What are some manga with literary value? Anonymous Fri Jul 31 18:56:00 2020 No.16014020 [Reply] [Original]

I think that manga has a lot of potential as an art form, but many fall victim to cliches or feeling too episodic.
Are there any that solve these issues and really manage to make an impact on you?

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.

Holy pseudery. Pun pun was pretentious shallow swill.

Read a lolipop or a bullet if you want something good and thought provoking

To each their own. I don't want to say you got filtered.

To me it was one of the most beautiful things I've ever read. Heart-breaking. Aiko and Punpun's morbid dependancy on each other, his conception of God slowly warping and twisting, the hints at him being hypersexual, the second half of the manga. Holy shit, the second half.
