[0:00] I don't know what to read there's so
[0:01] many manga volumes I'm just getting into
[0:02] and everyone says everything's the best
[0:03] volume and there's just too many to even
[0:05] pick from I don't know what to read calm
[0:07] down my beginner manga friend I'm here
[0:08] to tell you the way of manga and teach
[0:10] you exactly which ones you should be
[0:11] reading as a beginner so here we go
[0:13] let's get into my five recommendations
[0:14] for beginner manga readers to help you
[0:16] jump start your reading journey and not
[0:17] give you too many headaches let's go let
[0:19] me give you a breakdown of what I'm
[0:20] basing these mangas off of there's five
[0:22] key components to a beginner manga for
[0:24] me number one the art needs to be clean
[0:26] if the art is super hard to read super
[0:27] dark super cluttered it's not going to
[0:29] be in here all of these mangas I'm going
[0:30] to recommend are going to have easy art
[0:32] that's going to be easy for you to read
[0:33] while your eyes get used to reading
[0:34] manga number two they have to be readily
[0:36] available if they're not readily
[0:37] available they will not be on the list
[0:39] number three is going to be the story
[0:40] the story is going to be simple but good
[0:42] I don't think you should be reading
[0:43] anything that is mind-blowing yet
[0:44] because you're just getting into reading
[0:45] manga for the first time and you're
[0:46] probably going to miss a lot of things
[0:48] if the story is over overwhelming when
[0:50] you're still trying to like figure out
[0:51] how to read it to begin with number two
[0:53] or number four whatever it is they need
[0:54] to be cheap I am not going to be
[0:55] recommending anything that's going to
[0:56] cost you tons of money like berserk I
[0:58] see some people recommend berserk
[0:59] berserk Deluxe is $50 a book and there's
[1:01] 14 of them do the math on that it's like
[1:03] $700 no no no no no I'm not going to be
[1:05] recommending bleach one piece even
[1:06] though bleach is my favorite manga it's
[1:08] long and it's expensive I know it's not
[1:09] good for beginners and lastly they have
[1:11] to look cool you're building a
[1:13] collection you want it to look cool we
[1:14] all do trust me I that's the only reason
[1:17] I have all this is to look cool I'm
[1:19] kidding yeah they need to have cool
[1:20] spines that look on a shelf when lined
[1:21] up and they need to have cool covers so
[1:23] all these series are going to follow
[1:24] those five recommendations but um yeah
[1:25] let's get into it so at number five we
[1:27] have this beautiful series called sack
[1:30] days which follows this old fat man
[1:32] named Taro Sakamoto who in his prime was
[1:35] Japan's most legendary Hitman to ever
[1:36] exist now he's a middle-aged fat man who
[1:39] runs a convenience store so unfortunate
[1:41] he is wrote back into the world of
[1:43] hitman's um when some of his old
[1:45] acquaintances and enemies come back and
[1:47] kind of rope him out of it so it's a
[1:49] super cool series it's a very simple
[1:51] series basically a battle shown in um
[1:54] not even a battle shown in just a battle
[1:55] manga where this is actually the main
[1:57] character and him and Sakamoto go on
[1:59] these Ventures together and fight the
[2:01] enemy at hand um it's super cool because
[2:03] the art and choreography is almost the
[2:05] art and choreography might be the best
[2:07] choreography fights in manga that I've
[2:09] read the choreography is ridiculous the
[2:10] art is super good too and clean to read
[2:12] yeah so Sakamoto days has some of the
[2:14] coolest covers as of now I would say
[2:17] like some of these covers are ridiculous
[2:19] they are probably untouched in the manga
[2:21] scene if we're being honest with
[2:22] ourselves like these covers are
[2:24] absolutely ridiculous and the spines
[2:26] look super good as well in Sakamoto days
[2:28] so definitely check out Sakamoto days
[2:29] that's my number five recommendation
[2:31] let's jump into the number four number
[2:32] four is going to Kaiju number eight I
[2:35] don't know if you guessed it you
[2:36] probably could have Kaiju number eight
[2:37] is a great beginner manga because of how
[2:39] simple the story is and how clean the
[2:40] art is the art in this might be easier
[2:42] to read especially in fight scenes than
[2:43] Sakamoto days but the art in this is
[2:45] super easy and clean to read the covers
[2:47] are awesome and super colorful and
[2:49] vibrant the spines look amazing on the
[2:51] Shelf like amazing the colors are crazy
[2:53] overall gist of Kaiju number eight is
[2:55] Japan is overruled with monsters called
[2:57] Kaiju and there's a special forces team
[2:59] that has put together to fight these
[3:00] Kaiju off and keep them keep people out
[3:02] of Harm's Way when Kafka the main
[3:04] character is enrolled into this Special
[3:06] Forces Unit and then they go on a
[3:08] cleanup type of mission he is infected
[3:10] with a special Kaiju something um I
[3:13] don't want to spoil too much and then he
[3:15] becomes half Kaiju half human he is has
[3:18] crazy abilities um he can turn into a
[3:20] Kaiju and fight them so it kind of
[3:22] follows him there are crazy characters
[3:23] in this super cool characters as well
[3:25] the story isn't anything Earth
[3:27] shattering but it's fun it's engaging
[3:29] and it's easy to read and that's what
[3:30] we're here for as a beginner so they're
[3:32] cheap they're like $10 a book so and
[3:34] there's 10 of them so like 100 bucks for
[3:35] all of them it is ongoing but um yeah
[3:37] look at some of these covers the colors
[3:39] on these are so I don't even know if the
[3:41] camera does them Justice that's kij
[3:43] number eight you need to be reading KY
[3:44] number eight as a beginner baby let's
[3:46] get into the number three
[3:47] recommendations we're going to switch it
[3:48] up a little bit all righty my third
[3:49] recommendation recommendation for you
[3:51] guys is going to be Tokyo Ghoul and
[3:53] Tokyo gou re obviously pretty much knows
[3:55] what this is the anime did not do it
[3:57] justice at all so Tokyo Ghoul has to be
[3:59] on this list I know some people might be
[4:00] like oh it's too deep for beginners it's
[4:02] too dark I think but I don't want to
[4:03] give you guys all bunch of Basics shown
[4:05] in New Gen obviously some of them are
[4:06] really good to get into to start getting
[4:07] into manga but I think Tokyo Ghoul this
[4:09] was the first like full series I ever
[4:11] read and it was awesome this is probably
[4:13] one of the most well-written and unique
[4:15] sanss I've ever read it's super dark but
[4:18] also easy to read so I haven't had I
[4:20] didn't have any issues depicting what
[4:21] was actually going on in the panels
[4:22] whereas some other mangas who do Dark
[4:24] Art they make it really kind of blend
[4:26] together and it gets hard Tokyo Ghoul
[4:27] does has a good way of not doing that
[4:29] but the basic gist is you have the main
[4:31] character Ken kaneki who is a young
[4:34] innocent boy who loves reading books and
[4:36] he goes to his favorite coffee shop
[4:37] every day and he meets this girl named
[4:39] Rise um they start hanging out they
[4:41] start talking books she's super into
[4:42] books he finds out she's a ghoul and she
[4:44] tries to eat him and kill him and then
[4:45] she ends up dying she ends up dying and
[4:47] he is barely half alive after being
[4:49] attacked by her her organs are
[4:51] transplanted into him and now he is half
[4:53] cool and half human and now he goes
[4:55] through these struggles of trying to fit
[4:57] into Both Worlds and he does not do good
[4:59] because
[5:00] to be a ghoul you can't eat food you
[5:02] have to eat humans and he's a little kid
[5:03] who was human so eating humans for him
[5:05] is not really on the table and is very
[5:07] traumatizing so he doesn't really know
[5:09] he starts going insane little spoiler he
[5:11] eventually does crash out completely and
[5:13] become super op and literally insane
[5:15] like mentally insane so Tokyo Ghoul is a
[5:17] crazy like tragic hero story that you
[5:19] should be reading if you're into manga
[5:20] this is for an older audience so if you
[5:23] are young like 10 12 I don't know if
[5:25] you're watching this if you're 10 but I
[5:26] wouldn't recommend this but if you are
[5:28] 16 plus I would say this is great story
[5:30] that you'll understand the themes enough
[5:31] being old enough so definitely check
[5:33] this out again the covers
[5:35] are um super cool like I said the covers
[5:38] of this are are super cool so that fits
[5:39] into the category also it's super cheap
[5:41] you can get both box sets I think box
[5:43] set one of Tokyo Ghoul is like 100 110
[5:46] bucks box set two is like 160 so you're
[5:48] getting this whole series of 30 volumes
[5:49] for like 200 bucks or something 250
[5:51] bucks so definitely fits that and it um
[5:54] has cool spines the spines all line up
[5:56] and they are super clean so you need to
[5:57] check out Tokyo Ghoul and Tokyo goul if
[6:00] you're a beginner um but yeah let's get
[6:01] to the next righty the number two
[6:03] recommendation is here and that is jujuu
[6:06] kaisen a lot of you might be screaming
[6:07] right now ju sucks not even Good Ju is
[6:11] not even Good Ju is the worst of dark
[6:12] tra shut it Chumps it's my
[6:14] recommendation list and ju ka's number
[6:16] two I recommend this to almost all my
[6:18] friends who are just getting into manga
[6:19] because I think it's a super good entry
[6:21] way that's super fun and engaging but
[6:22] also not super deep jjk is again another
[6:25] kind of simple story it is about follows
[6:27] a kid named Yuji itadori who is a high
[6:29] Schooler in a world where Japan is
[6:31] overrun with cursed Spirits only people
[6:33] with cursed energy can see and fend off
[6:36] the only way a normal person can see
[6:38] cursed Spirits is in a life or death
[6:40] situation which Yugi is put into and he
[6:42] ends up consuming a cursed object that
[6:44] he was chasing for his Ghost Hunter club
[6:46] that is of sua the main the main
[6:48] antagonist in this story he then has sua
[6:50] as part of him inside of him he is
[6:52] luckily a super strong like superum
[6:55] strong kind of person who is able to
[6:56] fend him off internally and control his
[6:59] own body still so it he then after now
[7:02] acquiring this cursed energy and being
[7:03] able to fight cursed Spirit the magic
[7:05] Technical College which he trains under
[7:07] Satur Gojo probably the coolest
[7:09] character in manga I don't know maybe
[7:11] not he's so cool though and I love him
[7:13] any character with white hair you know
[7:14] is going to be cool but yeah it's a
[7:16] super cool series it's of the dark Trio
[7:17] so it is Shonen but it is a little bit
[7:19] of a darker take on Shonen which is cool
[7:21] so you need to check this out the Art's
[7:22] great the characters are great the
[7:23] covers are super cool as well this
[7:25] Volume 14 is actually one of my favorite
[7:27] covers in my collection but yeah that is
[7:29] um that is going to be my second
[7:31] recommendation juuk kais and let's get
[7:33] on to my last recommendation which a lot
[7:34] of you probably haven't even heard about
[7:36] so I'm excited to recommend it a lot of
[7:37] you might be pissed at I'm recommending
[7:39] this cuz you're like oh it should be
[7:40] bleach or one piece no one this is my
[7:42] list two I want to put you guys on to
[7:44] some heat and that heat and my
[7:46] number one recommendation is Alice and
[7:47] Borderland Alice and Borderland is one
[7:49] of my favorite mangas probably in my top
[7:51] three just because of how awesome the
[7:53] story is you're going to read a lot of
[7:54] manga in your journey that you're
[7:56] starting and a lot of it's going to seem
[7:57] kind of similar definitely going to be
[7:58] some different point points and
[7:59] abilities and Power Systems but it's
[8:01] kind of going to be a little bit similar
[8:03] Alice and Borderland everything's here
[8:04] Alice and borderland's here the story is
[8:06] of like nothing you've read before
[8:07] especially since you're a beginner but
[8:09] it's like nothing you'll read again so
[8:10] you'll read this and you won't read
[8:12] another Series be like oh it's kind of
[8:13] the same gist but Alison Borderland is
[8:15] going to be San so it is going to be
[8:17] geared a little bit towards more adults
[8:19] um it does have darker themes in it but
[8:21] it follows um arisu I think that's how
[8:23] you pronounce it I don't know and he is
[8:25] a um kind of lost teenager who doesn't
[8:29] really where he's going in life and what
[8:30] to do with life and he's kind of over it
[8:32] he then gets transported to like a
[8:33] parallel world a parallel world that is
[8:35] almost in the future and it's run down
[8:37] and there's nobody there him and his
[8:38] friends are transported there he finds
[8:40] that the only way to survive in this
[8:41] world is to play Death game with the
[8:43] other players in this parallel world so
[8:45] he then goes through all of these
[8:46] different games trying to survive if you
[8:48] don't play the games you die if you play
[8:50] the games and lose you die the only way
[8:51] to win and survive in this world is
[8:53] playing these games and trust me Guys
[8:55] these games are so cool they're so
[8:57] thought out and well written that
[8:58] they're each everyone is so engaging and
[9:00] fun to read that you're going to love
[9:02] every single one and you're going to
[9:03] wish there was more games to read
[9:05] definitely check out aliceon Borderland
[9:07] it is also cheap I think there's nine
[9:09] volumes the covers are super cool and
[9:11] they're also probably the best quality
[9:13] um omnibuses I've ever read these are
[9:15] two in one volumes also the spines all
[9:17] linked together and form a city when put
[9:20] together which is super cool I'll guess
[9:21] in Boll of that but um yeah Alison
[9:23] Borderland is awesome there is the live
[9:25] action on Netflix but it's not as good
[9:27] as the manga trust me I've watched both
[9:29] watched it and I read this so you need
[9:31] to check out Alison Borderland if you're
[9:33] a beginner because one I'm recommending
[9:35] it and I'm awesome two it's super good
[9:36] and super fun and it's going to be like
[9:38] nothing you've read so far I promise so
[9:40] check out Alison Borderland as my number
[9:41] one recommendation but yeah that is my
[9:43] list for you beginners I hope you
[9:45] enjoyed all of them they're all going to
[9:46] be great reads for you they're all going
[9:47] to be easy cheap engaging and easy to
[9:50] find and they're going to look good on
[9:51] your shelves so I hope you enjoyed if
[9:53] you did like follow or if you did like
[9:56] subscribe and comment which one you're
