The world of anime and manga is massive, spanning from legendary classics to modern-day phenomena. Whether you are a newcomer or a longtime fan, here are reviews of some of the most popular and highly recommended series based on critical acclaim and community consensus.

Two elite student council members are in love, but both are too proud to confess. They wage a daily psychological war to force the other to say "I love you" first.

Mystery, Sci-Fi, Suspense Why it’s popular: By the same author as Monster (Naoki Urasawa). In the 1960s, a group of boys create a "Book of Prophecy" detailing how they will save the world from a villain. Decades later, an adult man named Kenji discovers that a cult leader named "Friend" is using that childhood book to actually end the world. Manga Recommendation: This is a masterpiece. It starts slow, weaving between the past and a futuristic 2015. The feeling of dread and nostalgia is unmatched. No anime adaptation does it justice; you must read the Perfect Edition manga volumes.
