For those of us that will get back to this video some time later, here are the stamps for the titles: 0:21 - 1:47 Magus of the Library 1:47 - 2:27 Tsui no Taimashi: Ender Geister 2:28 - 4:05 Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku 4:05 - 5:04 Bakemonogatari 5:05 - 6:40 Windbreaker 6:40 - 7:54 The Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service 7:54 - 9:22 Ragna Crimson 9:22 - 10:27 The Apothecary Diaries 10:27 - 11:56 The Witch and the Beast 11:56 - 13:04 Hikaru ga Shinda Natsu
I will never read magus because I’m still fucking pissed the author just said fuck it and forgot about seventh garden ending on a massive cliff hanger. Same thing with “I am a hero” shittiest ending the mandala literally gave up
Hey, thank you so much!!! Definitely going to keep putting out these recommendation videos and they are going to become a regular part of the channel. I always try my best to shine a light on underrated series, so it means a lot to hear that!
Nice, Book Depositary has all of them, I picked up the first volumes of Magus Of The Library, Bakemonogatari, Ragna Crimson & The Witch & the Beast, they look like great series, can’t wait to start reading. You always have the best recommendations, lots of great series.
Oh man, you got a lot of them! haha That's so awesome. I really hope you enjoy them all. I really appreciate it as always! Glad you are enjoying the recommendations and it makes me happy knowing that more people are picking these incredible series up. The art in every single one of them is amazing too!
@@AnimeCollective Yea you bring us series that I’ve never seen anywhere before, most of those have 6-8 volumes out and I’ve never heard a word about them. And they all look amazing, you always find us the gems, thanks Kristin.
The Witch and The Beast is probably one of the most underrated manga of all time. It kinda is like Ancinet Magus Bride, but if you want it to be more edgy. Literally brother and sister. I got all 9 volumes and I can say that I couldn't be happier for this manga to get an anime adaptation. Fingers crossed for 2023 since it got announced recently. Go check it out 👌🏼
Love Magus of the Library but the release takes so long so im scared to finish reading the 5th volume and then have to wait for a year or more. 😔 art is so amazing
Definitely with you there! It's so good I want to keep reading but the sixth volume isn't coming out until February 7, 2023 according to Amazon. I'll probably have to re-read the volumes before then😅Really been hoping for a continuation of 7th Garden too since it's been on hiatus!
I think that my tastes are close to yours so your recommendations always get on my to read lists. Thanks again hahaha. Especially Tsui no Taimashi, and the witch and the beast
Man yeah, those two have some of the most amazing action sequences I've ever seen but they have great stories and art too. Definitely sounds like we have similar taste in manga and thank you so much as well!!! Hope you enjoy them if you get into them!
I own Kurosagi in the singles. I know Dark Horse is releasing new chapters in the omnibus versions but I also wish we were getting the new content in the singles too >< Also thanks for posting the list of restocks thats coming! I'm excited for Nana, Gangsta, Yu Yu Hakusho, Bungo Stray Dogs, Kamisama Kiss, and Spirit Circle. So many good series coming back into print!
@@TheLaserbologna Some of the volumes were relisted with June 30, 2022 restock dates on B&N not too long ago! They have since been relisted as temporarily out of stock again (stock sold out fast), but it's a good sign that some are coming back in.
Awesome that you own the singles! Really hoping to get my hands on them someday too. Thank you so much too!!! I was hoping it would be of help! So much has been out of stock lately, it was getting hard for me to keep track of haha Many of those are on my list to get when they come back in too! Agreed, some exciting restocks for sure!
Wow I was really surprised to see Ender Geister here, glad to see it was shouted out though as it’s a very fun series to read through. One manga I read recently that I recommend to everyone is Blank Canvas by Akiko Higashimura. It’s an autobiography about the author’s journey of becoming a manga artist and navigating through art, school, and life. It’s an incredible series that impacted my perspective on life so much and the fact that this kind of story could only be done through the manga medium is really fitting. It’s currently available in the form of 5 paperbacks by Seven Seas collecting the whole series and only takes about a day to read through.
After reading Ender Geister, I couldn't stop talking about it haha. It really is such a fun read as you said. Happy to hear that you enjoy it as well! Blank Canvas sounds really interesting. I'm going to have to check it out. I've been meaning to get into more josei, including Princess Jellyfish, so I'd love to delve into this memoir as well. After hearing what you said it sounds like an impactful read, so I'm looking forward to it! Love the quality of Seven Seas manga too, so that's another plus. Thank you so much for recommending it to me!!!
And there they all go into my cart. Thank you for the great recs! I really enjoy manga with a bit of romance but aren’t 100% romance focused. It’s definitely a bonus for me and just kinda adds a something extra to a good story.
haha I'm the same way when I get recommendations. Thank you so much!!! Most of these are super underrated so it's awesome that you are going to check them out! I am the same way. Big fan of series that have a romantic subtext and I agree! I'll be sure to add more series like this in future recommendations.
If you havent already checked out Hakaijuu or Apocalypse No Toride you should give them a try. Both are horror manga that progress from beginning of the apocalypse very much like highschool of the dead but more of a less humorous and more grounded feeling.
Absolutely love both of these series. Fort of Apocalypse is probably my favorite zombie manga to ever release and the art in Hakaijuu is insane. Thank you for mentioning and recommending them!!! You were right that I'd enjoy them!
Some really good recommendations. Ragna Crimson is a hidden gem. I need to check out Magus of the Library and Bakemonogatari. Also the author of Kurosagi has a next series that's really good called MPD Psycho.
Thank you so much and I'm glad you enjoyed some of the recommendations!! It really is such an underrated series and it's a true hidden gem as you said. Two incredible ones to check out. Both have amazing stories and art. MPD Psycho is one I've definitely been on the look out for! Really hoping to track the volumes down or to get a Deluxe Edition release of them some day.
Magnus of the Library looks absolutely captivating. I'm usually into more action-oriented stuff (or sci-fi) but I can check out more laid-back stuff if it seems this good. I hope for the day Ogure Ito illustrates a manga I actually care about; I swear I've been wanting to own something illustrated by him for years but I usually don't care for his stories or Bakemonogatari in this case. Hopefully some day he'll do a short mecha manga or something. Kurasagi has a fascinating concept, I'm surprised no production company turned it into a drama series. Finally, I agree Ragna Crimson's art has a lot of "soul" and some cool designs.
Man, a mecha manga by Oh! Great would be amazing with the level of detail he puts into his artwork. Would love to see some mecha designs by him and the type of world he would create. I really hope you are able to get into Oh! Great's work someday. Have you tried Tenjo Tenge or Air Gear yet? Both are more action-based if you haven't looked into them already. I'm the same way. Love action-packed series and sci-fi, but love some slower-paced, fantasy, or slice of life series also. And it really does! Ragna Crimson has such a unique and cool art style. You'll have to let me know what you think of Magus of the Library if you check it out!
Seriously great recommendations, I’ll definitely be picking up a few at some point! If I might inquire though, what manga is the rightmost panel on the thumbnail from? It really spoke to me as well.
Hi Christin, If you want something interesting, but only scanlated. Try Saru Lock. It’s a seinen about a highschool boy who is a locksmith at his fathers business. He gets in trouble with gangsters, yakuza, porn business, and wacky antics. It’s funny and a pretty good read overall.
Thank you so much too!!! Recommendation videos are so helpful when you are getting started out. There's so much to explore 😅 Wotakoi is one of the most hilarious series I've ever read, so it's awesome to hear that you are interested in it!
Well I’m back and re-subscribed I should have never left I took your channel for granted and when I tried exploring others that were “bigger” everything fell apart giant egos , fancy editing and stupid stupid attempts at humor add insult to injury they had NO IDEA what they were talking about !!!! Corpse Delivery Service I bought when the market was high like over $250 because they’re Dark Horse and they NEVER do large runs . Look at the insane $1k price for Eden !!! Is it worth it ? Must be a perfect storm of special . I’ll date myself but Corpse Delivery Service is the manga version of Hana Barbara’s SCOOBY DOO!!!!! Identical plot angles 💀😂.
Have you gotten a chance to read MPD Psycho by Eiji Otsuka? Rare and out of print manga. I was able to get a deal on the paperbacks volumes 1-9 and currently looking to buy 10 and 11 at fair prices.
One I've been on the hunt for! Really hoping to find them someday but also hoping for a Deluxe Edition or reprint. Awesome that you were able to find all of those for such a good deal. Hope you have the same luck with 10 and 11!
Hey! I have the Deluxe Edition on preorder! I'll try my best to track down volume 1 of the paperbacks so I can do a video comparing the two editions side by side and talk about my thoughts on the series!
For those of us that will get back to this video some time later, here are the stamps for the titles:
0:21 - 1:47 Magus of the Library
1:47 - 2:27 Tsui no Taimashi: Ender Geister
2:28 - 4:05 Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku
4:05 - 5:04 Bakemonogatari
5:05 - 6:40 Windbreaker
6:40 - 7:54 The Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service
7:54 - 9:22 Ragna Crimson
9:22 - 10:27 The Apothecary Diaries
10:27 - 11:56 The Witch and the Beast
11:56 - 13:04 Hikaru ga Shinda Natsu
Thank you for time stamping all of the series for everyone!
I will never read magus because I’m still fucking pissed the author just said fuck it and forgot about seventh garden ending on a massive cliff hanger.
Same thing with “I am a hero” shittiest ending the mandala literally gave up
The witch and the beast is so underrated
Oh my God it’s so good, it was my favourite new manga I read last year.
Oh wow, the art in Magus of the Library is absolutely amazing, I’m adding this to my list straight away, I hope Book Depositary has it.
Top-notch art for sure. Some of the most detailed and intricate panels I've ever seen. Glad you are going to check it out!
your manga recommendations are really great, I hope this would be a common content from now on, I really like how underrated most of this are.
Hey, thank you so much!!! Definitely going to keep putting out these recommendation videos and they are going to become a regular part of the channel. I always try my best to shine a light on underrated series, so it means a lot to hear that!
@@AnimeCollective Hope you'll someday cover Kento Ankokuden Cestvs (part 1), Kendo Shitouden Cestvs (part 2). Most underrated manga of all time imo.
Nice, Book Depositary has all of them, I picked up the first volumes of Magus Of The Library, Bakemonogatari, Ragna Crimson & The Witch & the Beast, they look like great series, can’t wait to start reading. You always have the best recommendations, lots of great series.

I picked up Bakemonogatari on a whim from the Right Stuf sale solely because the cover art looked amazing. Glad to see it on your list!
Oh! Greats art is one of my favorite’s
He knows how to get you with his cover art! haha

Finnally the witch and the beast gets the love it deserves
The Witch and the Beast is amazing manga - I cannot wait to see the 11th volume and the second season of amine. It's a perfectly created world
Seriously great recommendations, I’ll definitely be picking up a few at some point! If I might inquire though, what manga is the rightmost panel on the thumbnail from? It really spoke to me as well.
The witch and the beast is stunning! I also highly recommend
It really is! Makes me happy to see more love in the comments for the series!
your recommendations are really good. thank you

I'll definitely be checking some of these out considering I had never heard of them until right now so thanks for that 👍😁👍
Thank you so much also!! Awesome to hear that you will be checking some of them out!
The art on the right of the thumbnail…which manga is that image from? Great video!
Hey! Thank you so much!!! That panel is from Bakemonogatari.
As a newbie to manga I love recommendation videos like this! Thank you! Wotakoi: Love Is Hard for Otaku sounds awesome :)
