Why have there been barely any manga threads?

following. my 8yo has gotten really into graphic novels but she finishes them so quickly. mangas seem longer generally? so far she loves the Hereville books, Zita Spacegirl, the old Sfar Sardine books, the Shanower/Skottie Young Oz books, the Wings of Fire books, but those are all Western graphic novel style and they take about a minute and a half to read.

Some manga my 9-year-old is into:
Little Witch Academia
Witch Hat Atelier
My Neighbor Seki
Yotsuba

My Neighbor Seki is more comedic and episodic but it’s pretty funny. Witch Hat Atelier is a strong recommendation, the art is great. They’re into My Hero Academia as well but I’m not sure how I feel about that one.

I don’t have kids so can’t speak to age appropriateness but two series that comes to mind are Planetes and A Bride’s Story

also try Amulet

Is Beck worth the final tier price?

I like what I've read of Parasyte but I'm pretty sure goes waaaay beyond 8 volumes

no it's just 8. there are some spin offs. it's by far the best of that collection, though i will ride for space brothers and have never tried beck.

I'm about a quarter of the way into Bakuman right now; it's a lot of fun, very meta.

oh ok! i don't know why i thought Parasyte was much longer. i'll def bite then

Chainsaw Man just started Part II and is becoming digitally published simultaneously on Shonen Jump's digital service, which I thought was interesting. Are most new series like that now?

The first part (11 volumes) was pretty great, and I assume when the anime comes out it'll be another massive success ala Jujutsu Kaisen, MHA, Demon Slayer, etc. There was also a great one-shot the same author put out this past year called "Goodbye, Eri".

So I figured, what the hell, I'll try Fujimoto's first series that made him famous, "Fire Punch". God, what a mistake. It's the most dire, edgelord-y shit that I guess I can't tolerate anymore - just as many offensive shock moments as possible in a fantasy apocalypse world featuring the absolute worst of humanity. Like The Walking Dead or Berserk, with even less hope. First volume alone has evil superhumans, child rape, slavery, "heroic" cannibalism, torture, and ends with some attempted bestiality. I'm eBaying this immediately just to get it out of my home because it's too late to return it.

Just wanted to rant into the ether in case someone else here also has had this experience...
