I love watching these while doing things like cleaning

I had my eyes on The Summer Hikaru Died for a while now and finally decided to give it a try when I saw it was nominated for 2 Eisner Awards... LOVED it, and now I can't wait for the anime :)

👍🏽❤️

When an underated channel talks about an underated manga

Yep, you are definitely keeping up with the 'feeling happy and so well' readings with Boy's Abyss, that's the perfect way to await the new Asano's series, right? lol. Those who does not love to feel like shit every now and then doesn't know what means to be a Minnesota Vikings fan, I'll tell you. You got me hooked on Heart Gear, just started to collect the manga, so thank you for another good tip. And yeah, Kaguya-Sama is complete, and in my opinion is the best shoujo ever, hands down. Not a shoujo expert by any means though, so proceed by your own risk lol. Well, don't bother with the long videos mate, that's great to hear you talking about a lot of different things, it's way better than just see someone just showing random manga volume covers for the sake of showing it. Keep the good work, it's beeing awesome!

If you read nana u should also read ai yazawas other manga called paradise kiss it’s a romantic one but it’s also about a fashion business pretty good

Another banger brother, appreciate you and your videos 🤘💯

Snow Ball Earth looks neato. Also you have an uncanny resemblance to Aesop Rock. Wild as hell, genuinely.

Man, when I saw your glowing recommendation on Heart Gear a while back, I was sold on the pitch and picked up the volumes, and I was instantly hooked. Had a delay in shipping for volumes 3, and when both 3 and 4 came, I was overjoyed to pick it up again. Then looking at the news that the manga ending at volume 7 right after reading felt like a car crash.. Granted, the mangaka took an extended break after Valhalla, but I feel like hearing that the journey is almost over in a few volumes, just... SUCKS! The worldbuilding is capital A-mazing, and I saw it would span at least 10+ volumes, but... Now I am slouched to know that the end is near.. As sad as it is to know this, I cope with the fact that the length may have a good enough send-off, and will continue reading physical to find out where it goes. Going along with this being a journey spanning a few volumes, I would recc you, EC, to check out "Tsugumi Project" if you haven't. Same length, same narrative structure with a different story beat and goal, and a post-apocalypse setting.

Complain about The Fable 2. I still haven't gotten mine from that company either. I got a $15 code & they said they plan to get it on the 23rd of this month. Does suck to see it in stores physically & I can't get it because this company said I can't cancel my order.

Maaaan.. Succubus & Hitman is a guilty pleasure of mine. Like I KNOW it's bad, but I like it. Like John Waters movies.

That is the best description of Boy's Abyss; made me cackle. I make the same face / same unsure laughter when describing it to people 😅

Thank you so much for the shout out dude! Very excited to see what you think of King In Limbo and The Summer Hikaru Died! Can't wait to see that Junji Ito video!

What manga/books/comics have you picked up recently?

HIGHLY reccomend Liar Game, Tomodachi Game, and Usogui- You will LOVE them

thanks man, great review. I work for a publishing house and I had to decide whether to license this in Spanish or not and it helped me a lot.

Hard!

Man…. I hope this gets an English release some day. Green blood as well

I've read the first four volumes of Deadman Wonderland and I've been really enjoying it! I need to continue. I haven't read Doubt but I've read the first volume of Dead Company and I'm planning on picking up the other two vols this month. It was pretty good and very fast paced, maybe too fast paced? I'll see after the rest and see if it ends up feeling a bit rushed. I've been trying to decide if I want to try High-Rise Invasion. I started watching the anime but I think I stopped a couple of episodes before the end for some reason. I really enjoyed the premise though so I'm tempted to give the manga a go. It's been in and out of my basket so many times lol! Alice in Borderland is one of my favourite things, even though I'm not that far into it. It's just such a great series! I own it all now, so no excuses!!

Deadman Wonderland is definitely one of my favorites of all time! I hope to see a reboot one day as theres still a lot of things they could cover💯

Another awesome vid my bro 🤘💯 watched the Alice in borderland series but the manga definitely looks a lot better tbh

Great video, as always! Haven't read any of these yet, but Alice in Borderland is on my TBR list - probably just jumped up a few places thanks to you 😉

Woohoo over an hour to listen to!! Alice in borderland was one of the most gripping series in general I’ve read and the best death game series I’ve read so far. Only read the first omnibus of Kaiji but I’ve enjoyed it so far. I thought Doubt was ok but didn’t like the ending, and I dropped deadman wonderland at vol 8 and dropped high rise invasion at whatever volume chapter 96 is. Just didn’t enjoy them enough to keep going

I am a sucker for the Death game/Dark isekai genre. And Alice in Borderland is TOP on my list for sure. Glad you like it so far, Banger series 👌

I don’t have a single good thing to say about Doubt. Worst manga I’ve read. It doesn’t get better. Was expecting something along the lines of the Zero Escape series but this was such a disappointment. Love your videos though

Finally, just made my day

We back 🙌🏾🙌🏾!!

Damn, this is a fantastic collection, probably the best I've ever seen. Respect.

Mortal Kombat Movie ending music?

The thing about Kagurabachi was that it was presented as such a generic manga that it was promoted as a meme to hype it up prior to its first chapter released. To the point that the japanese community noticed and was confused. So now that were not memeing on it, a lot of the 'following' died off and a lot of those who were 'hyped' for it have now turned to hate. I gave it a solid ~3 volume read and it is not terrible, and the art is great, but I really feel like this author lacks where Sakamoto Days excels. I struggle to give much of a damn for any character in Kagurabachi

I would love them to do omnibus editions of Blue Exorcist so you pick it up lol! It's one of my favs! The anime is great (the first two seasons, I'm saving the third season until I have time to binge it lol) but the manga is just fantastic. Trigun is a recent fixation for me. I watched the Trigun Stampede and fell in love and went back and watched the original series which was just amazing. The excitement I feel for the omnibus is ridiculous considering I didn't know it existed a couple of years ago! Cannot wait to read it!

Shelves details

Lots of amazing series to look forward to!! Also , I really hope Ichi the killer gets adapted as well! It’s a must I get Hikari Man !

Man, I would buy anything with the name Inio Asano on the cover, really. He has this unique ability to make me feel a piece of shit, broken and sad, but it's very cozy in a weird way lol. Also, Kagurabachi is really that good, I'm enjoying it so far, one of my favorite newest titles. Nice video, mate!

This manga is one of my absolute favorite things currently releasing. I’m so stoked to see where it goes. It’s so dramatic and creepy and goth.

So much to look forward to can’t wait 🤘

Im excited for the vagabond hardcovers because I had hold off on collecting the series and just had this feeling that it would happen eventually. Also not sure if its reliable but Amazon has the vagabond definitive edition realse date on jan 21 2025.

It's wild to see manga that I'd thought would never see the light of day get an english release get printed, the future for the english manga market is getting better. Plus it generally feels like we might get ichi the killer at somepoint & seven seas might do a Yamamoto line🤞tho I don't want to get my hopes up lol. Also a manga called confession was picked up this very unexpected, plus it written by Nobuyuki Fukumoto but illustrated by someone else so that got me excited 😁 it'll be out Nov/Dec 1 vol. Also looking forward to Gannibal & the climber.
