ChurchHatesTucker ☑#MangaMonday 73 “Young Magazine USA” by Various Artists
I try to read an entire work (at least the official English releases) before recommending it, but this week is a little different. It’s a single volume anthology #manga containing twenty chapters—over 1,000 pages—and it’s free!
Young Magazine is an established brand in Japan; they ran “Akira” and “Initial D” among others. Now they’ve released an English language sampler so new readers can get a taste of their stories and vote on the ones they want to see more of. I’m about halfway through, and I’m impressed at the variety of offerings (from #SciFi to #Horror to #LGBT) as well as the quality.
If you were at Anime NYC this weekend, or live near one of the 17 US Kinokuniya stores, you might be lucky enough to get your hands on a physical copy. For the rest of us it’s available free for the remainder of 2025 at https://young-magazine-usa.com (or pretty much any digital outlet that offers Kodansha products.)
