Off course!

I liked reading "nito no joreishi" a bit, the author is definitely an empty shell of a human being just like me , the art is good also, it will never end though.
I guess that I like action manga, the more violent, gory and "fair" (a manga about torture would be no good) the better .

>>2048
That makes sense!

This thread motivated me to find a manga series to read and I started reading Shigurui Death Frenzy. It's so intriguing

Finished reading Shigurui Death Frenzy! Unarguably a very intense masterpiece

>>2079
Amazing!

I made a free account of Comic FUZ to give some wholesome Kirara comics a try

I've been reading Chainsawman, since I wanted to continue where I left off.
I also use Mangazone to read manga too.

>>2088
Awesome!

I started reading more than five wholesome comics on FUZ including Shamiko's one
It's my first time to read Shamiko's original comic and it makes me want to rewatch the anime

>>2088
>Chainsaw Man
Another series I'm thinking of trying my hand at someday

Is there anything good to read?

i love reading azumanga daioh all the time

>>2105
Nice picture!

>>2100
Among the Kirara comics I started reading recently, I was impressed by Shiawase Tori-ming, a bird watching cgdct.
Hidamari Sketch and Machikado Mazoku are as nice as their anime adaptations too

Outside cgdct, Shigurui is the only manga I recently finished reading and it was great as I mentioned in >>2050 >>2079

>>2105
I only watched the anime and I've never read the original comic

>>2128
Holy based!

I've been reading Kinmoza because it seems like I can read all the volumes on their official app FUZ Comic for free
I should add more Kinmoza emotes

>>2025
Yes right now I’m reading Vinland Saga.
I wish there were more historical anime or manga like a manga set in the Peloponnesian War, Julius Caesar’s life, Hundred Years’ War, or the Jomon period

I think there can be a lot of interesting stories made set in the ancient world. You can even make it into an Isekai.

>>2187
Amazing!

I've slowed way down on watching anime, and have been reading a lot more manga lately. Ika Musume has been very cute so far, and I recently finished Siscon Ani to Brocon Imouto ga Shoujiki ni Nattara which was a surprisingly pleasant and wholesome read! Assuming you're into that sort of subgenre anyway :)

>>2286
Informative picture!

I've been reading Super Cub (with which you can go anywhere you want). Liking it a lot. Also got caught up with Mieruko recently.

>>2288
Excellent!

Finished reading Kinmoza!
I should have read it all earlier since the substance of it that advocates transnational cultural exchange clearly proves it to be a quintessential work to energize the spirit of this board

>>2187
I believe there are many historical manga series, though neither can I name a lot

>>2286
>I've slowed way down on watching anime, and have been reading a lot more manga lately
It has occurred to me recently that I should rather be more inclined to read manga than watching anime because in the era of media saturation monochromatic comics are less likely to inflict sensory overload on me

>Ika Musume
I'm nostalgic about it, I wasn't watching the anime when it was a thing though I was aware of it
Because you mentioned it, I've just started reading it in the hope that it will succeed Kinmoza for me to amuse me in a similar wholesome way

>>2288
Nice! I think I've heard of that title

Yes!

On a recent trip to Dublin, I visited a comic shop to see what they had and was surprised to find a stray single of Black Jack. neatly tucked into the corner next to full shelf of death note volumes. I loved Tezuka, just had to have it. Even if the cover (pic attached) is super ugly. I didn't go into that store expecting to buy anything, but when I left I had about, 100 euro worth of books in my bag. I read it shortly thereafter whilst on the train back home, an old woman sitting across from me was curious about what I was reading. I said a comic book, she asked if she could see. I gave it to her, and she opened to a page of Black Jack assembling Pinoko's body parts she was very taken back, I felt super embarrassed in that moment.


So, the book itself. If you don't know, which if id be very surprised if you're on a site like this LOL. Black Jack is about an unlicensed doctor, and his adoptive daughter/assistant Pinoko, going on medical adventures, usually involving a tragic backstory or a supernatural illness. Every chapter is self-contained, and is around 20 pages each. Its quite cartoony, but can really get horrific at times as well. I highly recommend for anyone getting into Tezuka Biography and or showa era animanga.

>>2303
Big if true!

>>2292
I found some while searching a while back

There's a manga called Historie on Alexander the Great and there was actually an anime announced for it a week ago. It's exactly what I was looking for!

There's also another manga called Afghanis-tan. It's really short. It's more of a history lesson, but it's still good and it has cute girls.

>>2326
You are right!

>>2303
Thank you for relating the fun and wholesome story! It sounded like a travel book to me, primarily because of Frankenstein
And I'm sorry you felt embarrassed

It's cool that you are acquainted with Tezuka manga! I remember enjoying the tv anime series of Black Jack very long ago and vaguely remember a few episodes including the origin story of Pinoko, but I've never read the manga itself
I also remember in my childhood I was scared of an older anime series of it directed by Osamu Dezaki because it had a more frightening atmosphere than the tv series!

It's fun learning which manga titles are being shelved in foreign bookstores, especially in Dublin where I have no clue. I could have expected Death Note to be sidelined rather than Black Jack

I guess most older people in Japan know well about Black Jack since it's a classic series, so your anecdote with an old lady was somewhat refreshing to hear
It would be wonderful if the experience of her had kindled her interest and made her a Tezuka fan

>>2326
>There's a manga called Historie
It looks familiar to me! I've seen this panel from it as a popular meme, it's the only thing I know of it
I should give it a try to figure out what was happening in this scene, thank you for sharing it!

>There's also another manga called Afghanis-tan
I remember anime style anthropomorphism was popular at that time like Hetalia and OS-tans but I've never heard of that one!

>>2345
Nice 2345
>Thank you for relating the fun and wholesome story! It sounded like a travel book to me
You're welcome!
>primarily because of Frankenstein
Speaking of Frankenstein. I've picked up a copy, and I've begun reading through it. It has been years, since I had first read it. So I'm very excited.
> I remember enjoying the tv anime series of Black Jack very long ago and vaguely remember a few episodes including the origin story of Pinoko
I know what series you're speaking about, I like it as well! It's closer to the source material, than the osamu dezaki version you mentioned being scared of. The Dezaki version was my introduction to black jack, i think its great!
>It's fun learning which manga titles are being shelved in foreign bookstores, especially in Dublin
Its mainly very popular Shonen titles, with some other titles like the work of junji ito. You wouldn't find any slice of life titles or the like, at any place I've been to. So I don't think youd find much that'd interest you over here, lol.

Another thing you wouldn't find is any Bande Dessinée (European comics, if you don't know) Which, for me personally is very disappointing. I wish BDs were more popular, not only in Ireland, but the entire world.

>It would be wonderful if the experience of her had kindled her interest and made her a Tezuka fan
That would've been funny to imagine, lol.
