- I'm excited to showcase Colorless by KENT, an underrated gem and the best new sci-fi manga I've read in 2022. It has everything I could ever want in a manga. Striking art, a thrilling premise, a story full of mystery and intrigue, a dark and rich world, a dystopian cyberpunk setting, cool character designs and more.
Thoughts on this one so far? Let me know!

that use of color is such a cool idea
This could be the sleeper hit of the year. I really enjoyed vol 1 and can't wait for the 2nd. I wonder if down the road they'll actually use a panel of color to really hit home a story/plot point. Great video.
Agree about it potentially being the sleeper hit of the year! It's an underrated gem for sure. I wonder about that too. It would be cool if something happens where the color comes back and you see these vibrant panels. Love the pops of color and black and white pages but that would be beautiful to see! Thank you so much!
I have Volume 1-5 in Japanese and i can safely say that yeah they will. I did not read the 5th volume but the 4th one made this into my favourite manga of all time it's going to be an amazing ride and i definetely buying the english volumes as well.
Just ordered it, can’t wait to read it, the art looks so good and I love the look of the cover.
Man the art and the cover👌 Two reasons I got into Colorless also. Awesome to hear that you are picking it up and are looking forward to reading it!
Interesting, I had no idea that KENT also worked on concept art for anime statues, that's super cool.
I adore this manga as well, and I basically will say a massive YES to everything you mentioned in the video. You did such an amazing, quick and on point rundown of what makes this series so special. The art style and whole aesthetic in the manga is so appealing, ngl I'll be shook if this ever gets an anime, it would look so cool!
I'm super happy to hear that Seven Seas sent you a review copy again, hopefully other publishers also start collabing with you more closely!
Also, I appreciated the design of the thumbnail, it's so appropriate for this video!
Definitely cool! Always awesome when two of my favorite hobbies collide in some fashion. I love KENT's Knights of Sidonia illustrations too 🤯
I really appreciate everything you said so much! I always am so thankful to you and your kind words. And yes! Agreed about an anime. That would be amazing. The aesthetic is one of the big things that really hooked me in to Colorless too. I remember talking to you about this one at some point. I know you did a video on it too. The other covers look beautiful.
I would love to collaborate with more publishers! That would be amazing. Definitely not something I ever expect, but I am truly grateful to Seven Seas for sending this one over. I'm excited to get more of the volumes in store!
Ah man, thank you!!! I was stressing over this thumbnail, because I wanted it to represent the series well so thank you so much for saying that! Hope you are doing well!!!
This is just what I was looking for. There's not a lot of info about this series, and you hit on everything that would appeal to me. Great video.
This is my new favorite channel!
Yeah I Will Be Picking This One Up Soon And The Art Work Is Beautiful, I'm Happy You Got It.
I saw the cover art and fell in love with it! Just order it and can’t wait to read it!
This looks so good!! I’m definitely going to check this out. We need more cyberpunk manga! 🙌🏻🤘🏻
Happy to hear you are going to check it out! And we really do! Some of my favorites to read so I'd love to see more also!
Looks really cool. It's always nice to see new physical releases.
Man it really does! Makes an amazing impression on you when you see it and then you get into it 🤯 Release day is always my favorite haha I order some online but I love finding new manga when they release in store too.
Oh wow, it looks amazing, the art is so nice, stunning.
You’re like one of the 6 TH-camrs I’m subscribed to😭 I look forward to your videos so much
Oh wow!! Thank you so much!!! It means so much to me that I'm one of the 6 you subscribe to and that you look forward to the videos! I really appreciate it a lot and hope your have an awesome day! 😄
@@AnimeCollective you too😄
Guess ill add this to my june pickups too. Thanks for the in depth review and comparison to daidark quality. I like how those feel in my hand
Man, me too. They look and feel incredible in hand. And of course! Thank you also!
I just started reading kaiju #8 and I got hooked and waiting for issue 8 and 9 to come out, but I saw colorless and I’m like I need this one as well so I will start this one within the next week, thanks for the review.
Looks like my kind of manga too! Very good recommendation, I'll be hoping for this manga being licensed in my country.
Awesome to hear that it connected with you and you enjoyed the recommendation! I really hope it is released in your country soon!
The art looks phenomenal
Just picked this up on Rightstuf, can't wait for it to get here and to check it out. Really enjoyed No Guns Life's artwork and looking forward to checking this out.
It's similar to No Guns Life for sure, but unique in many ways too! Hearing you enjoyed No Guns Life, you'll definitely enjoy Colorless. So awesome you picked it up on Right Stuf and hope you like it!
Thinking about how awesome and unique an anime adaptation of this could be with the anime actually in black and white but making great use of the flashes of colour when necessary
Another excellent review. This manga looks good, I will be checking this out.
I really appreciate it and so happy to hear you'll be checking it out!!!
I just read this last night and I really enjoyed it. I cant wait for more to be released.
Glad to hear you enjoyed it as well and I'm with you there! Anxiously awaiting the release of the next volume.
I found this book when I was gonna pick up the first beasters volume, but when I found out it takes place in a highschool and not college as I thought. So I put it down and looked though the shelves and found this and im totally hooked!
Looks awesome. I'm gonna wait until they're are more volumes out tho
I just finished reading this and it was awesome. Looking forward to volumes 2 & 3 releasing this year.
Man, me too! Can't wait and happy to hear you also enjoyed the first volume!
Amazing video!!
Thank you so much!!!
TH-cam is sometimes scary and eerie. I found volume 1&2 of Colorless as a bundle at a boardgames shop that usually doesn't sell mangas. I was captivated by the art style and bought them. Two days after the purchase, this video shows up as a recommendation.
I never watch videos discussing mangas and I never visited or even heard of this channel. It's like a supernova of coincidences.
Great video and a sweet channel. I might step by again. I wish you success and hope you will retain your passion.
I hope they do an omnibus or hardcover collection of this. Looks aces
Oh man, I would love to see that also! A hardcover collection would look incredible, especially with KENT's aesthetic and artwork.
been lookin to pick up this, but cant find vol.1 in store anywhere
This was such a good recommendation and a great read! Finished it in one afternoon. Great world building and concepts. Any other similar manga recommendations?
I felt the same about the world-building and concepts! It was an exciting read and the overall designs are striking too. I definitely have some similar recommendations! I'd say No Guns Life and Dorohedoro if you haven't checked them out yet.
@@AnimeCollective Dorohedoro, yes loved that too! Haven't read No Guns Life but I'll definitely give it a shot. Thank you again, keep up the great work!
Bought it the second I saw the only copy at my LCS on release day. LOVED it!
Man so happy to hear you loved it too!! It's awesome seeing so much love for this series, because it's amazing!
@@AnimeCollective but did you hear how long the wait is for vol 2? It’s Sept, I believe.
I read Colorless and was like, this person was influenced by Tsutomu Nihei. Then i found out he was an assistant to Tsutomu Nihei. Gotta love when you see direct influence of from teacher to student!
Love that akira poster.
Still waiting for a Brutal English translation but confident you'll let me know.
Alexander Iaccarino is such a phenomenal artist! And I for sure will! Really hoping we get news of a Brutal english release soon.
It’s so hard for me to move beyond the SPELL of H.R. Giger and the bleak Darwinistic Universe of Aliens where Homo Sapiens are thier own worst enemy since 1996 I’ve been a Dark Horse Aliens and Predator freak. I have the Battle Angel Alita collection and the film - the first time for some reason the chemistry for my brain wasn’t right but during lock downs I saw it twice on the big screen and it’s out of THIS WORLD holy ****! I’m dying for another Aliens Arc they say Ridley Scott is directing a pre-quell but I was so HOPING for a sequel to the 2017 Alien Covenant wirh Michael Fasbender I saw it at LEAST ten times can’t get enough !!!!!👑🌎
Man I want something new like BIOMEGA with those gritty black shades and dark world. This looks great but looks kind of softer like a type of "guardian" story or something. But I'm judging by pics, my tone is muted atm
can you do a video about gantz?
Definitely have plans to do a Gantz video in the future since it's one of my top manga!
Amazing series
Hideo Kojima's recommendation is just enough for me to get interested in any series 😄
Same! 😁Love that he posts what he's reading on his socials, so I can find new series to get into.
(Jay RoC) this is on my list for sure , actually Should of Added it on my last order .. it hasn't shipped yet I wonder if there is a way to add another book
Ah man, I really hope it ships out soon! I do this all the time too haha
super dope!! those are my favorite mangakas too!! haha. ill keep an eye on this manga. I recommend you HEART GEAR in case you haven't read it. Is great and kinda new.
Man that's so awesome!! haha Love both of their works so much! Awesome to hear that you are keeping an eye on this one! And yes!! I love Heart Gear, so this is a great recommendation. I got into Tsuyoshi Takaki's works through Black Torch, which I really enjoyed. Love his art style and the worlds he builds!
@@AnimeCollective haha epic. Im New to your channel and wow. So, great to find a sci-fi manga lover as me. haha. Instant subscribe a couple of days ago and I've been looking at your videos since. Im working on a new comic now so all sci-fi recommendations help to build my mind with great references. haha. Hope you are doing goo. Cheers!!
If Kojima were to help Kent on making a game of color/less. Mix of MGS w/ DS.
I have a question I’ve got about 80 manga right now and I’m getting a shelf soon my question is what your opinion is on stacking manga sideways on eachother in the shelf
Hey! Stacking manga upright is definitely better than stacking them sideways, because it distributes weight better on the shelf. When they are stacked sideways, the weight isn't distributed as well. It's better for the volumes to stack them upright also. The only thing I would say to watch out for is shelf bowing, which could be an issue with so much weight on the shelf. Hope that helps!
Hi ,I really apreciate your videos but can you make please a video about wich naruto manga is better , simple or 3 in 1.
Hey thank you so much!! Yeah I definitely can. I actually just put one up on the channel and hope its of help!
What state are you guys based in?
Hello,
can you please make a manga review of 20th centry boys?I will be so happy and thankful.
Hey! This is one that's definitely on my list to do, so I have one coming!
Main character reminds me of Dead Space.
Hi,Cristine! Can you make a review for Baki or Kengan Ashura.I saw the animes but idk If i should buy the mangas.
Hey! Kengan Ashura is one I talked about on my manga I'd love to see printed with english translation video, but it's definitely not the last time I'm going to talk about it on the channel! Baki is one I really enjoy too but have yet to make a video on it! I have plans to make a best martial arts manga video in the future, because they are some of my favorites though!
@@AnimeCollective I can not wait!
P.S:Thx for making my day!
@@DemonKingOfTyranny It makes me happy to hear you are looking forward to the video! Thank you so much and hope you have an amazing day!!! 😄
@@AnimeCollective Thx! You too!!! I just truly love what you are doing and i hope that you will fulfill your dreams!
Just read the first volume last night.
I think the 1st volume wasn't anything crazy good but it is very unique and I think that this manga has a huge potential.
Edit: the world building is amazing and I will definitely get volume 2 as soon as it comes out.
Definitely has a ton of potential and man... The world-building is so good! I am anxious to get volume 2 as well.
I'm colour blind so this is perfect
Do you have any other sci-fi recommendations?
Hey! I have a sci-fi manga recommendations post on my site if you'd like to check it out: animecollective.com/best-sci-fi-manga/
I just recently started it but still need to add a few more as well as some really big ones, like Alita and Ghost in the Shell. I add more each week since I have such a big list of sci-fi series I love 😅 I also need to add Colorless to it too! Eden: It's an Endless World! and Bokurano are two of my favorites but Rebuild World, Dead Dead Demon's Dededede Destruction, Dandadan, and Takopi's Original Sin are recent releases that I've been enjoying.
@@AnimeCollective Thank you very much! 😌
Anyway, THATS A BOOK.
The only problem with this manga is that Volume 2 only comes out in September ._.
Looked too good to not pick up
What anime do you want to see get a manga released in to English? I want to see the Sports anime free get put in to manga.
i agree there amazing manga but i truly believe colorless is kents idea and no one elses, theres just not a story regardless that i see exactly like it.
Not sure why, but I kinda expected this manga to be in color just to ironic
The livings easy.
Anime for-
Hideo rules not so sure now days but fuck, metal gear rules snake eater being my favorite
