below
number 10 spy family
an espionage thriller an unorthodox
family drama
a gut-bustingly funny satire this series
is
all of these and so much more in order
to maintain the fragile peace between
the east
and west expert agent lloyd codename
twilight is tasked with infiltrating the
neighboring nation as a model citizen
along with a false family little does he
know his new bride
yaru while appearing dainty and sweet is
actually an
assassin and their new adoptive daughter
anya is an esper who can read minds
while this series never fails to earn a
laugh perhaps its biggest triumph is how
it showcases the sweet dynamics of this
pretend family
you will be willing to go to war to
protect anya
number 9. 20th century boys we're almost
hesitant to include
this legendary title since its influence
is so profound that it's likely fans
wouldn't settle for anything less than a
pitch perfect adaptation of this sci-fi
mystery thriller
one that's more akin to a stephen king
novel than your average
seinen following the apparent suicide of
a high school friend
kenji's life is thrown into chaos at the
turn of the century
with the rise of a deadly cult and other
inhuman enemies lurking behind the
scenes
hell bent on global conquest it would be
nothing short of a herculean task to
adapt but that doesn't mean
it doesn't deserve it number 8 dead dead
demons
dddd destruction
why go with this title and not inio
asano's other masterwork good night
poonpin
for lack of a better team punpun is just
too good as a manga it's as close to
flawless as you can get
not to mention its subject matter are so
bleak that we doubt a studio would go
for it
his more recent venture on the other
hand has just the right amounts of
adaptable asano craziness
tokyo has been invaded by aliens there's
war and mayhem
everywhere and yet life continues for
two school friends
as they head towards adulthood it's
chock full of asano's socio-political
commentary
dark and poignant to a tea yet highly
enjoyable
all the same number 7. yottaba
a slice of life that's so charming
you'll be left yearning for those
blissful days of
ignorant fun back when you were 5 years
old eternally optimistic
and eager for adventure yotzuba's
everyday discoveries and blossoming
friendships
are bound to put a smile on your face
with her lack of understanding often
being
the gateway to all manner of quickfire
gags
for those of you suffering major
withdrawals due to a lack of as a manga
dao
you'd best hope this successor gets
picked up soon
number six siren a common thread you'll
find among
many of these entries is that while
their premise may be basic
it's the ways in which they excel in
their chosen genre that allows them to
rise above the rest
going from a typical high school rogue
happy to do anything for money
all the way to suddenly inhabiting an
isakai world in search of a missing
classmate
ageha's journey throughout the life or
death games of siren
has all the shonen goodness you could
want but handles it with enough finesse
to leave you craving more
seriously the way this thing handles its
battles and budding romance
should make it the subject of envy
number 5.
vagabond standing right alongside the
likes of other monumental mangas such as
berserk
kingdom and finland saga this fictional
retelling of the life and struggles of
the sword saint musashi miyamoto
is truly a diamond in the medium again
we'd normally hesitate to see something
as
immortalized as this be adapted after
all
we've seen what happened to guts and yet
after the awesomeness that was vinland
saga's adaptation
we can't help but wonder if the source
material could be done justice
you know what screw it just give all of
these to mupper and let them work their
magic
number four comey can't communicate
beautiful
silent and by far the most popular girl
in school comey's basically a goddess
among her peers
there's just one problem comey is
actually an extremely anxious girl who
just wants to make some friends
but has a terrible time communicating
her feelings to others
enter the painfully mediocre who
actually sees through the veil of gossip
surrounding comey
and promises to help her achieve her
dream of making
a hundred friends there's a reason why
this series has caught fire
with its top tier comedy and heartfelt
interactions
even comey's daily antics become
endlessly endearing
number three record of ragnarok the gods
have decided humanity is a plague
and needs to be wiped out for good at
least until brunhilda and her fellow
valkyries interfere
arguing that mankind deserves to fight
for their survival
you know what that means tournament arc
pitting the deities of every religion
against the greatest heroes and villains
in human history
the fight scenes in this series as well
as the interwoven backstories of each
combatant
are immense in their magnitude just when
you get over the monumental sight of
adam trading blows with zeus
along comes jack the ripper to take on
the might of hercules
it truly is the best kind of culture
clash number two
delicious in dungeon
[Music]
no matter what your skill level class or
race all adventurers get hungry
especially when they spend all day
traversing deeper into dungeons
so what happens when they run out of
produce and are left to fend for
themselves without a bite to eat
simple you just start to cook the
monsters as hilarious as it is unique
watching laos in his merry band of
misfits venture further into the dungeon
to save his sister from the belly of a
red dragon never stops being an
endearing parade of culinary hijinks
especially when you stop asking how are
they gonna kill this creature
and start wondering how are they gonna
turn it into something tasty
[Music]
before we reveal our number one pick
here are a few honorable mentions
garudan from the creator of bucky only
with way more wrestling
plus sized elf okay i'm just putting
this one on here because i love erafuda
a bride story a gorgeous historic drama
that will make you fall in love with its
spirited leads
and rugs lots and lots of rugs
mobile suit crossbone gundam the sequel
to the worst gundam entry
which is actually pretty damn good fire
punch
one of the best manga of the decade but
this next entry by the same
author might suit an anime adaptation
better

chainsaw man
you have to admire the gory purity of
this premise guy gets hired by yakuza to
kill demons
gets betrayed left for dead until his
pet devil fuses with him
and turns him into a living chainsaw
hybrid that can tear through whatever
comes his way
with dreams of a simple life and his
crush there's nothing our boy denji
won't do to achieve it
even if it means hacking his way through
monsters and mad men
with his new body which again is now
made up of
chainsaws and no it never stops being
epic
bring on the carnage
