (the manga that inspired Tarantino for that rather silly scene in the cotton field, blood spilled all over the flowers...) and for samurai executioner, but lone wolf & the cub has flown over my radar till now...

You thought it was one piece, but it was me, ASTROBOY

They did their research, love to see them go into Top 10 shonen, seinen, etc.

WHERE THE FUCK IS BERSERK!?!?!

Somehow Miyazaki's Cory in the House didn't make the cut? Fuck this. I'm out.

good list!

1: Oyasumi Punpun 2: Oyasumi Punpun 3: Oyasumi Punpun 4: Oyasumi Punpun 5: Oyasumi Punpun

Vagabond? where does that place?

great video … i actually liked the one piece troll at the end hahaha

great video

This is great I love it 😊

You are defiantly a Guru of manga you chose perfectly.

"super sien" what

I love that you added LWAC

good list

The manga that most inspired me is Hi no Tori (aka Phoenix) by Osamu Tezuka.

Can I hear more from Nick Gazin??? I love all comics and the dude seems right on

There were definitely other really good manga which might be better than some on the list but not so influential. each manga he showed were some crucial part of manga history...so pretty accurate list in my opinion...

I honestly laughed so hard on that One Piece prank you pulled. Got me good. I get it if you are not a fan. It is my most favorite series and I love the fact that some people shit on it. Really helps in letting me know who the patient readers are in the manga community.

I'd have to agree with this list. They probably are the top 5 most important manga. And that's saying a lot when considering that my favourites didn't make the list, but I still agree 100% that these are probably the most influential manga classics out there.

Oda actually really does appropriate Tezuka in so far as Tezuka pioneered retelling European fairy tales. Astro Boy is Pinocchio and so is Usopp. All of the main characters in One Piece have some basis in old fables.

i love how old mangas (ashita no joe, astro boy, budha, gundam) had really deep and serious stories with still very cute and cartoonish mikey mouse-ish drawings. also reminds me of patoruzu, a famous comic about a sudamerican indian chieff wich is with what I started reading comics as a little argentinian kid

Is the screen black for anyone else it's a weird glitch I've been getting

Where is Berserk ? Where is Berseeeeeeeeeerk ?

That.... was actually a pretty good list I was going to say something about how GitS should have been on there but I can admit it probably isn't one of the top 5 greatest.

This is actually a great list

The title should be most influential Manga

My Top Ten Manga: 1.Berserk 2.JoJo's Bizarre Adventure 3.Monster 4.Vinland Saga 5.Lone Wolf And Cub 6.Vagabond 7.20th Century Boys 8.Kingdom 9.Pluto 10.One Piece

Great list definitely the most influential manga, really good points made. The joke at the end tho lmao, doesn't change the fact that one piece is still the best selling manga in history not to mention second best comic behind superman.

This is actually a wonderful list. However, I’d place it in this order: Tezuka’s works, Akira, Nausicaä, Lone Wolf & Cub, and then maybe Dragon Ball

It’s funny how people complaining about one piece, jojo and berserk like please, can’t you see that the list he gave are the mangas that actually made huge marks at the manga industry?!

My personal top 5: 1) Berserk: Overall, Berserk is incredible. It’s art, the characters, story, setting, world building, and character development most importantly is what makes Berserk one of the best manga written and drawn. Though warning, it’s not for everyone! It’s extremely dark and has A LOT of gruesome scenes, like rape! 2) Vagabond: Absolutely beautifully drawn manga. Musashi is a great character, and the philosophy in the manga is absolutely brilliant. Seeing Musashi grow from a relentless killing machine to a wise man who learns from his actions is so well written! Sasaki is great too, especially in the mountain fight scene. Vagabond overall is beautiful, but the only problem is...it’s not finished. 3) Chainsaw Man: VVVRRRRRR VRRRRR VANVURGGGGEERRR...Chainsaw Man is great. ‘Nuff said. 4) JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run: Seeing the alternate version of Jonathon be this flawed, selfish, and disabled man who is learning to become a better human is absolutely beautifully written. The story is great, as it takes place in the cowboy era of Japan, and plus the president of the USA is the fucking main antagonist, and his fucking goals aren’t for selfish desires. Incredibly well written. 5) One Piece: 1000 chapters, but who cares? One Piece is known for its incredible world building, and characters. Luffy’s desires actually stem from something, and his attachment to his friends make even more sense when we see what happened during his childhood. Plus, it actually feels like a big world. Each island has very different cultures, some even calling things differently, since they were closed off from the world. Plus, you can tell Oda has planned the story with how many foreshadowing there is in a lot of the chapters. The quest to eventually find The Fabled One Piece has been long, but god dammit I don’t want to see it end! Honorable mentions: Kaguya: Love Is War: Its funny, and unlike many other comedy romance mangas, it doesn’t do overplayed cliches, and some actually good topics like, how a couple would react to sex and such. Inuyashiki: Another great one from the creator of gantz! Inuyashiki is simply great, and it’s a short read, but the story is thrilling! Mob Psycho 100: I like this one better than OPM! Mostly because of the fact that Mob actually feels like a teenager who aches to be popular, and struggles to change, all the while trying to contain his anger

Number 1 most influential manga of all time..... One Piece, just kidding it's Astro Boy Me- Ok Boomer

i also want to be a manga or comic book writer i need a guide line . please help me ...

Beserk. Devilman. Jojo. One piece. Evangelion. My list could go on.

My top 3 manga : 3. Dragon Ball 2. Death Note 1. One Piece

I think the list is pretty legit, but I think the 5 spot must have been hard. Akira Toriyama was very influential, but I think Hirohiko Araki has been more influential. Obviously I'm a little biased, but I think both Toriyama and Araki are responsible for the restructuring of manga from how characters were in the 80s to today.

You could've added "The Prince of Denmark's March" at the beginning.

Sounds like you need to read goodnight punpun and blood on the tracks. Absolutely loved those.

I was expecting Berserk...

wtf wheres captain underpants smh 😤😤😡

While I cannot possibly argue against the picks here, since all of these are kind of landmark mangas, but I think Naoki Urasawa can match any of these masters toe to toe, 20th century boys, Monster, Pluto all are insanely great with great often times thought provoking story lines and distinctive art work. Another artist currently working that I like is Kauru Mori, not only her art work is great but the genre she has decided to work on is so unique amongst mangakas it’s unbelievable!

Wow. I know this title says "Top 5" but he made it seem more like "most important" which is probably really accurate to which I am thoroughly surprised.

Everyone disliked this, but he was actually pretty much spot on, seeing how those titles basically pioneered the manga world. Of course there's other great manga out there, personally (One Punch Man) is a early game changer for me, but you lil cry babies need to get over yourself and realize these great masters works. Lmao.

my Favorite Anime are Seinfeld and Shrek

The problem with this is that there are thousands of manga out there and I doubt that he has seen all of them

Some of Jiro taniguchi's work should've been here. He is my favourite mangaka after all.

this is so random for vice but they showing love to the manga industry

Damn he played me for #1 . I got so hyped.

No Fruits Basket? 😔 I liked your use of the The Humming Chorus from Madame Butterfly tho

You’re probably right about the choices but my favorite one as to be Tokyo ghoul. It’s so interesting watching Kaneki’s path to madness during the whole series and the tragic ending

I know my picture profile can tell what I'm gonna say but where is Jojo's Bizarre Adventure it influenced more than Dragon ball

This list is pretty accurate. It's a list of the most important manga's that paved the way for all the others that we know and love today. They are all pioneers of a new art form that has grown tremendously. You might not like the list but the importance of these manga in the progression and popularization of manga in general can't be denied.

first time after a long time, someone giving truth about top mangas

So dope to see lone wolf and cub on this list

the one piece thing actually made me laugh out loud. decent list tbh

One Piece.

Dat moustache. I luv it😂

astroboy without a doubt is 10/10
