The Drifting Classroom. Couldn't put it down. Went through all 3 hardcover volumes one after the other. Close second would probably be My Neighbor Seki. Not finished them all yet (I think I still have vol 9 to get) but it's great for dipping into between heavier manga/comics, and ALWAYS hilarious😂

I gotta checkout A Bride's Story at some point. I also have most of the volumes for Erased (they were released as separate volumes here) so I could start that pretty soon here.I watched the anime for it, which I really liked even if the ending wasn't the greatest. I started reading some series that I already had in my collection, but which I hadn't read yet. One of my favorites there was Tokyo Ghoul. I got Tokyo Ghoul:Re as a Christmas present so I'm reading that now as well. I'm also reading Naoki Urasawa's Monster, which I've been loving as well!

@@ThePromG From what I've heard, the manga is the way to go for sure. Apparently, the anime is kind of bad. But the manga I can confirm is really good, it just takes a bit of time to get going, at least it did for me and some others. Still, completely worth the read!

Thank you so much: I discovered "A bride's story" and "Erased" through your video. I've already read all 14 volumes of "A bride's story" and I'm currently reading "Erased". Both absolute masterpieces in their own right and they've made their way straight into my top 10. Without your video I would probably never have discovered both works. So thank you again. Precisely because you present such special manga so often and don't always only talk about mainstream works, for me you are one of the best manga creators on KZitem. Keep up the amazing content. Best regards and love from Germany.

Erased vs Eraserhead 😂 Seriously though, a few years ago, I must have gone to the comic/manga shop at least 50 times looking for the next Erased. I have bought a lot of Kei Sanbe works over the years because he has some cute art, but it was never about the writing. That jump from past Sanbe works to Erased is so big in quality, I was shocked. I'm glad they gave the book the hardcover treatment, which Yen Press rarely does, so that I actually picked it up to read. The jump was even bigger to me than from Gantz to Inuyashiki.

For my Top 5 Mangas that I read for 2023, they would be: 5. Uzumaki 4. Jojo Part 9: THE JOJOLANDS 3. Heavenly Delusion 2. 20th Century Boys (+ 21st Century Boys) 1. Inside Mari Inside Mari was the fastest 80 chapters I went through in one day and my 2nd and 3rd spots could be interchangeable. Aside from that, I honestly don't read that much manga these days to avoid burnout and to max out on my experience on mangas that I would like to read.

My favorites this year (in no particular order) are : 5- Dorohedoro ( I first read it online many years ago, and started rereading it as it was being released in my country, completed the collection mid 2023) 4- Nick & Lever ( Really funny comedy manga, love everything about the series) 3- A lot of Junji Ito manga ( This year I basically only bought Junji Ito, 15 in total, haven't read all of them yet) 2- Golden Wind ( Same situation as Dorohedoro, I first read it with that horrible translation that basically removed any personality any character had, and (for me, personally) ruined the story, reading it again in my native language and with a good translation made me really enjoy and appreciate more JoJo's part 5) 1 - Miyamoto Musashi by SHOTARO ISHInoMori ( I went into this manga having already read Vagabond, so it was really fun to compare the different way ISHInoMORI and Inoue presented to us Musashi's story, the art is beautiful, the action scenes are amazing and easy to follow, I loved everything about it.)

Hirano and Kagiura is a spinoff series to Sasaki and Miyano. Poji (positive) & Nega (negative) there are paired volumes only available in Japanese from my knowledge.
