Ranking Inio Asano Manga Worst to Best!

[@ThePromG]

Thanks for checking out the video! How would you rank Inio Asano's manga?

[@ForceDeth76]

From what I've read so far: 1. Goodnight Punpun 2. Solanin 3. Girl on the Shore Girl on the shore I find the worst but don't think its as bad as people say

[@drcashmoney7507]

Punpun Nijigahara holograph Girl on the shore Solanin DDD I haven't read downfall and what a wonderful world

[@drcashmoney7507]

@@ForceDeth76 I don't think girl on the shore is bad at all. The oversexualisation is important for the plot and I think the behavior of the characters is very fitting for the setting. I also really like the ending

[@jakedeadpool5877]

Pun pun Solanin Downfall Girl of the shore Dead dead demons I like them all though

[@ryancadek]

Goodnight punpun just hits different, its easily my personal favorite but I don't recommend to many people because of how depressing it is, it feels way to real

[@temcie2788]

sorry to ask but does it has a hard english language? I mean if there are a lot more difficult words just yk bc I'm a German but I want to order it on english but idk I guess when I'm disstracted by translating words it would be not thaaaat intensive (you know what I mean?)

[@by_blood]

@@temcie2788 I'm czech and I didn't need to search up any words, it depends on your level of english but judging from the way you type, I'd say it'd be fine.

Punpun had me so fucked up inside, I think it has had a lasting depressing effect on me, cause goddam do I feel like shit even more often than before. Still one of my absolute favorites up there with Made in Abyss, Steel Ball Run, Berserk, Chainsaw Man and Akira.

[@miloradbulatovic9711]

Sorry for bothering...I have read all of your favourite but Made in Abyss I have not read...is must read ...?

[@austin5259]

@@miloradbulatovic9711 It's certainly not for everyone, but I would definitely say yes, the world building is very well done, the art (especially the backgrounds) is gorgeous, the characters are very compelling with a villain (who's not even the final one) who's up there with Griffith in terms of impact and presence, and it actually feels like (even though I'm confident it won't happen) the main character could actually die if the author felt like it because the dangers of the world are actually that dangerous. It's also one of those excellent manga where I would say the anime actually surpasses it, especially considering the music.

[@jamaisvu8290]

My top 3 (in no specific order) are Solanin, Goodnight PunPun, and DDDD. Didnt know we had similar taste! :D

[@ThePromG]

As long as GOTS isn’t in your top 3 we good 🤝

[@caleb_artzs2533]

Punpun is probably his Iconic work, cause most his character design kinda blend with each other on how realistic they are, besides from Punpun himself.

[@gohanjr5748]

i think girl on the shore connects to the teenage / younger / young people changing into adults. as you are older and kinda past this stage, but the teens who read it, i feel it’s better suited to that demographic

[@whyareyoureadingthis5227]

It's super funny too considering it's an 18 plus book because of the content even though the message is for 15 to 17 year olds

[@zeynepexists]

i agree w you %100! i read this book when i was 16ish & i absolutely loved the manga, i loved the simplicity covered w teenage angst in it & i find that the characters were not likeable enough however they were young, immature & stupid which i believed were really real lol

[@MrAelin]

After mujina into the deep is published in English would be nice if you did a top tier since there's also the manga heroes now

[@robin586]

i loved a girl on the shore and really liked the characters, specially Isobe tho. idk, i thought their struggles were kinda relatable and i like to see a casual sex relationship being represented like that.

[@Ninjagobmka]

So you enjoy poop eating stuff?

[@spaceydragonmanga686]

I liked Dead dead alot, read 7 volumes and so far Inio Asano is really kicking it off with one of his best. I haven't read what a wonderful world and A girl on the shore, but after hearing your input on What a wonderful world I'll hope for some way to pick this up! Thanks for the video m8

[@katherinereign1058]

The anime is currently on Crunchyroll. Just wanted to let you know :)

[@aww2593]

Love Ontan's brother. He cracks me up every time he's in play - the character design is just great. Pumped to get my hands on the next volume in a few days

[@ThePromG]

Yeah Ontan’s brother is probably my favorite supporting character, everything about him is just hilarious

[@katherinereign1058]

​​@@ThePromGIk this video is older but the anime is on Crunchyroll rn and I haven't heard enough people talk about the adaptation and want to hear your thoughts on it in a video sometime! Even though you mainly talk about mangas

[@modernadmiral]

Love this format ranking mangakas works. Would be super interesting seeing a video on this on osamu tezuka.....though i suspect it wouldnt be short 😂 Not so many mangatubers talk about and have read as much osamu tezuka as you, and its a shame.

[@ThePromG]

A Tezuka ranking is definitely on the way, though I can’t promise when it’ll come out. At this point I’ve read 33/38 of his English physical series, so once I read the rest I can start recording 🙌

[@modernadmiral]

@ThePromG Oh awesome! Excited and looking forward to it!!! 33/38 is impressive. Will definitely be worth the wait. But also sad when there is nothing left for you to read by him 😅

[@BearPondersGames]

I just finished Punpun this morning. An absolute masterpiece. Looking forward to checking out more Asano work.

[@jennellem.1406]

I decided to start reading through all his manga recently as well. I read A Girl on the Shore like 4 years ago and it became one of my favorite books. I reread it again about a month ago and still loved it. I understand why people don't like it, but I personally related to a lot of the things in it which is probably why I like it so much. Plus it introduced me to Happy End which is a major plus! I'm about a quarter through Solanin right now and I'm enjoying it so far. I'm graduating from uni in June and am experiencing a lot of the same things so I think there couldn't be a better time for me to read it.

[@ThePromG]

I also read Solanin when I was in university, and it definitely hit hard then 😅 As for Girl on the Shore, I do hear that a lot of people relate to the story and that’s why they like it. Totally valid, seems to be a love it or hate it manga depending on your life experience!

[@jaudreyo]

YOURE A REAL ONE DEAD DEAD DEMONS IS THE BEST

[@doubles7951]

i really dont like the bad rep that girl on the shore gets bc to say its meaningless is just bad interpretation. i feel like to me i could connect with how he was feeling through the most part.

[@simoneriva1872]

Well, you’ll surely be happy to know that DDDD just got an anime adaptation announced. It’s also my favorite work from him, so I’m extremely excited.

[@Alexndrop___]

The anime is out!!! Its so good!!

[@Allonsyyyy]

Great video brother! 🤘

[@ThePromG]

Appreciate it brudda

[@davidreinanco3869]

I swear this video made me very happy. I´ve read a lot of Manga and i would say that my favourite one is Oyasumi Pun Pun. Last week i buyed the 3 first volumes of Dead Dead Demons because i wanted to give it a try and now i´m just waiting for them to arrive. Totally Hyped!!!!

[@TheMangaSloth]

Before I watch I am saying my fav is dedede but I know people will disagree with that haha.

[@something4556]

I love punpun so much, such a beautiful tragic story. Slice of life. Solanin is sad too but it has a happy ending

[@hamsadwitch5340]

I just started reading Inio Asano's manga and I started with pun pun and loved it. I should have watched this first because my next purchase was girl on the shore and it's not the worst manga I have ever read but I didn't like it. Wish I would've bought Solanin instead. Loved your video and now I'm going to start looking for Dead Dead Demon’s Dedededed.

[@DannyJapanny]

I really want to get into some inio asano probably want to get into goodnight punpun. I heard it was sad as shit. Great to see it's on your second spot. I never really knew the artwork from asano was this beautiful. Great video bro.

[@ThePromG]

I didn’t think Punpun was as sad as everyone says tbh, I think you’d really like it!

[@spaceydragonmanga686]

It's definitely different from most you've read. But I think you'll find some enjoyment?

[@chrissilver9302]

Very excited for the final volumes of dead dead demon's to get realized physically in english. I hope it starts to gain more notoriety once its more available. Its absolutely my favorite manga of all time. Inio Asano is just so good, making us nitpick between incredible works

[@ash_ketchuppppp4211]

dead dead demons is my favourite but the amount of respect i have for pun pun its so good

YES I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS

[@kittbittner9964]

Just ordered downfall, and girl on the shore today, i already have solanin and punpun so I’m almost there

[@HavenarcBlogspotJcK]

I absolutely did not enjoy Oyasumi PunPun. It provides the reflection that I was not prepared for, and it changed me. It put me in a dark place. It is no doubt the best slice of life I've ever read. it hurted me deeply. But that's the only way I can compliment this piece of art. It's wasn't fun for me. It's a fucking masterpiece.

[@hiromaster666]

It's funny because in france we have also Hikari no Machi and Sekai no Owari to Yoakemae that where translated and got a phisycal release.

[@toadynose89]

I read DDDD first and thats what got me into Inio Asano. Really love his artwork and narrative. However, I've read Goodnight PunPun and just started vol 2 and my goodness it's so bleak and depressing. Very good read but think I might have to take a break from it cos I felt so down today after reading it.

Goodnight Pun-Pun . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Solanin . . . . . . . . . . Girl on the Shore . Holograph Downfall What a wonderful World none of these mangas are remotely bad. What a wonderful world just didn't hit me in the feels as much as the other. Goodnight Pun-Pun is god tier, I don't think there's ever been anything like it that's this long in manga while incorporating slice-of-life and have constant growth in the characters, mainly punpun who tragically goes downhill every time we see him. Solanin is just a fantastic relatable story, I read it in high school towards the end and it really hit me. Girl on the shore always suprised me, the male character interested me because I was personally in that mindset he was in throughout the story including this want to be some type of punisher. The female is interesting too, what I loved is all the characters were shitty people, all laying in the gray area. Also the male character just mentally getting healthier after meeting the girl in the picture showed how young and immature he really is and I think it works. Holograph really interested me, it's the manga that probably got me thinking the most about it after finishing from Asano's library. There's still stuff I don't get haha. Downfall is great! What I love about is that it's the least dramatic out of all the other mangas, it's more realistic, even Solanin had some elements that didn't feel real, it's short and straight to the point. What a wonderful world's wacky at times yet brutal moments really make it stand out but it ultimately isn't Isano's peak story telling.

[@temerianlillies]

Punpun is my favorite, but DDDD is slowly replacing that with what’s happening in the story at the moment

[@chrisreadingcorner3816]

So far I have read Solanin and Girl on a shore not sure what to read next

[@colemacuba1146]

Goodnight punpun simply changed my perspective it made me want to read more manga and I understand the people who say it’s a series that you only read it once but I would probably read it again because of the feeling I have after reading it. It’s very depressing and brings a feeling of dread while reading it but at the end it feels like a weight lifting for punpun and for me it’s very euphoric at the end at least IMO.

[@ThePromG]

I agree

[@RadaSmada]

Definitley need to reed solanin, I don't know why I haven't yet it sounds like exactly what I need

@@gohanjr5748 no specific order, each series is it’s own individual story with its own themes. I always recommend reading punpun or solanin first as those are two of asano’s most prolific works, and they are also complete so don’t have to wait for chapters
