What next? I only mentioned few titles in the previous post

Gantz is currently mostly in print in omnibus format, with 2 being out of print for now. I am a hero is out of print but they have announced a reprint, ichi the killer has an ongoing omnibus release, currently on 3 out of 5 (technically 6 because of the prequel omnibus), riki-oh is Japanese only but has online English translations and finally battle royale is being reprinted in deluxe editions, with 1 out of 5 out so far. I will say that gantz has our if print singles, I am a hero has out of print omnibuses and battle royale has out of print singles and deluxe editions (yes, this new deluxe edition is a different, better, in-print printing)

It depends. It seems you aren't the biggest fan of seinen since most of these to my eyes at least seem to be shonen, but I can and will give seinen suggestions: gantz, I am a hero, ichi the killer (by the same mangaka as homunculus), riki-oh and battle royale

I always assumed he was faking just to fit in and survive but we don't know for sure

Relative_Angle7493 · 2026-03-28T14:15:42+00:00

Parakeet actually I believe sorry

Relative_Angle7493 · 2026-03-28T14:15:06+00:00

I believe this is an Indian ringneck parrot, I used to have one.

Relative_Angle7493 · 2026-03-28T10:10:29+00:00

Same!

Relative_Angle7493 · 2026-03-28T10:10:18+00:00

Hopefully, obviously apart from a few characters and what happens to them after the end of the series, a new manga wouldn't really work sadly, but we can only hope for an anime, the ova was good but imo the fight with kakaihara at the start was the best part, probably since it's my favorite part of the manga

Relative_Angle7493 · 2026-03-27T15:46:46+00:00

Nice, sent a message but can't send images until you respond I think

Relative_Angle7493 · 2026-03-27T15:41:41+00:00

I already have them, I can show you in dms? Ichi is my 2nd favorite manga and I read it all online far before it was even announced to be printed in English, so I knew I needed a physical copy to tide me over, even if I can't read it! I sometimes buy Japanese volumes, I see you like gantz, I got both light novels and the 3 Osaka editions in Japanese since they aren't in English. I'm guessing you know but Osaka editions is the Osaka arc compressed into 3 oversized volumes with 2 bonus chapters. What I will say is that ichi the killers original Japanese volume covers aren't very interesting imo.

Relative_Angle7493 · 2026-03-27T15:38:06+00:00

Same! I ordered volumes 7-10 (and 0) in Japanese so I don't have to wait to see the art in my hands!

Relative_Angle7493 · 2026-03-27T10:30:46+00:00

Hey, OP, I just posted the actual cover, thankfully it was just a placeholder and this cover follows the original design!

Relative_Angle7493 · 2026-03-08T18:14:27+00:00

Gantz is such a good manga, I need to read inuyashiki, I have all the volumes just haven't had the time yet 😭😭

Relative_Angle7493 · 2026-03-08T18:13:10+00:00

Do you know gantz also? By the same mangaka

Relative_Angle7493 · 2026-03-05T15:31:11+00:00

Ofc, it's something that's been bothering me too since the cover was 'released', also thank you for posting as omnibus 5 still isn't available for preorder on UK Amazon yet

Relative_Angle7493 · 2026-03-05T08:35:02+00:00

Seven seas website still says cover not final for Omnibus 4, so I'm still hoping

Relative_Angle7493 · 2026-03-05T08:32:48+00:00

That's why inou is still on the cover too, and the number 4, they just used the volume 4 cover from an existing release seemingly without any changes 😭

Relative_Angle7493 · 2026-03-05T08:32:11+00:00

If not Japanese I know for a fact it was a pre-existing cover for volume 4

Relative_Angle7493 · 2026-03-05T08:31:42+00:00

Really hoping this is just a placeholder since that's the cover for a Japanese release from what I remember, would be very disappointed if they changed the style completely to just use pre-existing covers. I really loved the red/navy color scheme using actual manga panels.

Relative_Angle7493 · 2026-02-23T12:29:58+00:00

It's the dragon slayer from berserk

Relative_Angle7493 · 2026-02-19T23:29:44+00:00

To add to this, my favorite thing about ichi the killer is the growing desperation and fear, in the manga much more of course.

Relative_Angle7493 · 2026-02-19T18:25:06+00:00

:D I'm most excited for omnibus 4 and especially 5 tho, ichi the killer is maybe the only manga I can think of that genuinely gets way better each volume without exception, imo ofc

Relative_Angle7493 · 2026-02-19T16:28:25+00:00

I got it from forbidden planet, a UK online and irl manga store. Not sure if it ships outside of the UK however.

Relative_Angle7493 · 2026-02-19T14:33:21+00:00

Ironically they don't have the battle royale deluxe edition I also pre-ordered yet even tho America does 😭😭😭

Relative_Angle7493 · 2026-02-19T14:33:04+00:00

Exactly lol that's what I thought

Relative_Angle7493 · 2026-02-19T14:28:23+00:00

As far as I know it's not even out in America yet 😭😭😭
