/lit/ - Literature

Quite a few manga definitely have literary merit to them, though this topic is better suited to /a/. I usually read them for niche wish-fulfilment, so most of the few I really covet aren't exactly /lit/.

Oyasumi Punpun is probably the best manga I've ever read, and it affected me profoundly, for better or worse. Won't ever read it again, though; I wouldn't be able to stomach it.

The author, Inio Asano, is a pretty /lit/ mangaka, so his other works pretty neat as well. 'A girl on the Shore' by him is stunning. Really beautiful and bleak. It might be my personal favourite of his works. There's something about it that really resonated with me, like the depression induced degeneracy the two kiddies fall into.

Onani Master Kurosawa has been an /a/ favourite, and I'd rather not spoil it. Let's just say it's the perfect palliative for every imageboard user.
