Not sure if this is the correct place to ask this but...

I've never read a manga, but I'm enjoying Chainsaw Man enough that I want to read past the anime (and Demon Slayer too). Is there a how to read manga around here? Do I just start in the back?

Also, was the original Tiger Mask manga ever printed in English / is it available anywhere? I checked Amazon, but that didn't seem to return anything.

If you mean "should I start from the beginning of the manga or pick up where the anime leaves off", it depends from series to series. With Chainsaw Man, I've seen people say the anime does an incredible job adapting it, though it misses some little things that you might appreciate, but rereading from the start isn't entirely necessary.

Sorry I'm a little confused - do you literally mean how to read manga? If so yeah, these days the right-left order is preserved in translation, so the front cover is the right cover and the back cover is the left, and panels are read right -> left, top -> bottom. many physical copies will painfully explain this on the inside covers (hey you are reading the wrong way!!!!!) or at least used to.

If you mean how to read Chainsaw Man, as in where, you can sub to the viz shonen jump app for like 2 USD a month and you get access to the whole backlog (same deal with Demon Slayer). We're currently at chapter 24 in the show I think if you want to start there, though personally I'd start from the beginning because 20 chapters is nothing and CSM rules.

No idea about Tiger Mask sorry.

Spine on the right to start

Panel order:



Read the page on the right and then the page on the left (and then turn the page, repeat). Double-page spreads read the same way.

Takes about half an hour to get used to.

Also, words/phrases spread out between multiple bubbles still reads bubble order R-L but word order L-R

e.g., three bubbles in a single panel read:

(SLUT) (-DA) (SEXY POSTER PRA-)

My favorite part is that when Japanese is printed horizontally (which is actually pretty common, although not in manga for some reason), it's read left to right.

I think tiger and bunny season 2 was good? Idk I didn't watch it. Also they should still be uploading isekai ojisan which has been pretty entertaining.

Is there a show with gorgeous scenery and a sense of exploration and adventure in otherworldly environments like Made in Abyss that isn't Made in Abyss? I want to scratch that itch again and tried the first episode of the new season, and Jesus loving Christ.

does Girls Last Tour count or does it have to be fantasy?

unfortunately like 99% of fantasy anime isn't really interested in the scale or geography of the world in the way MiA is so there's not much that feels similar in that way. that's a big part of how it got so big despite the really lurid content.

it doesn't have the massive scale but grimgar is one of the prettiest fantasy anime shows ever made imo. absolutely beautiful watercolor backgrounds. the characters are basically generic archetypes which may or may not piss you off, though. it's on purpose though, part of how it's a big love letter to classic d&d. it does in general have this pretty melancholy plot about loss, which is cool and pretty unique in the dreaded Isekai genre

It's not a show, but you might like reading Kabu no Isaki. It really has a sense of scale, at minimum.

Coxswain Balls

I just want something that's like exploring in a Myst game. The Abyss is basically D'ni and all the ages you visit combined so MiA would have been perfect. I was able to hold my nose for the first season and the movie, but apparently it was necessary to have season 2 open with a rape scene and showing Riko taking a dump was so important that they had to dedicate the end of the episode to it. If it just keeps going like that I dunno man. I dunno.

Tales of Woe

definitely try Girls Last Tour if you haven't seen it yet then, it's post-apoc rather than fantasy but there's lots of cool and varied scenery and it has the scale

chiasaur11
Oct 22, 2012



Yeah, I really think you'd like reading Kabu no Isaki. It's set in a world at 10 times scale where a young man named Isaki just got a plane for delivering packages.

It's by the same creator as Yokohama Kaidashi Kikō, which got a few OVAs that also might be your speed. It's the most mellow post-apocalypse you'll find.

A few others, although Kabu no Isaki is the longest of them.

I actually found out about it when Tatsuki Fujimoto recommended it with his author comments in Jump.
