Taste
Both Dandandan by Yukinobu Tatsu and Jujutsu Kaisen are sci-fi action manga that go against the traditional norms of shōnen series. Despite their outlandish storylines, both mangas effectively captivate fans with their supernatural elements and intense action scenes.
Momo Ayase and Ken Takakura come from different perspectives on the existence of aliens and the paranormal, but they are unexpectedly thrust into a blizzard adventure after experiencing a supernatural encounter.
Hunter x Hunter
Over time, Yoshihiro Togashi’s Hunter x Hunter has gained a loyal fan base due to its captivating storyline and well-developed characters. The series centers around Gon’s quest to become a hunter, reunite with his father, and form lasting bonds.
Fans of shonen series that balance enjoyable elements with mature themes and interesting side characters should not miss out on this one. Additionally, the expansive world-building leaves room for countless mysteries and opportunities waiting to be explored.
Berserk
The apex of the seinen manga that will be etched in the minds of readers for years to come. The excruciating trials endured by the characters, expertly crafted antagonists, and catastrophic storytelling are all elements that resonate with fans of JJK.
Following Miura’s passing, Kouji Mori took over the series and continued to oversee it.
Chainsaw Man
This shōnen horror action will leave you craving for more.
Chainsaw Man is often compared to Jujutsu Kaisen due to its supernatural world, unconventional protagonists, and unapologetically brutal character deaths, which can be distressing for fans.
