ultimate manga recs guide ft MAL // 21 manga series you need to read NOW

[@lilmisfits77]

My style is usually to collect a manga series only after watching the anime and liking it enough to spend on the manga volumes. Whether its a complete series or not. It has the rereading factor. The only first series i just started collecting without all that is, in the clear moonlit dusk. Something about the plot hits home. 🤭

[@Rent-z5y]

what about manga that don't have anime?

[@lilmisfits77]

@@Rent-z5y it’ll be hard to start because I don’t wanna spend on series I don’t know if i’d like. People’s taste differs from mine. In the clear moonlit dusk is the first and only one i’ve tried.

[@queercoding6518]

Same!!

[@iclaimthisname9767]

Same. Mangas are so expensive, I can't just buy them and hope for the best lol The only ones I've bought without watching the anime is Witch Hat Atelier (but I watched a youtube video on the paneling so it wasn't completely foreign to me) and cat + gamer (can't go wrong with a simple slice of life with a cute cat, right?)

[@TheFanartFREAK24]

I'll definitely look in to Gachiakuta, Gokurakugai and Marriage Toxin! Also I'd recommend Go! Go! Loser Ranger! it got an anime adaptation recently and it's really good pretty unique!

[@mangatama]

Hope you enjoy all three of those series!! And omg thank you so much for the rec, I'll definitely be checking it out!!

[@LucienSabre]

Paradise Kiss is actually a sequel/spin-off of another Ai Yazawa’s series called “Gokinjo Monogatari” (released in english with the title “Neighborhood Story” I believe), whose female lead is the older sister of Miwako - the second female lead in Paradise Kiss. It’s a high school romance but still centers about fashion and creators too….if you love Paradise Kiss, you’re gonna **adore** Gokinjo. 💗💗

[@mariag.1670]

Great video! March comes in like a lion is my favourite manga ever and I didn't expect you to mention it! It's so underrated, but soooo good, I love the cast and the character growth, and I love Rei so much! You have good taste!!!!

[@Pumpkin36408]

[@mangatama]

thank you so much :)) I appreciate it a lot!!

[@naruokami1]

Snow White with the Red Hair NEEDS to be on this list! It's such a smartly-written, enchanting title with beautiful artwork and amazing characters!❤❤❤ Can't recommend it enough!

[@BlueButterfly1514]

What’s it about?

[@naruokami1]

@@BlueButterfly1514 It's about Shirayuki, an herbalist with extremely rare red hair, and Zen, the second prince of the neighboring kingdom. I'm not doing this amazing series justice though, so here's an excerpt from the wiki for the anime: "Although her name means "snow white", Shirayuki is a cheerful, red-haired girl living in the country of Tanbarun. She works diligently as a pharmacist at her herbal shop. Her life changes drastically when she is noticed by the entitled prince of Tanbarun, Prince Raji, because of her rare red hair. He tries to force her to become his concubine. Unwilling to give up her freedom, Shirayuki cuts her long red hair, leaving it as a souvenir for the prince, and escapes into the forest of the neighboring country of Clarines. After being found by the Raji, she is rescued by Zen Wistaria, the second prince of a Clarines, and his two aides. Hoping to repay her debt to the trio someday, Shirayuki sets her sights on pursuing a career as a royal court pharmacist in Zen's country. Akagami no Shirayuki-hime depicts Shirayuki's journey toward a new life at the royal palace of Clarines, as well as Zen's endeavor to become a prince worthy of his title. As loyal friendships are forged and deadly enemies formed, Shirayuki and Zen slowly learn to support each other as they walk their own paths."

[@angelsdoexist]

OMG i love the paradise kiss anime, I really need to buy the manga. It's been on my to-buy list for ages.

[@OtakuVoce]

Very good lists, many manga that I didn't know and got to know in this video. Your videos are very relaxing, good luck to you!!!

[@monochrome__]

Gokurakugai is amazing. Great story and stunning artwork.

[@mangatama]

yes!! I was pretty amazed right after finishing the first volume. It's incredible!

[@CR1TICAAL]

Sakamoto days is absolutely amazing! And thanks for the recs ❤

[@azzzana]

LOVE these recommendations!! I really recommend Mairimashita! Iruma-kun ( or welcome to demon school iruma kun) The manga is sooo amazing and filled with so much lovable characters with great relationship building as well as plenty of action and the comedy is top tier. Although in short it’s about a Human boy who gets adopted by a demon and now has to navigate going to a demon school it’s just so much fun and the STORY is amazing!! It’s also filled with so much underlying themes!! I just want everyone to read it. It also has a anime which is just as great. (but the manga is better!!)

[@cursedstone7939]

I like that you actually show the manga physically. Personally, Im turned off by videos that just recommend series just by showing the digital pictures

[@TheEndlessEgoist]

Smoking Behind the Supermarket With You is such a wholesome and comfy read

[@monika-we8tx]

16:40 AAAH march comes in like a lion!!!! 😭 i've been following on every single chapter of it. i absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE it. it's a bit hard to read, especially if you know nothing about shogi, and there's quite a bunch of dialogue on each panel, but i enjoy it. really.

[@vitcopnum]

Definitely looking into Gokurakugai, looks so fun!!! Love your videos ❤🤌!!

[@mangatama]

omg YAS HOPE YOU ENJOY IT!! thank YOU so much 🙂‍↕️🫵

[@carolinechandler7060]

World Trigger should definitely be on the list! It is a super great shonen series! It is underrated, but in my opinion way better then a lot of the the popular series!❤

[@a.a677]

[@TheBookSanctum]

I've never heard of most of these books, but so many sound really good - I'll have to see if my library has any of them!

[@authormichellefranklin]

Love Sakamoto Days so much. One of the funniest books I've ever read. Witch Hat Atilier is amazing so far. I have to get Gokurakugai. Would also recommend Yotsuba& for beginners-- one of my favourites (waiting for Vol. 16!)

[@I_Be_Mickey]

I know I'm a little late on the video lol, but I always recommend at least two or three manga to everyone. #1 Case Closed, or known as Detective Conan in Japan, worth reading for those whole love mysteries and solving crimes. #2 Kitchen Princess, a sweet/bittersweet manga about an orphan girl moving to tokyo to find her long lost "Flan Prince" who saved her life when she was little, and is an amazing chef/baker I can not recommend this series enough! My #3 will be Red River, a girl travels back in time falls in love with a prince and debates weather or not to try and go back to her own time or stay with the man she loves. Also worth the read and recently republished into an omnibus!

[@Raddoll-25]

I LOVE GACHIAKUTA!!!!!! It’s actually coming out with an anime that I think is animated by studio bones!!

[@mangatama]

omg SO EXCITING!!! thanks for letting me know yayy

[@Deno8818]

Another amazing video 😇 love how you are detailed and show your love for it all 🙏 hope you continue to upload videos 🖤

[@Crystal_cookie8]

Do you have twisted wonderland? I think it’s a very good manga series

[@bbeliever1]

Sakamoto Days reminds me of The way of the house husband. Drastic career and life changes and comedic hijinx done well. Brilliant 👌🏾

[@stirlingj6109]

Super great video 💜💜💜

[@19Rena96]

I LOVE Call the Name of the Night! ♥

[@mangatama]

I’m loving it so so much right now too!!! 💕💕

[@GuitarHero-tk4tc]

Thank you so much for the recommendations!! A manga I’d recommend is “3 days of happiness” The manga has also a different name but I forgot what it’s called, I’m sorry😭

[@atramentousobiectium]

Thanks a lot for the recommendations

[@drillmind124]

The recommendations are fire. Keep it up ❤❤

[@mangatama]

Thank you so much!!! I appreciate it a lot :))

[@HadrianDan]

Gokurakugai is like Berserk and 5th one is similar to Elemental Gelade but hard to find the name. Skip looks okay. Neat will probably read those. Plus Tongue and Call the Night.

[@SwaritPratapSingh-w3y]

Blue box is such a refreshing manga. Even though it serializes in Shonen Jump, it feels like a shojo manga... It is definitely recommended to all romance lovers.

[@amandak.4246]

i like usotoki rhetoric and think associate professor akira-kun's conjecture is similar and maybe better, although i like the novels better than the manga. the main character also can hear lies and joins up with someone to solve mysteries, but it's set in current day.

[@Agemus6139]

I really like March Comes in Like a Lion.

[@kimchijams]

i have a question, as we all know that some of the mangas from this list is getting a anime soon, so wouldn't it spoil it for me if i read the manga first? i have seen people reading manga when the adaptation gets announced, but i have tried it once and it spoiled it all for me, i couldn't enjoy it fully

[@kaonashi39]

have u read solanin? i recommend it if u haven't! i''ve read some of your recs and they're my fav too >

[@anon14594]

Added a few of these to my TBR ✍ Also, unrelated, but I love that necklace you're wearing! Where's it from?

[@nimbus68]

A series I recommend is Blue Giant. If you want to feel inspired to do something, watch the movie or read the manga. If you love music or into the music industry, you HAVE to watch or read it! It is my personal favorite animanga ever, so I'd recommend it!! 🗿🍷

[@mangatama]

omg I really do love Blue Giant!! I watched the movie and then immediately RAN to the manga, it's amazing!! I haven't finished reading but can't wait to finish ~ thank you so much for the rec

[@Nezukokawaiii]

I ordered wind breaker 1-4 I'm really excited to see what the manga is like ( Saw the anime ) Do you think you'll get it too? 👀
