Besides the facts of how good his reviews and recommendations are, The intro is what gets me every time 10/10
Lol same. It’s really wholesome to be honest
Yes
No longer human is such a challenging yet satisfying read.
wym challenging ?
@@ogprxd it’s challenging because it makes you face topics that are very uncomfortable. Such as depression, suicide, addiction, and incest and child abuse. And it talks about it in a grounded way. From what I understand, the original author faced many of these challenges personally.
@@MICOXD That sounds interesting actually
@@ogprxd the book the manga is adapting is based on is also titled “no long human” and it is considered a Japanese classic.
What makes the No Longer Human more terrifying. is that the author (Osamu Dazai) who was going through hard times in his life, drowned his wife and himself right after a day of the publishing of his book. Some say No Longer Human was Dazai’s suicide note.
I am newly dipping my toe into manga, so these single volumes are a great way to test the waters so i can figure out what I like. Based on these recommendations I am going to pick up Sandland, All You Need is Kill, Zelda, Walking Man, and the Junji Ito books which were already on my list.
Great video idea and excellent execution!
Thanks for the suggestions! I've been getting into manga more over the past year and have generally been avoiding the really long series because of the cost and difficulty getting them from my library. I've loved Goodnight Punpun, Sunny, and have a lot of Junji Ito's work. Definitely gonna check out some of these!
This is so helpful. Thank you!
It's crazy to read phantom blood then read Rohan at the louvre he's evolved so much as artist and writer
I read solanin last year and it did really resonate with me as a 20 something who doesn't know what he is doing in life. Just found your channel, loving the content and seeing a fellow collector recommend stuff
this is awesome i was just thinking about searching a video for something like this
Such a great video with awesome recommendations. Some I have read and some I'm interested in. You have one of the best manga/comics related channels and I have been watching since 2015 or so. Great knowledge and relaxing voice, definitely deserves more views on the videos :)
wow! your videos are nice, informative, and you pitch the work without spoiling the whole thing! very nice!
Thank you for your recommandations, Rohan at the Louvre really caught my eye !
I've been eyeing Cats of the Louvre for a while - glad to hear someone talking about it! I'll have to check out that deeper review you did of the one-shot. The Walking Man also sounds good - that's probably the one I took away the most here! Thanks for the recommendations.
Yu put out such good content, thank yu king. Yu deserve a million subs
Definitely getting solanin after watching the video! Thanks a lot!
Amazing video as always. Keep this excellent work.
I appreciate this. I’ve asked bookstores about what single volumes they have and they usually don’t know.
I was just looking at articles about this very subject. Keep up the great work.
Same
Thank you for this video I finally pulled the trigger I'm excited to start reading some manga
Always looking for short manga to read 🙌🏻
Appreciate the vid! I'm gonna give sandland and the walking man a go 😁 and finally cave in and get Solanin lol. Mujirushi by Naoki Urasawa's worth the read, id say ✌🏻👍🏻
I'm just starting to really get into manga & I think your channel is great.
Loved this video! Sometimes the idea of diving into a mega-long series just stops me in my tracks.
Thanks for the suggestions, I am going to get Rohan at the Louvre !
I have to look for that Link to the past book, looks amazing!!!
Well I added you to my subscription list truly exceptional synopsis and based on the magnitude of your manga library I will come back again and again for advice and direction! :-)
This is great! More videos like this please. I just bought "All you need is kill" thanks for the recommendations
saving this video for later thansk for the recommendations!
enjoyed this video. great picks :) subscribed!
Nice! I already have some of those books,whether it be ebook or hardcover. Also passed this video on to a few people 😊
This might be the best manga-related video I've watched, something other than a show-off of collections although that is valid to this feels more impactful.
Hi. I’ve been subscribed for almost a week now. Just got into collecting manga. Just want to say thanks and I appreciate your videos ✌️
Viz really needs to translate and release Dead Man’s Questions, Thus Spoke and pretty much all of the other Araki spin off mangas, HELL EVEN THE LIGHT NOVELS, like Jorge Joestar, Purple Haze Feedback, the Heaven one (forgot the name)
Great list i would also recommend memories of emanon ,goodbye eri and look back
I just started my manga collection and I bought JJBA part 1 and 2 as well as Rohan at the Louvre and its a great book the cover is great and the art is beautiful
ordered rohan at louvre
thanks for the rec
Love the video, keep up the good work! Really wanted to know what type of shirt are you wearing? Love the art style.
Have read about half of them. Great recommendations. Love rohan
This video makes me want to read every book that you've mentioned. Thanks.
great video only one missing imo is Opus
I was already considering getting uzamaki and this video made me get it
Lol I was just scouring around the web 2 days ago for this so thanks!
Man you mentioned a lot of titles that I am completely unaware of! I'm still an amateur in this. Thank you for the recommendations!
My #1 goal is to help introduce people to new stories, so I’m very happy I could help
i decided to purchase all you need is kill about a week ago before knowing anything about it. i saw the art and thought it was beautiful. im so glad i took the gamble and purchased it. will be reading it asap
GOSH DANG did this make me wanna read. Good job.
I go along with the intro theme all the time lol!
The Swamp by Yoshiharu Tsuge is a great series of short memorable stories that linger with you
awesome video
New library has so much space! Can't wait for it to be filled with more shelves and books. 😂
I just ordered sandland and I’m so excited rnnnn
No Longer Human is barely even a horror manga and yet one of the best works of Junji Ito. His way of adapting the novel is beautiful
Awesome vid Riley :) How well did you think the Junji Ito version of No Longer Human was compared to the Usamaru Furuya (not sure if you have it cos it's so OOP xD)?
Also would you recommend any other of Jiro Taniguchi's works? Looks like he has a few single volume series
I already have No Longer Human on my TO BUY list, so I'm glad its getting a good recommendation. I love me some Junji Ito. I think I will have to add Sandland and Gigantomaxia to that list now. One of my favorite single volume works is Domu: A Child's Dream from Katsuhiro Otomo.
looking forward to the death note all in 1 edition, thanks for the recommendation
Inio Asano also has other one volume series that are great, like girl on the shore,downfall, nijigahara holograph. I'm currently reading a one volume series called utsubora which so far is pretty good!
Just gonna like this and save for later since I can't watch it atm.
Same lol
Solanin is one of my favorite manga I have ever read!
A single volume I really love is My Broken Mariko. It is very emotional and very well written! I highly recommend it
I think I might try all you need is kill and solanin thank you very much friendly manga librarian
I am going to check out The Walking Man and maybe also the Zelda manga. Thank you for the recommendations, good sir.
Great recommendations 🤍
Nice list! How about some true shoujo royalty and Moto Hagio's The Heart of Thomas? Granted, like most of the Fantagraphics' Moto Shagio releases it only had one print run and now seems to sell for hundreds of bucks--but it is a brilliant manga, by perhaps the most important shoujo manga-ka (who deserves to be better known here) and a must for anyone with any interest in classic or shoujo manga.
The Box Man by Imiri Sakabashira has to be one of the wackiest short stories manga I've read. Its a nice little hardcover released by D&Q
Im excited to watch this video. I been collecting manga for a month lol im like a baby :)
I've been interested in picking up All You Need Is Kill and Planetes (although that's in two volumes), as well as Rohan At The Louvre
I'm excited for Akira Toriyama's Manga Theater (Short Stories) by Viz, but I'm also worried about censorship. They LOVE censoring his art.
I'm still waiting for a completely uncensored version of Dragon Ball.
Great channel and very pleasing listening to you
Do you know of Ryuko? It's a 2 volume story about a Yakuza girl,haven't read it but heard it's a good manga
Yeah I wasn’t a fan and sold it a while ago
Interesting plots, I think I'll read some of em
My mom loves Cats of the Louvre! I just read it and it's such a lovely book
I need more videos like this one
I love your intro.
Super informative, can you provide more single-volume manga recommendations? Or do a recurring video so we can make this into a series!
love your videos so much! my one volume recommendation would be i want to eat your pancreas, which can be either a light novel or manga adaptation, but a great sad story.
Oh boy, I got some suggestions for ya. I noticed some of your suggestions required previous knowledge of an existing series so the ones I will suggest are completely stand alone single volume series:
Smuggler by Shohei Manabe, it's the story of a group of men in charge of moving a dangerous criminal from one place to the next. Dont wanna spoil what happens, just look at the art and I guarantee you'll buy it.
Color of Rage by Kazuo Koike, it's about 2 slaves (one African) that escape their slave ship as it was passing close to japan and their story as they try to avoid their captors in a new land they know nothing about.
Lychee Light Club by Usamaru Furupa , this manga is literally the symbol for the manga collectors subreddit. Its reeeeeeeally weird, gory and sexual. The story can be a bit out there for some but give it a shot if you want something extremely unconventional.
Scumbag Loser by Mikoto Yanaguti, keeping with the unconventional theme, this is a horror manga about a guy who is an absolute scumbag, the story follows him in his neverending quest to be the biggest piece of shit in the whole school. But why then does this gorgeous girl keep following him around? Maybe there is more to him than what's on the surface. Or maybe the girl is not the angel she appears to be.
Velveteen and Mandala by Jiro Matsumoto, Omar has this manga in his collection. And I'm pretty sure if he ever reviewed it, UA-cam would take down his channel. Check it out and find out why. The story makes no sense at first but comes together at the end. It's one of those series like FLCL that you need to pay more attention to the meaning behind the images than to the images themselves.
Opus by Satoshi Kon, sadly we will never get a proper ending to this manga since we lost SK but I feel like the story is better as it stands without its ending. It's about a mangaka that realizes the characters in his stories suddenly developed free will. And now he gets dragged down into the stories he wrote.
I will pick up Sandland. I love Toryama's work but never heard of this one
Heard about No Longer Human a few days ago, this convinced me to pick it up
hey, did you read it? what did you think?
Check out Abara ... has a one shot , it’s a manga from the creator of BLAME! and has the same approach of having very few words but amazing art . It was a big inspiration for Chainsaw Man as well .
After watching this video, I'm definitely going to order No Longer Human and All You Need is Kill!!
All You Need Is Kill. I really enjoyed Edge of Tomorrow so now knowing this originated from a Manga makes this story a must-read.
What a Great video
I was turned off by Asano’s work after finding out how dark goodnight pun pun was, so I never gave solanin a shot. But after hearing that the characters are in the exact same situation as me, I’ve ordered it right after watching your video!
If you're like me, and have read damn near everything, then you've already read Takahashi Tsutomu's Alive. It's a 10 chapter, one volume series that you absolutely should read. I recommend it to all your viewers as well
Here to plug Not Simple by Natsume Ono! Great self-contained character drama about a broken family and a wandering son
Any more recommendations over the last 6 months?
I Would love another of these.. like a yearly series
All You Need is Kill and Rohan at The Louvre are great manga, their artwork is amazing and their respective stories are pretty good.
As a JoJo's Bizarre Adventure fan, Rohan is one of my favourite characters in the JoJo verse so reading the Rohan manga made me appreciate the manga more.
I love Obata's artwork in All You Need is Kill.
As a Zelda fan, I read A Link to the Past manga a couple of years ago. I love the colours and the size of the pages for the manga however, I felt the story fell flat in my opinion but then again, my expectations of Zelda's stories are low.
I still have yet to read Solanin and Uzumaki so I will get around to reading those soon.
You've persuaded me with the Walking Man and No Longer Human which I put on my 'to-read' list.
Great content. Would you add any new ones to this list?
hey riley, where did you get that shirt of amigara fault ? it´s so cool
Bro!!! finally, you came out with this video!! yeah!! I'm picking the Sand Land for sure! I've read most of the mangas you recommend here so THANKS!! and let me recommend some single issues to you now! Check LEVIUS is a great fight manga, also check ABARA is a masterpiece by Tsutomu Nihei (the guy that made BLAME! and finally check out Nijigahara Holograph by Inio Asano, this manga is awesome. My favorite Inio Asano manga ever. the story is more complicated and has many layers so its great to read it twice.
Cheers bro and once again thanks for the video!!!
If you like Taniguchi's Walking Man, you should check out his Furari if you haven't already. It's even more serene and relaxing
I bought Rohan at the lourvre yesterday at a book shop and I love it
Your shirt is so cool! Where did you find this?
Love SandLand! “All you need is kill” is solid. Better than the movie, for me. I have different single books of Taniguchi, like Guardians of the Louvre, A Distant Neighborhood and A Zoo in Winter. Solonin is deep, my favorite single issue manga. I am a Junji Ito fan. Still have to read Frankenstein and Tomie yet. Have to buy his version of No longer Human. Can compare it to Usamaru’s manga afterwards. Thank you Ryley!
YESSS imo, all you need is kill is AMAZING!!!
All you need is kill, was so so good, I enjoyed the Hollywood movie adaption but this manga was amazing was hooked from start to finish, artwork is awesome as well. Love your collection had to sub and definitely going to go watch more of your vids watched your collection one and wow its a huge awesome collection :)
Keep up the awesome vids :)
I’m glad Sandland was on the list. My additions that both happen to be in the romance genre would be ‘The Wize Wize Beasts of the Wizarding Wizdoms’ and ‘The God and the Flightless Messenger’
Unrelated but would you ever consider in the future doing a video about comic reccomendations for manga readers?
I love the shirt. That's the guy from Junji Ito's story.
i really love u put junji ito no longer human its a great introduction to the themes n story from the book with the same name by osamu dazai
I've been back and forth about whether or not I want to pick up Ito's No Longer Human. This video convinced me to go for iit!! I know my personal favorite single volume Ito work is Gyo!
I just bought Remina but haven’t read it yet. Is it as good as Ito’s other works?
@@kingambrosius9125 For me, Remina is B-tier for Ito. It's definitely horrifying and I don't regret getting it, but the story is silly to the point of breaking immersion in places and I didn't enjoy it as much as Tomie or Uzumaki.
@@kingambrosius9125 agree,remina was horrifying at the start but it started become ridiculous and fast paced towards the end. It's not as scary as ito's other works but i think it would still be enjoyable if ure not looking for something really deep.
Hey, I’m new to comics and I was wondering what would be some recommendations for new readers? I also love your videos!
Yo! so i have some manga that I can recommend but i was wondering what do you like? Action? romance? horror?
@@demon_pee8248 Hello! I really do like action manga
@@yakka4222 ok! I really recommend blue exorcist it’s definitely one of my favorites and it also has an anime if you want to check that out as well. And seraph of the end is really good, it also has an anime too!
@@yakka4222 You should definitely read 1) Mob Psycho 100, 2) one punch man, and or 3) My Hero Academia (MHA)
@@brexnnqc Thanks for the recommendations! I’ll have a look at them 😀
I can't believe I've never heard of that zelda manga i need that quick
I've read Cats of the Louvre, and it's really good.
