Re: Favorite Manga?
I definitely think Made In Abyss is the best manga series I've ever read. A good seinen for anyone who likes dark, mysterious, tragedy, and borderline controversial :3

Re: Favorite Manga?
VERY IMPORTANT EDIT: I almost forgot. Absolutely check out Gal Cleaning! It's a fucking rollercoaster of emotions for all the wrong reasons. The plot itself is actually surprisingly interesting: the MC is forced to live with this spacey gal character, which sounds generic but the MC doesn't give a fuck about her and only cares about cleaning up the messes she makes in his house. The dude is just a master at cleaning his house. That's his thing. Entire chapters dedicated to "oh no, how do I get this juice stain out of my blouse?" and then him explaining the God-given blessing of lemon water and baking soda. He's the goddamn Sherlock Holmes of housekeeping. The manga is wholesome, informational as fuck and the MC is a massive chad. Unfortunately the publishers announced they'd be axing the series after its conclusion due to low sales. This announcement occurred partway through the syndication and... uh, the mangaka had a fucking SEISMIC MELTDOWN at the news. There's literally no other way I can describe it. The ending of the manga goes off the fucking rails, driving the readers into the realm of LEGENDARY BAD. You will notice that the MyAnimeList posting tells you the manga has 25 chapters. You will also notice that the manga itself only goes up to "Chapter 10." Why is this, you might ask. The answer is because Chapter 8 is actually 15 chapters long. It starts at "Chapter 8" and ends on "Chapter 8.99." I'm not fucking with you. How do you prevent your manga from being cancelled? Easy, make it such that it never fucking ends, give us the Sexual Horror equivalent of Haruhi's Endless Eight. And yeah, throughout Chapter 8 we get to see the mangaka losing his goddamn mind in real-time, all while we're subjected to absolute storytelling ASS. As an experience, reading Gal Cleaning! Chapter 8 is like reading the entirety of Berserk's Golden Age Arc except every character is fucking Casca. I had the absolute pleasure of witnessing this disaster as it unfolded in real-time, and I had a support group of some IRL friends to weaken the impact. It's the manga equivalent of watching a squirrel get run over by an 18-wheeler and staring at its dismembered lower-half, just waiting for it to stop twitching. There's just... nothing like it. This dude from the MAL forums described it best: Quote:
DOUBLE EDIT: I turned this into an actual MAL review because fuck it, nothing actually matters

Buccellati and Narancia are the best two characters from Part 5. All time favorite Jojo character? not sure atm. Buccellati, Rohan, Gyro, Joseph, and Okuyasu come to mind as particularly enjoyable though. (it's probably Bruno tbf) |

Re: Favorite Manga?
late af answering, but it's a Seinen portrayed as a Shonen initially. Some content could be considered Gekiga (strictly adult content, think berserk).
Obviously gets controversial when it looks like PG13 content and then it escalates to 18+ content. Last edited by gold stinger; 05-24-2020 at 10:07 PM.. |

As long as it doesn't have female nipples or male/female genitals, then it's good under Japan's laws. Lots of series abuse that trick.

Re: Favorite Manga?
I actually started reading Berserk. Amazon was selling the Deluxe Editions at pretty solid prices and I decided it was time to see what the deal was.
Holy fuck I don't know if I saw DBP's Gal Cleaning edit but remind me in a few months to check that shit out if I don't post about it. |

Re: Favorite Manga?
I am sure I've posted here before about my many rated 18+ manga
Dance in the Vampire Bund is a fantastic read EDIT: I have indeed mentioned Dance in the Vampire Bund. Oh well. I guess I've been sucked into the world of doujinshi lately, original works are fun to read

Re: Favorite Manga?
Fullmetal Alchemist is my all time favorite manga.
It's the story of two brothers living in a world where Alchemy is a real working magical form of science. They are on a quest to find the philosopher stone, an item that is said to give unlimited material for creating things with alchemy. They want this stone because they lost their body parts in a failed alchemy experiment when they were children and now need the stone to get them back. During their search they meet a lot of interesting people and uncover a conspiracy surrounding he military controlling the country. It's the best story I've ever read. The characters are memorable, the ideas are unique and the writing is amazing. |
