Jujutsu Kaisen
呪術廻戦
vol. 0

https://manga-republic.com/product/product_page_46855.html

The movie is now scheduled to be released on Dec 24th, 2021!
Absolutely one of the most featured series throughout the world for the first half of 2021!

Since Jujutsu Kaisen’s anime series started to air in 2019, it’s become overwhelmingly popular throughout the world! I have to say that Volume 0 was one of the best-selling comics for the first half of 2021 and also will be a MUST-READ volume towards the latter half of the year!
This Volume 0 is a spinoff series (prequel), depicting the story before Volume 1. It’s also the volume full of mysteries you might want to speculate since it covers an important character’s past, work and secret. So, for those who haven’t read it yet, give it a try! If you can, read it before Dec 24th, 2021, when the movie releases!!

The battle between “Oni (demon)” and “Hero” in the modern world!
Don’t miss out on a now-hot series, currently serialized in Weekly Shōnen Champion!

Do you guys know the story called ‘Momotaro (Peach Boy)’? It’s a Japanese folktale, where ‘Momotaro,’ who was born from a peach, fight against Oni, who marauded over their land, with his animal friends……
What if that folktale was a true story…… What if Momotaro and the descendants of Oni are still fighting in the modern world……?
This story contains quite a violent battle! With some flashy and powerful battle scenes, this series has become one of the most popular series in the first half of 2021! For those who haven’t heard of this series, or those who have been looking for a new-style shōnen manga, this is the one!!

Kara no Kioku
虚の記憶
vol. 1

https://manga-republic.com/product/product_page_1258488.html

A group of lonely youths meet in town, filled with “strange Inhumans.”
Volume 1 of the most popular and featured mysterious manga series is now releasing!

As we, humans, feel warmth, kindness, the colors and transparency…… maybe our mind ‘has its shape.’ But…… what if there existed the world, where such mind develops its own personality and lives on its own?
Once you start reading this series, Kara no Kioku, you will be addicted to it! The story, full of a mysterious and transient worldview, attracts many people! You might feel as if you are reading a spooky children’s book…… It’s so scary but makes us want to read more! This is one of the best parts about this series!
I have a feeling…… it might be made into an anime series around 2022? Here’s one of the most anticipated series!

What if “the organizations they belong to are switched”?
It’s Bungo Stray Dogs’ spinoff series, depicting “What If Story,” that can’t happen!

Speaking of Bungo Stray Dogs, it’s such a popular series, which has been made into both an anime and a movie! ……What if ‘the organizations that the two main protagonists’ belong to’ are switched……?
The ‘What If Story’ depicted in the novel is now being comicalized! It’s also scheduled to be made into a live action movie! This is the one which I want everybody who knows Bungo Stray Dogs to read!!

Shounen no Abyss
少年のアビス
vol. 1-4

https://manga-republic.com/product/product_page_1331072.html

This is a “Suicide Love Story” which we could not take our eye off of MOST in the first half of 2021.
One day, a boy found hope from “dying” ……

A boy, living in the countryside, has become hopeless for his future, being stuck in the confined town, looking after his family. One day, a super popular idol shows up in front of him and says to him, ‘Why don’t we commit suicide together?’
This is a forbidden series, depicting ‘darkness’ of human relationship, which we should not depict as a human drama but we might see somewhere around the world. ‘What’s gonna happen to this unhappy boy……?’ Don’t start reading this story, thinking that way.

Megumi to Tsugumi
めぐみとつぐみ

The best recommended BL series in the first half of 2021!
Here’s a crazy love comedy with a theme “Omegaverse” depicting a top student and a yankee!

A BL manga that I want to recommend to you guys most in the first half of 2021 is Megumi to Tsugumi!

Junai Dropout
純愛ドロップアウト
vol. 1

https://manga-republic.com/product/product_page_54235.html

The guy who suddenly shows up in front of a man who works at the coffee shop is…… a pervert salaryman!?
It’s extreme but somehow a refreshing story!
This gap is the best part! Try this popular “one-shot type” BL comic!

This is the one-shot type with only 1 volume BL manga, which I want to recommend most! Junai Dropout!
While the cover has a strong impact, the storyline is extremely detailed, which is one of the reasons why it’s popular! It’s a highly rated series with comments like, “The impact on the cover was so strong but once I read it, I enjoyed it a lot, finding out it’s a classic-type BL story!” You can casually read it because it concludes only with 1 Volume!

Hit Series for the first half of the year 2021
Category: Shōjo Manga

Tsubaki-chou Lonely Planet
椿町ロンリープラネット
Entire Series (14 Volumes in Total)

https://manga-republic.com/product/product_page_4588.html

Concluded and got even more popular!
It’s a crazy ‘sharing-house’ love story with a serious high school girl and a little mean popular writer!

The next series I want to recommend in the first half of 2021 is the one which has concluded with 14 volumes! It’s Tsubaki-chou Lonely Planet, depicting a super classic-type love story!
One of the most important elements in shōjo manga are the emotional description between the characters and the storyline. This series has both of them, and quite detailed. It’s been highly rated by many people! It’s literally a classic-type love story!! If you want to read a concluded shōjo manga or a classic love story between two clumsy people, I would recommend this one to you!!
