Congratulations, due to your inability to accept that everyone has their own opinions that likely won’t align with your own this comment has earned the pin of shame!
@@omnibuscollector would've been a shame if i actually cared. i could've explained to you why your opinion about my comment is wrong but you must be too "busy" to reply. Not gonna delete that comment.
WEE WOO WEE WOO, this is the chill police. We have found copious amounts of 'narrow minded' and 'douchebaggery'. We're going to let you go with just a citation, but you need to chill.
Can’t wait to see Sakamoto Days in this list. Genuinely think the potential for this series is something else. Amazing pacing, wonderful vast and the world is expanding like crazy.
As I've got older and read more manga, it's become harder to enjoy new stories like I use to, but Sakamoto Days brings me back to how much I use to enjoy it. Dorohedoro and Chainsaw Man are two others that has me enjoying manga a lot. Jujutsu Kaisen an example of I've just read too much manga to enjoy that one as much; it's not bad but if you've read Bleach, HxH, and Naruto, it's very mid but would have loved it if new to manga
I’ve got different books for different genres, but Komi Can’t Communicate, Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle and JJK got me back into reading manga so I’ll give credit where credit is due there in terms of ongoing series. That’s the beauty of manga though; there’s something for everyone, regardless of what you like. Manga is for everyone.
when you talk about one piece it’s true, it truly is one of the greatest pieces of fiction out there. oda is one of the hardest working mangakas taking hardly any breaks during the past 20+ years making the series. he deserves the world♥️
I watched the anime and i got to like the crocodile arc or whatever his name was. And i couldnt stand it no more, when does it get good in your opinion. I kinda want to collect it because i know it gets better
@@widepeepohappy820 As someone that had never really gotten into manga/anime until recently, one piece was the first one I tried and I loved it from the first episode. Some people say either arlong park or alabasta (the one you'd be on currently) usually hook everyone, but if you're not hooked yet, the next big arc that seems to get everyone hooked is water 7/enies lobby which comes at about the 200 episode mark. Maybe One Piece just isn't for you but if you wanna give it a shot, try hang in there till Water 7/enies lobby, which some people consider the best arc.
@@widepeepohappy820 well it's good from the start imo, maybe it's just not for you, around 400eps/500chs it became my favorite series of all time, if you still have the energy, will to get into one piece then plz do so it's one of those series which i think everyone should experience, maybe check out the anime it's great till 500eps or you can check out 'one pace' which is a fan made version which cuts out all the fillers and is loyal to the manga panel for panel so One pace is like watching the anime
@@Lucas-sn1mz because i thought maybe the manga would fit me better then the anime as the First 200 ep the animation is bad. But i know it develops to insane heights
I've read one piece when I was younger. Around 2010. I must have read around the first 30 volumes maybe a bit less. I am very happy to anounce that I started picking up the manga, I've got the east blue and alabasta arc already. But I will continue till the end! It might take a while but I will complete this collection :) Thanks for this video, very interesting and wel done as always!
the “problem” with one piece for most people is it’s length, and it was the main issue with me for the longest time. but after picking it up, i can safely say it’s one of if not the best anime/manga i’ve seen
i'll add another one (i've just read the manga up to V30). The start. it's so slow, and boring. Now don't tell me i'm being corny, but like i've tried reading the first 300 chapters, but i just can't get in further after reading nearly a third (Yes!) of the series. It's just impossible. And that's the reason why i find the ppl who like the series usually started it as their first anime/manga, while others who have already been reading other things wont necessairly like it. I mean my favorite mangas are usually those dark, mature mangas about character devellopement. The most "childish" & light-hearted (Lol) series are something like Jojo's or oshi no ko. So my point is mainly " The more mangas u'll read, the less u'll like one piece" Sorry for this very long essay, but yes op sucks.
One of the high points of my year was finishing Pandora Hearts after so much time has passed since it ended. It became my favorite manga of all time and I felt so happy to finally honour Mochizuki-sensei work. Shes a big inspiration to me since I was in High School. Her art is beautiful, her script and story line is so complex and intricate. On the begging it starts pretty simple, but as the story goes on it just kept getting better and better to the point I was so heartbroken that it ended that I cried a little upon reading the last page. Another series that I have been always interest in because I love Sakura Card Captors since I was I kid was Tsubasa Chronicles. I finally got to experience to the fullest last year and it was fantastic. Everytime I think about how good it was I have an urge to read it all over again. The history is solid and gives time to you and the characters solve the mystery together. The art is fenomenal with highly detailed backgrounds and scenarios and seeing them all being more developed is such a treat. I loved it so much. I hope CLAMP gets to finally finishing xxxHOLIC too because is also mixes with Tsubasa as well.
Excluding the ones on your list, I'm enjoying Sousou no Frieren , Blue Lock, Dandadan and it's early, but I'm liking Yomi no Tsugai , the new work from Arakawa (I know these don't follow your rules for your top10, but I recommend all)
Yomi no Tsugai is good so far, but with only 2 chapters, hard to get a feel yet. Have you been reading Arslan? (Arakawa’s other ongoing series) Been really enjoying it.
I would love to see a review or some type of video on Planetes. There’s so much in that manga and I felt like I was able to take away the main message of it, but I feel like your analysis would do it so much more justice than my own.
@@kstiemsma unfortunately I’m not your guy on that, I just recently found out there was a plantes anime and haven’t been able to watch it yet. If I ever get around to watching it and still remember this thread exists, I’ll let you know lol
@@xjmasterx0907 no worries lol, thanks for reply! it's not too long anyways so i'll get around to reading it sometime, the concepts are interesting enough that it'll be worth reading
I'm personally really loving Fire Force even though it's ending soon, I don't think it gets enough credit tbh for how great it is. I'm also really enjoying Ghost Reaper Girl, Kaiju No.8 and Spy X Family. Really great list, I guess I gotta check out Dai Dark, it's the only one on this list I haven't read yet.
Houseki no kuni/Land of the Lustrous is quite literally my favorite manga of all time,, Haruko Ichikawa is so detailed in her paneling and her charcaterizations and the relationships she builds with her characters are so intertwined. I feel like she has Hajime Isayama levels of detail in her writing and is even better. Highly recommend,,
Was kinda hoping to see Undead Unluck on this list for 2021, as it was my Manga of the year, but I'll definitely keep a mental note of all these series I'm not already reading
@@M3g4UBERn00b yeah what His Royal Highness said, the beginning of the series is not a good representation of what the series is really about and its easily my 2nd favorite ongoing manga in Jump rn behind One Piece. I've also gotten a deeper appreciation with the extras that are in the volumes I've bought too, definitely recommend staying with it till chapter 9 at minimum and to be more fair about chapter 20, though it only gets better each subsequent arc
i don't read a ton of ongoing manga (usually the ongoing stuff i read is manhwa) but my favorite ongoing manga is yona of the dawn ☺️ i would be so excited if you even just read the first volume, it's fantastic! i feel like lots of people don't consider it because it is technically a shoujo manga but after the first chapter it gets more fantasy/action/political-fantasy based. if you like strong female leads and historical fantasy stuff definitely give it a shot. i'm glad you mentioned komi, i've read the first two volumes after my friends recommended it to me and i'm really enjoying it 😌
My list would probably look something like this (in no particular order): Vinland Saga, Black Clover, and Komi Can’t Communicate. If I include the finished series that I read/started then I’d also throw in The Promised Neverland and FullMetal Alchemist, since I read and collected both this year. For my first year of reading manga, I think I’ve done pretty well for myself xD
love the list man! Here's mine: Spy x Family Grand Blue Dreaming d gray man black lagoon hajime no ippo Mashle I don't usually read ongoing series so if i'm reading something ongoing it tells how enjoyable it is
I find it impossible to rank things of different genres against each other because they're just so apples to oranges, and then also excluding things without an official English license drastically shrinks my would-be list too. If I make anything, it would be multiple lists split by both genre and including/excluding unlicensed titles.
You don't get slightly more excited to read certain manga over others? It doesn't have to be apples to apples. It's purely about which series gives you the most enjoyment
@@levicrews3713 When it comes to say romcoms vs action series, yeah I just find it impossible when they're both really good. I can maybe pick a favorite overall title, and maybe a 2nd favorite, but once you're getting down to like 3-10, I really struggle.
Golden Kamuy is awesome! I still need to catch up but it is easily in my top ten favorite manga. Great characters, story and art. Definitely a underrated series that needs more love.
You literally described my exact route into manga... I was only reading comics, then picked up the first 3 volumes of My Hero Academia, and now my manga collection is growing weekly! Loving your videos 👍
I don’t have a top ten but Jujutsu Kaisen, SpyxFamily, and Mashle are really good. Also I’ve recently started collecting the One Piece 3 in 1s wish me luck with trying to find all of them
This is the type of thumbnail people need to use. Whenever I see "Comic/ manga haul" and I see the books all in a stack on the thumbnail, I don't need to watch the video because I already know what they got. If I have to click on the video, I'm significantly more likely to stick around and listen to what you have to say. Good job and nice video.
That’s part of why when I do thumbnails for haul videos I don’t put everything in view. I put new releases at the front but then stack stuff behind them so you can only typically see a few of the other things I grabbed.
If you love MHA you should read the spin off Vigilantes, it's sooo good and has so much character development from the older heroes and some really awesome new characters
Appreciate the MHA love :) I agree Murata’s art is absolutely incredible but I believe Horikoshi has some of the best *weekly* manga art, it’s incredible what he puts out!! It makes me wonder what his art would look like if he were writing a monthly series
@@jeffali5157 I respect that👌🏼 but we all have different opinions. I say what I say having read a lot of superhero comics and watched superhero series and films. BNHA is the superhero story of my dreams and I think it is magnificent but I am not saying that BNHA is the best superhero story, that depends on each person. I love Invincible and I still have to watch the Boys, it has been pending for a long time.
@@carlosdanielcalderonmontoy3723 True, I wouldn’t go that far tbh with a few exceptions, but like you said, it’s all subjective. I really recommend The boys, it’s so damn good
Wild, One Punch is my #1 fav manga. You should deff check out "Dandadan" though its made by one of fujimoto's former assistants that helped him on Chainsaw Man & Fire Punch. The artwork is phenomenal and character designs are really cool
2021 is the year I started reading Manga. It started with 3 series I always wanted to read. Akira, Battle Angel and Ghost in the Shell. And it’s blossomed into other series such as Berserk, Helsing, Dragon Ball Super, My Hero and Demon Slayer. This year I’ll be adding dozens more to that list. But as I’m new and haven’t read through a lot of what I bought. I can’t make a top ten list.
Curious given they don’t seem necessarily up your alley but I respect your opinion a lot and at least one meets this list requirements… Komi being in this list is the only reason I even ask honestly: 1) My Dress-Up Darling: anime just started. Caught up on the manga and literally obsessed. Generally not a fan of fan-service, but it’s actually justified (mostly) in this series. Story and romance is amazing though imo. Currently ongoing. 2) Horimiya. Still new to manga collecting, and it’s technically completed (in Japan, but not English), but this is my favorite manga for sure to this point. Haven’t seen you mention this one in any prior videos so I’d absolutely love to hear your thoughts on it.
I literally just started Dead Dead Demons Dededede Destruction like a week ago and just now caught up. As a fan of PunPun I absolutely love it and I am sad to hear its ending soon
Well since Vagabond and HxH are dead, this is what it looks like: 10. Witch Hat Atelier 9. A Bride's Tale 8. Made in Abyss 7. Asadora 6. Golden Kamuy 5. Vinland Saga 4. One Punch-Man 3. Kaiji 2. REAL 1. One Piece Look at that, our top 2 are the same. Good taste.
I’m new to manga but I was able to pick up box set 4 of one piece. Now just trying to find 1-3. And I have vol. 1&2 of Vinland Saga on the way. Currently reading Mobile Suit Gundam Origins and Blade of the Immortal and enjoying both!
Other than what have been mentioned, my favorite ongoing manga is Sakamoto's Days and Dandadan!, and I've just caught up with JJK, and it's really caught me off guard by how great and insanely good the story is
I LOVED your comments on one piece. I used to watch one piece back in the day(2010-2015) but eventually dropped because it is too long. I was around dressrosa I think so I assume I may not have to come back to every single episode, but rather watch these highlights instead
Hiatus x Hiatus 😭 My favorite on-going ones haven't released in English yet, but Blue Box, Elusive Samurai, and Sakamoto Days. Thanks for the recommendation of Dead Dead Demons. I'm digging Kaiju No. 8 and I'm really enjoying Dandadan as well.
Goodnight Pun Pun was one of my favourites so I've been collecting Dead Dead until it's complete. Only up to Vol 8 of To Your Eternity. Blood on the Tracks I've been following the closest. Have you checked out Oshimi's Inside Marie?
Series I’ve enjoyed in 2021 (no particular order): - Happiness - Livingstone - Astra Lost In Space - Stravaganza Each offered me a different experience in terms of storytelling and character development. They might not be top contenders but are definitely worth a read. *These series are complete, not ongoing*
Great list!. Going to have to add a couple to the bucket list. I did watch the first season of Golden Kamuey but did not think much of it so I have not kept up with the anime releases might have to revisit it after seeing you talk about it.
I just want to say, I've been collecting manga for way over a decade and always love your ongoing manga list and recommendations. Got into Komi Can't communicate, Golden Kamuy, Vinland Saga, and To Your Eternity because of one of your recommended videos (maybe 2 years ago?) and love those series. To Your eternity I think has a nice arc going on, just a weird blend of high school life wasn't expected. Thanks for putting these videos out, will definitely check out Blood on the Tracks(great Bob Dylan song)and finally will get around to picking up Real, just still a little salty about Inoue not touching on Vagabond haha.
I can't blame you for putting One Piece at number one. Like you, it's one of the few ongoing manga I regularly keep up with. It's always been a constant in my life. The current arc has been solid. Some of the most entertaining stuff I've read from the series in a long while(Especially compared to Dressrosa). In general, One Piece has its problems but I still very much respect/ love Oda's work. And I look forward to keep experiencing this series until its ending.
My Top 10 (following your rules and in no particular order because ranking things is hard lol): Fire Force, Golden Kamuy, One Piece, Dandadan, Kaiju No. 8, Tokyo Revengers, Sakamoto Days, Kengan Omega, Four Knights of the Apocalypse, and My Hero Academia. It's hard not to put REAL and Vinland Saga on here but like you said I tend to forget a little how much I love them in-between releases haha
My fav manga that I’m caught up to for 2022 Jujutsu Kaisen Sakamoto Days One Punch Man Dragon Ball Super Boruto Kaiju no. 8 One piece (not caught up yet) Yomi no Tsugai (just started DEC 2021) Chainsaw Man (pt2)
The Manga I've read in 2021 are:- 1) Biomega 2) Cyber Blue 3) Knights of Sidonia 4) The Heroic Legend of Arsalan 5) Black Torch 6) Gunka no Baltzar 7) Ratman 8) Keyman 9) Knights and Magic
Well the good news is Slam Dunk is finally available widely the complete run without scalper hold outs of $100 stolen ex library copies . Thanks for Real unfortunately there’s some scalper hold outs I’ve heard greatness about it years ago but easily obtaining the full 15 volume run at retail price poses some challenges .
I haven't been keeping up with manga as much as I'd like, but the ongoing manga I really enjoyed reading last year were The Way of the Househusband, Witch Hat Atelier, and A Bride's Story. I've really been enjoying all of them, but A Bride's Story is definitely my favorite of the three. Wish it released faster, but I get that such detailed art takes a lot more time. I'm just impatient lol.
Top ongoing manga series of 2021 in no particular order for me were blue box, dandadan, sakamoto days, Kaiju no 8, and kingdom. A lot of these series were just a breath of fresh and didn’t have any real low points during the year. Top 3 ongoing webtoons from 2021: 1)kubera: one last god 2) purple hyacinth 3) the girl from random chatting (random chat)
For manga that have recently finished, was the third one mentioned called “Opossums”? I can’t find anything by that name but would be interested in learning more
I've got some similar feelings about your My Hero / One Punch Man point you made in the video. Curious if this latest chapter or two from OPM has left you feeling like we're about to get some serious plot depth, cos it has for me. Wonder if I'm looking too far into it.. Great Video
That Dai Dark volume is about the average size of a standard manga volume here in germany. I was always a little jealous that your average volume in english was slightly bigger, not to mention those huge viz signature editions. Around here we rarely ever get oversized volumes and we only have one publisher that releases theirs in that signature edition size all the time... the rest are mostly in that Dai Dark format.
I am currently reading a few of the titles in your top 10 list (Komi, JJK, Dededededestruction) and so agree w/ you that Dedededestruction is superb. Am now intrigued w/ Dai Dark despite never having read anything from Q Hayashida - will check this title out!
Do you also watch the one piece anime? If so, I was wondering whether you prefer the manga or the anime since I only have time to do one, and am wondering which is better to commit to. 🤔

Golden Kamuy is awesome! I still need to catch up but it is easily in my top ten favorite manga. Great characters, story and art. Definitely a underrated series that needs more love.
Although dai dark is released in small form I love the quality of the volumes
Blood on the track is the masterpiece for felling bad after a quick read
You literally described my exact route into manga... I was only reading comics, then picked up the first 3 volumes of My Hero Academia, and now my manga collection is growing weekly! Loving your videos 👍
I don’t have a top ten but Jujutsu Kaisen, SpyxFamily, and Mashle are really good. Also I’ve recently started collecting the One Piece 3 in 1s wish me luck with trying to find all of them
My current reads are Jojo, Kaiju No. 8 and some completed content like Demon Slayer and Naruto. Hyped for the vid
I am going to start reading kaiju no.8 next week.
This is the type of thumbnail people need to use. Whenever I see "Comic/ manga haul" and I see the books all in a stack on the thumbnail, I don't need to watch the video because I already know what they got. If I have to click on the video, I'm significantly more likely to stick around and listen to what you have to say. Good job and nice video.
That’s part of why when I do thumbnails for haul videos I don’t put everything in view. I put new releases at the front but then stack stuff behind them so you can only typically see a few of the other things I grabbed.
One Piece will always be my number 1, too :)
Amazing Video and Great Content as usual! 🤩
I really want to know your thoughts on kingdom tho. I would really love to see a video on the manga that haven't had an English release yet
Great list! My current ongoing favorites not mentioned would be HInamatsuri, Delicious in Dungeon, Asadora! and Teasing Master Takagi-san.
Komi is so wholesome that I got my dad into reading it
One piece being on number one on your list made me really happy. I loved the entire list
One piece the goat
Goated list and video
I'm agree for Dai Dark, Seven Seas release are really small, not only that the letters are so small too, sometimes it's hard to read.
If you love MHA you should read the spin off Vigilantes, it's sooo good and has so much character development from the older heroes and some really awesome new characters
Seconded!
It’s much better than the original tbh
Appreciate the MHA love :) I agree Murata’s art is absolutely incredible but I believe Horikoshi has some of the best *weekly* manga art, it’s incredible what he puts out!! It makes me wonder what his art would look like if he were writing a monthly series
Horikoshi's art is fucking AMAZING!
Also, BNHA is the superhero story of my dreams.
It’s a shame everyone loves to shit on BNHA. It’s truly one of my favorite new Gen Shounen
@@carlosdanielcalderonmontoy3723 I’ve seen better from the boys and invincible, but MHA is ok
@@jeffali5157 I respect that👌🏼 but we all have different opinions. I say what I say having read a lot of superhero comics and watched superhero series and films. BNHA is the superhero story of my dreams and I think it is magnificent but I am not saying that BNHA is the best superhero story, that depends on each person.
I love Invincible and I still have to watch the Boys, it has been pending for a long time.
@@carlosdanielcalderonmontoy3723 True, I wouldn’t go that far tbh with a few exceptions, but like you said, it’s all subjective. I really recommend The boys, it’s so damn good
Idk why One Piece's length is such a barrier to entry, I read the whole thing in 2 months
Wild, One Punch is my #1 fav manga.
You should deff check out "Dandadan" though its made by one of fujimoto's former assistants that helped him on Chainsaw Man & Fire Punch. The artwork is phenomenal and character designs are really cool
2021 is the year I started reading Manga. It started with 3 series I always wanted to read. Akira, Battle Angel and Ghost in the Shell. And it’s blossomed into other series such as Berserk, Helsing, Dragon Ball Super, My Hero and Demon Slayer. This year I’ll be adding dozens more to that list. But as I’m new and haven’t read through a lot of what I bought. I can’t make a top ten list.
Curious given they don’t seem necessarily up your alley but I respect your opinion a lot and at least one meets this list requirements… Komi being in this list is the only reason I even ask honestly:
1) My Dress-Up Darling: anime just started. Caught up on the manga and literally obsessed. Generally not a fan of fan-service, but it’s actually justified (mostly) in this series. Story and romance is amazing though imo. Currently ongoing.
2) Horimiya. Still new to manga collecting, and it’s technically completed (in Japan, but not English), but this is my favorite manga for sure to this point. Haven’t seen you mention this one in any prior videos so I’d absolutely love to hear your thoughts on it.
Horimiya is absolutely fantastically written.
I literally just started Dead Dead Demons Dededede Destruction like a week ago and just now caught up. As a fan of PunPun I absolutely love it and I am sad to hear its ending soon
I found this a few moths ago and it’s immediately my favorite manga I’ve read. Such a wonderfully strange world he’s created
Also Dandadan probably tops my ongoing 2021 books! Alongside Asadora as well.
I love your videos! I hope you'll do much more
Who are you? Why did youtube require so much time for you to appear on my homepage?
Love your vibes, love the collected eloquence. Instant sub.
Chainsawman is still ongoing. 2nd arc should be coming out this year. Big hype!
That said it'd still be excluded just like Hiatus x Hunter
Well since Vagabond and HxH are dead, this is what it looks like:
10. Witch Hat Atelier
9. A Bride's Tale
8. Made in Abyss
7. Asadora
6. Golden Kamuy
5. Vinland Saga
4. One Punch-Man
3. Kaiji
2. REAL
1. One Piece
Look at that, our top 2 are the same. Good taste.
I’m new to manga but I was able to pick up box set 4 of one piece. Now just trying to find 1-3. And I have vol. 1&2 of Vinland Saga on the way. Currently reading Mobile Suit Gundam Origins and Blade of the Immortal and enjoying both!
You should pick up gundam thunderbolt and blade of immortal omnibuses. The 10 omnibus looks great on the shelf
I loved the video so much! I hope you’re able to do this every year
Nice I was looking forward to this video
You like Komi Can't Communicate which is fairly similar to Kaguya-sama: Love is War which, if you have read I would like to know your opinions on.
Other than what have been mentioned, my favorite ongoing manga is Sakamoto's Days and Dandadan!, and I've just caught up with JJK, and it's really caught me off guard by how great and insanely good the story is
Dead Dead Demons is my favorite manga. The art and characters are excellent!
I remember watching this video last year and you are the one that got me into the manga my hero academia thank you
I LOVED your comments on one piece.
I used to watch one piece back in the day(2010-2015) but eventually dropped because it is too long.
I was around dressrosa I think
so I assume I may not have to come back to every single episode, but rather watch these highlights instead
GOAT Piece
Hiatus x Hiatus 😭
My favorite on-going ones haven't released in English yet, but Blue Box, Elusive Samurai, and Sakamoto Days. Thanks for the recommendation of Dead Dead Demons. I'm digging Kaiju No. 8 and I'm really enjoying Dandadan as well.
Goodnight Pun Pun was one of my favourites so I've been collecting Dead Dead until it's complete. Only up to Vol 8 of To Your Eternity. Blood on the Tracks I've been following the closest. Have you checked out Oshimi's Inside Marie?
Series I’ve enjoyed in 2021 (no particular order):
- Happiness
- Livingstone
- Astra Lost In Space
- Stravaganza
Each offered me a different experience in terms of storytelling and character development. They might not be top contenders but are definitely worth a read.
*These series are complete, not ongoing*
One piece is also my no1 always gets me hyped ,jjk and vinland saga are also great ,good video .
One piece is shit these days. JJK and Vinland Saga are top tier
@@jordkinsmith3588 what green stuff do you take bro one piece is on its peak these days
@@Meshowvid its REALLY not. Its sooo bad these days. Wano is one of the all-time worst shonen arcs.
Great list!. Going to have to add a couple to the bucket list. I did watch the first season of Golden Kamuey but did not think much of it so I have not kept up with the anime releases might have to revisit it after seeing you talk about it.
I just want to say, I've been collecting manga for way over a decade and always love your ongoing manga list and recommendations. Got into Komi Can't communicate, Golden Kamuy, Vinland Saga, and To Your Eternity because of one of your recommended videos (maybe 2 years ago?) and love those series. To Your eternity I think has a nice arc going on, just a weird blend of high school life wasn't expected. Thanks for putting these videos out, will definitely check out Blood on the Tracks(great Bob Dylan song)and finally will get around to picking up Real, just still a little salty about Inoue not touching on Vagabond haha.
I can't blame you for putting One Piece at number one. Like you, it's one of the few ongoing manga I regularly keep up with. It's always been a constant in my life. The current arc has been solid. Some of the most entertaining stuff I've read from the series in a long while(Especially compared to Dressrosa). In general, One Piece has its problems but I still very much respect/ love Oda's work. And I look forward to keep experiencing this series until its ending.
Great video man keep it up, love all the content recently 👍
Did you get a new camera or was the lighting really good. Video looks great!
For me one piece is the best every year its just soooo goodd man love it ,great video !
Holy crap! that quick math was impressive.
My Top 10 (following your rules and in no particular order because ranking things is hard lol):
Fire Force, Golden Kamuy, One Piece, Dandadan, Kaiju No. 8, Tokyo Revengers, Sakamoto Days, Kengan Omega, Four Knights of the Apocalypse, and My Hero Academia.
It's hard not to put REAL and Vinland Saga on here but like you said I tend to forget a little how much I love them in-between releases haha
what do you think about Spt X Family?
Blood on the tracks is still ongoing?
My fav manga that I’m caught up to for 2022
Jujutsu Kaisen
Sakamoto Days
One Punch Man
Dragon Ball Super
Boruto
Kaiju no. 8
One piece (not caught up yet)
Yomi no Tsugai (just started DEC 2021)
Chainsaw Man (pt2)
Kaiju No 8 is great. It's the Shonen battle tropes refined and it is insanely refreshing to focus on an older protagonist who is an adult.
Have you read Spy X Family? I just started reading manga when it was on about 6 chapters, but it’s definitely one of my favorites so far.
@@timsquires4705 I might read it if I enjoy the anime adaptation coming this year
REAL is sooooo good, it pains me that chapters take a while to come out
The Manga I've read in 2021 are:-
1) Biomega
2) Cyber Blue
3) Knights of Sidonia
4) The Heroic Legend of Arsalan
5) Black Torch
6) Gunka no Baltzar
7) Ratman
8) Keyman
9) Knights and Magic
Well the good news is Slam Dunk is finally available widely the complete run without scalper hold outs of $100 stolen ex library copies . Thanks for Real unfortunately there’s some scalper hold outs I’ve heard greatness about it years ago but easily obtaining the full 15 volume run at retail price poses some challenges .
Excelent video.
I wonder if it weren´t for your criteria/rules, would you still be placing berserk, vagabond and hxh?
I haven't been keeping up with manga as much as I'd like, but the ongoing manga I really enjoyed reading last year were The Way of the Househusband, Witch Hat Atelier, and A Bride's Story. I've really been enjoying all of them, but A Bride's Story is definitely my favorite of the three. Wish it released faster, but I get that such detailed art takes a lot more time. I'm just impatient lol.
Top ongoing manga series of 2021 in no particular order for me were blue box, dandadan, sakamoto days, Kaiju no 8, and kingdom. A lot of these series were just a breath of fresh and didn’t have any real low points during the year.
Top 3 ongoing webtoons from 2021: 1)kubera: one last god 2) purple hyacinth 3) the girl from random chatting (random chat)
For manga that have recently finished, was the third one mentioned called “Opossums”? I can’t find anything by that name but would be interested in learning more
Love to see Golden Kamuy up there
hey how do you feel about fire force?
I've got some similar feelings about your My Hero / One Punch Man point you made in the video. Curious if this latest chapter or two from OPM has left you feeling like we're about to get some serious plot depth, cos it has for me. Wonder if I'm looking too far into it..
Great Video
Berserk is being continued, 2 new chapters have been released as of now. They're both shorties but goodies.
Man that dorohedoro shirt is so damn cool! Where i can find It?
That Dai Dark volume is about the average size of a standard manga volume here in germany. I was always a little jealous that your average volume in english was slightly bigger, not to mention those huge viz signature editions. Around here we rarely ever get oversized volumes and we only have one publisher that releases theirs in that signature edition size all the time... the rest are mostly in that Dai Dark format.
I am currently reading a few of the titles in your top 10 list (Komi, JJK, Dededededestruction) and so agree w/ you that Dedededestruction is superb. Am now intrigued w/ Dai Dark despite never having read anything from Q Hayashida - will check this title out!
Do you also watch the one piece anime? If so, I was wondering whether you prefer the manga or the anime since I only have time to do one, and am wondering which is better to commit to. 🤔
You love One Piece!
Would you ever do a video talking about Attack on Titan as a whole and your thoughts on it?
Hopefully Kingdom get official English release
Any plans on starting a discord server for the community?
No
I know this is about ongoing manga but the "I was not wrong" caught me so off guard
Shocked sakamoto days isn’t on there after this new arc!
Read the first chapter. Didn't like it. I gave it another shot and now I love it. I'm just going to wait for physical releases.
I didn’t know Real was still ongoing!
