you just can’t beat the originals Mongo
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be counting down our picks for the top
ten manga series but there will be a
time you know benefit from this before
we begin – we publish new videos every
day so be sure to subscribe for more
great content it doesn’t matter if
they’re still in serialization or
finished decades ago the title of best
manga is up for grabs for all of these
Japanese comics will greatly affect our
hospitals reputation you have only
yourself to number 10
vagabond Edo period Japan was a tough
old time vagabond tells the tale of
Musashi Miyamoto one of Japan’s most
prolific samurai the series details all
of his most gargantuan battles in his
quest to become the greatest swordsman
in history the visuals are much more
realistic than most among a series you
may have seen and this works quite well
in the flavor of its historical context
spanning over 37 volumes this series may
be a bit of a commitment but it’s well
worth the effort number 9 Naruto okay so
you’re either gonna love us or hate us
for putting this one on the list but
chances are you’ve experienced Naruto to
some capacity and maybe even enjoyed it
either way when we were first introduced
to canoas favorite knuckleheaded ninja
it was a breath of fresh air proclaiming
that he would someday become the Hokage
his quest faces conflict after conflict
but his will is unshakable although the
manga definitely has its low points the
highs will always resonate us number 8
Dragon Ball a story about a little boy
with a tail on a quest to find all seven
dragonballs who are we kidding
chances are you’re already familiar with
Akira Toriyama’s magnum opus
but we’re obligated to recommend this to
any fan of the franchise as interested
as I am to see this trick of yours
from its humble beginnings all the way
to the planet shattering brawls this
manga encompasses the entire Dragonball
mythos it’s also pretty easy to
recommend the original to anyone who
doesn’t quite have the patience for
episode long power-ups number 7 Death
Note exactly as planned
life as a god of death can get pretty
boring as such it’s hard to blame Ryoga
for dropping his notebook which has the
power to coins intently kill anyone
whose name is written inside into the
human world it just so happens that it
falls into the hands of the perfect
candidate
Light Yagami uses his newfound powers to
see his desires come to life and
consequently become the god of the new
world expertly written by omen Tsugumi
and accompanied by the unparalleled
artwork of Takeshi Obata Death Note is
the total package number 6 monster Tenma
we simply couldn’t make a manga list
without including one of the works of
the manga legend no Kira Sawa monster
tells the story of Kenzo Tenma and
genies doctor who opts to treat a young
boy suffering a gunshot wound rather
than a politician his choice at first
seems fruitful but after his enemies
start getting murdered one by one Tenma
can tell that something just ain’t right
though fans of Boris Allah’s work may
prefer 20th century boys or Pluto our
vote goes to this masterpiece number 5
Full Metal Alchemist think I have a good
feeling about this one it is dictated in
the rules of alchemy that in order to
gain something you must exchange
something of equal value the Elric bros
learn this the hard way when they lose
their bodies or at least parts of them
in an attempt to resurrect their mom
their tragedy only feeds their desire
and soon their research for the
Philosopher’s Stone leads them into
conspiracy murder and homunculus you may
be more familiar with the anime
adaptations but the original manga
version is the definitive full metal
alchemist experience number 4 JoJo’s
Bizarre Adventure beginning with Fist of
the North Star meats withering Heights
and taking it from there
this entry has spanned over eight
bizarre installments
each follows one of the Joestar
descendants who seem to find themselves
in the most peculiar of conflicts
including vampires and murderers with
hand fetishes Jojo has proved to evolve
itself throughout its installments
keeping the manga fresh and engaging
helped the series has reached such high
esteem that its characters were even
featured in the windows of Gucci stores
number three boy a su meat bun bun Asano
a neo has proven himself to be a mangaka
in a field of his own with works like
soul Lennon and girl on the shore but
non stand out quite as much as I assume
upon done telling the tale of the
troubled youth who falls for the equally
if not more disturbed I co this manga
series is one that will both comfort and
make you feel very uncomfortable from
time to time
despite its cutesy covers boy Osumi pon
pon is likely the darkest entry on this
list and one that will profoundly affect
you number two one piece
when monkey D Luffy proclaimed that he
would someday be the king of pirates
back in 1997 we had no idea for what a
wild and long ride we were in for from
secret Fishman Islands two kingdoms run
by dastardly tyrants it seems that
wherever Luffy lays his straw hat there
is bound to be a brawl it really does
beg the question where Ichiro Oda does
get the strength to write a series that
stands as the highest-grossing manga
series of all time and fortunately for
us it has no signs of letting up anytime
soon before we reveal our number one
pick here a few honorable mentions
number one berserk no stop it
don’t kill me and what is it you said
when those people beg you for mercy
following the struggles of ex-mercenary
guts after what can only be the most
horrendous of anime backstories berserk
tackles the terrifying themes of love
loss and pure carnage though the
argument can be made that berserk may
never see its ending and the seemingly
endless hiatuses have damaged its
reputation greatly there simply isn’t
any other series that puts together the
horror action and absolutely stunning
visuals the way that berserk does not
even the MA adaptations though good
seemed to capture its edge
needless to say canthotomy auras classic
high fantasy manga series takes home our
trophy for best manga series do you
