I am genuinely sad that My Hero Academia has finally ended. Easily my favourite of the new-gen shounens! Excited to see what type of manga Horikoshi would want to make next. He’s clearly a talented mangaka! ---

A new anime I’ve recently watched and loved is _Zom 100_. It’s such a fun and hopeful take on living in a post-apocalyptic zombie hellscape. Only one season is out and another hasn’t been announced yet so I started buying the manga. Some of the things I love about it is the animation, its discussion of workplace abuse, and survival competency. It’s also very goofy. I only have the first two volumes so I can’t really comment on how enjoyable the manga is in comparison to the anime. I’ve also really been enjoying _Frieren_. My partner has read a bit of it online before its localization so he was really excited to watch the anime with me. Some parts of been spoiled for me already which is upsetting but I can’t do anything about it. It’s one of my biggest pet peeves. I haven’t started reading the manga yet but the first season was great. Both of these are new favorites and I’d recommend them to everyone. ---

I’m not far enough to be able to recommend the manga but the anime for Zom 100 is fantastic. ---

I’ve never read Shaman King but it’s been on my list for awhile so I was happy when my partner nabbed it during our last bookstore date. It’ll be awhile before I get to it as I’m not including our other library of books which is novels but I will eventually… ---

Hmmmm. I wonder which one it is… You didn’t specifically say manga so I’m wondering if it’s one the random Tom Clancy’s in the third photo. ---

Ohhhhh I’m so dumb. Eragon. I do not recommend the illustrated edition. There are only a few illustrations total. The chapter heads have a neat illustration but they use the same one for each chapter. Not worth the price but having a big pretty hardcover is nice. ---

That sounds like a great idea! Manga has its own unique style, storytelling, and cultural influence, so having a dedicated space for discussion makes perfect sense. For those interested in expanding their reading beyond manga, I’d also recommend checking out some Korean manhwa [blacktoon comics](https://xn--ij2bx6jk1s.store/) and webtoons. A few great titles to start with: - **Solo Leveling** – A thrilling action-fantasy about a weak hunter who gains immense power. - **The Beginning After the End** – A reincarnation story with strong world-building and character development. - **Tower of God** – A deep, adventure-driven series filled with mystery and unique characters. - **Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint** – A gripping survival story where a reader finds himself inside his favorite novel. Looking forward to hearing everyone’s thoughts and recommendations! ---

Feng Shen Ji and Gosu are also really good! Feng Shen Ji is actually a manhua (Chinese) so it’s a bit different from manwhas. Based on your manwha recommendations, it seems like I have similar taste with you. What are your favourite shonen mangas?
