8. Osen - Shota Kikuchi. I'm sad I never met anyone who read his work before. But his line works and a passion for Japanese culinary is so fascinating. His recent series " Ruri and King of Cooking" is such a gem too ✨ If anyone is interested in Japanese food history, this is it.

9. Bananafish - Akimi Yoshida. Anime was great too but manga has way more intimacy and style change transition through out the series is just beautiful. It's about a war with mafia boss and young gang leader + Japanese boy in NY. Make sure to read " Garden of Light" afterwards.

10. Genius Family Company - Tomoko Ninomiya. ( who did Nodame Cantabile ) another underrated comic of hers. About a gifted, petty and egocentric high schooler, intends to work in the high financial world but with his mom's remarriage, his life turn into jeopardy ? It's sooo good

11. Nabari no Ou - Yuki Kamatani. Supernatural ninja stories with apathetic high school student finding a true friendship. Lineworks are just gorgeous... Also "Shonen note" (♫??)and "Our Dreams at Dusk" (?️‍?) is great too.

Nausicaa Valley of the wind - Hayao Miyazaki. I'm still surprised that people don't know about the original comic. It's so good! The movie only covers 1/3 of the comic so if you haven't read it, your mind gonna be blown away ? ( My perspective on movie changed afterwards )
