I'm in dire need of some new entertainment to read and I've been on a comic kick recently. I've read some manga and I'd like to get some more, rather than just stumble into things once in a while.

I think I enjoy action manga, though I get bored with the fights pretty quick. I'm interested in every genre I suppose, as long as it's interesting. I'll list what I've read and enjoyed here, moreso you'll have an idea of what I'd be into, not to tie me down to that genre. Really I'd love to broaden my horizon, but this is slop I'm looking for - easy reading.

  • Fullmetal Alchemist
  • Mieruko
  • Berserk
  • Detective Conan
  • One Piece (though since dressrosa I've not been as into it. Mainly reading out of habit these days)
  • Early Naruto (In general I feel like Shonen start off with an interesting premise and then it does a timeskip and it becomes all about power levels. I don't understand why they do that.)
  • Yu-Gi-Oh!
  • Shaman King
  • Junji Itos stuff
  • Dragon Ball (should have stopped after the cell games tbh)
  • Delicious in Dungeon
  • Death note
  • solo levelling.

And recently I read solo leveling which was some nice enough isekai slop. I wouldn't mind getting a good isekai recommended.
I dislike fanservice though, so that eliminates all isekai more or less.

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.
