MAKE THIS MANGA POPULAR PLEASE! GIVE IT A CHANCE
.
The story revolves around atsushi an orphan who meets some unusual people with supernatural abilities called the armed detective agency. It may start off as your typical thriller supernatural manga but it gets better!
one of my favourite things about this manga is the characterization! I have seen a lot of shows and very rarely do I see character building of this level. BSD makes you love and care for characters who aren't the "main characters". Its also interesting to note how every character is based off an actual author/poet figure. most of their character design and even their relationships are inspired by the actual author. For eg. the most popular arc in the show is the dark era, without giving too much away the friendship between dazai, odasaku and ango is actually inspired by a real life. Its clear to see how much detail has gone into the series and the characters.
Not just that, even the side characters such as chuuya nakahara or tachihara who seem not so important to the main plot are used in such an amazing way. The light novels also provide so much depth into the lives and the characters. It doesn't come off as cheesy or cliche and the current arc - the decay of the angels arc is one of the best I have read. Its insane how well this manga is written but its so underrated.
The art style is also gorgeous in my opinion I think the action sequence and the characters are drawn really well.
i picked up the anime by chance and then the manga and it instantly became one of my favourite series of all time. PLEASE GIVE THIS MANGA A CHANCE YOU WILL NOT REGRET! there's action, emotions, humour, pain, love...its all there. The bonds between the characters are so well written it really makes you feel for them.
I may be biased but I cant recommend bungou stray dogs enough
