      Your kind words mean so much! I was actually planning on making my 2022 list soon.. not sure if I should do another tierlist ( i dropped/disliked a decent number of manga this year, plus the "dropped" tier didn't get the best reaction, lesson learned) and instead just list my top 5. If you're interested, stick around, whatever I decide to do will be out within a few weeks to a month and I'd be happy to have you back!

    Definitely your tier list is actually pretty interesting half of these I've never even have the chance to read like Pluto and I would say slam dunk and some of them I've actually read.
    For instance blade of the immortal I've really enjoyed I'm surprised you didn't like that one particularly. But at the same time it is your list and you know there's certain things that basically you know it doesn't catch your eye or something like that I mean I understand
    Yeah I've been on this manga journey for the last four or five months that I've been taking a break from the American side of comics and just being jumping on to the Japanese manga so far I've hardly have found a bad one in the bunch except for the one that I just read I read it like halfway through I don't think you've read it yet it's Black clover I read the first volume and had to drop it I still have it I haven't finished it yet but it's just for me so bad that I didn't want to pick it up again but I'm probably going to pick it up just to finish it in like in a month or two because I got to finish it but definitely a really good list man

    Cool video! I know this is a bit late, but I thoroughly enjoyed your list! I just started getting into manga, so thanks for all of the indirect suggestions! As for Berserk, I totally get what you mean with the sexual violence :(. It's in the story SO MUCH that you start to become numb to it, and that's not something you should strive towards when writing a dark story. It's typically used to illustrate when an antagonist is a REALLY bad person, but if every antagonist uses this sexual violence, why even include it at all? Regardless, great list!

    • @ptown7205
      @ptown7205  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I can't wait for the day that D grey-man gets an ending. I don't know why the mangaka doesn't want to keep making more chapters after a long Hiatus and I think that she recovered from a health problem, I would take some help from assistants and trying to finish the story faster, so a berserk thing doesn't happen again :( . Sorry for my English I'm from Argentina, and I'm waiting for more videos like this one :)

    • @ptown7205
      @ptown7205  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      After everything that went down with the likes of miura and togashi, these health problems can be very significant. i believe in koshino's case it was also induced by heavy work, so getting back into it full swing may cause problems again. She has been dropping chapters quarterly, but i do too hope d gray man sees an ending. Also, thanks for stopping by, there may be more soon!

    Have you gotten around to reading these manga like rooster fighter , no gun life, dead man wonderland, attack on Titan ,Hellsing, and a few others in the future that I'll mention.
    If you do like a future review on a manga you have a read yet on the channel and I probably throw out if I've read it I'll just give a like or and maybe lead you to another one that you may have not heard about or you've heard about but you haven't really gotten into it yet or you just need a person to give you that you know description to get you into it

    I actually really disliked Jigokuraku for its ending. It just felt like “hey basically all of the main cast survived like every shonen series!”. How did you feel about the ending?
    I recommend Innocent and Innocent Rouge if you enjoy historical fiction (there’s definitely some creative liberties but the art was amazing)

    • @ptown7205
      @ptown7205  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      (JIGO SPOILERS!!!!)
      i was fine with it in the sense that I was really attacthed to everyone and we got a really sweet panel at the end with the survivors. I wasn't too happy with the yzuriha death fake out but if the fake out part was otherwise left out and it was made more clear that most of the cast was surviving I would be very much ok with it. Also, thaks for the recc, but i did try climber this year and didn't really enjoy it so chances are i may not enjoy their other works as well, including innocent and innocent rouge.

    Good video. My only problem is in Claymore and Berserk being in the same tier. The stories are somewhat comparable, but Claymore doesn't do a single thing better than Berserk. Characters, worldbuilding, artwork, plot, and even humor. It's very hard to argue that any of these things, aren't done much better in Berserk than in Claymore.

      i know exactly where you're coming from, and i knew someone would have this response. i actually liked the transformations just as much in Claymore as i did Berserk. My biggest drawback from berserk was the sexual violence, in which Claymore did not have that, thus making it an evenly enjoyable experience. So while claymore wouldn't even exist without Berserk, i still enjoyed them on a similar level, with Berserk having the edge. thanks for your input!

      @@ptown7205 The sexual violence in a good Seinen like Berserk isn't meant to be enjoyed. It's the opposite really - the Griffith/Casca Eclipse scene is meant to undercut your admiration of Griffith, bring out sympathy for Casca's tragic situation, and deepen your connection to Guts' motivations. (Among other things.) In fact, this is likely why you got plenty folks harrassing you about "bad taste": they don't understand that your list is more about your taste in manga-as-entertainment, or manga-as-distraction, or manga-as-aesthetically-pleasing, and less so about your taste in manga-as-high-literature, manga-as-challenge, or manga-as-existential. And it makes total sense that someone relatively new to the medium would initially seek out generally pleasurable, even-keeled experiences - no sense in blaming you for that.

      @@soleil2947 Thanks for the input! Very well said distinguishing between "entertainment" vs "challenge". I DO understand the point of the violence that occured in Berserk, and it works in it's effectiveness. I just knew there may have been some raised eyebrows for me not putting it in my favorites vs amazing (amazing is still high tier, but that may not have satisfied some). I'm very happy for your response and I wish more Berserk fans would understand what you've said. The other day I saw a Berserk stan chastize someone else for giving it a 9/10 instead of 10/10. Like, 9/10 is still a great score and the stan still thought the other person didn't even read it? AHAHAHA

      @@ptown7205 Yeah it really doesn't make sense to chastise people for their taste over the internet. It's never going to genuinely change someone's mind about a show. And if you're a fan of something and intend to enter "the public discourse" about it, you can easily learn more about it and hype it up without bullying some arbitrary out-group who "don't get it" (which most of the time means: they did get it, but they didn't care about getting the same things *out of* the fictional work that you did).
      Side note: I would recommend Oyasumi Punpun since it's fucking phenomenal, and Inio Asano's easily in the top 3 mangaka of all time. But it's got a lot of what you would hate or avoid. So instead I'd highly recommend checking out Asano's lighter-tone stuff like Solanin and Dead Dead Demon's Dededede-Destruction. Both are finished, Solanin is 2 volumes and DDDDD is 12 volumes. Of the two, DDDDD is funnier and Solanin is more sentimental, but they're both super charming and tightly-written.

Boichi could’ve done a few more chapters to delve deeper into character motivations but nah, he just whipped out the most nonsensical ending in a few chapters. It’s not even something he has planned out, he literally changed everything because of the Paris attack.
