    I highly recommend Boku No Hero Academia. If I had to describe it, I would say it is a cross between Naruto/Kill La Kill. You can go to "reddit.com/r/bokunoheroacademia". To my knowledge they have the all of the current chapters translated into english.

    I'm trying to figure out how Yandere Kanojo is supposed to be read.

    Yandere Kanojo has two version running concurrently. They have the same story iirc. Most websites I've looked at add a .1 after a chapter number to signify it's from the other version.

    That sounds really unintuitive. I can see why the bloke was confused. Usually x.1 chapters are short side stories and 4-komas.

    My Hero Academy is undoubtedly the new big shounen. Will have hundreds of chapters and so far it's great. A must read for people who always love the 'boy becomes hero' storyline.

    Onepunch Man has been recommended before but I'll throw it in again. Epic and hilarious, with absolutely amazing art. It's both a parody of shounens and a great one itself. Check it out.

    For manwhas... I remember Trace being a really good one, though it's been a long time since I read it.

    Ravages of Time, it's seems supremely epic, and yet... I don't know, I really like Blood and Steel, even if the way it's written is quite unusua, it does gives it a truly chinese epic feel. Ravages of Time just seems to big, I don't thonk even GoT can compare with tha mammoth of characters and plots. Does anyone here recommends it?

    If you read Three Kingdoms or even just know the basics from the dynasty warrior games, I recommend it.

    Um... Noblesse was a pretty good manhwa. There's also Onani Master Kurosawa. Now that manga is not your usual manga however, it is good. It's about... you guessed it.. Onanism.

    Cooking yeah, it's been recommended. It's Shokugeki no soma by the way.

    Shokugeki was neat, for a while. At some point, though, I just couldn't care enough about the characters to keep up with the cooking motif.

    I think Death Note is in the Standard Anime Starter Package at this point.

    For anyone who liked Onani Master Kurosawa, I recommend Chikan Otoko. It has the same vibe - adapted from a supposedly RL story on 2ch, it's about a man who got mistaken as a molester.

    Probably the most immersive and emotionally powerful manga I've ever read, and I've read a lot.

    Also, there's the light novel Hakomari - it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that this is the very best light novel out there - its ratings on MAL are well above anything else, and for very good reason. It is thrilling as Death Note, as philosophically sophisticated as Monster, as compelling as Onani Master Kurosawa.

    If you have 3 days more to live, I would congratulate you, because you'll still be able to finish the 6 volumes of Hakomari in that time.

    Well lately I've been reading Karate Shoukoushi Kohinata Minoru and I thought it should be recommended

    I'm going to enthusiastically recommend this as well. It's a little corny at times, but most successful shounen manga are. I'm going to predict that this will be the next Big Thing.

    On various manga reader sites, it's gained an obscene amount of follows/favs.
