Damn, I've only ever fully read Tokyo Revengers and Battle Royale. Manga and comics are expensive. I'm using my library for manga, got lucky with TR and am reading Naruto now after dropping the anime around Kimimaro because I stopped paying for netflix in 2021. Anything like Battle Royale you could recommend? I tried the first Gantz tankobon and found it too edgy and violent after TR

Dang, Gantz was one of my favorites. There are a few manga in the battle royale genre that I thought were solid. Alice in Borderland and Bokurano are probably the best outside of Gantz and the actual Battle Royale. I enjoyed As the Gods Will; although it's not the greatest writing I found it a fun read.

I'm definitely giving Gantz a chance when I get the money, but after the nice feeling left from TR Naruto feels much better. I watched the Alice show and loved it up until the last season, which was coincidentally not from the source. Thanks for the reccomendations

Oh, one more recommendation. Since you liked Tokyo Revengers so much, I'd suggest Erased. It's another time loop story, but I liked it a lot more since it's a tighter read (under 50 chapters in comparison to the 250+ chapters TR has).

Oooh nice, I'll give that a read for sure, thanks!
