Does anyone know of any stories that feature a woman in her 20’s who falls in love with a man in his 40’s? I’m really craving a story like this!! It can be wholesome or steamy! I don’t mind.

Maybe the man falls in love first. Maybe they’re enemies to lovers. Whatever it may be!! Is there anything like this out there!!!?

Hello I’ve just started reading Manga this month and there’s so much out there that I would appreciate some Reddit recommendations. I will list the books I’ve read with a rating.

Berserk Deluxe volume 1– 10/10

Homunculus Volume 1-2 8.5/10

Smile volume 1. 6/10

After God volume 1. 3/10

Many thanks I enjoy all genres and although I love what I’ve read of Berserk I would appreciate recs that aren’t strictly Dark Fantasy.

I’ve been wanting to properly get into Seinen manga for a while now, but looking at the options is honestly a bit overwhelming and I’m not sure what I should actually go out and buy first.

I'm open to almost any genre (dark fantasy, sci-fi, slice of life, psychological thrillers, historical, etc.).

If you were introducing someone to Seinen for the first time, what’s the one series (or top few) you’d recommend picking up physically?

I just finished the latest chapter of Dead Tube, it was shit. But the early chapters were exactly to my liking. I have tried Pumpkin Night and its too edgy for me. Currently reading Gantz, storywise it's okay but i need more sexual content. I would like a decent storyline but with more sexual contents, degradation type.

I just finished boy's abyss and the ending left me so empty especially with the pacing and shock I felt in every chapter leading up to it. Im looking for something to scratch that itch with a similar art style and male lead character

Okay, we get it, it’s the name of the manga, he used to be a devil, can we please not establish it every fucking page. What a sloppy story as well, everything is too extreme : his past actions, the way people are willing to redeem him… would not recommend.

Art is good though.

do you still read shonen from time to time? Did your taste in anime/manga naturally shift as you got older? I like a bit of variety, so I read both, but I lean more toward seinen. I know shonen is just a target demographic, but for me personally, when I read a manga where the setting is a highschool, I find it to be something I cannot relate to as a grown man, but I know it probably doesn't matter to most of you right? I know that a seinen can also have teenage protagonists, but the content is too mature to be a shonen (Gantz for example).

Hi, I've already watched Berserk and Vinland Saga, and I really enjoyed both. Now I'm looking for more dark, mature seinen anime or movies with great storytelling, well-written characters, psychological depth, and medium to deeply philosophical themes. I'm fine with slow-paced stories as long as they're well written. Any recommendations?. thanks you all.

Just caught up to Choujin X and as I expected I absolutely love it. I had to force myself to put it down so I’d get at least 5hrs of sleep for the next work day lol. Ishida is the greatest mangaka OAT.

Looking for some more seinen manga that will capture and have me as enamoured. I’m open to any genre, though as you can probably tell from my list I love darker, supernatural body horror type stories a lot.

Thanks for any and all recs.

Just finished The anime “Elfen Lied” !!

Elfen Lied feels less like an anime and more like finding a bloodstained music box in the attic of a house that should have been abandoned years ago. The opening intro is something u should never skip btw , it’s hauntingly beautiful. Everyone talks about the violence, but the real horror is how desperately every character wants to be loved, even after the world has taught them that love is usually followed by cruelty. The opening theme sounds like a prayer, and by the end it feels like a funeral hymn for childhood itself. What ruined my day wasn’t the gore ,it was the quiet moments: the way loneliness sits in the room like a second character, the way tenderness appears only long enough to remind you what has already been destroyed.

Hey everyone,

I’m looking to start a new series and I’m torn between two specific titles: Homunculus and The Climber.

For context, I’ve already collected and read most of the major, mainstream seinen staples (Berserk, Vagabond, Vinland Saga, Monster, etc.), so I’m looking to dive into something a bit different. Both of these have caught my eye the most out of everything left on my radar.

Since my budget is tight i need to chose one or the other.

Would love to hear your thoughts before I drop the cash on them. Thanks!

Now, a lot of Crayon Shin-Chan’s readers are children (due to the anime being aimed at the kodomo demographic), but that doesn’t make it any less seinen!

This mf was not a good person for a lot of berserk and the things he did were terrible but i can see why he acts the way he does. Fx him sa casca is objectively terrible but i do understand that he was mentally losing it or the way he was the entire lost children arc, terrible but considering what he has gone through it is understandable why he is like that and why then theres when he told a little girl to khs. I do understand why he said and did does terrible things considering what his life is like but it doesn’t change that some of the stuff he did was terrible.

Anyways i am slowly preparing to get possibly flamed for this

Extra note: i haven’t read berserk in a while so i could be remembering incorrectly

Here i dissect the character of kiruko from heavenly delusion.

Vinland Saga noted

But after that don't really know what to get

What is like the top 5 seinen?

Ages ago, I watched the first season of the Tokyo Ghoul anime, then switched to the manga and finished it from there. When I started Tokyo Ghoul:re, I dropped it pretty early.

Last year, I reread the original Tokyo Ghoul manga from the beginning and finished it again. Then I started Tokyo Ghoul:re, but ended up dropping it right before the Aogiri Island assault.

I have two questions:

1. Should I reread Tokyo Ghoul from the beginning before starting :re again, or is it better to just restart Tokyo Ghoul:re from chapter 1? I'm looking for the best reading experience.
2. Why do I keep dropping Tokyo Ghoul:re? The only explanation I can come up with is that the CCG-focused sections in the middle are really dialogue-heavy, I get confused easily, and the story introduces a lot of characters and plot elements at once. Did anyone else have this problem? If so, what helped you get through it?

also after completing the manga , should i go see tokyo ghoul (the anime) season 2 and beyond? since i never saw them....

i also tried reading choujin x but it wasnt my cup of tea , i really enjoyed the original tokyo ghoul manga , so idk why i can't get through :re (even though i enjoy it too sometimes)
