Been reading it lately, and it helps reduce my scrolling time. I’ve hardly read any, so you can recommend really popular stuff, too.
I’ve read Vagabond, 20th Century Boys, Claymore (years ago), and some berserk. I just finished reading Teppu, which I thought was an interesting subversion of a lot of anime tropes. I also liked that it was a short run (only 8 volumes). I guess I like seinen, but I’ve also enjoyed josei like She Loves to Cook, and She Loves to Eat.
Anyway, no shonen please. Hard mode: please nothing about high school
I have a soft spot for the original Hellsing manga by kohta hirano
Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure is my personal favorite.
Dungeon Meishi for a recent one.
Otherwise my pick is Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood (my favorite anime/manga)
Hm, yeah, people do be talkin about dungeon meshi.
It’s ongoing, right? I have a habit when I read/watch something ongoing and I get to the point where the content runs out, and then I just forget about it and never go back
Nah the manga ended last year i think, its complete the anime is like the first half of the manga
I recently read Fullmetal Alchemist since a podcast I like was covering it, and it’s definitely one of the best “battle shonen” manga (especially considering that it’s like 27 or so volumes in a genre that has these endless books).
And the battle party is totally secondary to the story which has amazing political intrigue, government conspiracy and the nature of humanity.
Each character really brings something to the table and there are very few characters that I can’t remember. Lot of really good leftist reads of the series as well.
Would you like Manhwa? I like Ragnarok Into The Abyss. It’s so edgy it’s great and it has all the 90’s to early 2000’s anime tropes.
Ooh, I was obsessed with the MMO. I heard the anime was, like, terminally bad tho.
Would you say it’s actually well written or just kind of fun and entertaining?
Land of the lustrous
Set in a world inhabited by “jewel people”, it chronicles their efforts to find the place where they belong and defend their way of life
Sounds like Steven Universe anime? O.o
Seriously, this might be it, tho. Seinen, slick art, fighting girls, and it’s complete. Pretty much checking all my boxes.
