What's up, guys? It's that time again for my monthly manga hall. I've gotten a lot of unexpected and exciting finds. I can't wait to show you guys, so let's get into it
0:09
First up is Hell's Paradise Volume 12. One more volume to go. That's going to be the final volume, and then this one will be complete
0:16
I also picked up Record of Ragnarok, Volume 1. Before Viz announced this one, it was one of my most wanted releases, so I'm extremely happy that it's finally getting one
0:25
It's one of the most adrenaline-inducing manga I've ever read, and the art is something to behold
0:30
It has a relatively simple premise with gods battling out against humans in a tournament
0:34
but is executed in a way that makes it all feel so grand. The Hellbound Volume 1 is a new arrival from Dark Horse
0:40
They went all out with these covers. They are matte, but have glossy details in the art, is really cool
0:46
San Ho Yian, who you may know as the director of one of my favorites, trained to Busan, wrote this one so needless to say I was so excited for its release
0:53
The Mamma is originally in black and white, so you see that recreated here, and the print quality is amazing
0:57
A supernatural story with elements of horror, conspiracies, and a cult, this one's just right up my alley
1:04
The final volume of Steinsgate Zero also arrived. I got the Barnes & Noble exclusives for the previous volume, so I did the same for three as well
1:11
The newest volume at Jojo's Volume 3 of Golden Wind came in also, as well as volume 14, of Jizu Kaisen
1:18
The cover of this one, which features Sukina is a new favorite of mine. Volume 9 of Chain Sommi and Kamen 2, this is another that I'm, of course, picking up as it releases
1:25
A new one I got into this month is Twin Star Exorcists
1:29
I picked up all the way through Volume 24, which I believe is all of the volumes of the series
1:33
I've been released so far. I've seen this one on the shelf went out shopping multiple times and just knew it's one I would
1:39
enjoy, and man, I was right. You guys probably know that I love Shonan that have a darker edge to them, but I also love
1:45
ones that have strong characters and interesting dynamics. And Twin Star Exorcists is just that
1:50
More Jojo's also arrived from Wright Stuff. I ordered all of Jojos a while ago during their holiday sale
1:55
but some volumes were out of stock at the time. A few restocked recently so I got volumes 2 4 5 and 9 of Diamond is Unbreakable I finally found volume 1 of Kakehi at half books I feel like I been in search of this one for so long Now I just need to find volume 14 and the series will be complete
2:12
Volume 6 of Hiding Closer by Haro Asso also arrived. So this one is now complete in my collection
2:18
I can't believe these next ones restocked on Amazon, volumes 3, 4, and 5 of Pluto
2:23
This one is now complete as well so I can finally read it. Another surprising Amazon restock
2:29
A lot of the 20th Century Boy singles restocked, which I couldn't believe
2:33
I recently found 1 in 7 at half price, so I picked up all the ones I could at retail volumes 8 through 16, 20, and 21
2:40
Looks like some are still in stock on Amazon at the time of this video if you're still in search of them
2:45
No Gun's Life is another series I'm getting into. I picked up volumes 1 through 6 and 8 through 11
2:51
I accidentally forgot to order 7 somehow, so I need to do that ASAP as well as 12, which just came out
2:57
It's set in a futuristic dystopian society where people modify their bodies essentially into weapons
3:03
Oh, and the main character has a gun for a head, so it's got this sci-fi, cyberpunk-esque thing going for it that I love
3:09
By the way, another manga to look out for if you were into this one is Colorless by Kent
3:14
which is releasing this year. I own a lot of the Gaunt singles, but I'm missing one that's an Omnibus 8
3:19
so I decided to pick it up in the meantime until I track the single I'm still in need of down
3:24
You guys may have heard me say this before, that I'm currently learning Japanese, so I picked up some series I eventually want to read, one of those series being
3:31
Gants E that's set in feudal Japan. It's essentially Gons was samurai, so I couldn't pass it up
3:37
The story in this one is written by Hiroyo Oku, but the art is done by Jin Kigetsu, and even though
3:42
the art isn't done by Oku himself, is still incredibly amazing as an extremely well-done series
3:47
Vinland Saga 3 and 12 were the final two volumes I needed of the series, so I'm finally caught up
3:52
with this one. That is until 13 comes out in October. Another series, Planet
3:57
I hope I'm saying that right, Omnibus's 1 and 2 by Makoto Yuki Murah came in
4:02
I have the first Tokyo Pop volume of this one too. If you guys would like to see a comparison video of the two editions please let me know in the comments below Man this next one is one that I have been in search of for so long and I didn ever expect to see it on a shelf in the wild
4:16
But I walked into half-priced books one day, and there it was. Zachbel volumes 1 through 4
4:21
I still have a long way to go, though, because I'm missing 21 volumes, and it's severely out of print, but exciting nonetheless
4:27
Viz discontinued this one, so I really hope it gets picked up again someday. Someone must have been a fan of Makato Ryku because they also dropped off volumes 1 through 6 of
4:35
animal land. It's set in a place called Animal Country, a country where a man does not exist
4:40
and animals roam the land until one day a raccoon finds a human baby and decides to become
4:45
his mother. It's one that seems really quirky, which I love, so I picked it up also
4:49
Another half-price find was Caj of Eden Volume 1, one I've been wanting to get into
4:54
Ended a plane with a group of students on it crashes into an unknown world where animals not known
4:59
previously to man exist. It's a survival adventure story, but it's an H.E. as well, so it interests me
5:04
One Punch Me in Volume 10 is one I've been waiting to ship out for like three months and it finally did
5:10
For some reason, I was missing that specific volume, but now I'm caught up. I also got more Japanese volumes in from Kino Kini
5:17
If you saw my most recent video where I talk about the manga I want to see printed with English translation, most, you know I love Rikudo
5:23
It's one of the best boxing manga to come out within quite some time. It's dark, hits hard emotionally with fights that hit hard as well
5:30
So I picked up volumes 1 through 5. Dondon is one that I also had in my most wanting
5:34
list because it is one of my favorite new releases, but it was recently announced by Viz that it's
5:39
getting a print release with English translation in the fall of 2022, which is super exciting
5:44
I picked up Volume 1 in hopes to read it one day, but it will be great to compare it with
5:48
the English volume when it arrives. Blue Lock Volume 1 is another I picked up before it was announced that it would be getting
5:53
a print release with English translation this summer. It will be good to have both, though, since I'm learning Japanese
5:59
Football is my favorite sport, but Blue Lock is different from any other football manga I've ever read before
6:04
It's exciting, action-pack, suspenseful with a great cast of characters and it always keeps you on the edge of your seat
6:11
Plus it does an incredible job at conveying what it feels like to play the sport whether it be the sound of the ball hitting the back of the net the feeling when your foot hits the ball etc You can really feel what those players are feeling and the motion that comes through with it Jigan is another
6:24
I long to own someday with English translation. Not sure when that will happen, hopefully soon
6:29
but until then I picked up lines 1 through 8 on Kino Kenea. Jigan is one of my favorite manga
6:35
The writer of the series also wrote Blue Lock as well as others I love like Kami Samma Noeotori
6:39
He's one of my favorite creators and I highly recommend checking out all of his works
6:44
I also got in Togun Anki volumes 1 through 7. These are all of the volumes that have been released in Japan so far
6:50
This one is currently being released right now. It's an up-and-coming Shonan that I love, not just because it has an edge to it
6:56
but also because it has a unique style that I really enjoy. It's very similar to how I felt about another series Black Torch
7:02
which I wish wouldn't have been canceled, by the way. Here's hoping Togun Anki continues to grow in popularity because I really enjoy it so far
7:09
and it has immense potential. Out of all the mug I got this month, though
7:13
this next find is my favorite. Reborn volumes 1 through 4, 6, 7, 9, 10, 15, and 16
7:20
I paid full aftermarket price for one of these volumes, but the rest were priced really cheap
7:25
and I had a 10% off coupon, so I got these for an absolute steal
7:29
So much so I felt like I was robbing the store. These are on the shelf with the Zochbell volumes I got
7:34
so needless to say, this half-price Books Hall is one of my favorites today
7:39
This is another that was never fully released with English translation and was discontinued by Viz
7:44
I hope someone picks it up again and fully releases the series because it deserves it
7:48
Amazing character designs. It has some of my favorite art, but it's also one of my favorite stories
7:52
A shonen about the mafia and characters with superpowers, can you really go wrong
7:57
Also, if you aren't familiar with Akira and Mano, as well as being the creator of mini manga from Reborn to Ron Kamano Hashi to Range Detectives
8:04
she also did the character designs for Psychopasses anime. She's awesome and I highly recommend checking out her works
8:10
If you thought this manga hall was exciting, you are going to want to check out this video next
8:14
And that's it, guys. Thank you so much as always for watching. What manga did you guys pick up last month
