Whether it's anime, [manga](https://www.cbr.com/tag/manga/), video games, music, TV dramas, or light novels, Japanese entertainment has taken over the world. Manga, in particular, has significantly increased in popularity in recent years, with millions of readers worldwide scrambling to get their hands on the latest chapter of their favorite series. The biggest and most popular series tend to cash in millions of dollars and maintain a stronghold in global best-selling charts, while simultaneously inspiring future generations of mangaka to keep the momentum going.

Anime adaptations don't always tell the full story, and in some cases, they dump in tons of filler episodes that include characters or events that never happened in the manga. Fans rely on manga to get the full picture as the creator originally intended for it to be seen. Manga is also more accessible because it isn't locked behind paywalls or streaming rights debacles. There's always a debate about which manga are the greatest of all time, but fans tend to agree on many of the most outstanding manga titles.

_**Updated on August 30, 2024, by Antonio Samson:** With so many manga, there is something for everyone to enjoy. However, some are staples that everyone should check out. This article was updated to meet CBR's editorial and formatting standards._

## 50  Grand Blue Dreaming Is A Hysterical Comedy About College And SCUBA Diving

### Status: Ongoing

![Chisa Kotegawa is with friends in seinen series best manga art Grand Blue](https://static1.cbrimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/grand-blue.jpg)

### Grand Blue Dreaming Scores:

- MyAnimeList: 9.03
- Anime Planet: 4.34/5

[![The Bronze Saints transform in Saint Seiya](https://static1.cbrimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/the-bronze-saints-transform-in-saint-seiya.jpg)](/thread/what-was-the-first-manga-you-read/) Related

##### [What Was The First Manga You Read?](/thread/what-was-the-first-manga-you-read/ "What Was The First Manga You Read?")

Saint Seiya was my gateway into the world of manga, and I read it in French. I remember being captivated as a child by the artwork and the epic battles between the Bronze Saints and their cosmic adversaries. The series introduced me to the rich mythology and fascinating characters that have become hallmarks of the genre. In a way, it sparked my lifelong love for manga and anime, shaping my taste for storytelling and visual narratives.

_Grand Blue_, released in the West under the title _Grand Blue Dreaming_, is an outstanding comedy manga series that's all about the wild freedom of college life. Protagonist Iori Kitahara has just moved to Japan's coast to start his college career, where he will **join the local diving club,** drink way too much beer, and make a fool of himself almost daily.

_Grand Blue Dreaming_ is one of the best manga out there thanks to its refreshing college setting, razor-sharp humor, great illustrations, and most of all, its juvenile yet sympathetic main characters. Iori and his friends may be irresponsible party animals, but they're still decent people who just need a chance to figure themselves out and build meaningful friendships, placing it at the bottom of our best manga ranking.

![Main characters in the manga Grand Blue Dreaming 2014 poster](https://static1.cbrimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/grand-blue-dreaming.jpeg)

##### Grand Blue Dreaming

Original Title: ぐらんぶる.

The story follows Iori Kitahara, a freshman at Izu University who joins his diving club, Peek Divers. However, he soon discovers that the club is more interested in drinking and partying than actual diving. Despite this, Iori and his childhood friend, Kohei Aizawa, decide to stick with the club and eventually learn to love diving.

## 49  Fist Of The North Star Features Brutal Martial Arts In A Post-Apocalyptic Setting

### Status: Complete

![Fist of the North Star protagonist Kenshiro is against a colorful background.](https://static1.cbrimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/fotn.jpg)

### Fist of the North Star Scores:

- MyAnimeList: 8.11
- Anime Planet: 4.08/5

_Fist of the North Star_ comfortably ranks among the best manga series from the 1980s, and it helped lay the foundation for many early modern shōnen titles in the 1990s and 2000s. This brutal series clearly took a few cues from the _Mad Max_ movies and combined that with bone-breaking martial arts to create something entirely new.

Protagonist Kenshiro is a **martial artist who wields Hokuto Shinken,** or an acupuncture-based fighting style, in battle. He will rove a bandit-ridden, post-apocalyptic wasteland meting out bloody justice on those who would harm others, all while fighting to resolve some serious drama about who should be Hokuto Shinken's true successor. The story of _Fist of the North Star_ roughly follows a "monster of the week" formula, but it also has an overarching story of Kenshiro fighting alongside — or against — his own brothers.

![Kenshiro standing with thunder striking behind him on Fist of the North Star manga poster](https://static1.cbrimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/fist-of-the-north-star.jpeg)

##### Fist of the North Star

The year is 199X. The Earth has been devastated by nuclear war. The seas have dried up and the land is cracked and desolate. Most living things on the planet have become extinct apart from the human race. In this new age violence rules as civilization is lost and the strong rule the weak in a world where food and water are the only thing with value. At this time a mysterious man named Kenshirou appears with his deadly martial art, the 2000 years old Hokuto Shinken. With his deadly style eliminating the evil is he the savior of the new era?

## 48  A Silent Voice Deals With Bullying And The Struggle To Communicate

### Status: Complete

![Shoya and Shoko stand outside with their classmates in A Silent Voice.](https://static1.cbrimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/A-Silent-Voice.jpg)

### A Silent Voice Scores:

- MyAnimeList: 8.86
- Anime Planet: 4.42/5

The original _A Silent Voice_, which inspired an anime movie of the same name, is one of the best romance manga for readers who wish to explore **themes like bullying, forgiveness, and self-acceptance**. Protagonist Shoya Ishida is introduced as a noxious sixth-grade bully who torments classmate Shoko Nishimiya, and then they part ways.

In 12th grade, Shoya is determined to make up for what he's done, but getting forgiveness from his classmates, or himself, won't be easy. Still, Shoko may be ready to give Shoya another chance, and she might even have special feelings for him — if she can communicate them with her silent voice. _A Silent Voice_ is often regarded as one of the best anime movies of all, but fans who want to dig deeper into the story and its characters are encouraged to read the seven-volume manga series

## 47  20th Century Boys Is A Bizarre Thriller With A Mysterious Supervillain

### Status: Complete

![20th Century Boys image shows the villain looking at the world.](https://static1.cbrimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/20th-century-boys-feature-header.jpg)

### 20th Century Boys Scores:

- MyAnimeList: 8.95
- Anime Planet: 4.37/5

_20th Century Boys_ is one of author Naoki Urasawa's most defining works, and it should appeal to fans who enjoy thriller stories with mysteries and conspiracies to drive the plot. In 1960s Japan, a group of young boys form their own club, with a special symbol for their "Friend." Then, around the turn of the millennium, "Friend" will come to life.

The mysterious Friend seems to be **a man who's about to turn the world upside down** with his doomsday cult and ambitious schemes, and the adult friends aren't sure how or even if they can stop him. In some ways, _20th Century Boys_ should remind fans of Stephen King's _IT_, except it replaces horror with a race against time to stop a schemer who's about to remake the whole world.

![20th Century Boys manga poster](https://static1.cbrimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/20th-century-boys.jpg)

##### 20th Century Boys

In 20th Century Boys, a group of childhood friends, led by Kenji, create a secret base with a Book of Prophecy outlining a future where they save the world from destruction. Decades later, Kenji discovers a cult led by "Friend" planning a catastrophic event resembling their childhood scenario. Kenji and his friends uncover a plot to destroy the world on New Year's Eve 2000 using a giant robot, but Kenji sacrifices himself to stop it. Fourteen years later, Kenji's niece Kanna becomes embroiled in a complex conspiracy involving mafia groups, the Friends, and a plan to eliminate most of humanity. The story unfolds with political intrigue, the mysterious resurrection of Friend, and a global viral outbreak threatening mankind.

## 46  March Comes In Like A Lion Is A Beautiful Story About Depression And The Need For Family

### Status: Ongoing

![manga cover shows rei and the sisters in march comes in like a lion](https://static1.cbrimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/March-Comes-Like-A-Lion-Chika-Umino.jpg)

### March Comes In Like A Lion Scores:

- MyAnimeList: 8.87
- AnimePlanet: 4.28/5

Chica Umino’s _March Comes In Like A Lion_ is a great manga that’s bound to break every reader’s heart through the sheer mountains of trauma they’ll experience. The series follows Rei Kiriyama, a **genius shogi student that’s struggling to keep it together** thanks to his troubled outside life. Fortunately, he meets the Kawamoto sisters, three young girls who offer the support Rei needs.

_March Comes In Like A Lion_ is a reminder that manga can be more than just action scenes or comedy. Rei is a relatable character, struggling with depression and isolation and trying to find some manner of meaning in his life. Not only beautifully written, it’s an artistic marvel that longtime manga fans will eat up because of the visual storytelling.

Suddenly, she **became the Mikage shrine's new land god.** At the shrine, Nanami meets Tomoe, a stubborn fox familiar who refuses to acknowledge her as his new boss. However, Tomoe eventually softens to Nanami in one of anime's greatest love stories.

##### Kamisama Kiss

Nanami Momozono, facing eviction due to her father's gambling debts, encounters a man named Mikage, who gifts her his shrine home as thanks for saving him from a dog. To her surprise, the home is a shrine for worship, and she learns she has inherited the position of Land God from Mikage. Living with the shrine's keepers, Onikiri and Kotetsu, and Tomoe, Mikage's familiar, Nanami reluctantly embraces her role as the new Land God. Over time, she works hard to fulfill her divine duties and gradually falls in love with Tomoe, despite the taboo nature of a human-yokai romance. Simultaneously, Tomoe, too, begins to develop feelings for Nanami

## 44  Ashita No Joe Is A 20th Century Classic About Boxing

### Status: Complete

![Joe Yabuki from Ashita No Joe looks melancholic](https://static1.cbrimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/ashitanojoe.jpg)

### Ashita No Joe Scores:

- MyAnimeList: 8.94
- Anime Planet: 4.22/5

_Ashita no Joe_ tells the story of Joe Yabuki, a Bantamweight boxer whose career started from the bottom. A jailed criminal, Joe is **determined to become a professional fighter** and undergoes an intense journey to get there. _Ashita no Joe_ documents Joe's best moments as well as his most difficult emotional battles — often against himself.

_Ashita no Joe_ may be from the 1960s, but it is the blueprint for modern sports anime. Joe's passion for boxing resonated with post-war Japan, who felt inspired by this hero. Since _Ashita no Joe_, sports anime make a point of being as inspiring as possible for their audience. Fans might also say that the hit boxing series _Hajime no Ippo_, itself one of the best manga series of all time, owes a lot to the groundwork laid by _Ashita no Joe_.

![Ashita no Joe (1968) manga cover art poster](https://static1.cbrimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/ashita-no-joe.jpeg)

##### Ashita No Joe

Joe Yabuki, a young drifter, encounters former boxing trainer Danpei Tange and ends up in a juvenile detention center, where he develops a rivalry with boxing prodigy Tōru Rikiishi. After their first match ends in a double knockout, they promise to meet again as professional boxers. Joe, facing challenges due to his lack of education, rises through the ranks, earning the right to face Rikiishi in a professional bout. Rikiishi wins the match but dies from the effects of extreme weight loss. Traumatized, Joe struggles with fear but overcomes it, eventually facing World Champion José Mendoza in a brutal match where Joe seemingly ages the champion with his resilience. The manga's ending remains ambiguous, leaving fans to debate whether Joe survived or died in the final scene.

## 43  Kuroko's Basketball Stars A Scrappy Underdog Basketball Player

![Seirin basketball team poses in Kuroko's Basketball's manga.](https://static1.cbrimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/seirin-in-kuroko-s-basketball-s-manga.jpg)

### Kuroko's Basketball Scores:

- MyAnimeList: 8.11
- Anime Planet: 4.23/5

_Kuroko's Basketball_, written and illustrated by Tadatoshi Fujimaki, is one of the **most influential modern sports manga** series of all time. Packed with unbelievably overpowered super moves, _Kuroko's Basketball_ combines shōnen's most contrived tropes with innovative execution by turning average high school basketball players into semi-superheroes.

_Kuroko's Basketball_ follows the titular Tetsuya Kuroko after enrolling at Seirin High to play basketball. He's short, weak, and has no presence on the court. However, that's his greatest advantage. He teams up with Kagami, a talented player who got his start playing street ball in the United States. Kuroko vows to be Kagami's shadow behind his light to make him the best player in Japan and defeat the Generation of Miracles.

![Kuroko's Basketball cover art poster](https://static1.cbrimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/kuroko-s-basketball.jpeg)

##### Kuroko's Basketball

After dominating middle school basketball as the 'Generation of Miracles,' the star players, including the mysterious sixth man Tetsuya Kuroko, disperse to different high schools. Kuroko and the naturally talented Taiga Kagami aim to make Seirin High the top basketball team in Japan by challenging Kuroko's former teammates one by one. Seirin faces Ryota Kise's team, securing a victory with Kuroko's unique skills. In the Interhigh preliminaries, they confront Shintaro Midorima's Shutoku, winning despite tough opposition. Their winning streak ends against Daiki Aomine's Touhou Academy, leading to their elimination from the Interhigh. However, with the addition of Kiyoshi Teppei, Seirin prepares for the Winter Cup, where they tie with Shutoku in the preliminaries and secure a spot by defeating Kirisaki Daichi, setting the stage for further challenges.

## 42  Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin Retells The First Gundam's Story

### Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin Scores:

- MyAnimeList: 8.52
- Anime Planet:4.06/5

_Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin_’s anime focuses entirely on the backstory of Casval Rem Deikun, the man who becomes Char Aznable. However, Yoshikazu Yasuhiko’s manga version is an **expanded retelling of the classic _Mobile Suit Gundam_ story.** Char’s story is still a major part of things, but it’s just one part of an effective re-adaptation of the One Year War.

_Gundam: The Origin_ is the ideal way for any fan to get into Gundam. Since it updates the dialogue and art for a new era, it’s not off-putting to people who can’t find themselves getting into anime from the 1970s. At the same time though, it’s a celebration of the classic story, so old-school fans can read this and enjoy it for the expanded detail it offers. It’s also just a delight to read, as Yasuhiko has the unique skill of knowing how to make mecha look cool while also giving expressive features to all his human characters.

## 41  Apothecary Diaries Deals With The Adventures Of A Royal Food Taster

![Manga cover of The Apothecary Diaries (Kusuriya no Hitorigoto) features Maomao.](https://static1.cbrimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Kusuriya-no-Hitorigoto-1.jpg)

### Apothecary Diaries Scores:

- MyAnimeList: 8.60
- Anime Planet: 4.45/5

Natsu Hyuuga and Nekokurage’s _Apothecary Diaries_ was a brilliant manga long before it was one of the best anime of Fall 2023. The series centers on Maomao, a seventeen-year-old girl who enjoyed a life working at an apothecary before being kidnapped and forced to **work in the emperor’s court as a serving girl**. Though she simply wants to finish her time there and go back to a regular life, in the end she finds a higher calling after Jinshi, one of the court’s eunuchs, recognizes her talents and employs her as a professional food taster.

Maomao is a joy to watch in every scene she’s in. It's more than just her being clever; she’s unlike the usual protagonists in imperial court dramas. She’s got no interest in romance, caring more about learning more about medicines and creating new concoctions in her spare time. Still, _Apothecary Diaries_ offers some pretty engrossing intrigue for readers who care about it, evolving beyond just the expected problem-of-the-week scenarios quickly to make a must-read seinen manga.

He **joins the Armed Detective Agency** to help them solve elite mysteries too complex for even the military police. Though Atsushi is the protagonist, _Bungo Stray Dogs_ is defined by side characters like the darkly complex Osamu Dazai as they investigate bizarre mysteries that no one else could possibly solve, placing it at the number 40 spot in our ranking.

## 39  Ranma 1/2 Popularized The Gender-Bending Genre

![Ranma Saotome from Ranma 1/2 is grimacing fiercely.](https://static1.cbrimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/ranma-boy-type-hq.jpg)

### Ranma 1/2 Scores:

- MyAnimeList: 7.98
- Anime Planet: 4.01/5

Rumiko Takahashi is one of the most prolific authors of all time, having created seminal works in the ‘80s, ‘90s, and even the early 2000s. A strong argument can be made for any of them as one of the best manga ever made, but _Ranma ½_ in particular deserves recognition for how it affected anime and manga alike. The series focuses on Ranma Saotome, a young martial artist who dived into a cursed spring and now changes gender if he’s exposed to hot or cold water.

By [challenging gender norms in anime](https://www.cbr.com/ranma-challenged-gender-norms-anime/), _Ranma ½_ is a large part of how **“gender-bending” manga achieved such massive popularity** over the years. Fans of shōnen manga can expect a perfect blend of sidesplitting comedy hijinx with some martial arts scenes that could give early _Dragon Ball_ a run for its money. Even fans of the anime should check out the manga, just to get the full experience of the story.

## 37  Case Closed Is Perfect For Sherlock Holmes Fans

### Status: Ongoing

![Detective Conan is dressed as Sherlock Holmes and holding a pipe on a manga cover](https://static1.cbrimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Detective-Conan-Manga.jpg)

### Case Closed Scores:

- MyAnimeList: 8.29
- Anime Planet: 4.17/5

_Case Closed_, written and illustrated by Gosho Aoyama, is a classic shonen manga that's been ongoing since 1994. [_Case Closed_, or _Detective Conan_](https://www.cbr.com/great-police-anime/#detective-conan-1996), follows Shinichi Kudo after he's transformed into a child while **investigating a shady organization.**

_Case Closed_ isn't the average mystery series. There's a certain campiness to its plot and characters that gives the series more charm than some of its counterparts. Readers can solve mysteries alongside Shinichi, and the manga has so many plot twists that predicting where it'll head next is impossible.

### Oshi no Ko Scores:

- MyAnimeList: 8.51
- Anime Planet: 4.31/5

Aka Akasaka and Mengo Yokoyari’s _Oshi no Ko_ is easily one of the most unique ideas for a story ever. A doctor that’s a fan of an idol pop star named Ai Hoshino **suffers an untimely death at the hands of Ai’s stalker.** However, the doctor is reincarnated — as Ai Hoshino’s son, Aquamarine. What starts as an ideal new life soon goes down a dark path, transforming Aquamarine into someone different.

Despite its strange premise, _Oshi no Ko_ takes hold of readers from chapter one and doesn’t let them go. It isn’t just a compelling mystery, but witnessing how unraveling the mystery destroys nearly everyone connected to it. It’s also not afraid of tough subjects, criticizing the very nature of the idol industry and celebrity in general.

Along the way, Tanjiro will see the heart-wrenching truth for himself: that demons were all once human, and many still have a human heart buried deep in them. Tanjiro knows from his sister's example that demons can be sympathetic beings, yet he must slay them for duty's sake, a heavy emotional burden for him to bear.
