Ongoing | kim carnby,cheon beomsik | 2000 released

Ayo my best friend recommended it 2 me (thx, luv ya) and I started reading yesterday afternoon (30.03.24). I got horrible nightmares ngl and as I woke up around 1am I continued reading. Rn I‘m chap 25. it’s ez to read and it’s hella creepy. I love the protag but I’m kinda scared of him as well Edit: it’s currently morning & I finished reading. I feel so empty I ADORE THE PROTAG! JUST READ IT AND YOU‘LL KNOW WHAT I MEAN But for real, mind blowing twists, great character design, beautiful & simple art, easy to read etc…

Monster

Complete | Urasawa | 1994 released

Sooooo I read it long ago but I just forgot to add it to my „already read“-list. Actually, 4 years ago I started watching anime. Monster, Chainsaw Man and Tokyo Revengers made me read manga and I‘ve stuck with it ever since. I love Monster, such an amazing story telling and the characters are well written. I‘m reading 20th Century Boys rn, another work from Urasawa. Idk why but Monster is kinda my comfort anime. It doesn’t really make sense, but whenever I remember monster I feel great. Please go ahead and read this manga!

Vagabond

Ongoing | Inoue Takehiko | 1998 released

[spoiler] Heard it’s dark. Gimme that (to my future self: don’t cringe, I don’t mean it like that) Edit: now chap 59 (25.03.24) Edit: I‘m currently chap 79 (27.03.24). My thoughts: I HATE MATAHACHI AND HIS MOTHER he’s so annoying for nothing bro wtf Edit: chap 242 and I kinda cried. Not because she died, but because Musashi suffered enough and I suffer with him. I decided to be even more dramatic and reread the scene while listening to „love story“ TwT (10.04.24) Edit: it’s evening rn, chapter 268, I‘ll continue reading tomorrow. Also, Matahachi kinda nice currently (10.04.24) Edit: currently chap 301. it’s a bit confusing ngl. I don’t wanna see Kojirou, I wanna see Musashi T-T (16.04.24) Edit: chap 317. It’s gonna end in 10 chaps. I think I‘m gonna finish it today T-T (19.04.24) Edit: I just finished it. I feel really empty but I didn’t cry. Usually, I cry because it ends but this one doesn’t really end:( It was great. (20.04.24)

20th Century Boys

Complete | Urasawa Naoki | 1999 released

Same author as Monster. I‘ll give it a try Started on Monday, I‘m currently chap 62 (ik I‘m slow af). Well, it’s Urasawa, of course it’s great duh Edit: Chap 130, idk why the hell I didn’t write the date on the previous update, but rn it’s the 18th of june. Love it) Edit: Chap 183. I‘m literally binge reading it right now. OMG I LOVE THIS SO MUCH! Will definitely be at least in my top 10! Geeeeeez I hope I‘ll finish reading it in a few days. But actually, I don’t wanna finish this masterpiece, it’s just so ducking good. And OH MY, what’s with the faceless Fukubei? And I feel so sorry for Sadakiyo, literally has the kindest soul. A lot of the characters are really likeable, love them all. Edit: I just finished it. It’s not finished yet, there’s 21th Century Boys. Bro, it was so fucking great. Incredible, I have no words. My thoughts: I hate Fukubei and this one psycho friend, mainly because they were so mean towards my Sadakiyo-hun. God, I love the story writing. Also, friend is one of the coolest antagonists in manga history. Urasawa never disappoints! …well, let’s see what I think when I finish reading 21th Century Boy. (22.06.24) Edit: Geez… I still think about it a lot. I‘ve read some articles about it and now I understand it more. It’s really complicated, y‘all should watch an Analyse. I love my Sadakiyo-honey<3 but now for real, he‘s my comfort character, I just love him so much! (26.06.2024)
