Two shounen I really like have started their new seasons this week, Windbreaker in season 2 and Fire Force in season 3. Jumped right into season 2 of Windbreaker as season one only aired a year ago, but I think I might rewatch season 1 as I forgot just how good this show is. For Fire Force, I've decided to rewatch it from the beginning, as it is going into its third season, and I'm pretty sure season 1 is already six or seven years old, which is really scary to think about. Another show that I forgot just how good it was.
Been reading and loving Lone Wolf and Cub Omnibus Volume One. Stellar manga, much prefer it to Berserk.
"Preoccupied with a single leaf, you won’t see the tree. Preoccupied with a single tree, you’ll miss the entire forest. Don't be preoccupied with a single spot. See everything in its entirety...effortlessly. That is what it means...to truly "see." "
@Hapless It's very good! But there's twenty-eight of those "chunky" Dark Horse Omnibus tomes, for Lone Wolf and Cub, you know. I plan to get them all, but I might be being overly-ambitious.

@Hapless They are Gorgeous, I plan to read them all this year. I've always been a huge fan of Darkhorse's hardcover editions. So much so, that I've double dipped on many of my favourite series. Their Art books are always special. My bookcases are dedicated to many a Darkhorse edition.
I've been reading Blue Period recently, which I absolutely love. I'm onto Vol 8 now.
For those who don't know, it's about a teenager who discovers a love of art and the trials and tribulations they go through trying to get into Tokyo University of Arts.
It's pretty grounded but very well written. Some nice characters.
I read a bit more of the first Lone Wolf and Cub Dark Horse Omnibus, I am about 2/3 of the way through it so far and greatly enjoying it, superior to some cinematic productions (nopt specifically referring to the adaptations of this), for sure, love the art direction and style.

so i have all the volumes and Vagabond is an excellent manga, The only downside is that the series isnt finished and the creator is on a indefinite break from the series. I would also recommend Blade the Immortal @BlAcK_Sw0rDsMaN It is also a samurai manga but with a supernatural twist. Very good indeed
@Skarasny I had a look at an Amazon review of Blade of the Immortal , the anime version, which is based on the manga, and there is some stuff in it that I believe I would find unsavoury, so I think I will pass over that in favour of Samurai Champloo and Vagabond ,which, like I said, I am currently reading already, as they don't seem as dark. I got put off Berserk for the same reason. More of an action-adventure guy than a horror guy.

Read a few more issues of Vagabond Definitive Edition Volume One. I think it's brilliant. Great action and art, like watching a decent samurai movie, reading through it.
Edit: Finished it now, I thought it was very good. Excellent samurai swordsmanship contained in the pages of this fabulously illustrated manga tome.

@Hapless Thanks for the rec.Added it to the list.Good luck with Vagabond I think you'll have a great time with it! .Now I'll see your Isaak and raise you one Dororo have you heard of it? I haven't read it but I've heard it's very good, so I thought I'd pass that one along in return.

@Hapless It is very 'chunky'. I've read most of the first volume and thoroughly enjoyed it. Idk if I can make it through all 28, though I would like to. Looking forward to reading more Vagabond and hopefully starting Issak soon too, if I don't get too distracted. 😉

I dunno if it's been mentioned in this thread yet but I've really been enjoying Roar: A Star in the Abyss. I guess there are similarities to Oshi no Ko, but it's a bit darker.
@Hapless I didn't start Boy's Abyss (I bought Vol 1 but never opened it) yet.
Roar is really good, though. Great art and it immediately pulls you into its story. Vol 2 came out a couple of weeks ago and ends in a very interesting place.
I'm well on my way to finishing reading the Death Note manga for the first time. It is SOOOO good. I want to watch the anime too eventually.
