Manga

 Manga is ubiquitous with the Japanese culture. It is everywhere and covers a huge range of genres. I however usually focus on fantasy.



Yomi no Tsugai, from the creator of Full Metal Alchemist. It mixes monsters and magic with helicopters and guns. The above is her newest work. It`s already on book 2.

The Hero is Dead

More fantasy. This time the hero is killed because he wanted to eat roast pork and fell into a simple trap. Now a daikon farmer must save the world one knee sock at a time.

The Old Man is Reincarnated as the Villainess.

A cute fantasy where a 56 year old man is hit by a car and is reincarnated into a game. He must try to escape but is held back from embracing his role by his very dadness. 

Let`s Buy Land and Cultivate in Another World.

Another transmigration manga. This time the main hero is thrust into a world and instead of given a powerful skill to stop the demon invasion he is given a farming talent. He then marries a mermaid and more strange people invade his world. This one plays out as more of a haram manga but still cute.

These are just some of the manga available. The pictures are dark because I took them myself with no background lighting. Sorry. Of course I left out one last quite popular manga.


Demon Slayer.

It`s already well known and finished. But a young boy must save his sister from the curse of being a demon.

What ever genre you enjoy reading, be it drama, sci-fi, romance, etc. you`ll find it in Japan. The prices have started to rise so be sure to check out the local used book stores. `Book Off` is one of the biggest but there will be many other ones. Good luck and happy hunting.
