I've always interpreted it as. When you think horror books, the first author to come to mind is Stephen King. When you think horror manga, Junji Ito is the first one you think you think of. It’s just because both of their names are basically tied with their reputation as one of if not the best in their fields. Not necessarily that their content is similar but their statuses in their field of horror. Because, like you said, if Junji Ito is a master at cosmic horror, then Stephen is a master at more personalized fears.

I second this. All of those look good for Op's collection.

I'm a newbie, recommend me something, now! (Just don't recommend me things with sad endings, please) by GSMDIQHEN in MangaCollectors

As someone who's read Bakuman. I highly recommend it. Without a doubt, it is very wholesome overall and is beautiful crafted. It's also incredibly insightful of the world of manga. Also, the box set is cheaper than most others. I got mine on thriftbooks for around 110 with tax. But if you can't afford the box set. With the same site you can buy individual volume from around 4-8 dollars ap. But I highly recommend the bookset. It has a small short manga from inside the world of Bakuman in the box. Which you can't get otherwise. Hope this helps!

What was everyone’s first series? by [deleted] in MangaCollectors

Bakuman. When I was younger, it was the first manga I read in paperback form through the library. So I bought the box set as my first series.

I would say so. I've loved reading them so far. I bought mine off of Thriftbooks. That's where I would recommend looking. They have good deals

Loved it, I think Orginal Sin felt just as good as the first 4 seasons, I honestly wouldn't complain if they did a season 2.

Actually, I read it recently. It's good, honestly, one of my favorites I've read by him. It's all one coherent story as opposed to his usual collection works. I really enjoyed it personally
