If you’d love more manga content, I have another channel dedicated to all things manga and anime: youtube.com/@gavinreadsallthemanga
just started walking - stands behind a massive manga collection - GAVIN'S MANGA ERA IS GOING TO BE A MOMENT FOR SURE :)
O ma gah, boogie, you’re here :)
Gavin it’s lowkey insane how your manga collection has grown in a year 😭🤣
I know haha I’m hanging my head in SHAME (but also very happy on the inside)
@@GavinReadsItAll I’m the same way. Once you love it the madness takes over haha, it’s so easy with manga too 😭
For Jujutsu Kaisen 0, it’s actually a prequel volume to the main story that was the first thing the author wrote in that universe. A lot of the characters got integrated into the main story proper, so it’s canon to the events. I would suggest reading it around volume 8
You're halfway through owning a second home library, this time for mangas (and manhwas in the future hopefully) ;)
Haha I am, I may need a whole dedicated room to manga only soon 😂
While I love seeing manga becoming more known through booktube, I do fear many treat it in an unbalanced way with priority over collecting than enjoying, so I love seeing you prioritize what you’ve read and should get to.
This
Sweat and Soap is 11 volumes and ends up being SUCH a heartwarming romance. I love that the story focuses on how their relationship progresses rather than just focusing on how they get together
I love Sweat and Soap on vol 5, need to carry on with it
i loved sweat and soap.
"Our dreams at dusk" is only 4 volumes and it's a chef's kiss. It follows a cast of LGBTQA+ characters.
"Wotakoi: Love is hard for Otaku" is so much fun and one of the few that feature a full adult cast of office workers.
"Bungo Stray Dogs" is a must for any bookworm. Full of literary Easter eggs. It's so absurdity extra sometimes and I love it.
"Black Butler" is a classic at this point 😅 worth checking the 1st volume.
"Can't stop cursing you" is 4vol total. I started this recently and I loved the first volume. Supernatural/mystery/horror/a little gore..
"A sign of Affection" is one of the most popular shoujos right now, featuring a deaf MC.
Our Dreams at Dusk is sooooo good ❤❤❤
For manga youtubers, I highly recommend Colleen's Manga Recs. Her vids are SO good! There's a variety of content too, usually essays about various aspects of manga, but they also have videos dedicated to specific series, like 7SEEDS, Mars, and Skip Beat etc., where spoilers for certain aspects of those stories are abound haha, as well as her thoughts on them. I especially love their vids because she focuses on shoujo and josei titles. Sadly those demographics tend to be overshadowed by shounen and seinen, especially in the western fanbases, so it's cool to see someone making a point to discuss them in depth.
Oh wow, I remember you starting with reading manga and now you have more than twice as much than I do :0
Prayers to your wallet, so sad that collecting is so expensive!
Haha it's been a very fast journey 🤣 I really need to slow down now
Fruits basket was one of my favorite series when i was younger i kept binging them and restarting and i always skip the 1st volumes, it gets better later on and much deeper writing. Just my opinion that its worth it to keep reading 😊❤
Toni’s Manga and Tsukkinotes do monthly wrap ups and talk about what they read. I enjoy ThatMangaDude’s First Volume Impressions series too.
I hope you next first volume readathon you throw in:
1. Delicious in Dungeon (think Frieren + Food Wars). The final volume is being released in a few months.
2. The Masterful Cat is Depressed Again - Cat manga thats so relatable
3. Otherside Picnic - A sapphic horror
4. She Loves to Cook, She Loves to Eat - sapphic food manga :))
5. Nina the Starry Bride - Fantasy Shoujo
Oh btw Homunculus has on-page SA of a minor in the second omnibus. I immediately dropped after that, so wanted to give a warning if you look out for that. It didn’t even give horror/thriller that was expected, just uncomfortable edgelord type read (IMO).
something i love about watching your manga themed content is that you are so open to so many different genres and stories, as clearly evidenced by your collection 😂 i feel that after so many years i'm so subconsciously prejudiced against certain genres or series. it's just nice to see your genuine excitement for manga, inspires me to be less crochety about my taste lol
edit: idk if anyone else mentioned it but given actually got a sequel set 10 years in the future that just started publishing monthly in japan, i think only 2 or 3 chapters are out now! the author commited CRIMES against uenoyamas hair
I LOVE The Promised Neverland! One of my favorite mangas of all time. I just purchased the box set and it’s absolutely gorgeous. I highly recommend you continue it, it’s amazing!
I unfortunately lost my job. But I’ve been using my local library they have so much. It’s been invaluable to keep up my manga reading and I’ve saved like 500 bucks. I’m definitely going to get the complete set of Fruits Basket though, just to have.
Edit: are you subbed to Boogie Snacks? He’s a manga RUclipsr and he discusses some of the manga in his collection.
I LOVE BOOGIE SNACKS!! He's awesome.
Also I am so sorry to hear you lost your job, I hope everything is okay over there! Libraries are a godsend 🙏🏼
1:34 Battle angel Alita is a favorite of mine! Such a fantastic sci fi story that subverted my expectations. The deluxe editions also look great next to my berserk deluxe
Ascendancy of a Bookworm is amazing. Definitely read the light novels, they are much further along in the story.
With Attack on Titan. I would highly recommend also watching the anime's final 2 specials too and giving your thoughts in the video!
Also some manga that are incredible -
1. Ooku : The Inner Chambers (An epidemic wipes out a lot of male population and now the shogun is a woman. It's a generations spanning masterpiece). It's a shojo too.
2. NANA (a classic within manga)
3. Look Back & Goodbye Eri (both are incredible one volume complete mangas by Tatsuki Fujimoto. I think reading these will definitely help in understanding his long running series Fire Punch and Chainsaw Man)
Thanks for suggesting the final 2 specials for Attack on Titan, I'll do that if I can find it on streaming here in the UK. Also brilliant thank you so much for those recommendations! NANA keeps popping up and I think this is a sign for me to read it
I mean for AoT in general the anime is definitely must watch
Do you think it's better to read the manga before watching the series? Or maybe it doesn't matter.
@@randomname4726 I’d recommend to watching the anime first and then go back and read the manga,the anime will give you the emotions and then reading the manga will make you pay attention to all the foreshadowings haha it’s fun
My favorite manga series is the 4 volume long Our Dreams at Dusk by Yuhki Kamatani. It's pretty their magnum opus in my opinion- the story that they've always wanted to tell. Coming of age of a closeted gay teen in modern Japan who learns about himself as he meets and befriends other people in the community. I love it because it shows the lives of a variety of different people across gender and age and their struggles/joy. While it does talk about what reality is like for queer people in Japan, it is also very hopeful for the future.
I’m in the middle of Witch Hat Atelier series. Loooove it! I will have to hurry up and read the rest before your vlog comes 😄 Can’t wait to hear what you think. I want to make a cosplay of their uniform so badly!
That collection is awesome. I’ve been collecting mangas for six years, and even much, much longer because I started getting them for the first time in 2011 when a friend gave me a Naruto manga. As far as my collection now, I have all of Naruto, all the current volumes of Boruto, all of Fullmetal Alchemist, Dragon Ball, all the current omnibuses of One Piece, a few volumes of Bleach, Burn The Witch, all of Yu Yu Hakusho, all the currently made volumes of Hunter x Hunter, every single Yu-Gi-Oh! volume as well as all the spin-off mangas of it, I’m working on finishing Rurouni Kenshin, I have all the current ones for My Hero Academia, the two volumes of Barrage, all the current volumes of One-Punch Man, all of Dr. Stone, Food Wars, Assassination Classroom, Demon Slayer, The Promised Neverland, some of Jujutsu Kaisen, Slam Dunk, Haikyu, D.Gray-Man, Claymore, Chainsaw Man, Spy x Family, Kaiju No. 8, Shaman King, Toriko, Gintama, Blue Exorcist, Undead Unluck, all of the current volumes of Black Clover, all of Death Note, the first volumes of all the JoJo parts so far, some of Inuyasha and Yashahime, some of Black Lagoon and Sailor Moon, all of Fairy Tail, The Seven Deadly Sins, some of Vagabond as well as all the Colossal Editions of Attack On Titan and all the Deluxe Editions of Berserk. I’m hoping to get a box set for Tokyo Ghoul and Tokyo Ghoul: Re. A good amount of these were hard to get since some weren’t sold where I am, I had to order some series from America like Yu Yu Hakusho, Shaman King, Toriko and Gintama. I like to have all my Shonen Jump mangas together and I personally prefer getting omnibus versions of manga so a lot of the ones I listed are in 3 in 1 omnibus editions. I wish a lot more had omnibuses, but I’m still super happy with my collection and can’t wait to get more. I also have a lot of these as anime DVDs and Blu-Rays and many other like all the Studio Ghibli movies, Code Geass and so much more. I also have a ton of different anime character collectibles from series like Naruto, One Piece, Dragon Ball, Bleach, Yu Yu Hakusho, Hunter x Hunter, My Hero Academia and many others.
I just subscribed, I’ve been looking for more channels that actually discuss what they read😂 For manga channels, I recommend Meet the Weeb Family because they’re hilarious and they discuss what they read and they all have different tastes
This is an insane collection for such a short amount of time, that's incredible! Lots of great stuff and good variety :)
Fruits Basket is one of my all-time favs/super formative for me, and I do think it improves past the first couple vols as more of the character layers are slowly peeled back alongside the larger scope of the story & its themes. But if it's just not for you, that's okay too! If it's the more the art, I would recommend giving the 2019 anime a shot since it has more modern character designs.
If you want some extra shojo/josei recommendations specifically (trying to avoid older OOP titles like Basara or brand new titles that haven't been in print long):
- Burn the House Down (josei, domestic thriller, 8 vols complete but digital-only release - super fun page-turner binge read, could recc to almost anyone)
- Blank Canvas: My So-Called Artist's Journey (josei, semi-autobiographical, 5 vols complete - Bit of a tearjerker and very inspiring)
- Wake Up Sleeping Beauty (shojo, romance-mystery, 6 vols complete - a "short sweet and to the point" shojo with a male POV, easy recc to shojo newcomers)
- Children of the Whales (shojo, adventure/psychological, 23 vols complete - can be a bit dense with its mysteries and world-building, but stunning art and I found it a rewarding read)
- Perfect World (josei, romance, 12 vols complete - an adult relationship with unique challenges, heavier on the drama but still very sweet)
- Last Game (shojo, rom-com, 10 vols complete but releasing in ENG - take something like Kaguya-sama but toned down a bit so it focuses more on the romance buildup than gag comedy)
- Requiem of the Rose King (shojo, drama/historical, 17 vols complete - very dramatic and can be quite tragic at times, but in a theatrical way)
- NANA (shojo, drama/SoL, 21 vols - unfortunately will likely remain unfinished but the fact that its still worth recommending speaks to how good it is)
Outside of those, I feel like you'd enjoy The Case Study of Vanitas a lot since it gives me FMA vibes but with vampires and also if everyone has horny bisexual energy, and/or A Bride's Story (potentially? Depends on if travelogue-style vignette storytelling is too slow-paced or not, but the art is gorgeous)
OH and thank you for another wonderful video!!!
500+ volumes??? 🤯 wow your collection is impressive and absolutely puts mine to shame hahaha that’s amazing 👏
Omg I am so happy that you made a manga collection video
I have just started getting into manga because of you! So I look forward to these videos! Just added so many to my TBR!
I'm not that into Manga (although you have influenced me to branch out into some Manga series) but I will watch whatever video you put out. It just feels like a nice chat with a friend and I love all your videos Gavin. ❤
Love your collection😍! And ill never get tired of hearing u gush over One Piece!
Your manga collection is so asthetically pleasing 😍😍😍
Love how your shelves look! Such a great collection
I’m so happy to see you invested in Manga. Well done 👏🏽
If you want a good fluffy cute bl, I would recommend “our dining table” it’s amazing, I love it so much. Also, I have read the entire scum villain’s self saving system and the grandmaster of demonic cultivation. They’re amazing. (Especially the latter.)
Amazing collection!!
I love how happy you are with your collection! There's so much excitement and appreciation in your voice. You bring joy to so many people so it's always nice to see joy in you.
Looking forward to all your manga review plans!
Gavin, your manga videos have got me back into manga after over 5+ years. The amount of money I have spent the last few months on volumes is insane. Glad I’m not the only one in this boat.
This video inspires me so much just to read more manga! So many cool series I haven't read before that I will definitely add to my list (:
I'M SO ENVIOUS OF YOUR ONE PIECE COLLECTION AAAAAAHH! Lovely shelves, Gavin!!!
Love to see the collection! I’m a long time manga fan, and I’ve really enjoyed watching your journey down the manga rabbit hole. And you keep introducing me to newer titles I haven’t had a chance to try yet!
As for booktubers who talk about manga, I’m obviously super biased, but my husband has a channel called Traben’s Tomes and he has a number of manga videos. In fact, he’s finishing up a manga tournament at the moment that was inspired by your videos. And he’s also a super One Piece fan!
One Piece is my fave! I have a decent collection of figures etc and even a tattoo :) I think you would like Sakamoto Days, it's so good and funny! (I also recommend Kaiju No.8). Also, you should try the Fruits Basket 2019 anime, its so good
52:32 Super Eyepatch Wolf! Love his videos too and that's why I bought vol 1 of The Horizon and loved it! Really love all your manga videos as it inspires me to also keep going on my likewise very early manga journey! :)
Tsukki Notes does monthly reading logs about manga (and sometimes books too). She’s one of the mangatubers who really discuss her thoughts on the manga she’s reading.
YESSS OMG she's personally my fav mangatuber!! :D
womderful collection!! witch hat atelier & monster are two of my all-time faves, they're SOOO good, hopefully you read them soon!
i haven't read that much gl manga (more gl manhwa & manhua) so the only ones i can recommend rn are:
- the guy she was interested in wasn't a guy at all
- she loves to cook, she loves to eat
- monthly in the garden with my landlord
I love these types of videos because it gives recommendations and displays that there are other manga readers out there. My favorite series is Fruits Basket and have enjoyed Spy X Family, Witch Hat Atelier, Attack on Titan, Fairy Tail, Negima! Magister Negi Magi, and a lot more. Happy reading!
Proftaku is a channel I love that he does monthly reading logs of manga he reads for the month. I definitely understand I wish more people talked about what they read lol. Looking forward to a bookworm reading vlog ❤❤
Erm, you have so many mangas oml i could never 😍😍
I think we started reading manga about the same time and your collection has really grown.
oh i am SOOOOO excited for the day when you get to binge read bleach!! looking forward to it so so much, its my all time favourite and i cannot wait to hear all about your thoughts!!
Omg finally someone’s reading Ascendence of a bookworm!!! I love that series!!!! I just want to collect them all!!!
Great collection
This is a wonderful shelf display Gavin. ^_^
well .. originally i wanted to read .. saw a new Gav Video! immediate click!! looove - and coincedently i was looking for a manga collection video today. PerfecT! 👌😎💛
Fruits Basket is one of my favorites! Happy Belated Birthday!!🎈
I really loved this video, these kinds of miscellaneous chatty vids you do are some of my favourites, and your collection is super beautiful 💌
I finished slam dunk for the first time a few months ago and I had a really similar opinion of the first few volumes. For me like 1-5 are kind of weak and not really substantive, but as soon as the story moves into the actual basketball games it reeaaallly picks up and you can see the skill of Takehiko Inoue's writing, his pacing and visual storytelling are next level. By the time I was at volumes 20-31, I can honestly say that it was one of the best manga reading experiences I've ever had. I know you've got plenty of other things to read, but I really would recommend giving it a bit more of a go!
I’m so excited to read the rest of Slam Dunk read the first 2 volumes didn’t blow me away, but I read the first 3 volumes of REAL another manga by the same author and my god do I love it, and also got first 2 volumes of Vagabond and love that too. Takehiko Inoue is a master
@@BDSomewhat He really reaaaalllly is. I remember reading through that first handful of volumes thinking that I must be missing something, like I'm just don't get slam dunk in the way that everyone else does, but the difference in the way that story ends vs where it begins is so major. By the end, you can really feel the confidence that Innoue develops as a storyteller, without feeling the need to cater to his audience. But bro, I'm so excited for you, you're gonna have the best time.
@@ohokneat dang thank you bro! The jump sounds so good to hear because I thought it was just a corny manga that people liked because of nostalgia, REAL really changes that for me. It was great, the art was amazing, the second manga that made me cry (before One Piece of course) it’s just amazing I really need to read all his works for sure
I would definitely recommend the Sailor Moon Eternal Editions. Larger size, some color panels, more true to Naoko's vision. As well as French flaps.
I absolutely love your collection! There are so many fantastic series, and it is really fun seeing your passion for the medium. Also I'm always happy to see another fan of Cherry Magic!! I'm also obsessed.
For some phenomenal fantasy series, j can't recommend Dungeon Meshi and Land of the Lustrous enough! Both are complete (Dungeon Meshi having 14 volumes and Land of the Lustrous having 13), and the writing & worldbuilding in both are top notch. Both start out more episodic and slowly build into a much more grand story. Dungeon Meshi especially has a major turning point around the end of vol 4 and continues to get better and better the longer that it progresses.
I'd also recommend checking out Golden Kamuy! It is absolutely wild and such a joy to read.
You have several that I would like to read. I really like Black Butler and The Girl from the Other Side.
Oooo I'll try and check out Black Butler
@@GavinReadsItAll It is one of my favorites! It is what got me into reading manga.
I adored ‘Mermaid Scales and the Town of Sand’ so much! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did when you get around to it.
As for sapphic manga recommendations, I’ve been loving ‘The Moon on a Rainy Night’ so far! It’s a budding romance between a Hard of Hearing girl and her classmate
I'm a pretty new subscriber and i just want to say I'm so excited for your manga journey and my Gavin Reads It All journey 😌
Thank you for being here, I appreciate you!
Great collection! One Piece and Ascendance of a bookworm are some of my favorites too. It’s easy to find One Piece manga RUclipsrs, but hard to find others who review more like you and BoogieSnacks. I mainly go to Reddit to read people’s Ascendance of a bookworm reactions, but sometimes I check out videos from The Chattering Magpi. A shojo series I recommend is the 7th time Loop light novel/manga/anime. It’s still ongoing, but so far I’ve been enjoying it. Another shojo series that I enjoyed was Ouran High School Host Club, however I’ve only seen the anime and haven’t read the manga. Anime was hilarious though. Please continue with the awesome manga reviews 😊
Ooo I'll check out The Chattering Magpi, and thanks for the shojo recommendations I haven't heard of 7th Time Loop!
Love how excited and passionate you are about your manga collection! It's so refreshing somehow and made me want to rekindle my manga love (I'm interested in Yona of the Dawn the The Haunted Bookstore now!) also LOVE seeing Naruto on here, seriously if you love shonen and BL you're gonna love Naruto so much, it's my favorite fictional love story of all time :') (not quite as explicit as yaoi stuff, but it's very real anyway). Also I don't know if you know but there's a Japanese drama adaptation of Cherry Magic and it's so good!! I haven't read the manga though but the actors are really well casted. Can't wait to see more manga content from you! (especially Naruto and danmei novels!! Heaven Official's Blessing is fabulous). Thanks for the vid 😊
I beg you read the classic horror series flowers in the attic for a video. It’s so bizarre and twisted. I read it when I was about 9 because it was in the school library and had a weird cover, couldn’t finish it. Not because it was scary but because it was weird and gross. There’s a whole series, movies and lots to talk about controversy as well. I think it would be a great video
You’re the first youtuber that reads manga that has almost the same taste as me it’s like 95% similar. It’s actually really comforting and validating(although it’s not a need) but it’s a nice feeling 🤭
I highly highly recommend banana fish. 🔥
I love the Titan's bride. Yes it’s a little weird because of the size difference and everything is strange but the main couple is just so adorable. your one piece collection is 😍
Highly highly recommend checking out the Snow White with the red hair anime it’s so beautifully made and really helps with following along with the plot, both the English and Japanese dubs are fantastic
I absolutly love Witch Hat Atelier, one of my favourite manga series. I can't wait to hear what you think about it when you read all of it. Assassination Classroom is really worth a read, I didn't know if I would like it based on my reading tastes, but I found it hilerious. Some recomandations since you said you would like to read more Slice og life manga: Hakumei & Mikochi is really cute and has very nice and detailed art. Touring after the Apocalypse is another one that I've really enjoyed.
Woow this is a seriously impressive manga collection Gavin! At this rate you could seriously open up a manga reading cafe in your city 😆💛💛
YESSS!! A million times yes!🙌
Why do I prefer Manga over Graphic Novels?
i love how berserk is just wedged in there between all those bl manga
obnoxious hero-kun is ADORABLE and soo funny. i read it on webtoon and live it, the author has other similiarly funny works, i really recommend them. a bit cringe but they are highschoolers so what do we expect?
zom 100 is sooo good. i love zombies as well and the manga having both an anime and a movie adaptation i was well-fed for a while lol
Oh my god you have fantastic boys' love unread still, can't wait to see your thoughts on them when you get to them eventually!
Ranmaru Zariya is fantastic, if you end up liking Coyote and Birds of Shangri-La she also has a single volume BL called Liquor and Cigarettes.
MADK (I pronounced it Mad-Kay, though that is not definitive just what I do haha!) is definitely something. It's really graphic and intense, but the story and worldbuilding and characters are incredible and the character designs and drawings are some of the most beautiful I've ever seen in a manga, it's a very unique series. Not for everyone though!
I was wondering how I heard of Blue Flag because when I saw them in my library I recognised the series so I’m going to say it was you because otherwise I’m at a loss haha. So thank you! I read them all recently and I loved them. Now I need my own copies of them. Also thank you for getting me in to Given as well.
I have a friend of mine the first Dick Fight Island as I somehow ended up with two copies and he was very happy with it 😂
I love reading manga but it just takes up so much space I have switched over to being 100% digital now. What an epic collection!
I FEEL SO VALIDATED THAT YOU OWN TITAN'S BRIDE! That shit is 🔥 you will NOT be disappointed.
Akira, Gangsta and Soul Eater are all ones I've really loved that you didn't mention. I'm almost half way through Fairy Tail and love that one too. Dandadan is crazy weird but I love it. Kaiju No. 8 is also very good. Most of my favorites are your favorites too. Berserk, Spy Family, Witch Hat and One Piece. Honestly I think you might have been the reason I started reading manga.
I really enjoy merphy napier manga reviews!
The Apothecary Diaries is actually also adapted from a light novel as well! So if you enjoyed the story from the manga you should check put the light novel!
For Jujutsu Kaisen, you want to read volume 0 after chapter 79. For the anime, it's season 1, the movie, and then season 2. Same for the manga. Volume 0 is pretty much the movie, so that's why you'd read it after 79, as that is when the first season for the anime would end. Hope that helps!
Well, I don't have near as many manga volumes as you, Gavin, but you and I have some good ones!! I can't wait for you to read Bleach for the first time, and to continue with all 18 volumes of Fullmetal. I need to read Witch Hat before your video goes up. But, I'm also jealous because you've read over 50% of what you collected... I sadly have not 😂
Happy reading!
Some mangatuber recs (I think with manga content, haul videos are way more popular then review/reccomendations videos, so they get pushed more. Plus, a lot of haul videos I see, people will semi-review them as they are talking about it (if they have read it.)
Tsukki notes does monthly media logs/other videos.
That Manga Dude does regular first volume review videos and media logs.
Toni's Manga also does reading vlogs.
Caketinz does PRIMARILY hauls (like loads) but you can find videos on her channel that specifically review books.
So I see we’re using the term beginner loosely 👀
Everything about me is loose 👀
That was my thought exactly 😍🤭😂
wow! I WISH! great collection Gavin, I'm just a little bit envious... >.
DANMEI??! 🤩🤩🤩 I'M SO HAPPY!!!!!
Since you’re going to Iceland, You definitely need to read “go with the winds north by northwest” it’s a mystery manga with special abilities. I love it!!! Such a refreshing story takes place in Iceland.
Nice!
I haven't bought new manga in a long time up until today when I ordered a box set of My Hero Academia having binged watched the anime. I don't know where I am going to squeeze in all these extra books! If you want more BL manga then I highlyrecommend any of the books by Ogeretsu Tanaka, the love stories are so compelling and the art style is beautiful. Some of their books I haven't been able to get in English, the French seem to really love them though so a few of my copies are French instead of English!
You should do a recommendation video with all your favourite mana's
I really like watching your journey into the manga world and I wish that you would give a second chance to Slam Dunk and to Takehiko Inoue in general.
Slam Dunk is one of the best sport manga ever and the author finds his voice a few volums in, but you won't regrete giving it a second chance.
Takehiko Inoue is one of the best artist and story tellers within the manga world.
Slam Dunk, Vabond and Real are worth your time!
If you are looking for manga content creators, I can absolutely recommend 'mangecaptor'. I love their videos. Always so relaxing to watch and I often find things I want to read. But their videos are typically spoiler free.
'My Brother's Husband' is great😍I hope you pick it up soon. Maybe for pride month?
I love 'Fruits Basket', and I do think that it gets better over time, but if you did not enjoy volume 1 too much, I don't think you necessary would like the rest more (no guarantees, if you do continue, I hope you will come to love it :))
And The Promised Neverland is an amazing story. I would recommend you don't binge read it (at least for me, it made me want a break halfway through), but read it a little bit slower.
I'm really excited for the Fullmetal Alchemist spoiler video😄 I finished the series a couple months ago, so maybe I will remember enough to follow the video
Such a great collection 😍 i need to carry on with berserk. Loving what I have read so far.
Sweat and soap were cute.
Bleach is my nostalgic manga waiting for each volume to come out. It was so exciting 😂
Obviously, one piece is incredible.
Currently obsessed with spy x family, just love it.
Dandadan 😂 after i finished the first volume had me shook i was like wtf did i just read 😂
You are SLEEPING on the Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days Manga!!!! It is soooo good! Absolutely hilarious but also so very very heartbreaking. One of my favorite mangas of all time!!!
Fruits Basket is my favorite manga series, so a little bummed you might not experience it, but it isn't for everyone!
This is why I avoid most manga cos you end up in the middle of like 20 series for 5+ years while volumes slowly come out 🤣 but you are very dedicated to the collections so amazing ❤ I hope you do get the rest of Death Note and do a reading vlog for the series. If you like Food Wars, you might like Dungeon Meshi but I don't wanna add to your already massive list 🤣 I also found Kimetsu very generic so I stopped at the end of s1 of the anime. Fruits Basket I also found meh. But Cherry Magic!! If you can watch the jdrama followed by the Jmovie, I strongly recommend!! I think you should do a bl vlog like you mentioned too. I'd love to hear what your Most Want to Read manga series are now. Cannot wait for you AoT vlog, I definitely wanna hear your adventure with it.
Love your collection 💖 My fav manga is Spyx family💗
The envy is so real, good envy though, it makes so happy seeing someone fall so deep in love with this medium, but it is a little hurting having been in this thing 2008 more or less and only having like ten manga volumes, (that's only because I only resently have started gaining money of own) (and if I have started in the 2000 the editions would me terrible)
I have one Manga on my shelf (Another by Yukito Ayatsuji) and I'd love to get more, but they just take up so much space. Love your collection.
I feel as though the way you buy full series w/o having read most of what you have will lead to extensive selling. the speed at which you accumulate volumes will eat up money, shelf space, and quite honestly dilute your attachment to each volume in your library. I Usually only keep and collect series that i will want to have in my life forever. Although you are new to manga collecting i'd advise you to stop buying new volumes for a while (especially the smut lol) and read what ya got.
Caketinz does wrap ups sometimes where she talks spoilers about the manga that she's read. Worth checking out.
Really love the video and the whole collection!! I can't wait to see your thoughts on most of those. 🤗🧡
Also, just want to give my two cents on My Hero Academia: while i agree that it starts very cliché-ish and the whole super hero thematic is too saturated right now, that's not all there is to it. mha has a lot of soul and it's written in a way that tries to break all those cliche themes it presents in the beginning in order to create something new and fresh, the characters are also really well written (even the supporting cast!) and contribute to the overall story at least a bit and the art is gorgeous. mha also goes really in deep on themes like society, morality, minorities and abuse, and does it in a very real, respectiful and heartfelt way, i think this is where the manga shines the most tbh.
oh, and a fun fact: last year mha was officially recognised in a japanese article as a manga that resonates with a lot of lgbt people around the world because of it's themes and that this is one of the reasons it is really popular and loved overseas.
As someone that also has one piece as my favorite manga of all time, i can confidently say that mha is a close second in my heart and is really well written, so i hope you can give it a chance again, because you might end up really liking it more than you imagine, i truly think so!
I think you just convinced me to continue MHA haha thank you for that 🙏
@@GavinReadsItAll I'm glad i could offer a new perspective on it for you!!! i hope you like it when you read it!
I really like these Manga and or Anime: Fullmetal Alchemist, Kamisama Kiss, Noragami, Vampire Knight, Fairytail, Fruits Basket, Maidsama, Soul Eater, No Game No Life, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, Black Bird, Black Butler, xxxHolic, Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles, Tsubasa: Those with Wings, D.N.Angel, Gosick, Angel Beats! Heavens Door, Hetalia and I sure I'm forgetting some others.
Great collection, I started reading manga again about 2 years ago.
I've gotten so invested in some of your collection, Jujutsu Kaisen, Assisination Classroom and The Summer Hikaru Died are this years favourites! (I hate waiting for the Hiraku one). I will say Goodnight PunPun made me uncomfortable. The first manga I stopped instantly and threw away and not donate. It made me feel wrong just owning it, theres a page of a little girl with an adults naked body (Punpun is a kid was fantasing about a kid his age but it's fu..ing weird for me own that)
I'm wondering if I want to pick up One Piece because everyone I know who has read it goes crazy for it lol! No shame, I think it's great people love it.
Madoka Magica is a brilliant but devastating sapphic manga
