To You, The Immortal

Ongoing | ooima yoshitoki | 2016 released

I started out with the anime not know anything about it, and I must say that I fell in love with Fushi and everything about the plot and concept. It has many plot twists, and the readers never really know what will happen next. It's so fucking sad, and I've cried my eyes out many times. Some people think being immortal is one of the best things that could ever happen (in terms of superpowers), but this manga really shows how lonely everything gets at some point.

Boku no Hero Academia

Ongoing | Horikoshi Kouhei | 2000 released

Action-based manga with an interesting plot. I love the creativity with all the different Quirks, and also all the character growth. It has some devastating moments, and I lost time of how many times I've cried. All characters (almost all) are so easy to like and relatable, too.

Bastard (hwang Youngchan)

Complete | Carnby Kim,Youngchan Hwang | 2015 released

SUMMARY [There is a serial killer in my house!] I've been sitting for a few moments to take everything in. This manhwa is fantastic. The plot is incredible, and it has so many plot twists that made me sit anxiously in my seat. The colour palette is perfect for the plot, and it makes everything seem even more disturbing. Jin's father is truly sick, twisted and manipulative, and it clearly shows many times, and I never would have guessed this to be the ending. One of the best manhwas I've ever read, and I definitely recommend!

Blue Lust

Complete | Hinako (ひなこ) | 2015 released

SUMMARY [On a hot summer afernoon, Hayato meets the new transfer student name Souma, who has not been able to adapt to the new environment. Hayato always manages to be in Souma's sight, and thinks he will be able to take care of him. The familiar touch allows Souma to familiarize with the environment, until he's able to smile once more. All the while Hayato tries to fix things from his past.] This is a beautiful manga, and I love everything about it. Seriously, everything.The pacing is good, the characters are amazing, even with their flaws. I love that Hayato had to confront his past, and that he didn't want to run away from it anymore. Seeing his perspective on everything was really interesting, and I loved that the readers see his inner conflicts and feelings. I enjoyed how Souma and Hayato found each other again after their fall out + the little time skip at the end was everything to me. (Souma looks cute with glasses).

Vinland Saga

Ongoing | yukimura makoto | 2005 released

SUMMARY [Thorfinn is son to one of the Viking's greatest warriors, but when his father is killed in battle by the mercenary leader Askeladd, he swears his intent to have revenge. Thorfinn joins Askeladd's group in order to challenge him to a duel, and ends up caught in the middle of a war for the crown of England.] This manga is one of the best ones I've ever read. I started out with the anime, and immediately fell in love with the characters, plot and everything in-between. Thorfinn's character development is so beautiful, yes, beautiful--going from a young boy who's driven by rage and revenge to a man with understanding and compassion for other people. What can I say? I love this manga with all my heart, especially the small amounts of historical accuracy, which makes it all so much more interesting to read.

Avatar: The Last Airbender - The Lost Adventures

Complete | bryan konietzko, michael dante dimartino | 2000 released

SUMMARY [The first twenty-six stories in Book 1 & 2 take place during the Avatar: The Last Airbender animated series, and show you what Aang and the gang were up to between your favorite episodes. The last two stories are special bonus adventures that take place further off the beated path.] I really liked reading these short stories after rewatching the serie yet again. They were cute, funny and entertaining, and they give more information and depth to the story we already know.
