No.1 “Busukai e youkoso” by Daiki Kono
- Author: Daiki Kono
- Publisher: Number Nine
- Chapters: 88 episodes (ongoing)
- Genre: Shonen manga, Action, Fantasy
- Author’s Social Media:X
A world called the "Busu-kai" (Ugly World), where those who were ridiculed as ugly during their lives are reincarnated after death. In this world,there exists a rule that says "if you eat a beautiful person, you yourself will be reborn beautiful."The protagonist, who chose to end her life after growing tired of being called ugly, awakens in the Busu-kai and begins a journey to discover the version of herself she wants to become, amidst a brutal society of fierce competition and class warfare.
The most captivating aspect of Welcome to the Busu-kai is the growth of the main character, Eiko Ka, and the wide variety of battle scenes.Bullied for her looks while alive, unable to find a sense of self, Eiko took her own life—only to face even more hardship in the harsh, combat-driven society of the afterlife. Yet through all the suffering, her journey of physical and emotional growth brought tears to my eyes more than once.
The battle scenes featuring characters like Kaeko are also thrilling, with each character possessing unique and impressive combat abilities.For example,Kaeko excels at becoming whatever she wants to be, a skill called Tokui. She also has techniques like Sakujo, which erases whatever she touches, and Tokisudeni, which allows her to turn back time.
The battles between individuals with such diverse abilities are truly spectacular and, above all, incredibly cool. Since each character in the "Busukai" possesses their own unique power, you never know what will happen next, and every time a new ability is revealed, it’s absolutely thrilling.
Another distinctive feature of “Welcome to the Busukai” is its abundance of quotes that strike a chord with the heart. There are so many that it's hard to choose just one, but if I had to pick, it would be a line from the scene where Tokiko, the Intestines of the Asagiri-Kunike family, teaches Kaeiko what life is all about.
“Life belongs to you. You can use it however you want. The time you’re spending right now will surely become your ‘future self’ someday.”

With numerous impactful quotes like this, the manga also has a rare logical and philosophical side for a battle series. You can't win by brute strength alone — logical strength also determines the outcome of battles, making this a highly recommended series even for those who don’t usually read battle manga.

No.2 “Psycho Eyes” by Takahiro Kato
- Author: Tatahiro Kato
- Publisher: Shogakukan
- Volumes: 2 (ongoing)
- Genre: Seinen manga, Sci-fi, Police action
- Official website:Psycho Eyes（Shogakukan）
18-year-old Kei Watanabe possesses a supernatural ability called “Psycho Eyes,” which allows him to see invisible connections between people—something ordinary humans cannot perceive. Because of this innate power, Kei has struggled to build relationships and has long kept his distance from society. However, his life takes a dramatic turn when he encounters a pair of siblings who also possess Psycho Eyes. For the first time, Kei finds people who truly understand him—and alongside them, he throws himself into a battle that could determine the fate of the world.
The main highlight of "Psycho Eyes" is without a doubt its flashy action scenes powered by Psycho Eyes. The ability of Psycho Eyes not only allows users to see human connections,but also grants them the power to see what is normally invisible — a unique ability possessed by certain espers.There are various types of abilities. In the case of Kei, his life was changed by a pair of police siblings — the older brother, Zen, who can see people's "guarded emotions," and the younger sister, Kanade, who can see the "routes" people take.
A secret investigative team within the police force called “Marume” uses Psycho Eyes to tackle difficult cases, while a criminal organization known as “The Eyes of the World” fiercely tries to steal them. The ability to see things others can't complicates human relationships and emotional bonds—especially the relationship between Kyo and his father, which becomes a central theme of the story.
“Psycho Eyes” went viral on X (formerly Twitter), earning over 170,000 likes and 28.69 million impressions. It became a hot topic across social media. With a gripping plot that feels like a mix of supernatural powers and police action drama, this story keeps readers on the edge of their seats.

No.3 “Waruyama-kun to Takashi-chan” by Shimada
- Author: Shimada
- Publisher: KADOKAWA
- Volumes: 1 (complete)
- Genre: Women's manga, human drama
- Official website:Waruyama-kun to Takashi-chan（KADOKAWA）
Takashi, a timid and unathletic elementary schooler, suddenly finds himself constantly approached by his classmate Waruyama-kun—a towering and intimidating boy standing 180cm tall. From being challenged to random “who carries the backpack” rock-paper-scissors games, to having doodles drawn on the chalkboard during cleaning duty, it seems like Waruyama is always picking on him.However, these actions are actually Akuyama’s own way of being kind. Everything he does is secretly meant to make Takashi’s life easier.
What makes Waruyama-kun and Takashi-chan so heartwarming is the dynamic between the tsundere-like, soft-hearted Waruyama and the easily frightened Takashi. At first glance, it looks like Waruyama is bullying Takashi, but in truth, he’s only trying to help him—and that contrast is simply endearing.
Even the backpack rock-paper-scissors games are Waruyama’s way of helping out; he intentionally loses because Takashi’s backpack looks heavy. Despite his intimidating height and appearance, Waruyama shows a level of gentleness that’s completely unexpected. On top of that, both boys quietly admire the qualities they see in each other, making this pure and wholesome duo all the more healing to watch.

No.4 “GunnjinMuko-san to Daikonyome-san” by koma
- Author: Koma
- Publisher: Hōbunsha Comics/FUZ Comics
- Volumes: 5 (ongoing)
- Genre: Romantic Comedy, War Drama
- Official website:Gunnjinmukosan to daikonyomesan（ Hōbunsha Comics）
During wartime Japan, 17‑year‑old Hana lives peacefully in a rural village when a tall young army officer named Homare suddenly appears. Towering above any ordinary Japanese man, Homare draws everyone’s attention as he announces that he has come to marry into Hana’s family and hold the wedding that very day. (He mixed up the lunar and solar calendars, but since he is already there, the families decide to go ahead with the ceremony!)
The charm of “Gunjin Muko‑san to Daikon Yome‑san” lies in its easy‑to‑read paneling: it’s laid out almost like two rows of four‑panel (yonkoma) strips, letting you breeze through the story.
The manga tenderly portrays the once‑common practice of arranged marriages decided by parents, showing the lively Hana and the quiet, slightly airheaded Homare gradually growing closer. Even while touching on the harsh backgrounds and family circumstances unique to wartime, the series remains a rom‑com at heart—balancing poignant moments with plenty of humor for a “laugh‑and‑cry” experience.

While the villagers warmly welcome them at first, the peaceful atmosphere quickly changes after the discovery of an old woman's corpse. The body bears human bite marks, leading Daigo to uncover a shocking truth hidden within the village...
The highlight of Gannibal lies in its shocking premise:a village of cannibals.The story is set in Kuge Village, an isolated place haunted by legends of human-eating. It follows a family newly assigned to live there under the protagonist’s police duty, as they become entangled in the villagers’ strange behavior and the secrets buried deep within the village.

The presence of the mysterious Goto family adds another layer of rural dread, pulling the reader deeper into the narrative. The manga also features many thrilling moments—such as Daigo engaging in intense hand-to-hand combat with armed villagers—so be sure not to miss the action-packed scenes.
