  I also love Yotsubato! :) sometimes it blows my mind that’s it’s the same author as Azumanga Daioh
  My #1 favorite is Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, it’s several times longer and more complex than the movie.

  10/10: Nausicaa, Girls’ Last Tour
  Almost 10/10: Himegoto: Juukyuusai no Seifuku
  9/10: B-gata H-kei, Genjitsu Touhi shitetara Boroboro ni Natta Hanashi (the Nagata Kabi alcoholism memoir), Mata Onaji Yume wo Miteita
  Other favorites: Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid, Nichijou, Onimai, Melancholia & Nickelodeon, March comes in like a lion, Onanie Master Kurosawa, Gakkougurashi. Maybe parts 6 and 7 of Jojo’s

  Billy Bat by Naoki Urasawa - conspiracy + political history + cosmic horror

  JoJo: Steel Ball Run

  My top 3 are:

  • Domestic Girlfriend
  • Telework Yotobanashi
  • Mushoku Tensei

  I know a lot of people hate Domestic Girlfriend for the ending, but I thankfully got to bingeread the entire thing during Covid, so I just got to buckle in and enjoy the wild ride.

    I also binged Domestic Girlfriend early in the pandemic. I have a love/hate relationship with the series overall. On the one hand, the reason the ending is so incredibly polarizing is because the story and characters are so easy to be invested in. You really care about these three and the melodramatic messes they find themselves in. On the other hand, well, the ending. Domestic Girlfriend makes you feel something, that is for sure; and that is better than a lot of lesser series can say.

      I was definitely invested in the characters, I just didn’t get invested in whether Hina or Rui won in the end. I just needed to know what happened next. This is why I love the series, because I wasn’t one of the people slighted. Plus, I felt the ending hinging on a huge change out of left field was appropriate given some of the previous arcs. I get why some people are made, but I wasn’t in their situation.

  The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You

  For me, the more that a manga can make me go “WTF”, the better.

  WTFs per minute

  190+ chapters in, it still has moments that I did not expect.

  This criterion makes me biased towards slapstick comedy, but it’s my favourite genre anyway ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  Another bias that favours 100 girlfriends is that it is the longest running manga that I followed from the beginning.

  It’s still ongoing though, so there’s always a chance that it drops off.

  So if I have to nominate one of my 10/10s that’s complete, it’s A Complicated Sibling Relationship 4-Koma for being a roller-coaster of WTFs

  I think every single person on the planet should read Yotsuba&! It’s a world treasure.

  It’s not my personal favorite though - that would be The Voynich Hotel. I just love everything about it - great characters, funny as hell, great stories and even a great ending.

  Some honorable mentions:

  Akebi-chan no Sailor Fuku

  Kodama Maria Bungaku Shuusei

  Food Court de Mata Ashita

  Tokedase! Mizore-chan

  Curiosity Killed the Schoolgirl

  Three Days of Happiness which is actually the light novel title. The manga adaptation title is “I sold my life for ten thousand yen per year” but I like the LN title more. I recommend reading the author’s afterword in the LN if you finished the manga.

  I also like The Flowers of Evil.

  Kaguya-sama: Love is War. The manga itself is great but reading it live and discussing it on the old site elevated the experience even more. While I wasn’t the biggest fan of the ending, everything else was just so good it’s hard for me to give it anything but a 10.

  Yotsuba&! is great! I wish it got more recognition is a hilarious manga rather than just a stepping stone for Japanese learners.

  My favorite though is Kaguya-sama: Love is War. The characters are all insane in the most perfect ways.

    Yotsuba is like the foster’s home for imaginary friends of the rising sun imo, it’s that underrated

    My gf loves girl’s last tour! Haven’t read it myself though

    • recursive_recursion@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Welcome to the fediverse btw!~🤗

      Girl’s Last Tour is pretty great I’d highly recommend giving it a read and/or watch when you can :D

    Claymore is fantastic. Its also one of those series where the art improves massively over the course of its production, and its fascinating to see.

    It starts off looking a bit wonky and uncanny, but once it gets going, there are some panels that are straight up masterpieces in their own right.

  Fav manga.

  Long list but I’ll list the one I’ve reread the most.

  Psyren

  Standard shonen but more mature than most. It got beat out by Bleach so it never got animated. Still completed story though cut short.

  source
• PrincessKadath@ani.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  Too many to list, honestly.

  If I had to pick a (relatively) recent one one the top of my head, it would be Fuuka by Kōji Seo.

  • KonataIzumi@ani.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    I get you, it’s the same thing but with video games for me

  I don’t know that I can pick any one favorite, it’s more like they come and go at different times. My current favorite is probably what I wrote about this week in the general thread, The Moon on a Rainy Night, but that is surely heavily influenced by recency bias.

  A handful of other favorites of mine would be (tried hard to limit myself to 5):

  • Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End
  • Sweat and Soap
  • Assemble! Mysterious Research Club
  • The Eminence in Shadow
  • Love’s in Sight!

  I only read The Promised Neverland and Nisekoi: False Love, so they are my only favorites.
