Dandadan
Dandadan is a shonen manga of the sci-fi genre that combines demonic elements. The main character of the story is Takakura Ken – a nerd boy who only believes in aliens and Ayase Momo – a girl who only believes in demons. In one “accidental”, the two challenged each other: Momo will communicate with aliens and Ken has to go to a famous haunted place. The result of this mischief is that Momo was almost taken by aliens with “thousands of gold” and Ken was possessed by the monster Turbo Baba and lost his “vagina”. To help Ken get back to normal, Momo became his new companion. Dandadan’s story begins here.
With its uniqueness, Dandadan has become a phenomenon since its debut. Up to now, the story is still maintaining the required form and expanding the world more and more. If it keeps growing at the current rate, Dandadan will surely become a very hot name in the near future.
Choujin X
Created by Ishida Sui, the mangaka that created the once-popular Tokyo Ghoul, Choujin X is the story of Kurohara Tokio, a dim-witted boy who is forced to transform into a Choujin – a supernatural race with terrifying powers.
With elements that bear many similarities with Tokyo Ghoul, Choujin X still knows how to make a difference thanks to its smart leadership and artistic visuals. The only weakness of the story is that it has an unstable release schedule, so it is quite difficult for fans to follow.
Ayashimon
If you’ve ever seen Jigokuraku – Hell of Ultimate Bliss, you’ve probably heard of mangaka Kaku Yuuji. After completing the story of prisoners searching for the “elixir of life”, Kaku-sensei has continued to launch a completely new manga, brighter, more funny, crazier. Yes, that’s Ayashimon.
Set in modern times, where the fearsome yakuza are mostly Ayashimon – roughly understood as “youkai”. In this world, we will be following in the footsteps of Maruo, an “otaku” who is addicted to manga to the point of training and gaining insane powers similar to the main characters of the manga. As he grew up, Maruo realized that the power was not really useful and he couldn’t use it to fight as much as he imagined as a child until Maruo met Urara, a mysterious girl from the world. underground world. After witnessing Maruo’s monster-smashing power as easy as Saitama’s slaying of monsters, Urara asked him to become a member of his clan. The crazy fighting path to bring Urara to become a yakuza boss starts here.
Blue Box
Belonging to the gentle school romance genre, Blue Box – Ao No Hako is an extremely new breeze that is highly appreciated on Weekly Shonen Jump. Blue Box tells a pretty simple story. We have the male lead Taiki who is a male student of the school’s badminton club. He fell in love with the senior Chinatsu in the women’s basketball club. Due to some unexpected events, Chinatsu moved to where Taiki lived. Given the godly chance to be with his crush, did Taiki do anything dark? The answer will bring you many pleasant surprises.
Tenkaichi
With the rise of Shuumatsu No Valkyrie and the Kengan series, the fighting manga genre is now extremely popular with readers. Not to miss this opportunity, Nakamaru Yousuke and Azuma Kyoutarou together created Tenkaichi – a fighting manga title whose main content is a confrontation between the strongest characters in Japanese history in the 1600s to find the strongest gladiator. Best!
Not as majestic as the battle of the gods in Shuumatsu No Valkyrie, Tenkaichi is simply a battle between ordinary people who have forged their abilities to the ultimate realm. This has contributed to helping Tenkaichi receive the love of readers!
