After our top dedicated to the start of the editorial season and the favorite series of the year 2021, we present this time our favorites all years combined!
Outlaw Players
Although the theme is not unique since it has already been treated many times, Outlaw Players remains a work that will be one of our favorites! The author offers us a first volume of quality, both by a well-paced scenario and by breathtaking graphics. If you like shonen mixing action, magic and humor, we invite you to discover this series quickly.
Kasane, the face thief
Kasane, the face thief, by Daruma Matsuura. This series ended in 14 volumes is an ode to the world of theater as well as a cruel and hypnotic philosophical tale. Kasane is a talented actress, but her misshapen face closes all doors… Until the day when a cursed object allows him to override this curse. Daruma Matsuura questions the notion of beauty, good and evil, and shatters all the moral values that some pride themselves on.
Green Mechanic
Green Mechanic, by Yami Shin. First winner of the Ki-oon Springboard, this post-apocalyptic manga takes us into a neat steampunk atmosphere and incessant reversals of situation. The mangaka's full and delicate drawing makes this work unique and haunting. How will Misha, a gifted empath, escape the militiamen and monsters that prowl this city transformed into a metal dump?
Pluto
In this period dedicated to the memory of Ozamu Tezuka, it is difficult to miss one of the most beautiful reinterpretations of his works : Pluto. Directed by Naoki Urasawa and co-written by Takashi Nagasaki, the manga revisits the myth of Astro the little robot by offering a modernized version of the story arc "the strongest robot in the world". The result is a great science fiction narrative enriched with powerful philosophical and geopolitical reflections, served by a brilliant drawing.
Inspector Kurokochi
Takashi Nagasaki, Naoki Urasawa's collaborator on many series (Pluto, Monster), embarks solo on an ambitious police series. Follow the investigations of Japan's most rotten policeman. But appearances are deceptive because the officer has a very specific plan: to hunt down corruption. This series is an opportunity for its author to revisit the darkest pages of Japanese judicial and criminal history. A thriller. And you, what are the series that you particularly like? Tell us everything!
