The One True Oden

After you read Uzumaki, you should definitely check out Junji Ito's Cat Diary. Another terrifying work of mind-bending horror, this time autobiographical!

There's no need for a wiki on that, you hit one point, and you just kind of know that was where it was supposed to end.

If you really need to know where it should have ended, you can watch the live action movie adaptations. They actually ends where they should, and have a completely different twist that's also pretty interesting.

The Gantz movies were pretty fun, and at least they pulled more from the source material past the drat Temple Mission. The ending of the second movie was pretty crap, but it at least tried.

That's okay, it's impossible for it to be worse than the original ending to Gantz.

Complaining about the fanservice in MHA is insane when there are series like History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi in the same magazine.

Comixology is having a jojo sale. I've previously been told it doesnt really jump off til a certain point or should I just grab whatever?

Read all of it. Some parts are better than others, but it's all worth reading.

Househusband is screamingly funny and yes, just took an Eisner award. You'll get a little more out of it if you're familiar with the manga street punk / yakuza tropes, but if you post here you'll probably recognize enough. The wordplay, visual gags, and drummed-up dramatic tension is clear enough to carry it though, even if you don't catch all the little things.

It's really a great mixture of genre/stereotype jokes and just straight-up funny gags that work without any cultural context. Some of the best slapstick comedy I've seen in a manga.

If you're only on chapter 6, you have made no progress whatsoever on the plot. This is not a manga that is going to do a slow burn; keep going, and things will happen. A lot of things will happen. A surprisingly high number of things will happen.

There is pretty much nothing I can say here that isn't spoilers, but give it a bit more time. You will know, inside your heart, that you must continue reading, because

SOUBOUTEI MUST BE DESTROYED

Yeah, I'd say you should keep going. That series starts out very... scattered, but as things progress and the real plot starts happening, it gets really compelling. It's a really unique series, I'll say that much, I've never read anything quite like it. I also don't want to spoil where it goes, because that's half the fun, but it really Goes Places. Just keep reading, it's okay to skim certain parts, it does have a ridiculous amount of dialog at times.

Souboutei MUST be destroyed.
