Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx12

The image is of my favorite manga consisting of all 10 volumes.

10 YOUNG ANIMAL COMICS Ueno-san is clumsy How clumsy you are, Miss Ueno. tugneko

1: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx14

If it gets too long, it becomes difficult to buy.

2: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems that two cours are just right for adapting it into an anime.

3: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx11

It might be just right to feel a bit regretful.

4: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

Regardless of the number of volumes, I want it to end within 10 years.

5: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

Armed Alchemy, huh?

6: Japan Otaku Reviews

Hellsing and so on.

7: Japan Otaku Reviews

Thank you for the electronic version of Pineapple Army.

8: Japan Otaku Reviews

Examples of other manga around 10 volumes include

Destruction God Magu-chan (Volume 9)

this Communication (Volume 12)

Demon Memu Memu-chan (Volume 12)

I will raise/mention it.

It might be just the right number of volumes for a gag manga.

9: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx15

>>8

Partially so.

10: Japan Otaku Reviews

The reason why Fullmetal Alchemist was adapted into an anime is that with a total of 10 volumes, it fits the length perfectly.

11: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Star mine…

12: Japan Otaku Reviews

On the contrary, considering it as a battle manga, it might be difficult to fit it into 10 volumes.

The 10th volume of Bleach will take until the 20th volume to reach the conclusion of the battle against Aizen in the Turn Back the Pendulum arc.

13: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Parasyte

14: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

I want romantic manga to end around that much too.

If it’s too long, it’ll get boring.

17: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>14

I was glad that “The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses” ended properly in the 10th volume.

Uzaki and I are like, how long are we going to just slack off?

15: Japan Otaku Reviews

Free Person HERO (Volume 12)

16: Japan Otaku Reviews

The Bunbuku Tea Party and the teapot both totaled 13 volumes.

18: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

But I hope my favorite manga continues forever.

25: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>18

There aren’t any manga that I like that have been continuing for a long time, right?

There are some works that I liked until halfway through but are still ongoing.

20: Japan Otaku Reviews

If only the things I want could be served to me continuously without getting bored…

21: Japan Otaku Reviews

How long will Gag Manga Biyori continue?

22: Japan Otaku Reviews

Kindaichi Renjuuro’s works are strongly impressionistic and consist of 10 volumes.

42: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>22

Nikoichi could be good to animate now, right?

23: Japan Otaku Reviews

However

Night of staying up late

24: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

But I also feel like I wanted to see Ueno-san get spanked more.

26: Japan Otaku Reviews

What came to mind right away was “Fullmetal Alchemist.”

27: Japan Otaku Reviews

Zero: The Man of the Creation (Volume 78)

28: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Mr. Ueno finished because of family circumstances.

29: Japan Otaku Reviews

A personal recommendation for a manga that perfectly ends at 10 volumes is “Katakuri and Gold.”

30: Japan Otaku Reviews

Emma (Volume 7 + Short Story Collection Volume 3) etc.

31: Japan Otaku Reviews

The sexy cosplay doll is over…

32: Japan Otaku Reviews

I thought it ended around volume 10, but there are a lot of sequels and spin-offs… things like that also exist.

33: Japan Otaku Reviews

Yokohama Buying Expedition

34: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Death Note is stunning in all 13 volumes.

Was it really that short…?

37: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>34

The amount of information in each episode is amazing.

35: Japan Otaku Reviews

I hesitate to buy a manga that seems interesting if it has over 20 volumes.

36: Japan Otaku Reviews

Simply put, if you go beyond 20 volumes, it will crowd the shelves and the books are more likely to get moldy and start to smell (depending on the individual’s living environment).

Around that point, the story branches off.

I feel like I don’t need to watch this anymore.

The digital version does not have that feeling.

47: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>36

Whether it’s weekly or monthly, if it continues like that for a while, the vertical axis of the story gets too stretched out.

Sometimes the axis gets misaligned, and it changes to a development you don’t prefer…

38: Japan Otaku Reviews

Kondata Teru’s Legal Recipe (Volume 9)

It seems that the super high school-level ace will save a small country in a world where baseball is fought like war (Volume 10).

Sabage-pante (Volume 10)

Is it “Sounan”? (Volume 10)

127: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>38

The baseball one was canceled…

39: Japan Otaku Reviews

Tea Ceremony

40: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think we were all at Kawai-so, was it 11?

41: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Dungeon Meal

43: Japan Otaku Reviews

Gunnm

44: Japan Otaku Reviews

During my student days, I didn’t have much money, so I was a monthly manga believer.

The overall number of volumes is relatively small and easy to manage, and the level of detail and quality in each episode is higher than that of weekly series.

When I became an adult, I no longer had to worry about money, and now with e-books, it doesn’t take up storage space, so I’m grateful…

45: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

About 10 volumes would be fine, but personally, I think a range of around 10 to 20 volumes would be good.

46: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Please draw a sequel to Callet.

48: Japan Otaku Reviews

Hakumei and Mikochi

49: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I think around volume 20 would be good.

50: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>49

It’s great that “Yofukashi no Uta” has reached volume 20.

I wanted to read more, though.

51: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s okay to have around 20 to 30 story manga.

52: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’ve been meaning to read Kingdom but keep postponing it.

Before I knew it, it had become volume 75.

53: Japan Otaku Reviews

Battle manga takes up pages with battle scenes, so around 20 volumes might be just right in terms of information density.

54: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>53

Even though it focuses on battles, there are times when it feels like it’s being cut short if there are fewer than 10 volumes.

55: Japan Otaku Reviews

I just found out that the image was done…

56: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think “The Peaks of the Gods” is about five volumes.

57: Japan Otaku Reviews

I like Ajin (all 17 volumes) and Dungeon Meal (all 14 volumes) as works that are beautifully complete.

I feel that around volume 15 is just right.

58: Japan Otaku Reviews

Strawberry Marshmallow

59: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Ushio and Tora (Volume 34)

Golden Gash (Volume 33)

Fullmetal Alchemist (Volume 27)

I argue that a long battle manga with a certain level of satisfaction is best around 30 volumes.

60: Japan Otaku Reviews

Personally, I find a scale of about 5 to 10 volumes for a monthly series and about 10 to 20 volumes for a weekly series to be comfortable.

61: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I think it’s amazing that things like Ghost in the Shell, which originally only had one volume, are still continuing with media mixes.

64: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>61

That is a peculiar example that can hardly be called a manga.

It has become like a classic of the cyberpunk genre.

68: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>64

Are you confusing it with Neuromancer…?

75: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>68

That is true, but…

I think that visual expression has been largely established by manga and films.

93: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>75

Are you mistaking it for Blade Runner?

101: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

>>93

How much do you dislike Ghost in the Shell?

77: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>68

The original source of creation is not necessarily its origin.

86: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>68

I don’t know how to put it… what a shameful guy.

62: Japan Otaku Reviews

In recent years, the price of paperback books has increased, and with fewer pages, the number of pages included per volume has decreased.

The volume of the entire 10 volumes from the past and the current 10 volumes is quite different, which is tough…

63: Japan Otaku Reviews

One Piece and Naruto are the most interesting around volume 50.

I think it’s fine for works that exceed 100 million copies to go that far.

67: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>63

Kochikame is also most highly regarded between 60 and 90.

76: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>67

I think the area where the fat is most abundant is around there, but personally, I also like the vibe around 30 to 40.

69: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>63

DRAGONBALL (Volume 42)

72: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>69

Don’t put up monsters.

65: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Honestly, I don’t know anything about One Piece because it’s too long to catch up on.

66: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even with about the same 10 volumes, it might not fit into two cours or it might be lacking.

70: Japan Otaku Reviews

Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (Volume 7) is also very well made, so I recommend it.

71: Japan Otaku Reviews

Well, 10 volumes of Baki are about equivalent to 4 volumes of other manga…

73: Japan Otaku Reviews

Ping Pong (complete in 5 volumes) is a sports manga that provides a great sense of satisfaction with that amount.

74: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Thanks to electronics, it has become easier to buy even when it’s expensive.

78: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Go to DMC (All 10 volumes)!

Go to DMC (all 10 volumes)!

79: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you keep serializing a gag manga for a long time, you’ll go crazy.

87: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>79

Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo, all 28 volumes!

90: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>87

It became strange.

91: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>79

I wonder if Urayasu will soon have a total of around 100.

80: Japan Otaku Reviews

That guy… mocked One Piece, which shows no signs of ending even after over 20 years…!

98: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>80

It’s been six years since the statement that it would end in five years…

81: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I wanted to read more of the thread images.

82: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s a cliché in stories like this, but I really admire how short Death Note is.

83: Japan Otaku Reviews

When I was a child, I thought Dragon Ball was too long.

I see, there are only 42 volumes of that… it’s overflowing with long stories.

84: Japan Otaku Reviews

Death Note also showed its disgrace in the second part, didn’t it?

85: Japan Otaku Reviews

Only “KochiKame” and “Golgo 13” are allowed to exceed 100 volumes.

89: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>85

Is the season of Edomae not allowed?

92: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>89

I think it’s unforgivable.

88: Japan Otaku Reviews

Investiture of the Gods (Volume 23)

Personally, I think it’s just right.

94: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think Volume 20 of One-Nouth fits too well.

95: Japan Otaku Reviews

The complete 13 volumes of Machiavellianism!

I wanted to read more… but it can’t be helped…

96: Japan Otaku Reviews

Romance is best in volume 3 unless there are other elements.

Anything beyond that is superfluous.

97: Japan Otaku Reviews

The gag manga from Jump is just right around volumes 7 to 10.

99: Japan Otaku Reviews

I can’t agree at all with those who smugly say that ending something that’s truly valued now is the correct choice.

Ah, it can’t be helped since I’ve been feeling out of ideas lately… Ending around there is the most agreeable.

105: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>99

I understand this very well.

Squeeze everything out and die.

106: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>105

(A thinly stretched development just to continue for a long time)

100: Japan Otaku Reviews

I liked how Yoshihiro Kuroiwa’s two-volume series could be quickly read in the same way as a long one-shot, with a sense of being two parts.

102: Japan Otaku Reviews

Recently, I’ve come to feel that even 5 volumes is just right, let alone 10 volumes.

It might be because I don’t read battle manga.

108: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>102

I think it’s amazing how well “Kanata no Astra” is wrapped up in volume 5.

103: Japan Otaku Reviews

I feel that with about 10 volumes, it tends to keep a straight path without going off on weird tangents, making it easier to read.

Well, there are many interesting mangas in side stories as well.

109: Japan Otaku Reviews

Since Cromartie High School has 17 volumes, if we take the serialization seriously, we should be able to reach this level.

110: Japan Otaku Reviews

The latter part of Demon Slayer features a rather tedious continuation with a lot of arm-waving.

I felt like it was already at its limit, so I was quite satisfied with it coming to an end.

I can only see a terrible future if we go to the second part from there.

111: Japan Otaku Reviews

In a weekly magazine, a series can be published for a year without any breaks, resulting in five volumes of a paperback.

Even though it’s a total of 5 volumes, it feels short since it was serialized for only a year.

112: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

In romantic stories, if it’s been published in double digits, it’s almost certain to be a drawn-out plot or a character ensemble focusing on different characters…

114: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>112

If it’s a harem genre, there are still various options, but in a one-on-one romantic comedy, I really think around volume 10 is the limit.

113: Japan Otaku Reviews

Gag Manga Biyori, Complete in 15 Volumes

It’s just right to end before it breaks!

119: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>113

+You haven’t read it?

115: Japan Otaku Reviews

The Judo Club Story, all 11 volumes

Finish both the mid-game rival and the late-game rival neatly, ending beautifully.

116: Japan Otaku Reviews

Bamboo Blade

117: Japan Otaku Reviews

Shinozaki-kun’s Maintenance Situation

118: Japan Otaku Reviews

You and I, Completely Opposite (Volume 8)

I think it’s a love manga that is carefully and consistently put together without any slack.

120: Japan Otaku Reviews

Chainsaw Man has a total of 11 volumes in Part 1 only.

121: Japan Otaku Reviews

I can’t really think of any recent masterpieces that come to mind…

I should be reading a fair amount, but…

124: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>121

Competition smoke machines, Kotorin documents, Hoki Bekakon, and so on.

125: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>124

That’s really biased…

122: Japan Otaku Reviews

Recently, I don’t understand why a series that ends neatly in 5 volumes is treated as being canceled. If it’s a monthly publication, it generally runs for about 3 years, so I want to say that they’ve done enough.

123: Japan Otaku Reviews

Honestly, even in the 10th volume, it’s still long.

For me, volume 6 is the best.

128: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>123

Hyperinflation

Spirit Circle

126: Japan Otaku Reviews

The sorceress Kurohime is around volume 20.
