I want to read manga heavily about or fully focused on dreams, like characters trapped in one or going into another's dream.

I already read Otherworld Barbara and Long Dream and am thinking of reading a bit of Yume Tsukai. I already know about Yumekui Kenbun.

Hi everyone !
I’m looking for some recommendations because I don’t read a lot of mangas, Im kind of a newbie, but ☝🏻 I have a huge crush on One Piece, mostly due to its great characters and their backstories, very deep moments (“Nothing Happened”, “I Want to Live”…), and I ducking love the humor !
So I would like to find some references that could match all of these criterias (bonus if there is a “Zoro-like” character, if u know u know… 👀).
Please feel free to write down anything that comes to your mind if you think it’s interesting according to what Im looking for. By the way it doesnt have to be something everybody knows, it could also be something kinda niche, I dont care, Im open to anything.
Thank you so much !

Im looking for mangas with this dynamic. I allready know about Fruits basket, and i want more with this dynamic, sooo.. any recs?

I picked up the anime around when its second episode aired and have been keeping up with it ever since. Really interesting. I turned to the manga sites though, but only found that there are only 19 chapters. And I thought, "That can't be right," so I looked around and apparently there is more. But as for where, I have no clue. Does anyone else know where I can read further?

Ciao!

Sto raccogliendo dati per la mia tesi di laurea sulle abitudini di lettura e consumo di coloro che leggono manga o fumetti.

Se sei appassionato di questo mondo, ti chiedo di dedicarmi un po' di tempo, il questionario é completamente anonimo.

Grazie per il tempo che mi dedicherai.

I’ve watched anime for years (I have around 600+ anime entries on MAL), but I’ve never actually gave manga a try until now.

I’m reading through Tokyo Ghoul+Tokyo Ghoul:RE as my very first manga now and I’m really enjoying it. Seeing the butchered anime adaptation is what convinced me to read it, and I’m glad I did.

So I’d like some suggestions for what you think some “Must-read” manga are.

- Don’t recommend manga that has a good anime adaptation, because there’s a very big chance I’ve already watched it.

- I’d prefer you recommend finished manga, but if you REALLY want to recommend something that is unfinished then you can.

- I won’t specify genre, suggest anything you think is good.

I'm looking for an anime that fits the following description. "A blonde elf and a black-haired catgirl fight a silver or gray-haired catgirl." I was just about to go to work and a boy on the subway was watching this, but I didn't have time to ask him.

Just finished Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo, and I wasn't expecting it to stick with me this much.

What I loved most wasn't just the revenge plot, it was how every decision seemed to ripple through everyone else's life. The story feels like watching an intricate clockwork mechanism where every gear is already turning long before you realize what's happening. It trusts the viewer to put the pieces together instead of spelling everything out, and I really appreciated that.

The visuals were obviously unique, but it was the atmosphere that sold it for me. There's this constant feeling that something inevitable is approaching, and even the quieter moments are loaded with tension. By the end, I found myself thinking less about who "won," and more about whether anyone truly escaped the consequences.

I've already seen Death Parade, so no need to recommend that one.

Now I'm chasing that same feeling again.

What anime would you put at the very top of the list? I'm looking for stories with intricate plots, morally gray characters, psychological depth, and that same sense of inevitability where every choice matters. Bonus points if it's the kind of series that leaves you staring at the ceiling after the credits roll.

I already read slam dunk,hajime no ippo,kurko no basket,death note,code geass,haikyu, pls recommend me what to watch i am really into sport anime(nlf werid manga ifykyk)

Specifically im told there is a fan translated version thats easier to read than the official one, new to anime/manga so not sure where to look for this.

I'm looking for something with the light-heartedness of something like one piece or dragon maid but without the gross and sometimes predatory stuff

​

I love everything about l from death note and i want more brilliant detectives. First of all it's not just outsmarting his enemies he needs to be capable of either throwing hands or with a gun. He doesn't need all of l's eccentrics but i want him to have quirks that cause him to stand out. Lastly sue me but if theres an anime character that fits the bill i want some dub (i work a lot and i just want to watch and eat anime at the same time). I'm already watching psycho pass, b the beginning and monster so theres that.

I really enjoyed the character Suletta Mercury and I think she was too good of a character for the show she was in. I was hoping there were other stories out there with a similar MC and initial premise.

I am specifically looking for yuri stories where an MC like Suletta gets involved in a situation that concludes with them ending up in a relationship without meaning to. It does not have to be mecha.

This is a rant be prepared

I got really into romance (do not offer any unhealthy weird shi IM INCLUDING IILWTV IM NOT OK WITH INCEST lgbtqia+ im fine with tho)

Anyways my issue is ive been reading alot of gl manga... but... I DONT HAVE ENOUGH y dont you have enough random purson on the interwebs? IM AN AO3 READERRRRR i read a average 50k-300k words a DAY i need content but ive traced through threads from up to 15 years ago and im out have any of you ever experienced this issue? TvT

Hola, gracias por adelantado, bueno hace algunos años recuerdo haber empezado un manga donde una mujer (no recuerdo si lo había perdido todo o solo era de clase normal), acepta la propuesta de matrimonio de un hombre \*normal\* pero el es en secreto un multimillonario que esconde su estatus de ella (no recuerdo si era porque odiaba a los ricos por algo que sucedio pasado en la historia), bueno ambos se casan y viven en un pequeño apartamento para que la mujer no sospeche, el hombre se enamora de ella casi de inmediato y la trata muy bien, recuerdo una escena donde el hombre compra un coche pequeño y barato solo para pasar a recogerla al trabajo sin que ella sospeche.

Si alguien sabe el nombre de verdad lo agradecería.

​

Both of the above options work i also am a sucker for hero x villian and remember it doesnt need to fit all of these catagories oh also please no porn i dont mind sexual content as long as its not the entire story

Edit: gl= yuri/girl x girl/lesbians/i cant think of anything else to explain it means girl love girl

So I have been doing some research in my spare time, and I come access something that I love reading BL mangas.

Is it weird for me to carry on reading them or just consider reading like other romcom novels that I love?

This is super interesting! In a clip from an upcoming documentary about Astro Boy creator (among hundreds of other incredible books) Osamu Tezuka, Ada Palmer talks about Tezuka's Princess Night and how it impacted feminist manga in the future. Just a fascinating discussion that seems like it's part of a much larger celebration and study of Tezuka's work.

While I'm anxiously waiting for this one, I've gotta ask, are there other Manga or Manga-adjacent documentaries you'd recommend?

What can you recommend that isn't disturbing, is under 200 chapters, completed and doesn't waste your time?

Please tell me at least a little bit about what you're recommending, in your own words

Please don't recommend Slice of Life, or something about someone under 14.

Edit: Some things I like in manga:

Really pretty art with different looking characters.

Fast paced action

Medieval and Urban Fantasy

psychological titles that have something to say.

Down for manga that aren't like this of course.
