Transcripts

so people are always asking me for

recommendations when it comes to things

because they know how truly great my

taste is and how knowledgeable i am

whether it be anime manga video games

you name it they look to me to guide

them and honestly i don't blame them

it's only right that they will look to

someone great for guidance but for a

long time now

i've ignored their wants and wishes

feeling like they are not worthy of such

a video for me

so you might be asking yourself well

what changed you and what made you

decide to make this video

three reasons one my real supporters

they have been supporting so good lately

that i decided to reward them

two there are not many good manga

recommendation videos on youtube

i've seen so many other people make

manga recommendation videos and most of

them are complete trash they suck

these people have terrible taste and all

recommend the same manga over and over

again

so it's up to me to bring an actual good

list proving once again how truly great

i am

and lastly i've been reading a lot and i

mean a lot of manga lately and i just so

happen to feel like talking about some

of those manga that i've been reading

so yeah you people should feel blessed

honored that i'm making this video

because honestly i didn't have to so i'm

only going to be talking about each

series briefly that way i'm not here all

day

so if you want to know more about a

certain series you can always look it up

for yourself you can google it ask alexa

the choice is yours so without wasting

any more time let's get started

alright so kicking this list off is die

where gelder i'm probably not even close

to pronouncing it the right way but

honestly who cares

if i had to compare this manga to

anything it's pretty similar to black

lagoon where you have the city with a

bunch of organized crime

violence drugs and badass female

characters the art is incredible the

fights are brutal and the story has been

pretty interesting so far i'm very

curious to see where this one goes

because so far i've been loving it

next up is coverless and this manga

solar flare causes the planet to lose

all of his color leaving humans deformed

and close to extinction

now the story starts off with the main

character going against this cult who

worships color and wants to use the

power that's hidden in color for their

own personal gain

now while researching the cult he ends

up rescuing this girl from them that

they kidnapped

and the story pretty much goes from

there it's kind of confusing and hard to

explain but

just read it trust me this mug is really

unique it's interesting

how manga is usually drawn in black and

white and in this manga they add hits of

color

in certain panels to signify their being

color in the story it's really unique

and there's some core action the main

character is a complete badass who gets

stuff done

this is a manga that definitely needs

more attention it's hard to find a lot

of information about it

i found it honestly by pure luck but

hopefully it gets more popular

up next is heavenly delusion i just

started reading this one and i'm really

enjoying it so far this is a

post-apocalyptic manga with a great

sense of mystery it follows two teams as

they navigate this fallen city

there's these weird man-eated monsters

that they have to watch out for as well

as other humans

the story has been pretty interesting so

far the characters are silent the art is

good

and it's been a very enjoyable

experience next up is gigant the creator

of guns is back with another one and

it's just as weird and over the top so

to keep things simple here

boy meets girl who happens to be a porn

star they start dating she turns into a

giant and starts fighting aliens

yeah it makes absolutely no sense but

that's the beauty of it

it's so enjoyable that who cares i'm

just here for the ride baby

there's great art and some genuinely

hilarious moments mixed in as long as

the manga is able to keep me entertained

and that's all that matters and this one

has definitely been able to do

just that very rarely can something keep

me on the edge of my seat while reading

but blood on the tracks manages to do it

with ease this manga tells the story of

a mother and her relationship with her

son and what starts off as her maybe

being a little bit too overprotective

towards him

turns into downright craziness as you

quickly realize

there's definitely something wrong with

this [ __ ] this is psychological horror

at its finest and i love it

easily one of the most disturbing manga

i've read in a long time and the crazy

part is i read this manga years ago

but i forgot the name and i couldn't

remember where i was at in the story

and then years later i just happened to

come across it again i was like oh i

remember that

and i started reading it again and man

i'm glad that i did because

this is a hell of a ride man i genuinely

feel bad for the sun in this story all

that he goes through all he has to deal

with

i couldn't imagine having a mother as

crazy as this next up is to the

abandoned sacred beast so

basically there was a war between the

north and the south and to get an

advantage the north started

experimenting on people and turning them

into these beasts capable of winning the

war

now fast forward the story follows a

girl who wants revenge because her

father who was one of these beasts was

killed

she finds the man who did it and he

convinces her to go on the journey with

him to show her why these beasts are

better off dead

the story has been pretty interesting

there are tons of epic monster battles

and the art is simply amazing

definitely some of the best art i've

seen in a while and i can't wait to read

more

next up is shibuya goldfish so in this

manga goldfish suddenly start to appear

out of nowhere

and begin eating people there's blood

and guts everywhere

and you might be thinking go fish that

eat people oh but come on young how is

that even possible

this sounds incredibly stupid and it is

but that doesn't stop it from being

entertaining

the premise is so ridiculous that it

just works for some reason

this market is good old-fashioned fun

seeing people get eaten by goldfish in

the most hilarious and brutal ways

imaginable

is awesome they're just swimming around

doing their thing and it's oddly

satisfying watching a bunch of man

eating goldfish

i've been having a lot of fun with this

one next up we got smoking parade so

this is by far one of the edgiest manga

i've ever read it's almost hilarious how

edgy it is

so basically you have this technology

that can replace limbs organs etc but

all is not what it seems because this

new technology takes over the host

and turns them into these violent blood

thirsty murderers that just kill

everything around them

then you have this team that comes in

and deals with them before they get out

of control

it isn't anything particularly unique or

original but

it's still an enjoyable read i love edgy

manga where there's a lot of blood and

gore

and stuff like that going on so it

definitely has that and that's enough to

keep me reading

next manga that i've been reading is

called bloody monday this story follows

a young hacker who gets his hands on a

data chip with information involving

this deadly virus and from there on now

people get murdered

framed so on and so forth and he has to

use his hacking skills to put a stop to

the people trying to spread around this

deadly virus before it's too late

i've always loved manga or really any

form of media having to do with viruses

but it's kind of ironic i pick now of

all times to read a manga about a virus

but with that being said this manga has

been very solid all around and i

definitely can't wait to read more

next manga is tara for mars so i've

known about this manga for the longest

and i've always wanted to read it but

for some reason just never did until now

so in this manga scientists sent roaches

to mars as some sort of plan to make it

habitable for humans in the future

fast forward to the future and a group

is sent to mars and upon landing they

find out that those roaches

have mutated and turned into these

humanoid roach creatures

and you can't step on these

[ __ ] and you can't use raid

either

these people start getting clapped left

and right because these roaches are just

strong as hell it's just a bunch of

insanity and i love it

the roaches are so damn creepy but

hilarious at the same time with some of

the faces they make

and the things that they do this has

definitely been one of my favorite manga

to read at the moment

i picked hell's paradise up on a whim

simply because i thought the cover for

volume 1 looked dope

that's usually how i find a lot of my

manga if the cover art looks cool to me

i'll check it out

sometimes it works and i find a

genuinely great mogan other times the

cover was deceiving and the manga is

actually some butt

this is one of those times where it

worked out so you have an assassin where

basically he's about to be executed

until he's given a choice either die or

travel to this mysterious island in

search of this elixir

and if he finds it and brings it back

he'll get a pardon and be free he

decides that he wants to live and takes

the offer but he's not the only one the

offer was also given to a bunch of other

criminals

so they all travel to this island and

that's where the story begins

now the island is extremely messed up

there's all types of weird monsters

roaming around

and nothing really makes sense so he has

to deal with all these weird creatures

as well as other prisoners

uh because you know everybody's out to

get each other and everything like that

so certain alliances are formed and it's

just really interesting to see it unfold

and i'm really uh enjoying this manga so

far man the art is great the fights are

dope the main character is a ninja

you mean like naruto man no don't get

excited naruto it's not that

corny nard so this is my ninja no it's

nothing like that it's nothing like that

these are real ninjas here man the

abilities that he uses in battle are

extremely fun to watch

i can't wait to learn more about this

island and see where the story goes

so there you have it 11 manga that i've

been reading and think you should too

man do i love manga there's just so many

great stories out there

so hopefully you were able to find

something new to read on this list if

not well who cares go find something on

your own then
