EmmyOk posted:If you’ve never read other manga but liked CSM JJK is your best bet. It’s also really good. After that you can stretch your wings with more different stuff imo. Despite being similar don’t worry about JJK being a retread. They started around the same time and have a comparable set up with curses and devils as well as their main trips initial vibe. However they’re both interested in telling different but cool types of stories and need of as quite different series. i will say that trying to read JJK after reading CSM just made me want to reread CSM after 20 or so chapters so ymmv

They feel pretty different imo by that time. I think the primary difference is that CSM goes off the rails pretty much immediately after the Infinity Devil but JJK doesn't go insane until a later date. I prefer CSM too but I think JJK is just a slower burn to get to the point where you realise it's doing much more interesting things than a lot of standard fare shonen. The Shibuya Incident imo is an all timer. Even just before that you have hidden inventory which will start off season 2. basically where the anime season of JJK ends is just before it goes from "solid well polished shonen" to "really drat good stuff" imo

I second Dorohedoro is a good next one, especially since it has the hyper violence, surreal world building and unexpected comedic moments. Fujimoto has a very specific tone and writing style so there’s no direct comparisons tbqh. I think he’s the best in the biz atm.

While it's not thematically close to CSM at all, I would recommend 100 Mob Psycho for action, warmth, silliness, and character portrayal + growth. If the manga art style is too rough for you, maybe try the anime.

Chainsaw Man and Dorohedoro both have found family themes too. What CSM doesn’t have is the way it becomes insanely tedious the moment Hole appears

I mean... it's nothing like CSM (arguably), but I highly recommend Naoki Urasawa's stuff. Monster, 20th Century Boys, and Pluto are phenomenal not-just-manga, but works of fiction. Beautiful art, engaging characters, hard emotional beats, horrifying twists, and steeped wonderfully in the flavors of the eras they portray.

Seconding all of those. Pluto is the shortest and easiest to enjoy but the other two are equally incredible.

If we're tossing out good manga at random, Fujimoto's reader comments for Chainsaw Man introduced me to Kabu No Isaki, a 6 volume manga about a delivery pilot in a world where many things are in ten times scale.

Weird BIAS posted:How similar are Makima and Yoru really? Well, they're both non-human who've taken an interest in humanity, so they have that in common. However, Makima deluded herself into thinking she fully understood humanity when it was was clear she just fundamentally did not, while Yoru has enough self awareness to comprehend that she doesn't know much about humans and is slowly learning more about them through Asa. Yoru is willing to change and try new things in ways Makima was not, so Yoru has a capacity for growth and development which Makima never did. As of now I'd say Yoru is more likely to become capable of feeling and expressing love, and that's the key difference between her and Makima.

Space Cadet Omoly posted:Well, they're both non-human who've taken an interest in humanity, so they have that in common. Makima did understand humans pretty well, including Denji, who she played like a kazoo despite not being able to use her powers. She also was aware that she didn't know everything and acted on that, doing things like just asking Denji why he was feeling bad in the early chapters. I'd even say that she was capable of expressing love. Her last scene with Pochita was her just talking about wanting to live a happy life together. She just didn't accept Denji and didn't understand Chainsaw Man, and between the two, she ruined everything. Yoru, meanwhile, seems harmless and funny right now because she's an idiot and relatively low power, but she's still even more casual about murder than Power was, and pretty clearly trying to manipulate Asa in ways that aren't to Asa's benefit. She's even playing the guilt card that Santa relied on and that Makima broke Denji with. That's not looking clean and heroic, you know?

It's.....complex. A bit horror, a bit maybe BL, a bit quietly introspective slice of life. Certainly worthy of the 1st slot, even if I like Eri more.

talk about the animation/kobeni vs snake scene in the anime thread has me thinking about the adaptational changes. so far i know:
anything else notable they've compressed or changed to date? Valentin fucked around with this message at 19:36 on Dec 13, 2022 |

I get what you mean with Kobeni but my impression was she couldn't see Snake yet was managing to kind of guess where she was.

I agree it undercuts Kobeni's skills a little and I prefer how the manga handled that. However Kobeni always felt very in control in that scene to me and the anime captures that correctly to me. The other addition it made to that scene is showing Kobeni actually ice that old granny which was cool

It also makes the part where she runs to hide behind Denji a lot more awkward, since she could have shot Snake or been shooting while running or something. It was a weird choice

Ive thought about it and if I had to put money on it right now, I think Denji is going to end up with another sister here, but the "god my brother is so lame" type this time. There is still a critical brain cell shortage. Maybe Nayuta got the rest of them? https://twitter.com/Raggumba/status/1602299732688109568?t=7UCGWQgTIQm1p8kzbgK1IQ&s=19

Wow the anime ending today is playing dirty. Final shot of the episode itself is the future devil and then an ending no anime only watcher could possibly get. Its a reference to the end of part 1 of Chainsaw man with Denji now living with the dogs and eating Makima and I think the coloring is how the future devil sees the world

King of Solomon posted:I cannot recommend Dandadan enough. It's another manga that I'm blown away by every single week, from how well written and expressive the characters are to how creative and fun the encounters with aliens and/or supernatural entities can be. It's a real treasure of a manga. I should note that there's some offputting stuff in chapter 1, but that's not a regular thing. +1 for this, its completely mad, and incredibly pretty

I thought Kobeni's plan was to secure the half-Denji, not get into some revengence battle to the death, which worked perfectly. Hyper violence super speed to fully neutralize the injured Katana man and spook the uninjured Snake away
