[Elusia]

Dr. Stone for sure.

Not sure which ones to give my second vote..... But I guess I'll give it to Robot X Laserbeam.

 

[Gut's is the man]

Jagaaan. I love me some wild shite.

 

[Riku]

Dr. Stone totally. So well written, refreshing concept.

Grashros gets my second vote. Great art. Strong starting chapters, didn't quite live up to my big expectations, but still good.

Jagaan is also pretty great. Good gory action horror stuff. Interesting characters and setup. Superpowers derived from the persons darkest desires. Makes 'heroes' interesting.

Robot x Laser is entertaining enough. But nothing special. Not sure how long it will keep my interest.

Not familiar with the rest.

 

[Organizized]

Dr. Stone! Great characters, intriguing premise, hilarity galore, a unique great-looking art style and great attention to detail. It deserves this for sure.

 

[Elusia]

Dr. Stone obviously

Though I am quite surprised Robot X Laserbeam didn't make it in the end. Jagaaan as well.

 

[Brandish μ]

Read the first 5 or 10 chapters of DrS. They were fine, the main character seemed like a guy you could get behind and the use of science could be a lot of fun.

I was somewhat dismissive of A Trail of Blood when I first read it. The atmosphere created was enough to keep me going but I was expecting a cheap horror-movie development for some reason. Instead, it kept on slowly building as a pyschological drama, and is one of the manga I'm most eager to read right now.

A Trail of Blood for me.
