I don’t see anyone ever talking about Hellsing. Why I enjoy it, it’s edgelord but with a heart of gold. I love the factions that fight against each other in this secret war that involves the paranormal and vampires in modern day. It’s got guns and magic and the art is good.
Another one I like is Ragnarok (into the abyss is the english title). It’s a manwha by the korean artist behind the game with the same name. Again another little edgelord romp with a heart of gold, I see a pattern. Plus again I enjoy the art and it reminds me of old school 90’s anime schlock with katanas and magic powers that I fell in love with as a kid.
I really like black lagoon. It’s characters and setting are really well done. It also has a very class concious worldview. The main protagonist becomes a pirate because he was kidnapped and his company refused to pay ransom, to save money. It still releases a chapter every two months. One of the newest arcs was about french colonialism in west africa.
Want to check this out, thanks for reminding me.
It is really nice to read, it’s characters have great dynamics. And the city it’s set in feels like a real place, and Thailand isn’t a common setting as well.
