You Oughta Read One-Punch Man

In a world where the greatest threat to humanity can erupt from the ground without the minorest warning, wielding supreme power would be supremely useful. No training arcs needed. You just strut up to the baddie, flick them in the nose, and the world is saved. Such is the luxury afforded to Saitama, a man …

You Oughta Read Dr. Stone

Science is baaadass. Take a look around at our modern world and you'll see all the incredible things it's brought us: refrigeration, indoor heating, prescription glasses, cars, airplanes, bicycles, tricycles, the ability to troll some fourteen-year-old on the opposite side of the world, and a way for doctors to pump-start your heart with their bare …

You Oughta Read Bottom-Tier Character Tomozaki

Life is a shitty game. This is the thesis of Tomozaki's monologue opening the first volume. Take a look around. Notice who people are. The beautiful are beautiful, the rich are rich, the athletic are athletic. Traits are immutable. If you're a grouch, you can't just will yourself into a philanthropist. Who you are is …

However, the artwork rarely …

Love is one of the sweetest things a person can experience. From the heart palpitations to the gastrointestinal irritability we get whenever we see the apple of our eye, love colors the world opal and can pull a jig out of a guy on the subway. It reminds us that, no matter the mistakes we've …

You Oughta Read Bakuman

Dreams are wonderful things that give us a reason for getting out of bed when coffee isn't cutting it, and for Moritaka Mashiro, he dreams of drawing a manga that's adapted into an anime, with his junior high crush, Miho Azuki, voicing the heroine. Pairing up with Akito Takagi, who has his own dream of …

You Oughta Read Spy x Family

Spy fiction is so deeply coded into the DNA of western culture that I'm surprised mothers aren't spitting out top-secret agents, yet it's a genre I've never taken the slightest interest in. Infiltrating an enemy base and saving the day and the dame sounds thrilling and all, but I always took more toward those huge, …
