MY TOP 15 MANGA READS (that are NOT Berserk or One Piece!!)

This aint your cousin's Top 10 Manga video. After several months of procrastination I have finally completed by long-awaited companion piece to my Fantasy and Science Fiction Top 15 lists. I am a longtime fan of Japanese manga, but I feel like a lot of lists are very similar due to fandom-wide consensus of what the "best" manga are. So to break the mold, I am making my own list that excludes some of my favorite shonen and seinen such as Vinland Saga, Hunter x Hunter, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, and OF COURSE Berserk and One Piece in favor of a more dynamic, unpredictable selection. I hope you enjoy!! Let me know if you want to hear some more of my weird manga thoughts!! Hello to anyone coming here from Bookpilled!! Matt shouted me out in his newest video and I am deeply honored. He is my favorite booktuber and biggest inspiration. Most of my favorite sci-fi are books and authors that he introduced to me.
