20th Century Boys is one of the best manga I have read so far, and here is my reaction/ review on the series. It is a definite must read for all manga fans, especially if you have read Monster.

Naoki Urasawa is my favorite mangaka of all time. Monster, Happy, Pluto, Billy Bat, 20th Century Boys. All classic manga in my mind. Kenji is my favorite protagonist (Guts is 2nd, don't kill me). I just love him. 20th Century Boys has the most interesting plot I've ever read. I felt like my jaw was on the floor ever five minutes and I couldn't wait to see how the story played out. I would say that it is the "best" manga I've ever read. Not my favorite bit still top five(Punpun or Beck is #1 for me). Urasawa is just the best story teller in manga right now. I'm glad you liked it.

@michaelhenry3234
@michaelhenry3234 3 года назад
@@xaviorprime9203 I don't really see the point in making a top 20 list and shit aside for personal reasons. Like, all these manga we're talking about all have their strengths and weaknesses. Like, what's the point of comparing Punpun with AoT? Way too different, they're doing completely different things. Like, I think AoT blows all the others out of the water thematically. Isayama is a master of using motifs and character to communicate theme. I think his characters are wonderfully complex, yet not quite human. They're linked so intrinsically to their thematic purposes that they can almost feel like puppets of theme. They still have agency and they aren't just tools of the plot, that's not what I'm saying, but they can almost feel like ideas more than people. Like characters in a stage play rather than in a film. It's a style of writing I actually really like. But I'd say it's less powerful, if you value pure character over theme, than the traditional method of writing characters. And of course AoT's art isn't a fraction of the quality of Berserk or Vagabond's. That said, I think Isayama has developed a distinct style of his own that works very well, and Isayama's paneling has always been very well done. With plotting, I think AoT is much better than its competition. Isayama writes very, very tight plots. The twists and turns are always excellent, the foreshadowing is incredible, but the conciseness is his real strength. For example, the battle of Fort Slava in the Marley Arc is simultaneously introducing us to the outside world and their views on Eldia and Marley, displaying the threat of Marley, setting up the symmetrical bookends for the arc with Gabi and Reiner's actions, and introducing the Mid-East people so we can have a sympathetic victim of the Rumbling 40 chapters later. Most plot points in AoT are similarly juggling several different responsibilities. It really is incredible when Isayama flexes his plotting chops, a prime example being chapters 99-100. Storyboarding 20 chapters in advance is well worth it. It's an incredible manga. It isn't as good as Vagabond etc. in some aspects, but I do find it better in others. It definitely doesn't deserve to be put down for being shonen. It ain't Naruto. /rant.

Both mangas are Naoki Urasawa masterpieces. Monster - more consistent and cohesive narrative writing 20th Century Boys - more intriguing and compelling narrative.

Friend is definitely in my top 5 as far as manga villains go. I think what makes him so compelling is how sparingly he’s used. He’s not physically present in the story very often, but his thematic presence can be felt all throughout because of the chilling impact he leaves on you. There’s also the fact that he has no remarkable abilities besides manipulation, and still manages to feel like a monumental and nigh untouchable opponent. He literally accomplished everything he wanted to. The story has this very bleak feel to it, in which the villain has already won and the heroes are just trying to narrowly escape being crushed underneath his heel.

I’m someone who only just started reading manga. To me, this title caught my attention. Simply because I AM looking for must read mangas. I’m starting out “a trail of blood” and so far I must say I wish I had started reading manga sooner. Better late than never i guess. Anyways, not mentioning the name of the manga in the video title allows for more curiosity supposedly. You feel the need to click the video in order to find out the name of the “must read manga”. At least that’s what I think. Also let’s say someone had already read the manga. If they see the name of that manga in the title, they are less likely to click, hence less viewers. So all in all, yea I think ambiguity helps get more viewers.

This is my favourite manga (and story, honestly) of all time! Glad you liked it as well! It's so full of little details and metaphores that every time you come back to it you discover something new, some new symbolism... It's a story about fascism, about identity, good, evil, the past, how it swallows us and much, much more. Nothing beats its level of complexity! Also, Urasawa is a narrative, storytelling visual genius. The pacing, the panels, the compositions, everything flows seamlessly, every emotion is on point... Truly brilliant.

I recommend Beck.

I don't care what y'all said. Naoki urasawa's manga (20th century boys, Billy bat, monster, Pluto) are one of the greatest things humanity has created and yes, the ending is masterpiece too.

This manga didn't let me sleep. Questions after questions were swirling on my head while I laid in my bed. Who's "Friend", why is humanity going to end in 2000, what happened to Kenji's sister, what did Donkey saw? And its ending, where Kenji relieves his past and reflects on the things he should have done back on his childhood, like saying goodbye to a friend, or taking responsibility for his actions. Of course he didn't know those actions will lead to the events of the manga, but it was still so wholesome. And Friend... oh Friend. Never have I felt so scared of an antagonist that is barely seen in the story. Seeing who was beneath the mask was the tip of the iceberg, pretty much like Batman but in a more twisted way, Friend was a symbol an idea, anyone could be a friend. It always seemed like he knew everything and was just waiting for things to happen. I didn't do any major spoilers in this comment I think, so please read it!

The Masked Man reading 20th Century boys i cant stop smiling out of joy. This one of my favorite manga of all time. A story of Mystery, Suspense, Childhood Dreams, Manga, and Rock and Roll. This manga has a very dark, brutal, mature and realistic story. It will show you what could happen if humankind makes all the worst possible decisions it could make. It will also show you how much can corruption ruin the world but it will also show you that even in the worst circunstances, some people will always continue fighting for a better future, as hopeless as this battle could be. After scrolling through the same old routine stories and stereotypes this manga is a breath of fresh air. Naoki Urasawa is a fucking genius.

20th century boys and monster are my favourite manga (together with oyasumi punpun) and another naoki urasawa manga, Pluto, is pretty high up there as well. I can only recommend everyone to read these three manga. I'm currently reading Billy bat by the same author although I have to say it doesn't hold up at all compared to his brilliant later work

@@johnmerisd.copiling2468 Naoki Urasaswa is not the kind of guy who’d get lazy and leave the story, he purposely did it, he wants the reader to frame their own opinion about what happened at the end, the ambiguous ending was all planned, if you analyse the whole anime and Johan’s character again, You will find your own conclusion of the story and that is the beauty of Monster. The ending is a masterpiece, If you dont get it, go ahead and watch this ending explained. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dU2uy4oyq2w.html

Kids going through this kind of crazy world always catches my attention because honestly adults and teens going through crazy stuff is such a norm to me, I like seeing the most innocent souls rise up through intense settings and stories.
