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.

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...)

Pumpkin night starts with a very good story, but around the latest chapters ( between 50 or 60 chapters I can't remember) it goes completely off the rail and it become about mental hospitals, inhuman experiments ,supper natural powers and femboy hackers , you'd forget that the manga was even about revenge and highschool

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.

If I had the chance to give a recommendation, I’d like to recommend “Love advice from the great duke of hell”. The webtoon was hilarious backed with great comedy and somewhat interesting plot. The story is just like a straight up “wtf is happening” to “oh yeah that makes sense, but still, wtf”

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.

Honestly I'd really recommend Hanako-kun, it's a very good work! The story is definitely its forte, impressive at every turn and deeper than expected, but for me the heart are the characters and their struggles/themes. Kou is one of my favorite fictional characters ever, I love him.

20th Century Boys (and it's sequel 21st Century Boys) is really good. It kind of messes with your head at first, but the more you read, the more things start making sense. It's a masterpiece. I would like to recommend "DICE - The Cube That Changes Everything" for you to read.

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]

@@quantthefabulous7yearsago well what's really cool is the mystery of who is friend ( it's friend right ?

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.

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.

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.

[@brutanedda3107]

Inside Mari is so underrated. When talking about Shuzo Oshimi everybody talks about Aku No Hana or Chi no Wadachi, which are of course masterpieces of their own, but the way Inside Mari is written really builds up the plot twist on an intimate and personal level. While he says that it talks about loliness in college, I think it more relates to a feel of alienation of high school students in Japan, something more similar to Love & Pop by Hideaki Anno than anything else. The darkness hidden beyond that period of life, the perversion and how the catharsis is delivered is so beautiful in my opinion, it can be interpreted as a heartful Bildungsroman in a way. Chi no Wadachi is Oshimi's magnum opus though, there's nothing to say about that

[@catdave2383]
