    Death Note was my first manga. The story was amazing, the artwork was beautiful... I blew through all twelve volumes in a week, and Death Note’s pretty heavy on text, so I’m quite proud of that. The only problem is, I’m having a hard time finding another manga that grabs me enough to want to read an entire series. That said, I think my next idea would be to pick Bakuman back up. I don’t think I gave it enough of a chance and I’ve heard it gets really good, so we’ll see

    As a matter of fact I actually just started reading berserk. It's my first manga I've ever started to read and I just ended the first chapter of volume 1, "The Black Swordsman". From what I've read I love it. It's kinda weird when I was on my way home from purchasing the first volume I got into a bad car accident; totalling my car. The day after I still hadn't started reading because I was dealing with my insurance and got a call from my best friends mom telling me that he had been killed. Obviously I have kind of been is shock ever since but to get my mind off everything I started to read. I think because of the pain I was feeling I just felt like I connected with guts from the look in his eyes. I apologize for rambling but what I'm trying to say is I'm not even half way through the first volume of the series and I already love it more than anything.
    Edit: please forgive my grammar. I'm not the most literate man in the world.

    Berserk got me into manga 2 years ago. Read and bought all 40 volumes plus the deluxe editions as they come out. 300+ volumes later, I can happily report it did not ruin manga for me. BUT it DOES shit on all manga I have read up to this point. I suggest Vagabond for anyone looking for good art and a serious story. Vagabond is the only series that comes close to Berserk's art in my opinion. Then obviously just read One Piece. It is cliché but One Piece is just that damn good. It deserves all of the praise and popularity it gets. Currently on volume 85 and I don't want it to end. Great channel bro. Keep up the good work.

  • @noahfalter9197
    @noahfalter9197 4 роки тому +66

    So first things first i completely agree with your first recommendation, of one punch man, since it is a heavily western influenced manga it makes it easily understandable for new comers. This combined with its funny characters nice art and world building makes it a great read for new and old manga readers. However once we get further down the list i start to disagree with your recommendations. In terms of monster i have found that 1. The subject after is more in line with some of the veteran manga readers, its also at times hard to follow along with, this why i would say if your interested in te story try it out when your more versed in the hobbie. With experience comes a better understanding of how mangaka do things, also some volumes are hard to come by these days and in terms of the short supply/ out of print series it’s extremely daunting for newcomers to have to deal with tracking down a copy. Next up spy family, which by the way is one of my favorite ongoing manga right now. But that’s the problem, at the moment there are only 2 volumes, and new readers are prone to binge read manga and gain a collectors mentality. With the medium to slow production rate of volumes of spy family could turn newcomers away from the hobbie. Next up i agree with Uzumaki being a really good manga and Junji itos ability but the only real way to get it these days, is the hardcover which retail right now i believe is 35$ and to newcomers spending that much on one book isn’t worth it. Lastly and my biggest problem with this list Berserk, to put it simply this series just shouldn’t be one of the first it contains some major problems. 1 hardcovers/ the best way to buy them right now are expensive. 2nd the mangaka takes extremely long hiaduss and multiple times we fans have been worried the series wont even finish. 3rd the subject matter can turn many people away, rape gore, blood, and death, are just some of the tube friendly words i can say to describe the story. If you want my recommendation for a first manga and or beginner manga it would have to be death note, the black editions are cheap, it has a great story, its famailiar subject matter to people who have watched the anime, and they look amazing on a shelf.
    Thanks for hearing my *OPINION*
    Stay safe happy collecting

    I think most people would be happy starting their manga collection with their favorite shonen series. Over time you’ll find other series you enjoy. You have the option to pirate before you buy, so you can see if you like it. Barnes and Noble also let’s you read anything they have on hand in the store and their entire ebook catalog for 1 hour every day in stores. Try what you like, don’t feel pressured to read more obscure series and don’t be afraid to try a series you’ve never heard of. There’s a HUGE amount of manga, your not going to like every series you read and your not going to find every series you’ll like. Best part is you’ll never run out of new series to enjoy.

Don't recommend Goodnight Punpun openly but I really needed that manga in my life because when I read it back in 2016/2017 it helped me though a rough time by making me not feel so alone so I feel like people should read something else from Inio Asano first.

    Berserk was my first manga. I was an anime-only for the longest time, and I picked up manga when I realized there are benefits to both mediums. My personal philosophy is to read manga that either don't have an anime or got really butchered in their anime adaptation (which is why I picked up Berserk in the first place). Really the right recommendation all depends on the person's tastes. If you want something dark, I would recommend Dorohedoro or anything by Junji Ito. If you are looking for a more lighthearted adventure, I'm reading Eyeshield 21, Edens Zero, and My Hero Academia Vigilantes since I've already seen the main series.

    My first manga series is Nichijou. Nichijou is about high school girls and their everyday life. The english translation is “My Ordinary Life”, which is quite funny cause there is nothing ordinary about. Nichijou is translated into “everyday life”. Nichijou is a very funny series and everyone should read it.

    I have started reading manga a year ago too and I’ve stuck to series that are long and on going so I didn’t really read a variety but one that I do recommend is Dr. Stone. It gives off that suspenseful vibe,it has nice art and story, It made science seem really cool and it has quite probably one of the best protagonists in manga. (All I said about the manga is an opinion.)

    I'm older and had to drop out of manga during college and after. It's been a while but I'm getting back into anime/manga. I highly recommend fullmetal alchemist, the manga. If you watch the anime, Fullmetal alchemist Brotherhood. Ranma 1/2, saiyuki (they just reprinted the first series in oversized hardback), trigun, serial experiments lane (i don't remember if there is a manga for this one). I watched/read far to many over 10 years ago anyway have fun.

    Not a manga but I think “The Horizon” is a good early read too. It’s really short, really good, really emotional, and it will get you used to reading mature content through comic style medium. It’s Korean instead of Japanese but close enough.
