What are some GOAT manga you have read?

Here are mine:

One Piece: A rubber-bodied kid, Luffy, sails a vast pirate world to find the ultimate treasure and become Pirate King, gathering a quirky crew along the way.

Why it’s great:

• Huge, coherent worldbuilding with real stakes and payoff years later.
• Powers and fights are imaginative, not just “stronger punch.”
• Heartfelt themes of freedom, loyalty, and found family.

Tower of God: A boy enters a mysterious Tower to reunite with his only friend, facing deadly tests, politics, and ever-changing rules on each floor.

Why it’s great:

• Constant mystery: every floor adds new systems, species, and secrets.
• Smart power scaling and strategy-focused battles.
• Large cast where side characters actually matter.

Parasyte: Alien parasites invade humans; one fails to take a teen’s brain and instead lives in his right hand, forcing them to coexist.

Why it’s great:

• Tight horror-thriller pace with sharp moral questions about humanity.
• Strong character growth as the lead balances fear, guilt, and duty.
• Clean, efficient storytelling—no filler.

Berserk: A lone mercenary, Guts, fights through a brutal medieval world filled with monsters, war, and trauma.

Why it’s great:

• Some of the most detailed, powerful art in manga.
• Unflinching exploration of ambition, grief, and survival.
• Epic scope that still feels personal and human.

20th Century Boys: A group of adults discover that a doomsday cult is reenacting the “end-of-the-world” game they made up as kids, and only their buried memories can stop it.
Why it’s great:

• Masterclass mystery-thriller with reveals that feel earned.
• Seamless jumps across decades keep tension high.
• Deep, believable ensemble cast—everyone has a role.

Angel Densetsu: A kind, clueless boy with a terrifying face is mistaken for the ultimate delinquent, causing endless misunderstandings at his new school.

Why it’s great:

• Pure comedy from contrast: scary looks vs. gentle heart.
• Surprisingly sweet messages about judging by appearances.
• Short, fast arcs that deliver laughs and warmth.
