GRAPHIC NOVEL & MANGA HAUL!

[@PeruseProject]

oooooooh Durarara!! The show is really good!

[@jessethereader]

Ah! I didn't even know it was an anime. :)

[@katejeszenszky5449]

yesss its fantastic! the next season comes out in 2015

[@PeruseProject]

WHOA THERE IS GOING TO BE A NEW SEASON?!!?!

[@nokiddingbrainless]

PeruseProject THERE'S GOING TO BE A SECOND SEASON?! MY PRAYERS HAVE BEEN HEARD.

[@1966Tamy]

Yep theres going to be a 2nd season!!!! actually there is the thriller check it out ;)

[@Katytastic]

I don't own any of these and I've only heard of like half of them before this but they all sound awesome so... *adds all to wishlist*

[@NaiadOwO]

So I really love graphic novels and manga :) Here a few suggestions: Graphic Novels: 1. Blankets (incredibly, simple, beautiful artwork. so unique. can't really describe it but it's awesome!) 2. Friends With Boys (a girl and her ghost. a nice easy read, with lots of fun characters) 3. American Born Chinese (three amazing, funny, and deep story lines interweave into this amazing book) Manga: 1. Fruits Basket (my favorite manga. A family has a curse where they can turn into members of the Chinese zodiac.) 2. Ouran High School Host Club (hilarious take on the stereotypes of a "perfect guy" at a rich high school) 3. Soul Eater (haven't read, but the anime is AMAZING. Lots of action and comedy.) 4. Black Butler, aka Kuroshitsuji (a supernatural / Victorian /murder mystery thing) 4. XXXHolic (dealing with Japanese spirits. Also pretty funny.) 5. Death Note (intense murder mystery with demons from the afterlife where our main character is the killer.) 6. Fullmetal Alchemist (comedy and action packed with characters who aren't stick thin!) 7. Lovely Complex (when a really tall girl falls in love with a really short guy) Webcomics (so if you don't know what a webcomic is, they're comics that artists put online for free!): 1. Todd Allison and the Petunia Violet (to put it short, this is downright hilarious. Funny, quirky characters, and takes place in 1920s Australia with a sort of detective vibe. You can read it at inkblazers.com) 2. Hotblood! (what if centaurs coexisted with humans? This is funny as well, and takes place post-Civil War. You can also read this at inkblazers.com) I hope you like the recommendations!!!

[@HaileyinBookland]

i need to get myself into graphic novels and manga! it's like a whole new world i don't know about!

[@amalalshamar3499]

My favorite mangas are "yogsubato!&" which is so adorable! And i also loved "lovely complex"

[@AnkitSingh-ps9zx]

Man of culture

[@AnkitSingh-ps9zx]

It's so cute

[@CinnaFrost]

I also really love Fullmetal Alchemist. It's about two brothers who attempted to bring their mother back from the dead when they were young. The transmutation went wrong, leaving the older brother with only one arm and one leg, and the younger brother with only a soul attached to a suit of armor. It's really long (27 volumes) but it's pretty fast paced. It's hilarious at some points, and a tearjerker at others. The characters really grow (mentally and physically) from the start to the finish, and is all in all a satisfying read.

[@evabeals1825]

Anya's ghost is amazing. It's soo creepy and mysterious and funny and sad and omfg someone who's popular on youtube is finally giving it the recognition it deserves.

[@jessethereader]

It's a pretty great one!

[@mackenzies.g.9862]

I love manga! Some of my favorites are: 1. Fairy Tail-- About a group of wizards that are apart of the magic guild Fairy Tail. They go on many awesome adventures and it's really a fantastic story. 2. One Piece-- About a young pirate who wants to become king of the pirates. He gathers a crew of equally ambitious characters and together they sail around the world and follow their dreams. Also has great adventures in it. 3. Vampire Knight-- About a girl who has no memories of her past and is struggling to keep the peace between the vampires and humans at her school. It's a good story, but mostly I just liked the artwork. 4. Sword Art Online-- About this character who gets trapped in a video game. If he can beat the game, he'll be able to return to the real world, but if he dies in the game, he dies in real life. Dun dun dunnnn! 5. Higurashi-- About a group of friends caught in a continual time loop where they try over and over again to change their fates. Warning: This manga can be very disturbing and confusing, but the story is still awesome and makes you think a lot...

[@blueestarx]

Great haul! Love how you're getting into mangas! :D

[@thebookhito5004]

Bakuman is fantastic! And I agree, it's really motivating. A lot of people put it down because they say it's not as good as the creators' previous work, Death Note, but I rather enjoyed it. And you said recommendations. Oh boy, you just opened a can of worms. :3 My list of recommendations: - Case Closed (mystery): High schooler likes to solve crimes, gets turned into a kid, has to look for a secret organization while trying to solve lesser crimes with a dunce of a detective. -Sankarea (horror): Guy who's obsessed with zombies is out catting around. (Trust me, it makes sense when you read it.) A girl is also out and about and she drinks something that turns her into a zombie. A great love story with gore. Very funny too. - Ranma 1/2 (comedy/kung fu): Ranma is a martial artist who happens to have a curse where when doused with cold water he becomes a female. On top of that, his father has set him up to be married to a girl named Akane. Ranma and Akane do NOT like each other. A little dated, but still funny. - Buddha (historical): Done by the God of Manga himself, Osamu Tezuka, Buddha is about the name sake of the series. It is very detailed and has beautiful artwork. The series won an Eisner Award back in 04 an 05. (Seriously, check out anything by Osamu Tezuka. His stuff is great, and you have about 700 titles to choose from.) - Wandering Son (slice of life/LGBT): A little boy and little girl don't like the way their bodies are. The manga takes place over about 5-10 years, and you see the characters grow with who they are inside. A beautiful story with very simplistic yet well crafted artwork. Beautiful is the best word I can use to describe this, though I may be bias to it. And that's just off the top of my head. I have over 800 volumes of manga the last time I counted (which was about four years ago, so it's probably jumped up a lot since then) and I try and read anything. (Durara I couldn't quite get in to. Just wasn't my cup of tea. Though I know plenty of people who like it and the anime.)

[@meliasmith7851]

This is the first video of yours that I've watched and your intro was just BAM! and that's the story of when I hit the subscribe button :D

[@DaGavinX]

Nice choices. Some recs for you: -V of Vendetta (one volume) -Watchmen (one volume, 12 chapters) -Akira (6 volumes) -Eureka 7 (6 volumes, 20 chapters) -Welcome to the NHK (8 volumes, 40 chapters) -Beck (34 volumes, 102 chapters) ok, not short, but it's great.

[@ciinthiamk]

Gavin Grant Beck!!!! really good! I cried when I finished reading it, and the anime is just the begining of the story....

[@gisellepadilla5319]

You should try reading the manga Tokyo Ghoul, The story follows Ken Kaneki, a college student who meets a woman named Rize Kamishiro at Anteiku in a coffee shop. They share an interest in literature and plan a date. While walking Rize home, Ken is attacked by her. Rize reveals that she is a ghoul, a human-like creature that hunts and devours human flesh. As she is about to finish him off, she is crushed by a falling platform. Kaneki is taken to the hospital in critical condition. The doctor decides to transplant Rize's organs into Ken. He then must deal with life as a half-human/half-ghoul, including interacting with ghoul society and its conflicting factions, while striving to keep his identity secret from other humans. They also have a anime about it and it's so good. They going to make a second season about it. I highly recommend it :)

[@starian72]

Deadly Class. WANT. I loveeeed the color tone in Anya's Ghost too! OUHHHH I definitely recommend the graphic novel Ghostopolis, the illustrations are beautiful and it's definitely worth owning!

[@S2A0R0A0H]

Attack on Titan, Blue Exorcist, Barakamon, Bleach, Death Note, Fullmetal Alchemist, Haikyuu!!, Naruto, and Tokyo Ghoul are some of the favorites that I have read

[@kurokokoro26]

YES!!! I'm SO excited that u picked up Durarara!! It is by far one of my favorite animes. I haven't read the manga yet but I really want to.

[@Weesammieful]

I love this video bc I can't get enough of graphic novels. Anya's ghost and the amulet series are amazing. I'd definitely recommend 'Through the woods' 'Lost at sea' and 'Blankets'. They're all great :)

[@WithLis]

you should try reading the mangas blue exorcist and xxxholic, they're really good :)

[@jessethereader]

I'll look into them! :)

[@JustAllura]

I second Blue Exorcist:)

[@samanthac3357]

xxxholic is amazing.

[@JustAllura]

I've never read it so xD Can't recommend something I' haven't read.

[@Cyberpixxxie]

xxxholic was one of the best

[@antagonist1214]

So the "Big 3" manga are Naruto, Bleach, and One Piece technically they are all still ongoing but Naruto is ending this month, and Bleach is ending next year. Attack on Titan, Black Butler, The Prince of Tennis, Soul Eater, InuYasha, Fairy Tail and Love*Com are also some good recommendations covering a spectrum of manga genre. A good graphic novel is Pandemonium by Chris Wooding and Cassandra Diaz.

[@amasa1192]

Saga is a great graphic novel series! It was the first graphic novel I read and totally fell in love!

[@veronicavolumes]

Also the Cardcaptors Sakura mangas are great! I was obsessed with the anime when I was younger.

[@owlid3890]

Bakuman is one of my favorite manga, it's what got me into collecting manga/books in general. For a few other manga I would recommend Deadman Wonderland (13 volumes complete), My Hero Academia (3 volumes ongoing), and Ajin: Demi Human (6 volumes ongoing). As for graphic novels I don't have any recommendations as I just started getting into them and come to videos like these to find recommendations haha

[@yashdurai90]

Even tokyo ghoul 1-14 ongoing

[@bookbadass165]

I got so excited to see this video in my subscriptions! I`ve recently been starting to get into graphic novels, manga, anime, and webcomics. I was about to order some books and graphic novels online, so this video was super helpful in deciding which ones to buy and which to save for later. :D

[@biblioblogette]

I just read "In Real Life" and really loved it. You're right about the art style. It's gorgeous! I'd recommend the Ghost Hunt manga. It's not as well known but it's spooky with just the right amount of heart. I saw that someone recommended Fables already so I definitely second that series!

[@yoshieemunstr9974]

fruits basket is a really good one I fell in love with it within the first couple of pages of the first book

[@njrebecca1]

OHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGOD NOT EVEN KIDDING LEGIT FREAKING OUT DRRR IS THE BEST BEST MANGA EVER AND IF YOU WANT TO READ THE REST I REALLY WANT TO SEND THEM TO YOU SINCE I HAVE EXTRA COPIES AND URGH ITS SO GOOD

[@ReeseSanDiego]

I just finish Anya's ghost, I loved it! Thank you so much for the recommendation!

[@Marie45610]

a couple months ago I got the two bind ups (the third isn't out yet) of The Last Airbender graphic novels. They are really good, and if you liked the show they are great to have so you can read some more of their stories after the end of the show. As for Manga, I am really picky when it comes that genre, so I have no recommendations for you there.

[@deliar.4326]

great haul! :) you should take a look at the locke and key graphic novels, habibi and through the woods. I bought through the woods because ariel recommended it and it's SO GOOD!

[@averyjbyrd]

It depends if you like shojo at all (most of what you picked up is shonen) but if you're interested Fruits Basket is super cute. Hana Kimi is also cool, as is Ouran High School Host Club (both of those have similar premises.) If you want to try a more classic shonen manga, Inuyasha is always a good place to start (its my personal favorite.) Just to list a couple others, Naruto, Bleach, D. Gray Man, and Soul Eater.

[@Tanvikesari]

loved this haul! I'm planning on reading some manga again!

[@CinnaFrost]

My favorite (well I've only read two so..) manga is No. 6 by Atsuko Asano. It's about a boy named Shion who lives in this utopian world. One day, he helps an injured boy who lives outside the city, and Shion then discovers all the secrets behind the "perfect" city he's been living it. The characters are really interesting and the plot is so different than any other dystopian books I've read!! :)

[@dedennehime]

I LOVE DURARARA!!!! Actually there are 3 story arcs and the manga you got is from the 3rd story arc. There is the regular/dollar story arc and the saika story arc before the one you have, yellow scarves arc. Recommendations: Scott Pilligrim and Seconds by Bryan Lee O'Malley Page by Paige by Laura Lee Gulledge (These are the manga I'm currently reading, have no idea what to recommend) Pandora Hearts by Jun Mochizuki Puella Magi Madoka Magika by Magica Quartet And.... Noragami by Adachitoka

[@NYUGamerX]

Y - The last man.one of the best graphic novels I've read in my whole life.give itt a go.you won't regret it.

[@AdamJenningsEQ]

A great haul selection! I have added most of them to my Goodreads :) And I like that all of them are indie based Graphic Novels....if that is the kind of thing that you would remain to continue reading then I highly recommend Sweet Tooth by Jeff Lemire, Mind MGMT by Matt Kindt, Chico and Rita by Javier Mariscal/Fernando Trueba and Daytripper by Fabio Moon and Gabriel Ba. - As for manga, I highly recommend Black God by Doll-Young Lim, Pluto by Naoki Urasawa (by far one of the best manga's I have ever read) and Claymore by Norihiro Yagi. -- Happy reading!

[@mrssodapopstar]

The amulet series is awesome!

[@julianahmb]

Jesse, there's this amazing contemporary manga called Solanin which is only two volumes, if i'm not mistaken. It's about a couple, Taneda and Meiko and their lives. It's a "slice-of-life" kind of manga, very introspective, with sort of a melancholic feel to it, and it deals very much with being young and not really knowing what to do with your life. I really recommend it.

[@Funkyfreak1girl]

For manga, I would def recommend Pandora Hearts, it's one of my favorite series! And for Durarara, it's better to start with the first arc, which is 4 volumes, then the Saika Arc, which is 3 vol, and finally the yellow scarves arc (which is the one you have). It's a really good series too

[@joshtreadway922]

The rest of the Amulet graphic novels are excellent! I loved them!

[@aaniashah202]

We have amulet volumes 1 and 2 in our school library! Really wanna get into it.

[@ambersmith2097]

The recommendation of manga that I think you should read if you have time is: Death Note, Attack On Titan, One Piece, and Dragon Ball Z Kai because I REALLY enjoy the anime and the mangas as well. Hm it would be fun to get some of those for myself to read as well since I love anime, cartoons, and the stories of the different characters and I LOVE to read!😄 I have a lot of reading to catch up on though😅 HOWEVER, I'm excited to do so because reading is my favorite thing to do (other than write, paint, or draw when I'm bored) and it was my favorite subject in school other than art. One of my favorite pass times to do after a hard day is: read in my room, drink a cup of coffee or hot chocolate while I read, with my cat laying in my lap, and when it rains. Best.experience.ever!😄 I'm currently reading The Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials and I really enjoy it so far, but I also need to read the rest of Stephen King's It, Pet Sematary, The Hunger Games series, and to start on the Divergent book series because I haven't read it YET. Anyway I really enjoy your channel and I wish you luck on catching up with the books that you haven't been able to have the time in order to read, but life DOES get busy though. Sorry😅

[@UnquenchableReads]

You should look up Little Guardians. It's an online comic series, but you can buy a physical copy of a bind of up the comics also. It's a great way to help unpublished authors who need more recognition.

[@nenihabla6713]

You should definitely read "Blood Lad"! Or, "All You Need Is Kill" which is, like an adaption from a book with the same title, which inspired the movie Edge of Tomorrow. :) The series only has two mangas, but it's so good!

[@nicolem7150]

Oooo I love Bakuman!! I agree, it's so inspiring :) You should check out Parasyte. I just recently finished it and loved it!

[@aleshiapark]

durarara! is really good! i loved the plot of the story, its quite unique and it just gave me multiple twists and feels omgg... i recommend to watch the anime once you've finshed reading the manga :333

[@SilverStarlightStables]

I'm just starting to read manga/Graphic novels, but I Highly recommend the Black Butler series. Its in black and white but its awesome. Black Butler is about (This is probably going to sound crazy) a boy named Ceil, who's parents were killed, leaving Ceil as the Head of the Funtom toy company. Ceil hires a butler (Sebastian), but this butler is not just a butler..(dramatic pause).. He's a demon, Who serves Ceil under a contract. Sebastian will grant Ceil's greatest wish, in exchange for his Soul. (demons eat souls to survive... pretty much) I'm not the best at explaining it, but trust me, This series has TONS of moment that will keep you on the edge of your seat, and turning pages. Hope you pick it up!

[@pblack8916]

I'm sorry but I really need to correct this, becouse I just need to *Ciel and *Phamtomhive and hire....well....he doesn´t really hire him is more like doing a "contract"

[@SilverStarlightStables]

yeah i know about the contract and thanx for the spelling corrections.

[@velivino8748]

Silver Starlight Stables Just to let you know all mangas are in black and white.

[@SilverStarlightStables]

Like I said I'm new to manga but thanx now I know 😊

[@velivino8748]

Silver Starlight Stables You should probably read series like Death Note and AOT if you're new, those are really good for beginners.

[@AjaReads]

Great haul! I just ordered blankets, I haven't read it yet.

[@jessethereader]

thanks! I really want to get my hands on blankets at some point. :)

[@MsLili123]

You should totally read " Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki Kun" . It's a manga about a girl confessing her love to her crush and later finding out that he's actually a Shoujo manga artist. It is absolutely hilarious and the characters are all so lovable.

[@uwuSoap]

The drrr you picked up is actually the third arc. I recommend you start from the first arc that came out in 2012 to get the story :)

[@marina6582]

I just started One Piece and DeathNote after never really reading graphic novels or manga. I had great experiences with both of them so I think I'll look into more graphic novels and manga now.

[@gartmi1991]

I actually just ordered the originally manga series The Ring. Yes, the Ring lol, and yes it is based off of the original Japanese scary movie "The Ring," that our American ones are based off of. The illustrations are all in black and white and the first one is a little lengthy for a manga, but they're actually really good. And I just ordered both of those versions of The Graveyard Book and the Deadly Class. I haven't read the graphic novel version of Coraline yet though. But that "101 things to do with a dead kindle" and "DRRR!!" look pretty good. Now, I must go and say "D-rah-rah-rah" umpteen more times haha.

[@samanthac3357]

I recommend Black butler, Vampire hunter D and Death Note.

[@KiandraChan]

I watched the Durarara anime back in the day and it was incredible, so I hope you enjoy the manga!

[@jessethereader]

I hope so too! I'll have to give the anime a try. :)

[@howstrangehowsmall]

Definitely read Yotsuba! Books don't usually make me laugh out loud but this manga is so frickin' hilarious, I am often bursting out in laughter at Yotsuba's antics!

[@strawberrysakuras5319]

Locke and Key graphic novels by joe hill are amazing. I also read a random graphic novel called I kill Giants by Joe Kelley from the library and it was so good!!

[@KimChin-Gibbons]

Have you read Attack on Titan? I love it so much it's one of my favorites.

[@dragonballgirl4]

My favorite manga hands down is Pandora Hearts. It's so amazing!

[@nokiddingbrainless]

I haven't read Durarara!! but I've seen the anime and it's SO good! It's actually urban fantasy, but as urban as it gets, and it has such a great, unique cast of characters! My favourite manga of all time is NANA, by Yazawa Ai. It's a little girly maybe, but sooo amazing, and I think you'd still enjoy it. I also recommend Kagen no Tsuki (or Last Quarter in English) by her, which is shorter and less of a commitment, and more mysterious. I also think you would really enjoy Pandora Hearts, which is a really cool dark fantasy manga.

[@oxiLOVEmyWORLDxo]

On recommending mangas (My computer autocorrected that to mangos. It's like it doesn't know me at all.) you should check out: 1. Rurouni Kenshin. Arguably my favorite manga series ever. It's incredibly well done with a great story and I spent quite a bit of my time reading it just being amazed at how amazing great the manga was drawn and how much detail was put into it. 2. Inuyasha. This is another one of my favorites. It's got a great story with wonderful characters and it's a pretty long series but I loved the characters so much that I personally wouldn't have minded if it had lasted longer. 3. Fruits Basket. This one is really different from the first two, but still amazing. This is other manga vying for my number one spot. It's got a really weird set up and at the beginning it feels like it's just a fluffy throw away story, but as it progresses it slowly starts to build these layers to all the characters that formed a really deep story that I honestly feel played a huge influence in my life the first time I read it about 5 or 6 years ago. So those are my top 3 and I hope that anyone that reads this checks them out if they haven't already and finds some new favorites, or at least something new to enjoy!

[@ThyPhan94]

bakuman is one of my fave mangas and anime, can't wait for the live action :)

[@cocochanel1999]

My favorite haul yet!!!!!! Do you watch anime too?

[@jessethereader]

I do, but not much!

[@cocochanel1999]

You should! Watching anime and reading are my favorite pastimes. Ever want a recommendation, I'm here

[@Marie45610]

jessethereader You should check out Kill La Kill. Its hilarious and weird, and amazing.

[@nommernomz]

jessethereader Best anime of all time (in my opinion) Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. Manga is awesome, anime is even better with the soundtracks, 10 million thumbs up for FMA

[@ayanalia686]

A manga I really loved it a one volume story by the name of REC - Kimi Ga Naita Hi by Makino Aoi. The title translates to REC - The Day You Cried and the story is really touching. It is a definite must read in my book.

[@TheRazoFamily]

The manga Cross Game, The Flowers of Evil, Blue Exorcist, Lovely Complex, and High School Debut are really good! I have many more that I've read but those are just a few. And yes I make videos solely on anime and manga and otaku-ness :)

[@dylanbooks]

I have been on a graphic novel and spree recently, so this is EXACTLY what i needed! I really want to read deadly class and In Real Life sounds really cool too :O RECCOMENDATION TIME: Attack on Titan is real good, like real good. Also at the risk of sounding like a broken record, you should totally read some super hero comics haha!

[@Kitxkitsune]

I second Attack on Titan!

[@DaniellaBooks]

This this this

[@LorienKittyBooks]

Manga I recommend would be Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan by Hiroshi Shiibashi, Rurouni Kenshin Nobuhiro Watsuki, and Fullmetal Alchemist by Hiromu Arakawa. Those are my favorites. Graphic Novels would be Elf Quest by Wendy and Richard Pini. They've just come out with new bind-ups of the whole series, as well as the entire series being online for free. :)

[@alexbucherschnack8556]

YAY! So great that you're getting back into manga. I recommend 'The Betrayal Knows My Name' & 'Only the Ringfinger Knows' by Hotaru Odagiri and the all time classic 'Sailor Moon' by Naoko Takeuchi. :D As for Graphic Novels: If you're into adaptations of novels you should definately have a look at Soulless by REM; the style is just soooo great. :D Hope you'll check out at least some of these! :)

[@PatrickMaberry]

Yes a graphic novel haul!!!

[@Leggatron2000]

Well now I need to reread bakuman. Its so good!

[@rosepetalsmhh]

you should read Case Closed. its my favorite manga ever and i read a lot of manga

[@jessethereader]

awesome! I'll look into it. :)

[@yinandyangmix]

I haven't heard much about the manga, but Durarara!! is an absolutely amazing anime, so I'm sure you'll like the manga!

[@monicanguyen2743]

I recommend skip beat, black butler, love & wars ( its about controversy, books, war between libraries - i dont know but its great), kuroko kun no basketball ( if you're into sports) and i kinda like the betrayal knows my name If you ever want to read other then on a book i recommend Apps : manga rocks Website: mangafox, manga park and manga reader

[@sydneyc9339]

deadly class is SOOO GOOOOOOD

[@FrigidFriction]

Try the graphic novel Seconds. It's really good and pretty artwork! It's by Brian O'Malley, who did the Scott Pilgrim series. For manga, you cannot go wrong with Ouran High School Host Club, Death Note, or Rurouni Kenshin.

[@BooksAndBigHair]

I've never read a graphic novel! I really want to pick up one to see how I'd like them.

[@sarahseiran]

You should get the Infernal Devices graphic novels. I totally love them!

[@animealpaca7311]

I love Durarara! Hopefully you'll also love it. Great story and characters

[@jessethereader]

I hope so too!

[@yanie3000]

You should check out Fables, Vol. 1 by Bill Willingham. It's a modern day fairy tale retelling set in New York. It's very funny and witty. It's like Once Upon a Time but for a more mature audience.

[@jessethereader]

I really really really want to read Fables! It looks like such a beautiful graphic novel series. :)

[@kittycollins2193]

jessethereader I really recommend Noragami! Its really funny but hits you in the feels a lot!

[@melbugbird]

Fullmetal Alchemist it is my favorite manga, you can read it online or just but the boxset or something.

[@veekee888]

Akama Ga Kill, Soul Eater, Noragami, and Horimiya!

[@selfmadeoranges]

Manga Suggestions: Fullmetal Alchemist (SO GOOD AND ACTION PACKED) Ouran High School Host Club (SO FUNNY) Haikyuu (it's a sports anime which is interesting, BUT YOU JUST GET SO ATTACHED TO THE CHARACTERS)

[@veronicavolumes]

The Locke & Key series by Joe Hill! So good!!

[@myaddictiontoeverything8271]

DURARARA IS AMAZING!!

[@indirakirana]

Black Butler (or Kuroshitsuji) is my favorite manga, it might be a bit hard to get into, but trust me, it's worth it. I also recommend Attack on Titan. Both of these series have been made into anime, which you should check out too.

[@newyorkfairy22]

As far as graphic novels the Locke and Key series by Joe Hill is amazing and for manga the Bleach series and Attack of Titan are both amazing if you like a lot of action

[@Vyxvix]

I read Anya's Ghost and In Real Life because of this video. I loved them both. My first graphic novels I might add! Thanks Jesse. 👍

[@TheBlueClover2012]

im not new to manga but definitely new to graphic novel. M currently reading Neil Gaiman's The Sandman:Endless Nights. hmm... this is my first graphic novel so I'm not sure if i actually do like this format of story telling. After i'm done with this one i might buy more of it as I'm a Neil Gaiman fan. As for manga, I'm kinda lazy to read it so i always watch the anime version instead. Both Bakuman and Durarara have animes. What genre do u like? i could introduce u some if u like.

[@littlepagemaster]

One of the best graphic novels I've ever read is Fun Home by Alison Bechdel. I don't know if you've read it, but it's a graphic novel memoir and it's amazing.

[@Ver0nika_Mars]

I always recommend Watchmen by Alan Moore to anyone who wants to read a great graphic novel. I'm currently reading Batman: The Long Halloween and next I plan on reading Seconds by Bryan Lee O'Malley (the same guy who did Scott Pilgrim)

[@amy6639]

For manga recommendations, Katekyo! Hitman Reborn and Bleach are both great. Long though. Like really REALLY long.

[@Scott-vw2vs]

I love the manga durarara!! After you read it you should watch the anime. There is going to be a season 2 sometime next year

[@Lola-fb5du]

I really liked the Haruhi Suzumiya mangas, Dr.Slump mangas are cool and Yotsuba mangas are hilarious! Ohh, and if you like graphic novels you should read Frances by Joanna Hellgren. It's my favorite graphic novel! It is very beautiful!

[@boothy0304]

If you haven't checked it out, I'd suggest Sailor Moon (both the original anime and the new reboot, which follows the manga much more closely, like almost line-for-line, as well as the manga). It's one of my favorite series of all time and it's simply fantastic.

[@gracerust6371]

Go for the author Faith Erin Hicks! She has some of the best graphic novels ive ever read! Some of her books include Friends with Boys, Brian Camp, and Nothing Can Ever Go Wrong.

Graphic novel recs: Watchmen by Alan Moore, Hawkeye by Matt Fraction (3 volumes so far, 4th coming out later this month), Saga by Brian K. Vaughn, Sex Criminals also by Matt Fraction (this is rated M, contains quite a bit of nudity but it's hilarious. just don't read it in public), all of Image Comics in general, if you've watched Avatar the Last Airbender the graphic novels are really good. Manga recs: Shingeki no Kyojin (Attack on Titan), Full Metal Alchemist, Naruto, Bleach, Fairy Tail, Shaman King, Soul Eater, Beelzebub, Inuyasha, Samurai Champloo, Samurai Deeper Kyo, and that's all for now.

My recommendations for manga would be InuYasha, Full Metal Alchemist, and Case Closed. Those are some manga that I have always enjoyed, even as I fall in, out, in, and out again of the manga world. By the way, this was actually the perfect video for me right now cause I just pulled out my manga collection and started setting it up. :)

I LOVE THE AMULET SERIES

You should check out Black Cat, Blood Lad, Parasyte, and Deadman Wonderland. There are a lot more I recommend but those are a few interesting ones

You should read Cat Street. It's one of my favourite mangas. It's about a special school for people who were bullied because of their personalities in the regular public school.
