MODERATORS
Vinland Saga - Best manga ever! Manga authors often struggle with writing compelling, meaningful stories and characters but this one absolutely nails it.
Death note - It may initially seem like a power fantasy for teenagers but it really surprised me with how mature the writing is, although it might not be the easiest reading.
Frieren - Pretty much the queen of casual fantasy stories.
Demon Slayer - Just the right mix of cuteness and seriousness to deliver a vibrant story about saving your loved ones.
Jujutsu Kaisen - If you get bored by fights easily, then maybe this one could interest you. Story telling is pretty negelected but the fights are really technical and consistent. No bullshittery or sudden power-ups out of nowhere (with some exceptions).
Chainsaw Man - There’s something wrong with the authors brain in all the good ways. He pretty much just throws shit at a wall and it somehow turns into a masterpiece.
Vagabond - A fictionalized story about Miyamoto Musashi’s life. Some of the best character development I’ve ever seen.
cause he is the GOAT
Very quickly establishes that almost dying brings out upgrades, and it rocks
Okay you finally convinced me to check out chainsaw man, really appreciate it!
I read the first few chapters of Jujutsu kaisen a long while ago. Does it pick up with time or is it the kind where you know wether or not it's for you more or less immediately?
If you like Chainsaw Man and you’re looking for more, you could also take a look at Fire Punch which is from the same author. Although that’s definitely not some easy reading as it deals with some really heavy topics and is even more unhinged than CM.
As for JJK: It does pick up in the beginning when the protagonist gets introduced into the whole Jujutsu world and the reader gets more and more familiar with the fighting system. But after that it’s very formulatic and combat-heavy until the end.
