Chainsaw Man

Chainsaw Man is what happens when a shonen battle series stops pretending it has any manners. Denji is a broke teenager drowning in debt, kept alive by his chainsaw-devil pet Pochita — until a betrayal fuses them into a creature who can pull a cord in his chest and turn into the Chainsaw Devil. Recruited by a government devil-hunting agency, he discovers his dreams are almost insultingly small: food, sleep, and maybe someone to touch him. The horror around him has other plans. Tatsuki Fujimoto writes it with a manic, unpredictable energy that swings from grotesque body-horror to deadpan comedy to sudden, genuine heartbreak, often in the same chapter. Nothing is safe and no one is protected by plot armor, which is exactly why it hooks so hard. The manga's first arc is complete and its second is ongoing; the anime adaptation covers the early story and is the gentlest way in. Read or watch — just know that Chainsaw Man is at its best when you have no idea what it's about to do next. It rarely does.

Jujutsu Kaisen

Jujutsu Kaisen is a dark-fantasy action manga that places supernatural horror within the institutions and pressures of contemporary Japan. Created by Gege Akutami, the series follows a hidden society of sorcerers who combat **Curses**—monstrous beings formed from the fear, hatred, regret, and other negative emotions produced by humanity. Its world is governed by intricate rules surrounding cursed energy, inherited techniques, binding vows, and ritualized domains, giving its battles the structure of tactical contests rather than simple clashes of strength. The story begins when exceptionally athletic high-school student [Yuji Itadori](/characters/yuji-itadori) encounters a dangerous cursed object while trying to protect his friends. Forced into an impossible decision, he swallows one of the preserved fingers of Ryomen Sukuna, a legendary sorcerer remembered as the King of Curses. Yuji survives and becomes Sukuna’s vessel, but his unusual condition brings him under the supervision of Tokyo Jujutsu High and its overwhelmingly powerful instructor, [Satoru Gojo](/characters/satoru-gojo). Blending occult mystery, body horror, gallows humor, and sharply choreographed combat, Jujutsu Kaisen became one of the defining manga successes of its generation. Akutami’s willingness to disrupt familiar heroic conventions—while examining responsibility, isolation, institutional decay, and the meaning of a worthwhile death—gave the series an unusually severe edge for a mainstream battle manga. Quick Facts

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

Demon Slayer is a story about exactly what its title promises: killing demons, and the price of doing it with your humanity intact. Tanjiro Kamado is a kind-hearted charcoal seller whose family is slaughtered by a demon while he's away — all except his sister Nezuko, who survives, but turned into a demon herself. To find a cure and avenge the rest, Tanjiro joins the Demon Slayer Corps, mastering the sword and the breathing techniques that let ordinary humans stand against creatures that heal from almost anything. Its runaway success is easy to explain once you see it move: Ufotable's adaptation turned the sword-fighting Breathing Styles into some of the most gorgeous action ever animated, and Tanjiro's relentless compassion — he grieves even for the demons he's forced to kill — gives all that spectacle a beating heart. The manga tells a complete, self-contained story; the anime is the showstopping way in and the reason the franchise became a global phenomenon. Whether you read or watch, start at the beginning — Tanjiro's first steps into the Corps set up everything the later, larger battles pay off.

Tokyo Ghoul

Tokyo Ghoul lives in the gap between human and monster, and refuses to let you look away. In a Tokyo secretly stalked by ghouls — beings who look human but survive only by eating human flesh — bookish college student Ken Kaneki goes on the wrong date and wakes up after emergency surgery as something in between: a half-ghoul, cursed with the hunger of a predator and the conscience of the prey he used to be. Sui Ishida's series is body-horror with a philosophical streak, obsessed with identity, belonging, and what a person becomes when survival demands cruelty. Kaneki's slow, agonizing transformation — physical and moral — is one of the genre's great tragic arcs, and the masked, coffee-shop underworld of Tokyo's ghouls gives it a haunting texture all its own. A note for newcomers: the manga is the definitive version — it's dark, complex, and best read in full. The anime adapts the opening stretch and diverges later, so if a scene grabs you, the pages will always take you deeper. Come ready for horror with real weight behind it.

One-Punch Man

One-Punch Man takes the entire superhero power-fantasy and detonates it with a single joke: what if the strongest hero alive were so overpowered that nothing was a challenge anymore? Saitama trained until he could end any fight with one punch — and got exactly what he wished for, along with a crushing boredom no victory can cure. Bald, unbothered, and secretly the mightiest being on the planet, he shuffles through a world of monster attacks and hero rankings looking for one opponent who can make him feel something again. The genius is that it's both a razor-sharp parody and, whenever it wants to be, a genuinely jaw-dropping action series — the fights around Saitama are enormous, and the artwork (in the webcomic-turned-manga by ONE and Yusuke Murata) is astonishing. His deadpan indifference only makes the spectacle funnier. The Murata manga is the visual showcase; the anime's first season is one of the best-looking adaptations ever made and a perfect introduction. Come for the punchline, stay for how beautifully a series can send up its own genre while outclassing most of it.

SPY x FAMILY

Spy x Family runs on one perfect premise: a master spy has to build a fake family for a mission, and every member is secretly hiding a life of their own. Codename "Twilight" needs a wife and child within days, so he adopts a young orphan and marries in a hurry — never realizing his new daughter Anya is a telepath who can read every mind in the room, and his new wife Yor is a professional assassin. None of them knows the others' secret. All of them are trying, clumsily, to be a real family anyway. Tatsuya Endo balances slick espionage, sudden bursts of action, and genuinely warm domestic comedy, with the wildly expressive Anya stealing nearly every scene. The tension between the danger of their jobs and the tenderness of their pretend home is what makes it sing — it's a spy thriller and a family sitcom that keep making each other better. The manga is ongoing and the anime is a faithful, gorgeous adaptation you can jump into cold. Funny, heartfelt, and endlessly rewatchable, Spy x Family is one of the easiest series on the site to fall for.

To Be Hero X

This is a world where heroes are created by people's trust, and the hero who gains the most trust is known as X. In this world, people's trust can be quantified through data, and these values are reflected on everyone's wrist. As long as one gains enough trust points, an ordinary person can possess superpowers and become a superhero who saves the world. However, the constantly changing trust values make the path of a hero full of uncertainties... (Source: Official To Be Hero X home page)

Bleach

Ichigo Kurosaki lives with his father and two younger sisters in Karakura Town, where his ability to see spirits is treated as an inconvenient but familiar part of daily life. That routine ends when Rukia Kuchiki enters his home while hunting a Hollow, a dead human soul transformed into a predatory monster. After Rukia is wounded, Ichigo accepts her Soul Reaper power and defeats the creature, but he absorbs far more energy than either expected. With Rukia unable to return immediately to her duties, he becomes Karakura Town’s substitute Soul Reaper. The early chapters alternate between supernatural cases and the lives of Ichigo’s classmates. [Orihime Inoue](/characters/orihime-inoue), [Yasutora Sado](/characters/yasutora-sado), and [Uryū Ishida](/characters/uryuu-ishida) become increasingly involved as spiritual disturbances awaken or reveal their own abilities. Ichigo also meets [Kisuke Urahara](/characters/kisuke-urahara), the deceptively casual proprietor of a shop supplying supernatural goods, and [Kon](/characters/kon), an artificial soul whose comic behavior conceals the unsettling purpose for which his kind was created. Rukia’s unauthorized transfer of power brings the laws of Soul Society down upon her. Ichigo and his companions cross into the afterlife to prevent her punishment, entering a fortified society governed by noble families and defended by the thirteen divisions of the Gotei 13. The rescue mission introduces captains, lieutenants, rival institutions, and long-standing political tensions, transforming the series from episodic ghost hunting into a succession of large-scale supernatural wars without abandoning Ichigo’s central determination to protect the people before him.

Tokyo Revengers

Tokyo Revengers straps a time-travel thriller to a delinquent-gang drama and pulls it off. Takemichi Hanagaki is a broke, spineless twenty-something at rock bottom when he learns his middle-school girlfriend — the only person who ever believed in him — has been killed by a violent gang. Then, inexplicably, he's thrown twelve years into the past, back into his own teenage body, with a chance to change the events that doom her. Saving her means infiltrating the gang and rewriting its future from the inside. Ken Wakui blends the raw, brawling energy of a delinquent manga with the ticking dread of a time loop, where every trip to the past reshuffles a future Takemichi doesn't fully control. Its heart is his growth from a crybaby who gives up into someone willing to bleed for the people he loves. The manga tells the complete story, and the anime adapts its arcs with the same propulsive momentum. Come for the time-travel hook; stay for a surprisingly moving story about second chances and the friends worth fighting for.
