​@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.

Toilet bound hanako Kun is one of my favorite manga. I swear barely any of the series takes place in a bathroom. Also every book cover looks like a romance book cover…. I swear it’s not what you think. Yes there is a little romance but the friendships in the seires are more important then romance. As a artist I am in awe of the art style and shading and color styles of the manga. And I have the art book even. I’m up to date on the physical manga too!! The mystery is insane… also it gets pretty dark and good.

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...)

The first reaction to Oshi no Ko is quite the same to everybody, for me it was just so crazy i wanted to keep going out of curiosity. But for those that lost interest, just keep in mind that it's written by Akasaka Aka (Kaguya-sama) and Yokoyari Mengo (Kimi wa Midara, Scum's Wish), so you can expect decent drawings and S-tier writting.

i read the first 5 chapters of oshi no ko cause of this and honestly man, it’s really good, if you focus too hard on the premise of the first chapter then yeah it falls apart a little but i think it’s genuinely pretty funny and the core of it is sweet and i see the potential to take it into almost a sort of psychological drama direction? run on scentence but my point is oshi no ko is good actually i think you might’ve judged it a little too harshly a little too soon. this video is solid though, your editing style is really funny, you’ve got great comedic timing, and i’ve been inspired to read a handful of these 👍 edit: i’m now 17 chapters in and i’m fully convinced that oshi no ko is a masterpiece actually edit 2: alright i read all 82 chapters i stand by what i’ve said. it’s good. it’s solid. you have to do yourself the favour of reading til at least ch 10 cause that actually altered my brain chemistry. everything after that is a solid 7/10 with occasional moments that go hard and an interesting drama and some really funny bits but not as lifechanging tbh. still really good but goes in circles a little sometimes. all in all 73/49 pretty funny and surprisingly gripping despite and because of the insanity of the first chapter thanks for coming to my ted talk

[@romitalia3088]

I certainly wasn’t a fan after reading the first chapter but at the same it’s made by the author of Kaguya sama so I didn’t think it could be that bad.

[@mint.990]

@@romitalia3088 Yeah honestly the opening really throws you off and confused the hell out of me. I tried explaining it to a friend and genuinely couldn't. Once you get past all that stuff it goes in a really interesting direction going into the entertainment industry and stuff but the opening is wack.

[@antilo_3x]

THE FABLE is honestly such a good read. the characters and the story points feel so real at some points that its very easy to see them as people rather than characters, like even the most ridiculous aspects still maintain a level of realism thats refreshing and enticing

[@unenricheduranium194]

For Homestuck you actually started reading a different webcomic by the creator called bard quest. Although if you did read 5 "chapters" of Homestuck you would be looking at around 1932 to 4109 pages weather you count the intermission as a chapter and whether you count act 5 as two or one chapter

[@booboothefool3342]

Coming back to this video after a while, I gotta say my favorite new recommendation by you is unironically still Dog n-. Apart from the ridiculous name and premise, the story is entertaining, hillarious and the characters are relatable somewhat.

Surprised to see 'Worm' show up, but it's a welcome surprise. I haven't even read the actual story, not even a single chapter, but I'm a fan of it just because of the fanfictions I've read of it. The fandom has some amazingly creative writers who do amazing things with the source material. One day I'll read the actual story, I'm sure.

[@ardalidosfoundation7294]

General advice with worm: start skipping chapters when it becomes boring. And ignore Ward This is it i guess?

That's it folks!

[@Edwaaards.]

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”

The Girl From The Other Side is a beautiful manga, I always say it's like reading a fairytale dream. Like any good fairytale it has sadness and darkness underneath the ephemeral beauty, but above all else there is hope.

More recomendations: Try reading 'Pandora Hearts' (already finished) or 'The case study of vanitas' both from the same author 'Jun Mochizuki', a popular mangaka for its tragic and destroying stories (or at least for me, it's been 4 years till now since i first read pandora hearts and it still hurts)

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.

The technical ability to use the right tools properly is also very admirable, I would say that it’s actually more impressive

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]

Can you explain to me why the 20th Century Boys a good manga? I read a few chapters but still don't know where the story is headed. Can you spoil me a little so that I have an idea what's happening in the plot?

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

@@quantthefabulous7yearsago SPOILER:is A mystery, for every answer you will get more questions will come, and then slowly becomes a war between kenjis group vs the coult called "friend", and there are other mysteries, like Kanna's mother and father, the mysticism behind the friend. 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.
