Kami no Hidarite Akuma no Migite

Complete | UMEZU Kazuo | 2000 released

This manga is horrifying, and the fact that it's told from a small child's perspective makes it even more fucked up. It leaves the readers confused and really grossed out, and I'm still wondering if it's all happening in his head, and if he really is dreaming. With that being said, this is not what I expected, and it's disgusting, but I'm reading surprisingly quickly.

Vinland Saga

Ongoing | yukimura makoto | 2005 released

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. 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.

Fuan No Tane

Complete | Nakayama Masaaki | 2004 released

I have mixed opinions about this manga. I loved the many scary panels, but really wanted the stories to be longer. They don't get to evolve when they're so short, but I also understand that a lot has to be interpreted by the readers--even so a little disappointing. The first volume is the best in my opinion.

The Lighthouse

Complete | itou junji | 2019 released

The art style is stunning and very nice to look at. I wish it was longer, and contained more depth.

Haikyuu!!

Complete | furudate haruichi | 2011 released

I love each and everyone of the characters equally. There's so much to say, but I feel no words can ever justify the feeling of reading this for the first time. The aspect of growth is something I absolutely love about this story, but also how it focuses on different people and their respective development. Hinata is a great MC, and has proven that no matter what or when you find your passion, it is possible to succeed in doing what you love.

Kimetsu no Yaiba

Complete | Gotouge Koyoharu | 2016 released

This is such an impactful story. The focus on love, friendship and companionship was amazing. The plot was interesting all the way to the end, and I don't remember reading a story this quickly. I loved the mystical aspect to Sun Breathing and the origins of the Demon Slayer Corps. With that being said, it also broke my heart, but I won't be going into detail about that.

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 the 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.

Jujutsu Kaisen

Ongoing | Akutami Gege | 2000 released

Extremely interesting plot and concept, but the story gets more and more fucked as it goes on. Highly recommend for those who enjoy great fight scenes. This manga has many likeable characters, though the composition and structure of the story can get confusing at times.

Boku no Hero Academia

Ongoing | Horikoshi Kouhei | 2000 released

133/432. Action-based manga with an interesting plot. I love the creativity with all the different Quirks, and also all the character growth that happens gradually throughout the series. This is such a great story with such impatful plotlines and characters. Everyone should read this, in my opinion. You go into this thinking you'll read about young people training to be heroes, but that proves to be the mere tip of the iceberg.

Usagi no Mori

Ongoing | Enjo | 2018 released

I don't even know where to start with this one, but was not anything like I was expecting. My heart breaks for Tamaki with what he's been through, and what he has had to endure throughout his childhood. I was deeply saddened by it all, and the feeling never seemed to go away as I continued reading. Deals with a lot of issues, for sure, and it may not be for everyone.
