7 BEST MANGA YOU MUST READ RIGHT NOW

I’ve been reading manga for over half my life. I’ve seen the North American manga industry go through ups and downs, but it seems to have stabilized now. Today, we have access to some of the best manga series because publishers are taking risks and licensing lesser known titles and classic backlist series. This is great news for all of us manga fans!

I compiled this list with a variety of manga in mind. I wanted to make sure that there was something for everyone, regardless of age or preferences. I included both well-known series as well as some hidden gems that I think are worth reading. I strongly believe that there is a manga out there for everyone. Hopefully one of the following titles catches your eye!

COMPLETED MODERN CLASSICS

If you’re interested in reading manga but don’t know where to start, I recommend checking out some of the titles below. I chose these specific series because they’re completed stories, so you don’t have to worry about getting invested in a series that isn’t finished yet. Additionally, they’re all popular series that have been around for awhile, so you’ll be able to connect with other manga readers who have already read them.

DRAGON BALL BY AKIRA TORIYAMA

Toriyama’s iconic manga, Journey to the West, draws inspiration from the classic Chinese novel of the same name. The series revolves around Son Goku, an alien raised as a human who trains in martial arts and seeks the dragon  which can summon a dragon able to grant any wish.
