Here's the list. #7- Tropic of the Sea - Satoshi Kon #6- GYO - Jujin Ito #5- A Drifting Life- Yoshiro Tatsumi #4- Solanin - Inio Asano #3- All You Need Is Kill - Ryosuke Takeuchi #2- gods lie - Kaori Ozaki #1- Ichi-F - Kazuto Tatsuta
My favorite 1-book completed manga are *The Gods Lie.,* *Uzumaki* and *All You Need Is Kill.* The most useful though is *A Life-Changing Manga of Tidying Up.* (nobody seems to buy it, but it seriously can be life-changing for certain people) I also enjoyed other *Juji Ito* works and some *Inio Asano* works, but the ones above were the most fun to read for me :] A manga related novel that is only one book I absolutely adore is *Death Note: Another Note: The Los Angeles BB Murder Cases.* Really fleshes out a few characters from Death Note that were already complicated.
I have A Life-Changing Manga of Tidying Up and helps me a lot ^_^ I agree will all choices but you should add some of Taniguchi and also Hideout from Masasumi Kakizaki. And I will make a one-shot manga video like this one but sorry in portuguese my mother language ^_^
Did you ever read the garden of words? That's a pretty good single volume. Also pretty recently that single volume called I hear the sunspot was good too.
You should check out In this corner of the World. It's a 2 in 1 volume, slice of life/coming of age set in WW2 japan. It recently got an anime film. Highly underrated and just a great story. Yoshihiro tatsumi's goodbye, pushman, abandon the old tokyo, these are all a collection of short stories in three different volumes. They're all slice of life, but not the kind of happy go lucky slice of life, the real world dark kind of slice of life. Stargazing dog is good too. If you love dogs and would like a heartbreaking story about a dog and his owner(s) definitely check it out. Gogo monster by taiyo matsumoto is another hidden gem. Its got a beautiful hardcver by viz and another slice of life, school life coming of age story. Its about this boy who everyone thinks is wierd and another boy who has just transferred to his class. Can't really say anything else. All 6 of these books are pretty cheap but if you had to go with one i'd say stargazing dog cuz it may go OOP soon.
Here are some random ones: 1.Phoenix v. 2, including some other volumes as they are usually all self contained, 2. Gogomonster, 3. Odoru! Kremlin Kyuuden, 4.Kono Yo no Owari e no Tabi, 5.Helter Skelter, Pink or Rivers Edge (by the same author), 6.Toukou Tochuu no Deaigashira no Guuzen Kiss wa Ariuru? Jikken, 7. Undercurrent, 8.Panorama of Hell. I wouldn't say that all of the above is good, but it might be interesting to check out.
Absolutely flawless synopsis. I added many of your gems for sure . A Drifting Life title is now $60-90 on Amazon it’s quite thick so with the post lock down market explosion in demand the price hikes are irritating but such is life . The nuclear title I can’t wait to read please watch HBOs Chernobyl series it’s unforgettable and completely brilliant.
Good list, I was looking up for all-in-one manga. I highly recommend that you check Phoenix Vol.2: Future by Osamu Tezuka, even tho it's the second volume from the Phoenix series but each volume can be read separately, there is no connection. It's one of the best manga volumes of all time, I've read it countless times and never got bored reading it.
I personally pronounce Gyo as Guy O since it's what i always thought it was called and it was absolutely brilliant may i add. I've heard alot about A Drifting Life but not got around to purchasing it yet. I love Inio Asano's work am currently reading through Goodnight PunPun and i can't wait to finish it. All you need is kill is awesome it's the first all in one i've owned then it was Gyo. The amount of times I've looked at the God life and just haven't got it really makes me kick myself after this video am going to have to get it.
I couldn't enjoy Solanin. The pacing in the beginning was kind of slow(though I think that was intentional), also I couldn't get passed how some of the backgrounds look like they were photoshopped together with low-res black and white photos. It just felt cheesy. The story was okay though
Hejsan! Just started getting into manga/anime...the other way around so to speak: food->Learning japanese->anime/manga and I started with Attack on Titan and was so impressed with the first episode. Now I must get Gyo, love the one-volume-thing and it seems like a nice intro to horror manga.
Gyo is like the worst junji ito manga ive read. The main creepyness of ito's work comes from the unexplainable and unescapable shape the stories take, gyo explains the source of the horror so early it just ruins the entire story and the explanation just comes down to the typical science failture. The horror also is just the main character escaping from walking ocean creatures, theres no surprises or character evolution. I really tried to love it but after finishing it i cant help but regret buying it.
As someone who loves one-shots and omnibuses (and Junji Ito) this was a treat. I would also recommend the series Hollow Fields, about a girl accidentilly entering an academy for evil. As well as the adaptation for Wolf Children. And not manga but Scott Pilgrim creator Brian Lee O'mallys Seconds. Also i gotta say i dont get the appeal of Solanin, i read over half of it and i felt like nothing was happening. Not even in the tradition slice of life critisism way, like no one was growing or developing, there was no real emotion positive or negative. Hell when that accident happens i was excited to see some emoting, and they seemingly just skip over it. Maybe i just gotta drive through it and something will happen later but it doesnt seem like it
I would recommend some 1 volume osamu tezuka titles like: the book of human insects, mw, and ayako(ayako my fav out of the 3). also titles like tekkon kinkreet, gogo monster, utsubora and 5 centimetres per second. love your content keep up bro
My favorite is Jaco the Galactic Patrolman. It's a single volume, and it's connected to the Dragon Ball universe, but it's definitely its own thing. Fantastic story.
Fantastic video man this was a great idea for a manga list. I’m gonna have to check out the gods lie, I’ve seen it around a ton so I’m extra curious now. All you need is kill and Solanin are dope series that I enjoyed as well. Def need to do a reread of both sometime.
Those were some nice recommendations even those some of them are actually 2 in 1 volumes but no big deal. All you need is kill is great and the gods like too even though i expected a bit more (it was very short). I also need to read solanin i mean Inio Asano is a genious with his works, goodnight punpun is a puece of art. Some 1 volume manga i recommend: - Hideout by the author of green blood - watashitachi no shiawase na jikan (i dont know if theres a physical copy) - hikari no machi from Inio Asano
Portland Trail Blazers are easily my favorite! But if they are not playing, usually I'll watch some Knick games, or whichever team LeBron is playing on, haha.
Good video with recommendations to nice works of art. Personally I read and interpreted Gyo as a satire on the hollywood horror movies like Jaws and such.
My favorite single volume is probably volume 2 (FUTURE) of Phoenix. I know its technically part of a series but all the volumes are really self contained stories.
If I had to pick 7 single volume series (including omnibuses) that I have in my collection (that I've also read), I'd have to go with these, in no particular order: Azumanga Daioh omnibus (great 4koma comedy series, the anime adaptation is also excellent and well worth checking out, I'd consider the dub to be a personal favorite of mine) Super Mario Adventures (more of a biased reason since it was my first manga and I used to own it when I was a kid before it got a rerelease last year, but it's light hearted enough that anyone, gamer or not, can enjoy) All You Need Is Kill (big fan of Takeshi Obata, and I definitely agree it could have been longer or extended) Black Rock-chan (one of the first Japanese volumes I imported but I feel as if it would only appeal to fans of Black Rock Shooter since this is a spin off of the anime) Junji Ito's Cat Dairy (I've read a handful of his works and while Hellstar Remina is my favorite, I think Cat Diary is his tamest work to date, and as a car owner myself I think it did a good job conveying what it's like to have one or more cats as pets) Saitama Chainsaw Shoujo (I want to say the premise itself or the fact that it's so absurd is why it's my 4th favorite manga, really hoping somebody decides to license it over here) Hallow Fields (one of the manga I bought back when I was still starting up my collection, didn't know it was an OEL (original English language) manga at first but it was still enjoyable. Eagerly waiting on the recently announced full color volumes to come out)
All my 1 volume, all in one, omnibus manga: *Time Killers* - by Kazue Kato (made Blue Exorcist), published by Viz media. Collection of short stories. 5 stories each 30-50 pages and few 3-5 page stories. Manga it self is with magazine paper or how You call it, it's not a simple manga paper, and it have Pilot story for Blue Exorcist. This was my first manga that i bought. *I really recomend it.* *The Innocent* - Dead Detective goes to help some people and to uncover truth why he died with a help of an angel, or something like that. I have only read 1 chapter, so i can't say is it good, but as far it looks nice. *Maybe look it up, maybe You will like it.* Publisked by Yen press. And one of the creators is founder of Marvel Studios. *the gods lie.* - as i said in few other video comments. I liked it but it wasn't that great for me as for others, it was just good for me. *All You Need is Kill* - I haven't read it yet, but i read a novel, i liked the novel ;D *Darker than Black* - i haven't read it yet. But art doesn't look nice and looks like story won't be interesting. Anime was cool tho. *Another* - 4in1 - i haven't read it yet. But i wish that it would be released in single volumes rather than 4in1, because single volume covers are nice. *Kindred Spirits on the Roof* - yuri. nice, nothing sexual. but kind a boring. *S.S. ASTRO: Asashio Sogo Teachers' ROom* - 4-koma comedy manga about teachers. eh, not that funny. *Sorako* - simple slice of life, nothing great, but nothing bad. *Anomal* - short stories about yokai. really boring. Both called as indie manga. Published by Gen Manga. I'm interested in Solanin, Tropic of the Sea, Ichi-F, i will buy them some day.
Do a top 10 manga under 5 volumes
Yes please, my poor ass could need that 😂
@@iloveusomuchitsnotevenfunn8438 lmao same

My favorite 1-book completed manga are *The Gods Lie.,* *Uzumaki* and *All You Need Is Kill.*
The most useful though is *A Life-Changing Manga of Tidying Up.* (nobody seems to buy it, but it seriously can be life-changing for certain people)

+Niji TV Portugal mesmo? Ou brazil?
Portugal mesmo... comecei agora a fazer também uns videos com as minhas leituras. É passar por lá e subscrever o canal ^_^
Hahahaha já subscrevi boa sorte com os vídeos futuros! ^^
Then reply to some videos and subscribe for winning a Hana Kogure cd ^_^
Did you ever read the garden of words? That's a pretty good single volume. Also pretty recently that single volume called I hear the sunspot was good too.
I found that My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness was good
Agreed.
if you enjoyed gyo you must read uzumaki! junji ito is an amazing mangaka and i think uzumaki is even better than gyo
You should check out In this corner of the World. It's a 2 in 1 volume, slice of life/coming of age set in WW2 japan. It recently got an anime film. Highly underrated and just a great story.

UZUMAKI is better then GYO imo
BERSERK!!!

Good list but to be honest I wouldn’t put the deluxe edition of gyo in this category since it is a 2 in 1
The problem i personally have with one shots is that they are to short to really stay in mind and have an impact on me
Uzumaki
@@turtleanton6539 Uzumaki is so good
4:49 NO it's not about a fish demon creature...you may have misunderstood the manga :/
Your blazers beat up my suns last night:(
Oh yeah, that was pretty bad, lol. But you got Booker, so its all good :)
Edge of Tomorrow is a goodmovie
u should read 3 days of happiness, if u havent yet
Maybe for your next video you can do your favourite mangas which are short (Up to 5 volumes in the series maybe)
Thanks for the recommendation, they all seem really interesting, I did read All you need is kill which was fantastic .
All you need is kill is my first manga
Great list
Dude you should try omoide emanon
This was really useful :) thanks! I’ll probably make my way through them all!
u forgot to put hunter x hunter and death note there
Do anyone here have any idea if viz is planning to make a box set 3 for Bleach?
RespaWin 2 Years from now.
It’s gu-yo. Gyo
Love picking up short and single-volume series. If you haven't checked out Utsubora yet, I would highly recommend it. Nice list! :)
I just finished Gyo, it's worth the hype
Gyo id my Junji Ito manga favorite. A must read!!!!
@@ClubOtaku Yeh it's a good manga
great list. i highly recommend heureka. its a goat oneshot
single volumes look better in the collection than the all in one book
Wow very interesting
I personally pronounce Gyo as Guy O since it's what i always thought it was called and it was absolutely brilliant may i add.
I've heard alot about A Drifting Life but not got around to purchasing it yet.
I love Inio Asano's work am currently reading through Goodnight PunPun and i can't wait to finish it.
All you need is kill is awesome it's the first all in one i've owned then it was Gyo.
The amount of times I've looked at the God life and just haven't got it really makes me kick myself after this video am going to have to get it.
Please do an update version of this in the near future
Thanks
I couldn't enjoy Solanin. The pacing in the beginning was kind of slow(though I think that was intentional), also I couldn't get passed how some of the backgrounds look like they were photoshopped together with low-res black and white photos. It just felt cheesy. The story was okay though

Sharm Sy Right stuf anime have it on special for black friday

Im surprised GoGo Monster wasn’t on this list. If you haven’t read it yet you should check it out.

Have you read Utsubora - The story of a novelist? Should definitely check it out if not. Would love to see you do a review on it.
Hey insidious swede who is your favourite Basketball team? just wondering.
Portland Trail Blazers are easily my favorite!
But if they are not playing, usually I'll watch some Knick games, or whichever team LeBron is playing on, haha.
Nice team
My favourite 1-book is Dark Hideout, really good splatter/horror manga.
Have you tried Downfall? Is it good?
I think a top 10 manga within 13 volumes would be an interesting list as 13 volumes isn't a huge commitment
Can you do some top new manga list
Thanks for the video! I'm always looking for shorter manga series that don't break the bank!
Good video with recommendations to nice works of art.
Personally I read and interpreted Gyo as a satire on the hollywood horror movies like Jaws and such.
My favorite single volume is probably volume 2 (FUTURE) of Phoenix. I know its technically part of a series but all the volumes are really self contained stories.
Well I find that they work best as a whole. My fav is Karma
Love your video's, been watching for a while and loving the content.
Also just trying to get into yt and was wondering if you have some tips.
You read tokyo ghoul: re volume 1 yet? What you think? Planning on doing a first impression on it?
I actually haven't received my copy yet, so I have no idea when I'll review it.
Video starts at 2:00
Do top 10 manga 5 or 10 vols or less
have you ever head of hideout swede?
GYO is pronounced as it looks so say it as gyo. I really need like a mic for this XD
The way he pronounces it is like (giyo), however the correct pronunciation is without the i.
Do Part 2, Mate
Great List! i am looking to expand my small manga collection of 50 volumes. i am gonna try out all these. make more videos like this please :)
Now I want to read my Gyo...
Anime Store I haven't started
Death Note one shot 2020 is the best of all Time
hell no
If I had to pick 7 single volume series (including omnibuses) that I have in my collection (that I've also read), I'd have to go with these, in no particular order:
Azumanga Daioh omnibus (great 4koma comedy series, the anime adaptation is also excellent and well worth checking out, I'd consider the dub to be a personal favorite of mine)
Super Mario Adventures (more of a biased reason since it was my first manga and I used to own it when I was a kid before it got a rerelease last year, but it's light hearted enough that anyone, gamer or not, can enjoy)
All You Need Is Kill (big fan of Takeshi Obata, and I definitely agree it could have been longer or extended)
Black Rock-chan (one of the first Japanese volumes I imported but I feel as if it would only appeal to fans of Black Rock Shooter since this is a spin off of the anime)
Junji Ito's Cat Dairy (I've read a handful of his works and while Hellstar Remina is my favorite, I think Cat Diary is his tamest work to date, and as a car owner myself I think it did a good job conveying what it's like to have one or more cats as pets)
Saitama Chainsaw Shoujo (I want to say the premise itself or the fact that it's so absurd is why it's my 4th favorite manga, really hoping somebody decides to license it over here)
Hallow Fields (one of the manga I bought back when I was still starting up my collection, didn't know it was an OEL (original English language) manga at first but it was still enjoyable. Eagerly waiting on the recently announced full color volumes to come out)
Honestly I've never been a fan of all I need is kill it felt 5-10 chapters too short honestly could of used another volume. Ending felt rushed
All my 1 volume, all in one, omnibus manga:
*Time Killers* - by Kazue Kato (made Blue Exorcist), published by Viz media. Collection of short stories. 5 stories each 30-50 pages and few 3-5 page stories.

*Kindred Spirits on the Roof* - yuri. nice, nothing sexual. but kind a boring.
*S.S. ASTRO: Asashio Sogo Teachers' ROom* - 4-koma comedy manga about teachers. eh, not that funny.
*Sorako* - simple slice of life, nothing great, but nothing bad. *Anomal* - short stories about yokai. really boring. Both called as indie manga. Published by Gen Manga.
I'm interested in Solanin, Tropic of the Sea, Ichi-F, i will buy them some day.
I take it this is your top 7 list besides all Tezuka mangas?
