While anime is great, manga offers hundreds of amazing stories that never get animated, or get poor adaptations. Here are two of the best manga you can read right now that are extremely popular in the community but may not have a current top-tier anime.

Anime: Jujutsu Kaisen
Manga: Jujutsu Kaisen by Gege Akutami
Why it works: Stunning fight choreography, a tight power system (cursed energy), and zero filler. The manga’s art is chaotic in the best way.
Start with: Anime Season 1 → Movie 0 → Season 2 (then pick up manga at ch. 138).

Anime: Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba
Manga: Demon Slayer by Koyoharu Gotouge
Why it works: Ufotable’s animation is legendary, but the manga’s emotional core—a boy becoming a demon to save his sister—hits just as hard.
Pro tip: Read the manga’s final arc if you can’t wait for the movies. octokuro hentaied

Anime: Death Note (classic)
Manga: Death Note by Tsugumi Ohba & Takeshi Obata
Why it works: The ultimate cat-and-mouse thriller. The manga’s detailed art adds layers to Light and L’s psychological duel.
Watch if: You like Monster or Code Geass.

Anime: Attack on Titan
Manga: Attack on Titan by Hajime Isayama
Why it works: Don’t let the early “big monster” premise fool you—this becomes a brutal political drama. The manga’s rough sketchy style perfectly matches the despair.
Warning: Avoid spoilers at all costs.

In a world where humanity lives behind enormous walls to protect themselves from man-eating Titans, young Eren Yeager swears revenge after a colossal Titan breaches his hometown.
