I live in the US and I'm not really sure what would be good for a beginner but my sister is just starting to get into manga and she has really been enjoying silver spoon! And I think some of my first manga was actually 07 ghost and Ouran Highschool Host club. Hope that can help someone and Happy holidays everyone!
I highly recommend you and everyone else checking out the Pandora Hearts box set. Easily the most beautiful box set I’ve seen, and it was recently very expensive because it was out of stock but Yen Press recently restocked it so I recommend getting it while it’s there. Pandora Hearts is a series by Jun Mochizuki, who is currently writing the Case Study of Vanitas, another great series I recommend. Beautiful art and amazing story telling with a very satisfying aesthetic.
I'm from the UK. I always say AKIRA is a great jumping on point for anyone. Printed left to right so it's less of a shock for comic readers. Plus, it's oversized so looks impressive.
Definitely would recommending Solo leveling. Just started printing the physical copies so you won't be too far behind and it has amazing action fighting scenes
The good thing of having a loving family is that even though she doesn’t understand it she still is trying her hardest to get me what I want. Same with my dad I love my parents
Such a great video! I have to recommend Hypland for anime clothing, super high quality and not too expensive! If you’re into HxH, Naruto, Inuyasha, Bleach they have official licenses for collabs
Great vid! For anyone wanting to buy a quirky manga there is a new Lupin III hardcover that has some of the classic heists. It is not for everyone but if you’re a fan of Lupin then it’s a must have
This was such a great guide! And Joanne's recommendations were so useful! I'd definitely recommend the boxset of A Silent Voice for a substantial manga gift, but have also found Witch Hat Atelier to be a good one to introduce non-manga readers to manga - especially if they're Studio Ghibli fans. The Nausicca of the Valley of the Wind boxset is also a really great gift recommendation!
Hi Boogie! Been watching your videos for a while but first time commenting I think? I'm not so much the type of person to comment lol. Thank you for another great video, and I hope you have a great christmas this year!! For the manga I'd recommend a beginner... someone else already said Akira and I would agree with them, as I started the same way lol. I had a few volumes of other series already but just cause I happened to buy them sporadically for no real reason other than I liked their anime adaptation. But Akira was the first one I started and finished cause I loved the movie so much and the manga is ten times better! To Your Eternity would be another one I'd recommend I think, since it's so easy to get hooked and the art is beautiful! I'm from Mexico and our catalog is pretty much the same as the US, just missing a bunch of titles here and there (mostly the ones that are not as popular) but nothing that would get us too upset about... only vinland saga 😭 the license was taken over a company from spain who's importing it into Mexico and it's dumb expensive. ONE volume is almost as expensive as a 2 in 1 US edition, which is so frustrating, since manga here is always cheaper than the US version, and for once, it's much cheaper to go for the US version lol. We're sadly probably gonna get the same situation with Kaijuu no. 8 so a lot of us are gonna buy the US edition instead, so there's that lol. Also, we kind of suffered a few years waiting for Haikyuu since the license was acquired by a company that not too long after went bankrupt LOL and they couldn't even start publishing it, but a few months back we got the news it'll be finally published by a different company in a 3 in 1 so yay! Sorry for the long rant, it's just funny how we're neighbor countries and our situation with manga is rather different in a lot of aspects, but I'm always grateful we're so close since I can always turn to Viz Media and whatnot when things go south here lol.
I'm from Montreal. If you buy in french you should know O-taku manga lounge, a specialize manga store and cafe, they have an online store too. During the holidays they make special box set of mangas, to help make gifts. They also sell manga in english, but they don't make the special box set though, but the employee there can always make recommendation.
Another awesome video with a lot of good recommendations. I feel like I should get into some cozier stuff and hearing both you and Joanne talk about Laid-Back Camp made me add it to my cart! Weirdly enough, I haven't been buying much manga this holiday season (although my pre-orders have been coming in). Bought way more than I expected to in October/November so I'm quite backlogged... But if a good boxing day sale happens to pop up I might indulge 😁 Also if I had to buy manga for someone who is totally new to manga I would probably try to buy them either single volume editions or a series of 4 volumes or less to wet their feet. Titles such as: Tekkon kinkreet Uzumaki/Gyo Planetes Livingstone Haru's Curse Paradise Kiss Our Dreams at Dusk Rohan at the Louvre (even non-Jojo fans can enjoy this) Ping Pong
My girlfriend is starting her manga adventure and asked me for some good ideas about some titles to read. So I said she would love reading Jojo's Bizzarre Adventure part 1 in it's hardcover release! So far she is enjoying the story and we have a conversation about it when we're together.
also im happy to know a manga creator i watch really loves ajin because i reallyyy love it although ive only watched the anime i will be buying ajin soon tho ❤️❤️
just recently been finishing my collection of battle royale spanish editions which are amazing and blade of the immortal is one of my favorite series which i always reread🔥😮💨
Hi 🙂 I’m from Denmark and buy most of my manga from the German amazon or saxo. I just got my Ajin vol 17 today 😃 I would recommend most of what you mentioned and maybe spy x family, jujutsu Kaisen, Haikyu!! and a silent voice box set.
I would love to add To Your Eternity to this list. With most of it in stock on popular manga shopping websites like RightStufAnime I think it would make a fantastic gift to someone who hasn't yet experienced the story. By the same mangaka of A Silent Voice, To Your Eternity follows a young boy and his adventure meeting new people along the way and surviving harsh external conflicts and emotionally charged situations. To Your Eternity is classified as a Shonen but don't be fooled it has large drama undertones and supernatural elements that makes its story unlike anything I've read before. Without giving away potential spoilers, The plot is very heavy and impactful and covers dark themes they may not be pleasant for a very young audience so I would recommend 16+ for the reader. This is definitely a stop and think manga with a tremendous amount of character development that will 100% hook the reader. I hope this helps!
I’m from the US. California. I would easily recommend Fist of the North Star! Easy to read and has badass main character. The fights are awesome and are very satisfying. :)
Hey boogie hope your having a great day! The manga I would recommend for a beginner would be shortcake cake it’s a laid back school romance and the art work is awesome. I’m located in the United States and a Manga that I can easily find is Toilet bound Hanako-kun
Here's my recs Funny: Yotsuba, Mob psycho 100, Spy x Family Action: Vagabond, One punch man Thriller: Monster Contemporary: A silent voice, after the rain I tried to go for shorter series and more family friendly but I needed to put Vagabond and Monster in there because they're so good 😭 so if you're a younger age maybe steer clear from those for now lol
@@jessicanicoleferr Yes!!! Literally the story could be garbage (thankfully it's not) and it would still be one of my favorites because of the art alone.
@@blandface9957 HELL YEAH i'm so glad people talk about it more, (not saying that it's underrated cause it's not) but it's actually so good. i'm only on the second omnibus but it's so good so far and i plan on picking up the rest pretty soon!!
Hello Buggy! I'm from Perú and right now the market is getting bigger but at this moment we have only three tittles and recommend Say hello yo Black Jack 😎
Im from the philippines and the manga that i would recommend for a beginner are death note, tokyo ghoul and one punch man. Death note because it would be pretty interesting for them, it would make them curios every chapter and resulting to them getting hooked into it. Tokyo ghoul since the plot is unlike any other mangas ive read and the art is top notch. One punch man because it would be enjoyable for a beginner with all that impressive art style, lots of action, and has a lot of comedy and one punch man was one of my first anime too so the manga would be pretty good for a beginner.
Once a friends came to my house and, while seeing my (little) collection, I recommended them The Gods Lie. They read it and loved it! It was their first time reading a manga, and well, they never stopped from there xD The thing is, a think a good choice for recommend something is always a one tome only manga. There are so many good mangas out there! I mean for someone who likes these topics (anime, manga, etc) but is not that into it to buy things. That said, I haven't really read that many mangas and my collection is pretty small, mainly because of the price, so it is hard for me to recommend something. I'm from Chile, and if collecting manga is expensive, collecting them in Latin America is way worst lol. I actually buy mostly imported manga because it is cheaper to buy thing in English than Spanish, and using the benefit of Bookdepository's free shipping is a good way to save some money. Man, wish RightStuf had free shipping too :c
I live in the US and manga series that I’ve found easier to find would be Demon Slayer, JJK, MHA, Silent Voice, Berserk, Vinland, and JoJo. As for easiest series to get into for manga beginners I think manga beginners will already have some experience with anime, and might even want to read the manga of their favorite show to catch up/get through it with less filler. So, One Piece, Dragon Ball, Chainsaw Man, and One Punch Man would be some good first manga.
im from Bulgaria and there aren't many places to buy manga here but i personally use the same 2 sites every time :) there's a variety of series although they are all in english
I’m from Putrajaya, Malaysia. For new manga readers, i highly recommend you guys to read Chainsaw Man. Overall this manga is a great mix of humor, action and storytelling, I would give it an all-around grade of an A-😆. Plus, it’s also easily to find and in stock at my country Kinokuniya.
If you're not sure what a person's taste in manga might be, you can't go wrong with the 4-koma comedy/gag comedy mangas! Literally nobody hates Yotsuba!& - if they do... you should probably rethink that friendship, cus chances are they're a psychopath /j and dont' forget, even in 2021, gift receipts are still a thing, so if it's one they REALLY don't want, or they already have, they can always exchange it for something else.
@@johnkillink In that case I can recommend: Junjo Itos work if you’re into horror as all of his work are published as omnibuses. All you need is kill is a very good manga and the art is by the great Takeshi Obata (Deathnote, Bakuman etc) If your into sports Manga, Ping Pong is a great 2 omnibus buy. Dororo ( The big manga that you can see to the middle right of Boogies collection) by the godfather of manga Osamu Tezuka (I would research him) and if you really want to go crazy I would buy the mammoth brick that is the Deathnote all in one edition. I hope this has helped :)
I don't think people should start with really old series like Akira, Mobile suit gundam. Or really long series like One Piece or Jojo's. Since they haven't got the love towards them yet, unique art style and long length will be a turn off. *Unless* they're used to reading comics already. Otherwise it should be easy on the wallet and the art easy on the eyes. Like SPY X FAMILY, Death Note, Astra lost in space.
i live in the us and I TOTALLY RECOMMEND SPY FAMILY most people love to laugh and its very endearing its also on the more cheaper side and it has a huge audience so i think many people would love it and im not too sure what manga is easy to get here
This was such a comprehensive guide! Definitely eyeing a few more series from your recs 👀. Thank you so much for including me!! 😄🙏
of course it was a pleasure working with you and i though it was hilarious that we both chose Laid Back Camp as a recommendation 👊🏼
Boogie: I know I’m not the only one buying manga for myself.
Me: *shrug* I mean I just did.
Boogie: mhmm
Ayyyy early gang where you at! Always nice to see a new video from you Boogie!
I live in the US and I'm not really sure what would be good for a beginner but my sister is just starting to get into manga and she has really been enjoying silver spoon! And I think some of my first manga was actually 07 ghost and Ouran Highschool Host club.
Hope that can help someone and
Happy holidays everyone!
I highly recommend you and everyone else checking out the Pandora Hearts box set. Easily the most beautiful box set I’ve seen, and it was recently very expensive because it was out of stock but Yen Press recently restocked it so I recommend getting it while it’s there. Pandora Hearts is a series by Jun Mochizuki, who is currently writing the Case Study of Vanitas, another great series I recommend.

One of my fav box set
not available in europe :(
AMEN TO THIS! Pandora Hearts Box Set was the first manga set I bought when I decided to start a collection!
I got ajin 17 on Dec 7th. It was great, definitley recommend the series. The ending although wrapping up fairly quick was still a good ending
Boogiesnacks be looking like a snack in this video tbh 😌
Considering how expensive Wotakoi is I’d love to get a couple volumes for Christmas from a loved one! 😭😂 I love that series so much!!
Managed to snatch up the Bleach Box Set for £89 on offer randomly popped up on Wordery, so thrilled, it even arrived before christmas
Let’s go a half our boogie snacks video for the holidays on a Friday night. Life is GOOD
I'm from the UK.
I always say AKIRA is a great jumping on point for anyone. Printed left to right so it's less of a shock for comic readers. Plus, it's oversized so looks impressive.
The box set volumes arent left to right
Definitely would recommending Solo leveling. Just started printing the physical copies so you won't be too far behind and it has amazing action fighting scenes
The good thing of having a loving family is that even though she doesn’t understand it she still is trying her hardest to get me what I want. Same with my dad I love my parents
Shōnen: Full Metal Alchemist
Shōjo: The Quintessential Quintuplets.
I am from Saskatchewan, Canada.
Thanks for such a great guide! 🙂
I'm 17 and I love the Vinland Saga series 😍😍
Such a great video!
I have to recommend Hypland for anime clothing, super high quality and not too expensive! If you’re into HxH, Naruto, Inuyasha, Bleach they have official licenses for collabs
Great vid! For anyone wanting to buy a quirky manga there is a new Lupin III hardcover that has some of the classic heists. It is not for everyone but if you’re a fan of Lupin then it’s a must have

I recommend the Kingdom Hearts Manga. It has all your favorite Disney characters and a recognizable face does wonders. I’m in FL

I am from bangladesh (maybe only a few people know about this country) for beginners I can suggest spy x family , horimiya & maybe any popular shonen.
zom 100 is interesting and the main character challenges himself to fulfill his bucket list
I am from Venezuela but right now I am living in Colombia and it’s very hard to find any manga 😭I love watching videos where there so much of it :)
I recommend gantz. The best series to exist imo.

great video bro! but what about single volumes??
What do you mean by single volumes mate?
Do you mean like all in one mangas?
@@olilynch7682 Yeah! all in one, single volumes, you name it. Stories that are fully contained on a single volume or in 2 volumes max.

Demon Slayer box set easily. . . UK
1.Demon slayer
