MANGA, GRAPHIC NOVEL, & COMIC BOOK COLLECTION | BOOKSHELF TOUR

[@AClockworkReader]

this is making me want to start reading manga.....

[@ferlina9541]

Manga you need to read: -Attack on Titan -Assassination Classroom

[@reigen4030]

Ass class

[@JulOfficial]

yahh..assassination classroom is amazing

[@Judithoo]

There only one anime I left unfinished and that's assassination classroom

[@joodii99]

How many times did Jesse say volume in this video

[@arthurbracey7200]

Jood it’s over 9,000

[@annieg.9023]

I was just wondering the same thing......

[@maren1772]

He said volume 133 times (yes, I counted)

[@brandensingletary18]

Hahaha😂

[@mehmeh_]

@@maren1772 thanks

[@laurenbarney3200]

You should give Fullmetal Alchemist a try.

[@sjhorton1184]

Lauren Barney FMA is the best!

[@emmagreenily]

the wicked + the divine covers ARE SO PRETTY

[@maddie9816E]

Fullmetal Alchemist, you won't regret it I promise

[@sjhorton1184]

[@minmira6038]

OMG i saw Manga , and boo, here i am *-*

[@miraculus4204]

same i really don't know any "famous" manga/comic readers here in youtube hmmm

[@arthurbracey7200]

That’s my exact reaction

[@User-084-x4x]

Amira Gmr same

[@iwillstealurcookies9595]

From your profile i can see you have a good choice in anime/manga

[@jurassicfaseeha]

Isnt ur profile pic erza ... thats awesome

[@LorienKittyBooks]

I really enjoy Seraph of the End because it's about demons vs vampires, and two brothers caught in between. I'm more interested in their stories and how they're going to survive when there isn't a "right" side and every one of the 3 groups are truly hurting humans.BTW - if you like the art of Children of the Whales you'd probably like the art of Tegami Bachi.

[@_.cloudypuffs._9363]

LorienKittyBooks omg I used to love that anime but I never had the books cus I was new to anime and tbh it’s the only anime I’ve watched (other than Pokemon) cus im not really interested in anime/manga but they were exceptions 😂🌸✨

[@Emily-up3dk]

I'm super surprised you don't have Saga. It's SO GOOD. Brutal, but amazing. On a much lighter note, you might like Lumberjanes if you liked Nimona (although it's not really written by Noelle Stevenson...she just helped with the development).

[@destineeswift9758]

Ok jesse i have some good recommendations for you. The first is Attack on Titan and the second is Assasination Classroom. i have read them both and they are really good. Also another good manga series is Ouran High School Host Club

[@ElysaRomana]

Destinee Swift I LOVED the anime for Assassination Classroom! Such good humour!

[@destineeswift9758]

ReaderWithACat - I have not watched it yet

[@israaahmed7168]

OMG I WANT TO READ OURAN HIGH SCHOOL HOST CLUB BECAUSE I LOVED THE AMINE SO MUCH!!!

[@fragrantpages1024]

Attack on Titan yessssssssss

[@katiewright3309]

I read and watched both assassination classroom and ouran highschool. Both are very good. Another good manga series is kimi ni todoke. Also Wandering Son is very good.

[@janiceknepp4604]

My favorite manga in high school was Fruits Basket. It's such a good manga series and I wished they had continued with the anime but what can we do.

[@heathercormier7063]

J.L. Knepp omw same! I haven't finished the manga, but fruits Basket is my all time favorite anime! I'm on 11, and already it's crazy how much the took out of the anime :(

[@gracesbookss]

Can you do a “my favorite manga” video??? AND a video on how to read manga??? (Notif squad!!! 💕💕💕)

[@nesquik9579]

Read right to left,

[@mwakortskallo]

Fullmetal Alchemist has everything! It's my second favourite story after Harry Potter. I have a question: What do you do with books you don't like? Do you give them all away / sell them / keep them? Does anyone have tips for how to create more space for books / bookshelves? Bookshelf-space is seriously lacking for me nowadays. It's so bad that I almost hope I don't like a book series, because if I do like it I would have to make room for it.

[@Alen8443]

Why I think Manga is Better than Comics: - Artists don't change in the middle of an ongoing series. - One author, one series. Not a new voice every 6 issues. Love your videos Jesse i hope you make more manga related videos in the Future 😊👍.

[@iorekbyrnison1]

Isn't that more common with comic compilations not graphic novels? I haven't read any graphic novels that have just switched authors in between volumes. Every example I can think of is actually just a volume of comics put together like Lumberjanes. Also, in general I find a lot of graphic novels lean towards stand alones, though that is changing somewhat. . .

[@callumbennett9878]

Well I read stand alone comics and normally after an arc is complete they bind it into a trade paperback.

[@lindadaa]

I actually like when artists change. Yeah it's annoying if you really like an artist and they quit, but it usually helps with discovering new amazing artists. :)

[@kappastar4839]

@@lindadaa or just absolutely hating it because the art changes drastically

[@vanessahansmann2465]

Jesse's hoodie string keeps hitting his face in his intros and i find it really amusing lol

[@PurelyAmber]

Seraph of the end is really really good! It doesn’t focus too much on the vampires is a good mix, the characters are so loveable

[@maren1772]

I was studying for a German test I have tomorrow, but when Jesse has a new video I have to watch it!!!

[@joodii99]

When Jesse posts a video who cares about school????

[@theamartin0524]

Haha saaammmeee ^_^ I have a Political Science test tomorrow... well technically 'today' since I'm watching it on 1:30 AM... and I just rewatched "A Monster Calls" because no one cares about school hahaha

[@Eryken28]

If you love Nimona I recommend lumberjanes written by Noelle Stevenson as well. They also had a crossover event with Gotham academy.

[@saraberg7601]

You HAVE to read Descender by Jeff Lemire!! It's a science fiction but the artstyle is amazing! It's all drawn in watercolor and the story is really heart warming!!! You get to follow this cute little android-boy and his little robot friend in this robot-hating world and it's really really good!! By far one of my fav comic series!! Oh and for manga tips you should totally look into Naoki Urasawa's works! Especially Monster and 20 Century Boys! Both are SUPEr intense, the stories themself are insane and you will never be able to guess what will happen next! I recommend you to start off with Monster tho because 20 century boys digs into the question what really makes you YOU and it can be a bit trippy and overwhelming if you are not used to Urasawa's works haha

[@ElysaRomana]

I think you'd enjoy 'A Silent Voice' a LOT. I watched the anime, didn't know a manga existed. Will def buy it! Owari no Seraph is not really about the vampires you'd know. I think you might like it as well!

[@mohamudali7228]

also read or watch fullmetal alchemist brotherhood olivier armstrong my fave

[@shizab3314]

if i go to his house I'm never coming out

[@lazar766]

what even is the word volume anymore

[@taylorrobinson1146]

MONSTRESS IS SO GOOD. I absolutely adored it and i think you'd really enjoy it :) the artwork is also stunning!

[@StudioLindsay]

Oh my word, Starting Point is one of my favorite books! Not only does it appeal to me as someone who adores animation, but it also inspires me as a writer more than any book I've ever read. There's some solid advise in this book about creating characters and revising plots that I haven't heard anywhere else.

[@isabellamunoz634]

Ohh great start to your manga collection! I rlly enjoyed reading Tokyo Ghoul and it's one of my favorites! I recommend getting Magi the Labyrinth of Magic and Black Butler. There rlly good manga series and rlly funny and action packed!

[@laurenness2139]

i love my hero academia!! the anime is great as well and the story just gets better and better

[@bentruong1038]

This manga series is rather old, but it is drawn by the same mangaka for Death Note and Bakuman. It's called Hikaru no Go, the premise might not sound thrilling, but it's oddly addictive.

[@nymeriastark6116]

Seraph of the End is amazing! It’s definitely not you’re typical vampire story, and there’s so much more to it than the vampires. Do it! 😊

[@_firstlight]

I'm currently reading Wires and Nerve and loving it!

[@daniilmironov6683]

Аctually damn good montage, much better then just rough long vlog. Thank you!

[@marcominhos7731]

You need to read Akatsuki no Yona!!! 😍😍😍

[@maGiCpinkBear]

Marco Minhós OMG It is one of my all time favorite tooo!

[@gellygummy]

YASSS!!!!

[@chiarae.messex389]

Seraph of the end is great! Especially if you keep reading. (Im so against vampires and my friend made me read it and I love it now)

[@jessicathwaites9602]

Seraph of the end is really good, not the typical vampire story

[@watso059]

Coming from someone who has around 30,000 comic books (mostly marvel), I completely agree with you that the Young Avengers series is one of my all-time favorites. All the rest of your Marvel collection is great as well. If you decide to start another series, I'd recommend the Ultimate Spider-Man series (most of the Ultimate books really). It is my all-time favorite and is fantastic. Takes place on an alternate earth to the Marvel Universe...basically it let Marvel reset and retell all of its main characters in the early 2000's. Great artwork and storytelling. Just great. Fan of the channel.

[@mohamudali7228]

read or watch durarara its so good the concept is that everyone is the hero of their story . the cool part is that the main character is the city

[@Emma-lq4zd]

Mohamud Ali I actually love this description of the series. Hilarious 😂. Also Baccono

[@rosearcher5816]

If you like romance D.N. Angel and Ouran High School Host Club are series that I recommend. If you like action/adventure I suggest Fullmetal Alchemist, Cirque Du Freak, and if you don't mind a lot of gore, Attack on Titan is a good series as well. There are also Manga adaptations of classic novels. Some examples are Great Expectations, The Scarlet Letter, and Les Misérables. My personal favourite Manga is Yu-Gi-Oh, I just _love_ the character design.

[@jamalmojo6252]

Get heartstopper by Alice Oseman 😍💕💕💕💕

[@plshelpalistair]

Absolutely, complete goals mate. Tons of reference material right at your fingertips.

[@mckenziestaley9063]

AHHHHHH BIG HERO SIX IS MY fAVORITE TOO! Btw, where is saga? Could have sworn you read them but if not read them!

[@guadalupealfaro6618]

A silent voice punched me in the feels😂 I recommend! Fruit basket and fullmetal alchemist I also recommend, they were the first ones I've ever read😊

[@princesaarrie889]

Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign is the best. Recommend the anime

[@raheelkhan6585]

Seraph of the end is AMAZING

[@laurenworrall7082]

Seraph of the End is my favourite manga 😊❤️

[@AnnaWaytray]

THROUGH THE WOODS!! YESSSSS IT IS AN ALL TIME FAAAVE I'M GLAD U HAVE IT AND LIKE ITT

[@erinwithahobby3077]

seraph of the end is really good, i enjoy it alot it has some amazing characters

[@kirapeters8881]

Maus I and Maus II by Art Spiegelman. Snotgirl. Delilah Dirk. Shattered Warrior. READ MONSTRESS ALREADY!!! Also echoing other people's comments: Fullmetal Alchemist, Fruits Basket, Lumberjanes, and as I noticed you didn't really have many DC comics: Batgirl (the burnside ones specifically with Cameron Stewart), and Watchmen.

[@meshainworldland9569]

I love the seraph of the end it's my favorite vampire manga and anime

[@jedicathy]

You have to read Persepolis. Everyone has to read Persepolis. It's the same kind as Anne Frank's diary or I am malala but as a graphic novel and in Iran and it's one of the best graphic novel i read

[@Phoenix_playlists]

You need to read seraph of the end! It is so amazing!

[@YerWells]

Hello from Spain, I really hope you continue Blue Exorcist, it gets better as the story progresses and the characters are soooo likable!

[@saramorris4858]

seraph of the end is amazing! please give it a chance

[@farida6556]

great video, i love videos like these to spice up your channel 💕graphic novels are so underappreciated in the book community if you are looking for something light but interesting, i highly recommended Snow White with Red Hair (i know the title sounds really weird but what can ya do) I tend to like darker and more intricate stuff but this one provides the lightness that i need occasionally while still engaging me :) I know you aren’t a big fan of romance, and this one does have it, but I think that each character (especially the female lead) can still exist on their own as a strong character. i hope you find more graphic novels and manga to love ❤️❤️ keep being awesome jesse

[@MLauren35]

I am so curios about Wires and Nerve by Marissa Meyer ,illustrated by Douglas Holgate, it's a graphic novel about Iko from Lunar Chronicles, can't wait to get my hands on it.

[@ApitaToor]

Season 3 of my hero academia, it’s trailer has just come out and it’s so good!! Really do recommend watch the anime too! Also Blue exorcist is just as good the manga and anime.

[@lydiastamp7185]

One series I would recommend would be The Promised Neverland. It is AMAZING!

[@blainevanity6]

I’ve been recently reading manga and graphic novels and it’s all because of you and Emma ♥️♥️

[@betheltorres896]

Love your collection! Super enjoyed your tour! 😃

[@danahrncirova3646]

I'm currently watching seraph of the end anime and I'm really into it eventhough had my fun with vampires like 3 years ago and I don't really like stories about them anymore either. But I swear this is not about vampires as much as it is about friendship, revenge and family. :)

[@sophiawelsh754]

I would recommend Dimension W, Itsuwaribito, and Anonymous Noise. Especially Itsuwaribito, I feel it isn't looked upon much but it's pretty good to me. Love watching your videos. They help me find new things to read, so thank you!😀

[@nellyterrones6992]

I recently read Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign and it seemed interesting and true it is not your typical vampire story. So we follow the main characters Yuichiro and Mikaela at the beginning. A virus much of humanity except those under 13. The survivors aka children are enslaved by vampires who are now dominating the world. During that time, Mikaela and Yuichiro were around 8 and had lived in an orphanage with other kids, all of them become livestock.

[@OMGGitsCAROL]

I actually really enjoyed honor girl and the art style 😂 Amazing how opinions can vary so much! Love your shelves, makes me want to get more graphic novels :)

[@sarahthesusanreads832]

I highly recommend the manga called Clay Lord, it's only three volumes but its just so creative and I love it so much

[@DarkMistyDay]

My faves are - Mars, Paradise Kiss, Cardcaptor Sakura and Dragonball. I recently read My Friend Dahmer also and really enjoyed it

[@livialivwu]

Take a shot of water every time Jesse says volume.

[@amberoliver5444]

FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST!!! You WILL NOT regret it!

[@Merit747]

This is so cool! I love your vids so much jesse! You’ve gotten me into a lot of good books!! ❤️

[@hanifahsulistyoningrum1938]

this is what I've been waiting for

[@ItsDaniDee]

I'm pleased about 2 things. A, I didn't know you had that many manga/comics and B, you said Hawkeye was one of your favourite comics and I'm very happy and pleased about that. I love this series so much and it's just hella underrated. To suggest something, if you like Vikings you should definitely check out Vinland Saga. Great story and great hardbacks for your shelf :)

[@royaevereadsbooks]

Yay, I've always wanted to see your whole manga/graphic novel/comic collection :) Reindeer Boy intrigues me, might have to check it out. I love Ms. Marvel!

[@maryedits2514]

What about wires and nerves by Marisa Meyer?! TLC FOR LIFE

[@LeoLima-ks1xx]

Hey Jesse! There is this great manga called Fairy Tail, and I really recommend it, and there is an anime for it too, which is great!

[@mickey2664]

Jesse, I’m not into vampires either and did the same thing and bought seraph of the end by accident but it ended up being one of my favorite mangas of all time. I still don’t like vampires but i highly suggest giving seraph of the end a try because you might end up really enjoying it like I did

[@yukinera2279]

A silence voice is so good so I am pretty sure you will enjoy it

[@lukaanneveldt8839]

Lumberjanes is a comic series by the same author as nimona, so I’ll think you’ll enjoy it :) it’s about a group of friends getting into some fantastical adventures, I just picked it up so i don’t know too much yet but it seems very cool

[@AnnaWaytray]

lost at sea is one of my ffaaaaavourites but it certainly has a different feel so i can understand why some people wouldn't like it

[@hannahparsell1883]

Read Yona of the Dawn. All time favorite. Love love love this manga series. It's about a princess who is cast out of her castle and her journey to become a warrior. Lots of action, romance, and friendship.

[@sehra1234]

Seraph Of The End is great read it but i recommend the anime more

[@benportzer]

You seriously need anything New 52 Batman related in ypur collection, SO GOOD!

[@ADarkerShadeOfWhitney]

There need to be more of us who talk about graphic novels and manga! I'm def going to be checking out Children of the Whales now! You had me at Studio Ghibli!

[@Sapphire3929]

If you loved Orange you'll love A Silent Voice (the film is amazing too!). Other series I recommend are Yona of the Dawn, Aoharu x Machine Gun, To Your Eternity, and Princess Jellyfish.

[@AnnaWaytray]

4:08 his excitement sounds like bernie sanders and i am living for it

[@corabroadhurst1600]

Oh man Scott Pilgrim series! Bryan O’mally is my jam too! Also Wolf Girl is amazing too 😍

[@claudiadocio]

Where do you buy your marvel comics???

[@HyDrOpYrO777]

The saga series and also try the avatar the last air bender comics.

[@Lilvet98]

If you like Spider Gwen then I recommend Gwenpool. As for Manga I definitely recommend Fruits Basket.

[@samriccio7075]

My Hero is SO GOOD, I'm on vol 9 rn and a big thought for me is that this is literally the exact opposite of Vicious which makes it even better for me.

[@saramorris4858]

I got so happy when I saw psyren and children of the whales on your shelves. You should try reading the ancient magus bride, it's beautiful

[@bianca-ht1sy]

paper girls is amazing ( so many plot twists, so many erins )

[@literarymermaid4918]

U should do an updated one soon. Pleeeeease !!

[@carolinetaylor3069]

I'm reading Orange right now and it's really good! I definitely want to read more manga this year!

[@lindadaa]

I highly recommend reading the 2014 run of Black Widow (3 volumes), the art style is to die for and the story is really good too! Also the latest Doctor Strange (2016->) run, it's weird and at times disturbing but so so so gooood. If you can get your hands on Loki Agent of Asgard (3 volumes) and Angela Queen of Hel (just one volume), I can highly recommend those too!

[@lindadaa]

OH! and I know you said Deadpool isn't your thing, but give Gwenpool a try! There's just one pretty recent longer run (that just ended), so it's easy to start from the beginning, and it's not what you'd expect (alos most of the art is by Gurihiru😍😍). I'm not a huge fan of Deadpool, and I don't read him on his own, but I've really been enjoying Spiderman/Deadpool. It's funny and surprisingly sweet😊

[@carolinetaylor6988]

You should read Akame ga Kill! It's about assassins and it's kind of similar in that aspect to Throne of Glass but it's still different. It's amazing though! I really have to continue with the series because I've only read the first and I really have to refresh my memory on that series. I don't really read manga or watch anime very often, but one anime I really liked is Parasyte and I think if you don't mind gore, you'd love that series.

[@lfxo2273]

Caroline Taylor uuuuuuh I will have to look up this one I love assassins books but I have never read any mangas or graphic books of any kind I will be trying this one because you made it sound awesome :)

[@carolinetaylor6988]

It's really good! It's also a great first manga/anime to get into because it's not that intimidating and it's a very quick read! Enjoy! :)

[@lfxo2273]

Thank you! I’m sure I will enjoy it 😁❤️

[@venusgamingsd2933]

Try assassination classroom ! It's my favourite of all time !

[@Val-tr6ve]

Inuyasha has to be my all time favorite manga along with the manga adaptation of umineko no naku koro ni >.< and Jesse your collection is amazing

[@adamzineddin-_-4890]

I have watched seraph of the end and let me tell you it’s amazing even if you dislike vampires it will get you hooked right away!!!!!!!! I recommend it 100%

[@bettelort1614]

I watched the anime for Seraph of the End, and i dont know if the manga is the same, but the anime was really good

[@Ykhraam]

Watching this video filled my desktop with screencaps! gotta check out a bunch of this stuff later

[@Darklinknight-7-9]

*Fudge!!!! You scared me to death with that intro !!!*

[@saranghaeyaki]

My favorite manga series are Special A, Fushigi Yuugi, Ookami Shoujo To Kuro Ouji, Ranma 1/2, Detective Conan, Orange, ZE. There are less drama in these manga series (except Orange of course) because I don't read much of heavy dramas & I don't want to hurt myself/my feelings when I could actually just chill and laugh on manga with light stories.
