I can’t recommend one piece enough to all of you watching this video! It is a literal masterpiece. It’s goofy, it’s serious, it’s heartwarming and at the same time makes your heart shatter several times. It makes you feel things, it inspires. It gives you adventure and strong bonds. Compelling and very well written characters, word building and story writing in the highest tier. It is long, but it is worth that investment and time! I love the straw hats and so many of the many other well written characters. I love the world, I love the issues, motives and themes One Piece talks about and executes so very well. It’s comforting. It makes you laugh, it makes you feel free and adventurous. It makes you cry from joy. It makes you cry from sadness, frustration and desperation and the things so many of the characters went through. Like omg the times I’ve cried so much it actually hurt. Oof. And still it always brings back that silver lining on the horizon. I really appreciate One piece for that. Even after the darkest hours for some of the characters, it manages to appropriately show the negative emotions but still it brings you back and is optimistic in its very nature. Willpower, strength (and not just physical!! which is very important!) and bonds, be it through family or even more so the case with the straw hats through friends that are your family. I can’t recommend it enough as comfort and as something new! Read the manga (better pacing) and then watch the anime (voice cast is immaculate, the music, the sound, the animation it just adds so much; the pacing is slower though). I know some of the other ones as well like spy x family which I also love! But I will definitely be checking out some of the ones I don’t know! :)

Darker manga recommendation: Dorohedoro. I was surprised at how easily I was pulled into it and I read it I think for a Magical Readathon prompt a couple years ago, something like "out of comfort zone" or something.

Yes! Our Dining Table and Spy x Family were my recs to you. I am so happy you loved them! I'm also a huge fan of One Piece but didn't rec that one as I didn't think it fit the classification. Very happy you enjoyed that one too. PS - It's actually Zoro, not Zolo. There was some silly reason why they weren't allowed to use Zoro in the English translation but the original is Zoro.

Also loved the ancient magus bride. The art was just so pretty. Another super wholesome manga is Natsumes book of friends and it has an adorable chunky cat in it. For a light hearted romance Blue Sky complex and Classmates are amazing. The couples are just so adorable and the story follows the couples through to adulthood. And classmates has also a short animated movie which is so beautiful and captures Japan summer vibes so perfectly. For more psychological mangas, Monster is one of the top ones of all time. But already a little older so the art style might be a bit difficult.

I'm really enjoying this vid! And I'm also taking note of these cozy recommendations (other than Spy X Family cuz I love it!) For another Cozy manga recommendation, I would also recommend The Savior's Book Cafe! It's about a woman in her 30s who gets the chance to go to this other fantasy world and be their savior. But she doesn't really want the adventure, she just wants to open up a book cafe! I'm not gonna lie, I thought I was gonna get bored of it, but reading it is the equivalent of having a warm cup of cocoa during a cold winter's day! It's really heartwarming! And there is some action (not alot)

OK I have two suggestions for you. If you're open to more cozy mangas, I really like Witch Hat Atelier by Kamome Shirahama. It's a YA sort of historical fantasy, I think that the world-building is well done and the magic system is interesting. It focuses on friendship, found family, coming-of-age, and it is very wholesome overall. But I do think the story has enough intrigue and action and mystery to stay engaging. And I love the artwork. It's very sweet without being boring or bland. There are I think 10 or 11 volumes out right now, I've read the 8 so far. For a non-cozy manga I really like Dead Dead Demon's Dededede Destruction by Inio Asano. It's set in our present day world in Tokyo but there's been an alien "invasion." It balances that sci-fi element well with slice-of-life stories, as even though there are alien spaceships above the city, day-to-day life for our characters is not that different. However, the story of what's going on with the aliens and how it relates to our characters is a fun mystery. This one also focuses mainly on friendship and is very silly and funny most of the time. The characters are in their late teens (I think in the first volume they are seniors in high school and then the story follows them as they enter college), but it reads more adult than YA. There's time travel as well, but you have to wait a while for that! There are 12 total volumes, I think only the last one hasn't been translated into English yet, I've read 10 so far. I really enjoy it!

Yay!!! My recc made it to the top 5! Thank you so much for giving it a read and an honest review. ♡ I know and totally understand that TAMB's seemingly icky weirdness can turn people away (and it would have for me 100% if it was really the case), but as you read through the first volume and throughout the series, you'll see that it isn't about that at all. To those who have thought about giving it a shot, it's not really a spoiler - the meaning of "marriage" or "bride" is not exactly what you think it means in the manga. Happy reading, y'all ♡

I'll be honest and admit that I did not continue with The Ancient Mangas Bride, because I grew uncomfortable with it after several books. I hope you continue, and would love your opinion on the rest of the series. But, I will say that A Girl from the Other Side was exactly what I wanted from Ancient Mangas Bridge. Please check it out. My current cozy (to me) reads are: I Want to be a Wall and Life Lessons with Uramichi Oniisan. I will say that my cozy does not usually involve any deep sadness, but more slice of life, funny, moments of thoughtful reflection, etc. A cozy read will not be the same to everyone. Once you narrow down your cozy, I hope you keep finding favorites.❤ Adventure cozy recs: That time I got reincarnated as a slime and ranking of kings.

As everyone has a different tolerance and opinion on what is dark, here is a variety of dark manga recs. I have read (in no particular order): Will possibly scar a piece of your soul for all eternity...Psychological...Just twisted: "MW" by Osamu Tezuka - Warning for every trigger in existence Based off the novel: "No Longer Human" by Usamaru Furuya Psychological, Meta: "Opus" by Satoshi Kon (One shot. Never finished.) Psychological Suspense: "Monster" by Naoki Urasawa Death games: "Alice in Borderland" by Haro Aso (one of my all time favourite); "Tomodachi Game" by Miko Yamaguchi (doesn't really start to get dark until game 3, then all bets are off) Sci-fi with a sense of Mystery: "20th Century Boys" and "Pluto" by Urasawa; "Astra Lost in Space" by Kenta Shinohara; "Deadman Wonderland" by Jinsei Kataoka & Kazuma Kondou Samurai or Ninja: "Blade of the Immortal" by Hiroaki Samura; "Vagabond" by Takehiko Inoue (all time fav. On permanent hiatus); "Hell's Paradise" by Yuji Kaku (A favourite) Sci-fi with comedy: "Dorohedoro" by Q Hayashida (all time fav.) Horror: "Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service" by Eiji Ōtsuka; "The Promised Neverland" by Kaiu Shirai; "Tokyo Ghoul" by Sui Ishida (A classic fav.); "Parasyte" by Iwaati Hikoshi (Classic fav.) Sci-fi, Action: "Gantz" and "Inuyashiki" by Hiroya Oku (More favs.) Dark at times, Fantasy: "Noragami" by Adachitoka; "Pandora Hearts" by Jun Mochizuki (all time fav.); "Witch Hat Atelier" by Kamome Shirohara (Potential all time fav.) Dark manga on my TBR: Berserk (Dark Fantasy); Blood on the Tracks (Psychological); Homunculus (Psychological) There's more, but this is already too much. If you are bored and have time, you can find descriptions for all of these on MyAnimeList.net

I’m pretty new to the manga scene so I don’t have too many recommendations but I am caught up with Spy Family and I loved it! It was so cute but also interesting. A manga that I first started off watching the anime but ended up reading the end of the series was Bleach. That’s the first ever anime/manga I came across and I was HOOKED. I was never remotely interested in anything like that until Bleach. It holds a special place in my heart. It’s funny and action packed. Lots of character development and great storyline. If you haven’t read, highly recommend. A more slice of life/sad manga that I read and enjoyed (and cried with) was I Want To Eat Your Pancreas. So cute and sad.
