“Being alone and being lonely are two different things.” “When a man learns to love, he must bear the risk of hatred.” “Those who hurt others will also hurt themselves.” “If you keep my secret, this strawberry is yours.”
More than half of my life has been spent reading comics. I’ve been around long enough to witness the boom, the crash, the rebuilding, and the stabilization of the manga industry in North America. We’ve arrived at a point where the market for the English language may be considered stable. The most popular games are being localized at the same time as their Japanese releases, while publishers are taking calculated chances by licensing obscure titles and long-running series from their back catalogs. Because of this, we are now able to read some of the best manga series that have ever been published.
Toriyama’s now-iconic manga draws inspiration from the classic Chinese novel, Journey to the West. The series revolves around Son Goku, an alien raised as a human who trains in martial arts and seeks the dragon balls, which can summon a dragon able to grant any wish.
What is there to say about Naruto? An entire generation of manga fans cut their teeth on this series about an orphaned boy who dreams of becoming the best ninja in his village. If you love slick battles and cool ninja powers, this is the series for you. It’s also one of the most accessible series for readers brand new to manga.
