You should read more of Oshi no Ko. At least read it up to chapter 10, then you'll start to understand. No joke. Beyond the reincarnation thing, it's actually masterfully written. I had the same reaction as you when I first tried out this manga. Believe me when I say that if you continue reading it, that it might actually make it up to be one of your favorite manga stories. I can't actually tell you more without spoiling you hard on something you don't want to be spoiled for you.

​@No, that's wrong. Idk if you read the whole thing, I'm not gonna go deep into this either, but the story focuses a lot more on the dark side of the entertainment industry. It explores a lot of what popular people have to experience, from idols to tv dramas. One of the deepest arcs of the manga is Aquas, and do I need to explain everything he's going through cause he has a load of trauma in his palms right now-- This story does not focus on their reincarnation at all, there's a lot more going on if you look closely into it.

Tbhk is one of those mangas wich you can only understand after around 90 chapter or so (not even kidding by that) wich is why I get why some might think it's hard to get into for beginners. It's WAY TO F-ING PRETTY FOR ITS OWN GOOD I GIVE IT THAT THO. Even if you can't get itno the story, the art book is worth it for just how much eyecandy it gives. I don't think the new re-do of the anime will make it any better then the last time they tried since it's just way to long. I absoulutely love tbhk and it's one of the first ever mangas I've ever read and ever since then I was not able to finde anything better then that out there. There are some that come close to it like (personal preffrence and I know my opinion sucks but) Blue spring ride, nichijou, card captor sakura,and even komi can't communicate (sh*tty opinion but I also enjoyed white light ceremony a lot... and maybe fushigi yuji a lot too BUT THAT WAS LIKE WAY BACK AT THE START, NOW ITS JUST...yk...)

Anime recomendation: FLCL or Fooly Cooly or Furi Kuri. Tatsuki Fujimoto talked about it in one of his interviews and it had a lot of influence on his works. You can tell just by looking at the pacing and style of storytelling "show don't tell" this anime chooses to do. If you haven't yet, it has only 6 episodes and it is so gorgeosly well made that I downloaded every single one of them in my cellphone to rewatch and get inspiration on my free time.

Regarding Inio's artwork, those big city shots are actual photos in black and white (he fills it in so it looks more manga-like), so it's not like he's drawing all that. He's been using Unreal Engine too for some backgrounds. Still one of the best artists right now.

I agree on that Origin take, and it made me laugh out loud. The artist has some of the most striking art I've seen in manga. Good to know you'd already read Gantz.

20th century boys is one of my favorite manga ever, when it ended it filled me with the sort of pain that you have when you are at the end of a journey, the sort of feeling that if you recall back after years, it will fill you with a bittersweet sensation, after all the mysteries, after all the defeats and successes of the characters, I understood that this was not a simple story, it was way more than that, it was life. I'm not gonna lie when i read it for the first time i was a teenager full of himself and when read the end, it filled me with humbleness and I cried like a baby, I'm not gonna spoil the end but I'm just gonna say that the kind of crying I had it was only for this manga, I felt like some old man remembering when he was young, i understood that it will always remain into my heart. So yeah 20th century boys is decent.

[@quantthefabulous7yearsago]

What hits the most is that kenjis group is a bunch of broken people that has (almost) nothing to lose, and in the course of the story they get constantly humiliated by the intelligence of the "friend",especially kenji since after a while he's the one who got defeated and humiliated the most, there's more but that is the most I can say without spoiling too much. P.S. When I said that they gets defeated doesn't mean it's the finale, it's just thtt they gets some L's during the whole story.

7:53 "Do yourself a favor don't read this (Kedamono-Tachi no Jikan)" So anyway I started reading. Holy shit what a nightmare that was. Spoilers if you're curious: Basically, a girl gets kidnapped, raped and imprisoned by the stalker guy. He reveals that he was raped by his own mom. She reveals that she was raped by her own dad. Over the course of six months she gets stockholm syndrome and legit falls in love with him. Turns out, however, the guy is also a serial killer and she isn't his first victim. He goes to kill her. She ends up getting the upper hand, but she can't bring herself to kill him. FLASH FORWARD 2 YEARS LATER. You see her back to her modeling career. Living in this lovely house with her model husband. Only to reveal that they have been keeping serial killer kun alive with his limbs cut off in secret as their "pet" because she still can't bring herself to kill him. Things go south between her and the perfect husband and it turns out that she still loves serial killer kun. The end.

Duuuude someone recommended Worm? I actyally recommend reading the rest of Arc 1, because the FINAL chapter is just... the main character's father having a mental breakdown over the fact that his girl daughter is gone at 2 in the morning and it highlights the qualities of this author to intensify and perplex you with the mundane in his setting. That's my lad right there. Read the whole thing in 2013, been a fan of the author ever since. And cute fact: He has only IMPROVED in his writing. His most recent book is about three girls getting into a REALLY dark magic system that has every possibility of sending someone that uses it into fates worse than death at every turn, and the SCARIEST most uncomfortable chapters are just about the dynamic of one of these girls and her father at home. It is actually terrifying psychological torture.

[@lenabarendt1836]

If you want more recommendations: try "Hotel" by Boichi. It is a collection of a few sci-fi stories but the main one broke me. It is a seriously underestimated manga. The main story is only one chapter long but so very good. Boichi later re-drew it into a 3 chapter story - which if you find it is even better. Do yourself a favour and check it out ;)
