Manga Cover’s That Made Me Read Them

Lately, I have found myself reading mangas that I may not have otherwise picked up if it hadn’t been for the covers looking as lovely as they do. This made me realize how important it is for a manga to have a cover that is either pleasing to the eye, or intriguing enough for a potential reader to pick it up.

I thought that I would make today’s post dedicated to the manga that had covers on them that led me to read them. If you have ever read a because of how the cover looked, feel free to share! I am always looking for new manga to read.

I would love any feedback you have on my blog posts! Do you like having the description under each title, or would you prefer I do a mini review on each manga? If there are any mangas that I’ve included in a post that you’d like a commentary on (or any other questions) please send an ask/message!

1. Children of the Whales by Abi Umeda

In this post-apocalyptic fantasy, a sea of sand swallows everything but the past. In an endless sea of sand drifts the Mud Whale, a floating island city of clay and magic. In its chambers, a small community clings to survival, cut off from its own history by the shadows of the past. Chakuro is the archivist for the Mud Whale, diligently chronicling the lives and deaths of his people. As one of the short-lived thymia wielders, he knows his time is limited and is determined to leave a better record than his predecessors. But the steady pace of their isolated existence on the Mud Whale is abruptly shattered when a scouting party discovers a mysterious young girl who seems to know more about their home than they do…

2. Happiness by Shuzo Oshimi

THE THIRST Nothing interesting is happening in Makoto Ozaki's first year of high school. HIs life is a series of quiet humiliations: low-grade bullies, unreliable friends, and the constant frustration of his adolescent lust. But one night, a pale, thin girl knocks him to the ground in an alley and offers him a choice. Now everything is different. Daylight is searingly bright. Food tastes awful. And worse than anything, is the terrible, consuming thirst. The tiny shames of his old life has been replaced by two towering horrors: the truth of what will slake his awful craving, and high school itself.

3. Pluto: Urasawa x Tezuka by Naoki Urasawa 

In a distant future where sentient humanoid robots pass for human, someone or something is out to destroy the seven great robots of the world. Europol’s top detective Gesicht is assigned to investigate these mysterious robot serial murders—the only catch is that he himself is one of the seven targets.

3. Gokusai no Ie [極彩の家] by Bikke

Deep in the mountains, there is a temple where children with beautiful hair colors have been gathered and have lived together since very young. One day, a newcomer from the outside world joins these children, and he happens to have the rarest color of them all: jet-black. Unaccustomed to the culture and way of life of the temple-dwellers, how will he fare in this new environment?
