Damian recommends Witch Watch because there was a JoJo reference somewhere in the chapter 40+. I think this theory is well supported by his part 1-6 binge videos and the spicy wattpad stories(w/ Jujutsu Kaisen cameo). Your beans are spilled damian we know you very love to love ru, and I agree, best manga of all time.
fun fact: the mangaka of Witch Watch/SKET Dance was actually an assistant to the mangaka of Gintama, so if they give off a similar vibe, that’s probably why (also thanks for recommending Sakamoto Days, I have a blast reading it every week and more people need to know about it)
Also one reason why they had a crossover
Sket Dance in Gintoki's words: "The poor man's gintama" (actually might have been switch)
Mashle and Undead Unluck are also pretty solid Shonens that are out there right now.
Ayakashi Triangle is so fun. It already has an anime announced, and the reactions to that first episode will be glorious.
Sakamoto days is my favorite new school shonen
A personal recommendation is pppppp its really sweet and it’s about pianos.
Damian, non-ironically, is so entertaining to watch talk about anime/manga. Even now that I don't read mangas that much and haven't been watching anime lately, I find every video so much fun to watch. It's an escape from college subjects/projects/exams really, and I appreciate that the channel is there when I am exhausted from all that.
Sakamoto days is really good for the most part!! There is some really creative stuff going on, like having fights on rollercoasters. I almost skipped it, but I'm really happy I gave it a chance.
They’re not published in WSJ anymore, but Shaman King and World Trigger are both fantastic series.
8:44 , yea it's probably due the fact that Sket Dance's author was an assistant of Sorachi when Gintama first began and actually said he was a teacher who taught him necessary skills
Great Jump recommendations! All of these definitely need more love. And for anyone wondering about Sakamoto Days, it’s incredible. The action is off-the-wall crazy good nearly every week.
I was sleeping on Witch Watch but knowing it's from the author of Sket Dance, I'm now hype for it.
Sket Dance is definitely one of my favorite comedy anime.
Sakamoto days is awesome can’t wait for it to come out physically in April
I'm 67 and I watch shonen anime and read shonen jump manga.
I'd also recommend blue box, it's a really cute romance but idk how popular it actually is so idk if to call a hidden gem
The volumes are selling decently in Japan but I don't know how popular it is in the west
Shit is so good and the art is also pretty good
In the recent chapter, there is a Hideaki Sorachi cameo as a Gorilla mangaka trashing on school festival events which made me laughed so hard. Witch Watch and Sket Dance are so good
Sakamoto days is probably the best thing out rn after peak fiction build king. Also a super new manga called takopii no genzai is out and after only five chapters it has truly made a name for itself. The cliffhangers go crazy for a slice of life going into it blind is the best choice
i see sakamoto days.... i click!!!
I love Gintama and asker Dance. I’m definitely gonna give Witch Watch a watch! Thanks 🙏🏾
You had me at "made by the creator of sket dance"
The tone you were using this whole video really reminded me of the Mr Plinkett character from RLM
LETS GOO YOZAKURA SO UNDERRATED thanks damien :D
I love how everytime Damian asks "Do you like..." it sounds so depressing 😂
Thanks for the recommendations old man.
Just tryna help the youngsters out
PPPPPP or also known as P6 is solid as hell!!! (Yes that’s the series name its a piano term and it’s a piano series, trust the name makes so much sense for the series) like something Jump has never done before like it’s hella good
I haven't started Sakamoto Days but I did pick it up cus it looked interesting, I hadn't heard of it til I went to the bookstore but it seemed to be reviewed well. I have so many manga series to get into... lol which is never a bad thing.
Also fun fact, the creator of sket dance and Witch Watch was an editor on the gintama manga
I just started reading the new chapter after I watched this video and there was a reference to that 😂 look at the timing. So I guess you would’ve figured it out this week
Right now Blue Box is my favourite new Shonen jump manga, but some great recommendations here!
Yozakura family is so good. And actual good chemistry with the Mcs.
If you’re looking for a comedy manga/ anime that is pretty underrated, grand blue dreaming is really good, it’s 12eps and it’s hilarious
Aw man I loved sket dance, definitely gotta check out witch watch
Mission: Yozakura Family is GOATed, by far the best thing on this list imo.
I knew you looked 50 plus. Im glad it was confirmed.
You should check out Blue Box ☝🏽 one of the other ones I look forward to every Sunday
Blue Box for me is the best ongoing title. It is just wholesome and the art is really good.
But the craziest for me is Kaiju no 8. The character designs of Kaiju are really good and I am loving the action and characters so far.
No wait. Dandadan is the craziest for me. It is balls to the walls crazy and insane.
Showa Shoten is also pretty fun
I also really like Ayashimon and Doron Dororon but I feel like their is a chance for them to get axed.
I paused my dress up darling for this.
Bad decision tbh
Witch watch is really that funny always excited for a new chapter
Pls upload more ur one of my most recent fav youtubers
spread sakamoto days love
You should do a Scissor 7 commentary
That ongoing joke was so good.😂😂😂 It only got better with every time.
if you blur your vision at the cover of yozakura family you'll see shokugei no souma.
I loved the structure of this video,"do u like ..."
Have you read Elusive Samurai (from the author of assasination classrom) or Takopi's original sin? This last one is pretty dark and it just dropped out in mangaplus
Bottomline is: read Blue Box, Akane-banashi, and Undead Unluck
What’s your thought on the first episode of sakamoto days
It’s out
Thank you 🙏
Dame why you gotta give me that deep cut by mentioning HxH like that...
Damian on top
DAMIANN YOU SHOULD REACT TO BELLE,I KNOW YOU LOVE MUSIC AND THIS MOVIE PERFECT FOR YOU,GODLY ANIMATION,TOP TIER SONGS AND EVERYTHING YOU ENJOY
if u want to hear one of the songs first then react to
millennium parade U
i recommend Love,Chunibyo and other Delusion bc i remember it was a good anime
Yo dame you gotta check out ranking of kings its heat
It's Shounen Jump+. but I would highly recommend Dandadan. (It's on the same subscription service you would find the rest of jump's stuff, so it fits imo) Literally the best comedy manga i've seen
Hes already talked abut it Xd
@@juangonzalezjaramillo6600 Yes, he did, I just hope that some seeing this comment will decide to read it, cuz it's a masterpiece imo.
Hey Damion what do you think of Dr stone I know you read it a little bit but these final chapters have been very good. You should catch up if u haven't it's gonna end like next week.
I can agree with most of these especially witch watch and ayakashi triangle, but you didn't mention elusive samurai ( I know you just forgot and don't think it's dog poo). It is a near perfect blend of comedy and action. Matsui Yuusei is also the creator/mangaka of ass class so if you loved the random facial expressions and ridiculous antics of Koro-sensei you will probably like this manga, although instead of one character being ridiculous it's nearly every character. Every chapter is free on manga plus.
Ass class🤨
Sakamoto yo fire
Your description makes me wonder if Ayakashi triangle is a Trap
Nope, unless you count the futanari chapter.
Cool video
can't believe you skipped Undead Unluck like that, people need to stop sleeping on it, aside of the rough first ten chapter it has been pure fire every week since then
tbh why watch this video when you can read witch watch?
Witch Watch is real nice.
YO DAMIAN YOU NEED TO REACT TO ALL GINTAMA ENDINGS THEY ARE PEAK ENDINGS
2:29 So Hitman Reborn
A common opinion I've seen is that this is literally a _better_ Hitman Reborn. It's got a lot of the same vibe but IMO better action and a more fun cast (and also, holy shit the ART, it's stunning sometimes).
@@HaganeNoGijutsushi Hard disagree but yeah they definitely have some similarities.
Mashle doesn’t get talked about much
It's one of the best selling titles in jump lmao
not sure but I think Damian really likes witch watch
Yozakura Family is a 10/10
Yo wheres the koikatsu video 👀👀
please check Undead Unluck out
yo so i have trouble with focussing and attention span-having in general, do you think that the manga you reccomended in the video have good page-layout and know how to keep your attention without it feeling like your vision is slowly blurring the longer you stare at the page? as i feel as though many manga fail to keep my attention without my capability to pay attention getting in the way. sorry if this is worded weirdly, it's hard to describe the sensation that i commonly experience when attempting to read manga.
I guess you'd have to check them out for yourself. I think they're relatively easy reads with good page layouts but it could be different for you
@@thehomiedamian ok! thank you for the response c:
Everyone should read kajiu no.8
I’ve gotta wonder what his job is
Witch Watch enthusiasts we rise
ngl the only one that caught my attention was the ecchi one
There’s no way you’re 50
Me who hasn't paid attention to shonen jump in ages. Shonen magazine was always better heh
I don't know if it counts as a HIDDEN GEM but
READ DANDADAN!!!
bofurushido
sakamoto days better than KnY . period
Coco
W
Do you like comedy..?
Is spy X Family still a hidden gem? Counts it?
spy x family is literally one of the best selling manga out right now lmao
@@thehomiedamian Lol, didn't know that. I mean it's awsomexD Then Magilumiere Co Ltd is my pick for a hidden gem(I hope). I don't know if it's a gem yet but it's unique
Boruto isn’t in WSJ first off. Secondly very hidden when they have an anime announcement already or an official English release in physical form confirmed already… kind of weird
I legit can't tell if you're trolling 😐
@@daveedhua3760 I’m not ? Yozakura and Ayakashi have both over 1 million copies in circulation. Sakamoto over 500k. Maybe this video was targeted at people who only read two things and think Boruto is in WSJ idk
@@Kushikuritikaru Oh ok, so you didn't watch the video then. One of the first things that's said is that these are titles towards the bottom half of sales in SJ meaning that they are literally "hidden" compared to top sellers. Also you already guessed it in that this is targeted towards people who only read the top titles because...he literally says that in the video. I'm sure YOU know about these titles since your channel is about recapping shonen jump, but this video is clearly meant for people that don't and only know about big series.
Also, you're right about Boruto being in V jump now, but I think he's talking about JUMP publication's as a whole and just said WSJ as an example at the beginning.
@@daveedhua3760 a hidden gem would be High School family. A series with small sales but recommended by the Chainsaw Man mangaka. That’s a good example. These examples, to me, aren’t hidden. But if that’s his audience that’s fine
