I Started Reading Manga And I Can't Stop

Welcome to Comic Casper, and today we will be talking about how I started reading manga, and find that I can't stop.
#comics #comicbooks #manga
Thank you for watching, much love, and always happy to hear from fellow comic book enthusiasts.
I will catch you as often as I can.

[@josepicadozumbado689]

I dont know if it has been explained in the comments here, but the reason why the art for Choujin X sometimes is weird is because Sui Ishida is drawing the manga alone with no assistants in the manga. Mangakas generally have assistants that helps with aspects of the art, as inking, background details, etc. so maybe is so much work for Sui ishida alone

[@comiccasper3053]

Wow, that is a fascinating fact, I had no idea the poor guy has been slaving away solo. This explains a lot, mad respect to him, I hope he dosen't overwork himself into the ground. It would be nice to see what he could do with some exceptional support.

[@audax_]

@@comiccasper3053 he isn't slaving away really, he chose to create this story all by himself so he has complete control over deadlines, structure and minor details. He has some interviews where he felt burnt out and dissatisfied with tokyo ghoul because of the super strict deadlines and having to supervise other people. As for the artwork, it's definitely a stylistic choice. When it's sketchy most often than not is for comedic effect or to represent some feeling or state of mind. The freedom of style is one of Choujin X`s strengths (and the story REALLY picks up from volume 3 onward with Tokio maturing into an outstanding main character)

[@nozarashi4329]

@@comiccasper3053 I gotta say I think both the art and the characters improve as the story goes on, it goes in a very interesting direction in my opinion. I'd also recommend checking out his original work, Tokyo Ghoul!

That was a good video. My recommendation is "Claymore." It's often described as similar to Berserk. By the way, I imagine that one video per review of 14 works is a heavy burden for the creator. Other people usually only do one video per review of one work.

[@narmattaru2711]

I’m glad you enjoyed and talked about Black Lagoon, I see many people talk about the anime but never the manga. Which sucks cuz its my favourite manga series of all time and i find it way better than the anime. The reason for the delay is because of Rei Hiroe’s struggle with depression, during the writing of it’s longest arc (from the end of volume 6 to 9) it really took a toll on him and you can feel it in the brutal artstyle and storytelling in that arc. After that he took a really long hiatus from the series and decides to take his time with the story nowadays.

[@comiccasper3053]

Great to see another fan of Black Lagoon. It breaks my heart knowing the struggle Rei has faced. I hope he finds peace amongst his internal conflict, and he continues to be rewarded accordingly for his awesome creation.

I have 2 recommendations for u, however I know for a fact one of them doesn't have an english physical release (meaning you would need to read it online which is usually my prefered reading method) and the other im not too sure if it does. Their names are Usogui and Umineko. Definitely within the top 10 of all time within manga. Usogui starts off a bit slow but by the end you will be in awe and Umineko also starts a little slow and weird but by the end you will again be in awe. If you are planning to read a big series and you are ready for something heavy hitting i would definitely have these at high priority imo.

[@comiccasper3053]

As a lot of people recommended Vagabond i wont say mutch about it, but its really worth Reading and has amazing Artwork + Great Story. Good Night punpun: thats up there in my Ranking of best stories i have ever read. I think you have to give it some time but it excells in terms of Story, Art and Character depth/development. But be prepared, because on an emotional Level this one Hits Like a Truck speeding on the Highway expacially in the last few volumes Dorohedoro: Amazing world Building with this one. Awesome Story that really ties the knots. Also extremly funny and all in all a Great read. The Climber: there will be soon an english release and i couldnt be hyped more. This is one of my favorite stories period. It may Seem a bit bland at First because the writer switches After like 30 Chapters but then it goes south real quick. A story about a Young man that is completly done with life that finds Passion in mountain climbing that reignites his life. Green Blood: i dont know if there is an the english release. Its a Western Story about 2 Brothers that grow up in a ghetto in newyork. Probably my favorite artstyle in all of Manga. It has cowboys, Action and is a quick read with like 50 chapters. Homunculus: one of the more disturbing reads ive had. Homeles guy gets hole drilled into his Head and Starts Seeing peoples mental Problems in real life. Of course he goes completly nuts. Also you could Read any story by naoki urasawa: Monster, 20th century boys, Pluto… this List goes on. He may be the Best storyteller in the Manga Medium and Crafts the Most entriging murder mysteries you could Never Imagine

[@comiccasper3053]

If you do start reading Tokyo Ghoul, I’d love to see your opinion on it. It is my favorite manga because of many reasons. The artwork, the story, plot, characters, character development are all phenomenal. The manga is a tragedy, which is stated near the beginning so it’ll have some darker themes (not as dark as Berserk) and some pretty emotionally intense moments. The sequel of the original series, Tokyo Ghoul :re, is just as good, if not better with almost everything being improved, even the artwork.. somehow.

Some more recommendations! Undead Unluck - Easily my favorite ongoing manga right now. It has insane worldbuilding and character development, especially from whom I consider the best female protagonist in animanga. Though it does take a bit for the story to get going, and the first chapters may give you a wrong idea on what it's like due to some fanservice-y scenes that the author completely gets rid of after a short while. Yakuza Reincarnation - I am probably one of the 3 people who ever read it, but it's awesome. It is about an old yakuza leader who gets reincarnated into the body of a princess in a fantasy world. The art is absolutely gorgeous, the action and comedy is great, and it's largely about stopping the trade of magical cocaine which is just hilarious to me. The way the protagonist talks and interacts with others is also just a treat, it actually feels like an old man speaking through a young girl, and it's not like his personality ever really changed because of it. Dandadan - Really endearing and fun story about two teens who find out both aliens and evil spirits exist, and awaken powers of their own. The characters and comedy is amazing, with some insane art. And I love the romance between the main characters. Dr. Stone - Drawn by Boichi from Origin, this story is about rebuilding humanity from nothing. It has great characters and conflicts, with of course Boichi's insanely good art. Aside from that, I also just recommend picking up more volumes for the ones you read here, even Choujin X, as I think it is genuinely a really good and interesting story. Though I understand your dislikes and concerns with it.

hey you should pick up Noise by tsutomo Nihei after reading all of blame!, as its a prequel of sorts for blame. helps establish the world, and what's happened to it. also as a comic fan did you know Nihei also did a wolverine story???. yes marvel wolverine. its called "SNIKT". its also excellent. its a what if story like wonder woman dead earth. And Choujin X is phenomenal so far. I have a feeling it will be in my top ten by the time the series finishes up. its written and drawn by Sui Ishida, who also wrote Tokyo ghoul its amazing. also I cannot believe you didn't enjoy Choujin X its fantastic. Tokio is an amazing protagonist. you need to read Tokyo ghoul stop reading Choujin because I don't think you get it. Unfortunately the Hellsing deluxes are not the best way to read Hellsing anymore, as Kohta Hirano had the series reprinted as he read the english translation of the series in the deluxe format and was appalled that they ruined his story and misinterpreted a good amount of the story. so if you want to actually READ hellsing. sorry you gotta but the new paperback reprints.

as someone who's been in the weeb culture for a long time. My recommendation is to expand beyond the shounen and seinen genre. Yes you have only scratched the surface of those two but manga can offer life changing, cry inducing, depressing, motivational and many more feelings that is not just thriller, hype and action packed. I am sure many people in here have already given you a "few" recommendation. Just wanted you to explore the manga world and not be stuck to the genres you already have been diving into

[@comiccasper3053]

Some words of wisdom right there, expanding on my horizons is definetly a good idea. I will keep my mind open, and am always looking forward to new and exciting experiences, should be a fun adventure.

[@ryanhendrickson7346]

lol you chose pretty much every singe manga I chose and I just just started reading manga aswell 😂

[@comiccasper3053]

It appears we both have excellent taste 😉.

[@gabfoj]

Since you liked sakamoto days you should get Dan Da Dan and Kaiju no8, the story isnt that much(at least till volume 3), but man its so fun

[@comiccasper3053]

Thank you for the recommendations Gabfoj, really appreciate it.

[@florinlaction]

Generally speaking, I don’t read any mangas, I did an exception for Attack on Titans Omnibus 1 because of the hype from the anime, but that was it. I found the story interesting , but some of the characters were too…. dramatic 🥺

[@comiccasper3053]

Haha, yes, some manga moments can be a little emotionally intense. It's not for everyone, like any medium, it has pros and cons. It definetly has some fascinating quirks which are a reflection of the Japanese culture.

[@KindlingEffect]

Yeah, the main character is pretty dramatic, and that character trait is, strangely, part of the plot. That trait of his simmers down with time, but it plays a huge role in one of the most brilliant plot twists I've ever read in a story. PS: The anime is better. Most would recommend the manga for a "reread" and the anime for the 1st time experience.

A heads up *DO NOT START DRAGON BALL Z* what you have is a sequel to Dragon Ball, There are 16 volumes *PRIOR* to volume 1 of. Dragon ball z You can tell that by checking the number 17 written on goku's jacket, volume 2 has the number 18 on gohan's race car, volume 3 has the number 19 on goku's air plane. That happens because they were originally released in japan as "Dragon ball" (not z) volumes 17, 18 and 19. Why the change then? Well because the anime changed, when an inportant event happened in the dragon ball anime changing the status quo of the series, the anime decided to end and start again with a new title, a marketing decision, mostly, and this new anime would pick up from where the other one stopped, but alongside this, the manga kept the same title. So you have one manga (Dragon Ball) with 2 anime adaptations (Dragon ball, Dragon Ball Z) but for a while Only the Dragon Ball z animw had been released outside of japan, if i had to blame someone i would blame toei, and to avoid confusion, in most places they also split the manga into dragon ball and dragon ball z, but with time and re-releases, they fixed that, by making dragon ball z just dragon ball again, they done that all over the world... except in the U.S (and some few other places) So TL:DR, what you have is Dragon Ball Volumes 17 (Dbz volume 1) up untill Volume 42 (Dbz volume 26) You are Missing Volumes 1-16

[@comiccasper3053]

Oh man, here's the funny thing, I bought Dragon Ball box set, around the same time as the Dragon Ball Z one, but unfortunately Amazon delivered it to the wrong person...on the other side of the country. I was pretty bummed out, as I got it for a ridiculously cheap price. That's a cool fact about the 17 on the jacket, I honesty had no idea. Alright, I'll wait until I get Dragon Ball, so I can get the full blown experience, should be fun, and thank you for sharing.

Actually, there are so many great manga created by female mangaka (Moto Hagio, Ryoko Yamagishi, etc). And they are not about action or with sexual scenes. They are more like great novels or films. Sadly, most of them are not translated in English.

[@comiccasper3053]

That is an absolute shame, I do hope they get the representation they deserve eventually. There is so much for me to discover, thank you for sharing!

[@CameronsVideos]

I highly recommend Yotsuba&! by Azuma Kiyohiko

Read Gantz and One Punch Man. My secret recommendation would be Battle Angel Alita

[@comiccasper3053]

Awesome recommendations, thank you.

[@WyattRochefort]

Try vagabond please

[@comiccasper3053]

It will happen, one day.

I reccommend watching Attack on Titan rather than reading. It's way better that way and it'll be the best story you've ever read/watched.

[@comiccasper3053]

Heard so much hype on Attack on Titan, I should add it to my anime list, thank you.

[@MrSai-mn8wz]

Please read demon slayer for the characters you fall in love with and touching story

recomendations: look back and goodbye eri by tatsuki fujimoto

[@comiccasper3053]

Brilliant! Looking forward to reading more of his material, thank you.

[@keeveek_]

you should try tokyo ghoul, it's way better than Choujin imho

Seems to be a highly spoken about manga, I'm keen to try it.

I like you for reading The Fable and Chainsaw Man.

Thank you, both are absolute bangers.

[@Anime_Nerd]

I would highly recommend trying some Mangas by Naoki Urasawa as he's a genius in terms of writing Character driven story! You can start with *PLUTO* as it's one of his shortest stories which is a Psychological - SciFi tale that can definitely give you a great idea of how he writes his stories 🤌

[@comiccasper3053]

Those are good ones! That Mangaka has recieved quite a bit of praise from the community, definetly going on the hit list. Thank you for the recommendation, and the insight.

Casper the romance 💒 novelist 😊❤❤😂😂😂😂😂😊

I would be the worst romance novelist, people would pay me to stop writing.

[@johnnyd1790]

Berserk and Claymore are the best manga ever made, equal in genre, both medieval dark fantasies, equal in quality, equal in monsters: Berserk has Appostles, Claymore has Awakened Beyings. Honestly... Awakened Beyings are cooler.😊 PS: Blame! is cool, the movie does it justice. PS addendum: Yeah, nothing else out there compares to Berserk except for Claymore. Only that Claymore is with female Gutses (so not just one Guts), and the mindfck begins much faster in the story than in Berserk.🤓 Another difference from the short stack of difference again in Claymore's favor is that the story is complete, the author Norihiro Yagi didn't die before completing it like Kentaro Miura, God rest his soul and allow him to complete Berserk in heaven, although not exactly a heavenly work.🤷‍♂️

[@comiccasper3053]

I should totally get Claymore eventually, I have heard it is also one of the greats alongside Berserk. So much epic content to consume.

[@johnnyd1790]

@comiccasper3053 it's my favorite anime of all time, and the epic part is just beginning in the anime. But much better covered than in the Berserk anime, that leaves out essential chapters from the manga Bakailaka Assassin Squad and Demon Monkey.
