In time honored fashion of b12 Anime thread, I bring you some manga recommendations! Read them at your preferred site - I mainly link Batoto, but they don't have 7 newest chapters of KnK so I linked another one.
Koe no KatachiThe main ingredients are deaf girl, bullying and maturity. As for genre it is mainly slice of life and romance. But don't expect romantic comedy or lightheartedness. The story focuses on deaf girl and boy who bullies her in school. She is eventually forced to transfer and the boy becomes the bullying target. After years, he sets out to reedem himself from his sins.
This manga ranks up there in the top 20 manga I have ever read. And it is still ongoing!
TeppuMain heroine is a gifted girl who can achieve anything she wants in sports. Because of this she is permanently bored, as there aren’t any real challenges to her abilites to make her feel alive. One day she receives an invitation of a merry girl to join her martial arts club. Irritated by her happy expression, she decides to accept the invitation just as a pretext to beat her up, but she receives a shocking surprise.
Sports manga, with pretty compelling story. It is not like every other shounen type sport story of getting stronger to beat the next opponent. The focus lies more with the interesting characters and their relationships/rivality.
Hito Hitori FutariWhat would you do if you could talk with your guardian spirit and you were Prime Minister of Japan? This is the manga about it. The guardian spirit is even a cute 18-year old girl! But expect strong story and not much comedy. I liked the concept of great politician being aided by supernatural phenomenon, but the weak point for me were the political messages of the work.
Recently finished with translation, so ready for reading in one go!
