Me: Why do I only like trash.

Friend: Uhhh...

I loved the art style too. I really loved this anime, and I’d recommend it (although it’s definitely really raunchy so I wouldn’t recommend minors watch it as much).

One of my dreams is still to own the PSG Galaxxxy figures haha.

Uta no Prince Sama - 1

Non-Idol Manga List

Mod Hina: I’m a heavy manga reader, so I’ve at least pursued probably 75% of this list... /sweats

Mushishi’s not on this list at all which makes me a little sad but if you’re into really well drawn manga about supernatural fantasy I’d give it a read! It’s mostly episodic and slowly reveals more info about the enigmatic protagonist over the length of the series. It’s really really good.

07 Ghost - 1

Aizawa-san Multiplies - 1

Ajin - 1

Aku no Hana - 2

Akuma No Riddle - 1

Ancient Magus' Bride - 1

Anohana - 1

Ao Haru Ride - 2

Are You Alice? - 1

Mod Hina: I’m surprised to find someone else who’s even heard of this manga! I was close to finishing it but I never got around to it..

Assassination Classroom - 1

Attack on Titan - 1

Azumanga Daioh - 1

Beloved - 1

Berserk - 2

Bleach - 2

Mod Hina: I’ll admit, I didn’t read much of the manga.. But I did skim the last 40 or so chapters after I heard it was ending.

Bloom into You - 1

Boku no Hero Academia - 10

Mod Hina: I’m really into BNHA right now! One of the manga I keep up with on a weekly basis.

Overhaul is.. my favorite.. So is Dabi.. It’s me, Trash Lover Supreme.

Bokurano - 1

Bright and Cheery Amnesia - 2

Bungou Stray Dogs - 4

Mod Hina: I also love BSD?

Canis - 1

Citrus - 3

D.Gray-Man - 2

Death Note - 3

Mod Hina: CLASSIC. This is like one of the first manga that I finished completely. I read it all in middle school too.. My weeb phase...

Don’t talk to me about the Netflix movie.

Doraemon - 1

Dorohedoro - 1

Doukyuusei - 1

Dragonhead - 1

Fairy Tail - 3

Fate series - 1

Franken Fran - 1

Fruits Basket - 1

Mod Hina: Ah. Like Death Note, I also read Fruits Basket in middle school. This is such a nostalgia bomb for me because Fruits Basket was my first manga, iirc.

Fruits Basket actually introduced me to the idea of online scanlation groups too. I couldn’t find the last few volumes in any libraries around me, nor in any bookstores. So I resorted to downloading them online after finding out about the translations.

Fullmetal Alchemist - 1

Mod Hina: Fullmetal Alchemist is one of my all-time favorite manga and I’m very sad that it only got 1 nomination out of all of the nominations.

FMA is very poignant and deals a lot with the consequences and reality of war. It’s very good and it’s very amazing. Please read it if you can.

It’s a longer series and while I did start reading this one in middle school, unlike the others, I took longer to finish reading this. I think I finished sometime in high school.

I think this manga still holds up to the test of time, as well.

If you’re more of an anime person, the anime is really good too! I’d recommend watching the original FMA first, and then FMA:B because of the fact that FMA:B’s beginning is rushed, because it assumes that you’ve either read the manga or watched the original FMA.

The original FMA deviates from the manga canon, which is where FMA:B was made to fix that.

Please appreciate Greedling he is my favorite character of all time.

Fuuka - 2

Gakuen Babysitters - 1

Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun - 4

Mod Hina: A good, wholesome manga! I love GSNK too and it’s hilarious.

GIRLS und PANZER - Ribbon no Musha - 1

Golden Kamui - 1

Haikyuu!! - 4

Mod Hina: Another weekly read for me! I love everyone in Haikyuu so much? What a good cast, and what good character development. Even the less significant characters get a chapter or two dedicated to their character arc.

Kasane - 1

Katekyo Hitman Reborn - 1

Mod Hina: As mentioned before... I was a huge KHR fangirl back in the day... My heart still beats for Gokudera... tsundere-ass bomber boy.

Kimi to Boku - 1

King Bowling! - 1

Kingdom - 1

Kitchen Princess - 1

Koe no Katachi - 1

Mod Hina: I highly recommend this manga.

Another moment where I’m sad that this didn’t get that many recommendations.

It’s very realistic. Like, you’ll end up hating some characters, but that’s because they’re written to be realistic. There are people who did something wrong, who have character flaws, who know that they’re flawed, and some of them will try to change themselves, while others will disregard it because their life is fine, like in real life.

Overall the story is extremely poignant and touching. The ending is open-ended, which some people might not like, but I really enjoyed this because it’s so well written. It reflects real life, in my opinion.

Kuroshitsuji - 2

Kuzumi-kun, Kuuki Yometemasu ka? - 1

Liar Game - 1

Mod Hina: I started reading this manga years ago. At some point, the group translating it dropped the manga so there was a one year gap before anyone picked it back up, I think.

I need to finish this because I stopped at the gap, but I haven’t read it in years so I’ve forgotten what happened. My plan is to reread the whole thing, but it’s quite long so I don’t know when I’ll get around to that.

Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid - 1

Nanbaka - 1

Naruto - 4

Mod Hina: I.. actually own a few volumes of Naruto. Like the Rock Lee vs Gaara fight is in one of the volumes I own.

Nichijou - 2

Nogi Wakaba wa Yuusha de Aru - 1

Noragami - 2

One Punch Man - 4

Mod Hina: I tried reading the original web comic for this a while ago and the art style made me laugh, I’m sorry. I started reading the manga instead.

Orange - 1

Ore Monogatari - 1

Otome Youkai Zakuro - 1

Oyasumi Punpun - 1

Pandora Hearts - 1

Mod Hina: I stopped reading this literally five chapters before it finished. I should read those chapters.

ReLife - 3

Rosario + Vampire II - 1

Rouroni Kenshin - 1

Sailor Moon - 1

Sakamichi no Apollo - 1

Shokugeki no Soma - 5

Mod Hina: Another weekly read for me. I mostly just like the art of food. The plot is kind of weak to me, and I legitimately got mad at the plot armor for one of the main protagonists once, haha.

Shuuen no Shiori - 2

Mod Hina: I’ve read a bit of this! I don’t think a lot of it is translated so I haven’t read beyond that.

Uzumaki - 1

Mod Hina: WHO ARE YOU? WE ARE BEST FRIENDS NOW. SORRY ELLIE.

I love Junji Ito a lot? He’s amazing and I’ve read all the works I can find from him that are translated..

Except Gyo. I have this abject rejection of Gyo for some reason.

I absolutely love the beginning of Uzumaki, although the end gets kind of weird for me.

Vanitas no Carte - 2

We Can't Study - 1

Yagate Kimi ni Naru - 1

Yotsuba - 1

Mod Hina: Yotsuba is also really big nostaglia for me. I never “finished” it (aka caught up since it’s still publishing) but I did start reading it in middle school. It’s one of the first manga I read and it really throws me back to my tweenage days.
