Hell yeah! If you read even 1 page of a cliche manga, you KNOW it's gonna be cliche. But that's part of why it's so good, it's predictable and easy to understand. If you know what's coming, you'll know if you'll like it or not. Certain tropes and plots became cliches for a reason,ya? People liked it and writers keep on writing about it. Just because it's been told a million times, doesn't mean it'll be any less good. Cliches are basically guilty pleasures, I can't help but like it. Also, about intricate mangas being boring? I relate. It's probably because most of those stories are a bit gloomy and slow. Intricate mangas are usually trying to discuss important issues/message/stories so it can't exactly throw in a dumb/funny moments in there. That's not a bad thing btw, that's just how it is. And you just might not like that, and that's fine.
Just my thought anyway, of course what you like depends on your taste, and everyone's got a different taste,ya? Love what you love.
Does anyone else prefer clichés sometimes to a manga with an actual good plot?? Like... when I read a complex manga with an intricate plot and beautifully drawn art I’m like this is boring :/ But when I read a manga that literally has every single cliché known to man in it I’m like holy shit this is so good!!!!1!1!!1!1!!1!!!1111!
