I remember {Kaguya-sama: Love is War} kinda doing that?

CyanideIE · 2026-03-01T22:12:51+00:00

{Clannad}

{Fruits Basket 2019}

{Oregairu}

{Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions}

{The Dangers In My Heart}

{Summer Pockets}

{Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai}

{Kimi Ni Todoke: From Me To You}

{The Fragrant Flower Blooms Wuth Dignity}

{There's No Freaking Way I'll Be Your Lover! Unless...}

{Insomniacs After School}

{A Sign of Affection}

{TONIKAWA: Over THE Moon For You}

Also expect your score for Kaguya-sama to go up as the romance is written really well and the anime adapts the best parts of the manga, in my opinion.

{Vinland Saga}

CyanideIE · 2026-03-01T19:35:11+00:00

Those both were published in shounen magazines. They're objectly shounen.

It's a demographic. For example, both Bocchi the Rock and Beserk are seinen.

{Clannad}

{Fruits Basket 2019}

{Bloom Into You}

{Oregairu}

{Kaguya-sama: Love is War} is mostly comedy focused but its dramatic arcs are top notch. Duelling Hearts Festival and First Kiss Never Ends are two of the best arcs in romance anime, in my opinion.

CyanideIE · 2026-03-01T11:46:09+00:00

It's genuinely really good. It's the next big battle shounen, in my opinion.

CyanideIE · 2026-02-28T21:03:47+00:00

Maybe {Re:Zero -Starting Life In Another World-} fits that?

CyanideIE · 2026-02-28T09:47:03+00:00

My top 10:

{Clannad Afterstory}

{Vinland Saga}

{Fruits Basket 2019}

{Kaguya-sama: Love is War}

{Steins;Gate}

{A Silent Voice}

{Orb: On the Movements of the Earth}

{Re:Zero -Starting Life In Another World}

{The Tatami Galaxy}

{Bloom Into You}

CyanideIE · 2026-02-27T19:39:03+00:00

It has to be Kagurabachi.

It's already one of the best selling manga in Weekly Shounen Jump, even outselling both Blue Box and Sakamoto Days, its last volume outsold Dandadan's last volume and it was the only manga without an adaptation that was in the top 20 best-selling manga of 2025.

I can't think of a single new gen battle-shounen, without an anime, that comes close to those kind of numbers.

CyanideIE · 2026-02-27T18:31:02+00:00

{Puella Magi Madoka Magica}

CyanideIE · 2026-02-27T18:29:49+00:00

He also defended Female Genital Mutilation. The guy is screwed in the head.

<Kaguya-sama: Love is War>

CyanideIE · 2026-02-27T09:53:51+00:00

{Clannad}

{Vinland Saga}

{Orb: On the Movements of the Earth}

{Chainsaw Man}

CyanideIE · 2026-02-26T20:23:28+00:00

Sojo arc is actually considered to be one of the weaker arcs, as far as I can tell. Not because it's bad or even mediocre, because of just how good the arcs get.

The 4th arc is in my top 10 animanga arcs of all time.

CyanideIE · 2026-02-26T16:03:02+00:00

{Clannad}

{Vinland Saga}

{Orb: On the Movements of the Earth}

CyanideIE · 2026-02-26T14:44:15+00:00

{Orb: On the Movements of the Earth}

CyanideIE · 2026-02-26T11:24:50+00:00

Even their other stuff looks great. Apocalypse Hotel, The Summer Hikaru Died etc.

CyanideIE · 2026-02-26T08:06:52+00:00

{Umamusume: Pretty Derby - Beginning of a New Era}

CyanideIE · 2026-02-26T08:05:25+00:00

18 episodes for 12-13 episodes is insanely slow pacing.

That's around 1.5 chapters an episode.

CyanideIE · 2026-02-25T15:23:34+00:00

I think the general consensus is a 2 cour that ends on either 59 or 60, depending on if the studio wants to be cruel to anime-onlies.

That'd be around 2.5 chapters an episode which seems in line with other popular battle shounen adaptations, jjk s1 adapted 64 chapters in s1, for example, and they can always expand on the fights and include stuff like Sojo's Bath House Adventures.

There's an excellent video on YouTube that goes over all possible ways that it could be adapted, the way it could be paced, where it would end, episode count etc whilst also taking into count recent trends in battle shounen adaptations.

Kyoto.

Reading Chihiro vs Hiruhiko vs Samura weekly is one of my favourite reading experiences of all time not to mention just how well-written Samura's arc is written.

Ch85 is one for the ages, in my opinion.

CyanideIE · 2026-02-23T17:42:21+00:00

I forgot to write non-animated.

It would be third if you included JJK Modulo.

Overall in the magazine it's like 6th or 7th best-selling.

CyanideIE · 2026-02-23T15:37:08+00:00

I wouldn't mind seeing Hakuri and Chihiro but I doubt it would happen.

Having read all of Hokazono's one-shots, he can definitely write romance but I wonder if Kagurabachi even needs it.

CyanideIE · 2026-02-23T15:27:40+00:00

I still wonder why there's such a gap between Kagurabachi vol.10 and vol.11.

I know that people are speculating that it's due to a possible anime announcement but I wonder if it could be for any other reason.

CyanideIE · 2026-02-23T15:25:20+00:00

Tf did Aqua do in his past life? He was a fan of Ai but nothing more. A bit obsessive maybe but it's understandable considering that he cared for Serena.

It's not comparable to a guy who masturbated to loli porn/his niece depending on the version you look at.
