The Most Exciting New Sci-fi Manga of 2022 - Colorless Manga by KENT

Ойын-сауық

I'm excited to showcase Colorless by KENT, an underrated gem and the best new sci-fi manga I've read in 2022. It has everything I could ever want in a manga. Striking art, a thrilling premise, a story full of mystery and intrigue, a dark and rich world, a dystopian cyberpunk setting, cool character designs and more.

    This could be the sleeper hit of the year. I really enjoyed vol 1 and can't wait for the 2nd. I wonder if down the road they'll actually use a panel of color to really hit home a story/plot point. Great video.

    Agree about it potentially being the sleeper hit of the year! It's an underrated gem for sure. I wonder about that too. It would be cool if something happens where the color comes back and you see these vibrant panels. Love the pops of color and black and white pages but that would be beautiful to see! Thank you so much!

    I have Volume 1-5 in Japanese and i can safely say that yeah they will. I did not read the 5th volume but the 4th one made this into my favourite manga of all time it's going to be an amazing ride and i definetely buying the english volumes as well.

    Interesting, I had no idea that KENT also worked on concept art for anime statues, that's super cool. I adore this manga as well, and I basically will say a massive YES to everything you mentioned in the video. You did such an amazing, quick and on point rundown of what makes this series so special. The art style and whole aesthetic in the manga is so appealing, ngl I'll be shook if this ever gets an anime, it would look so cool! I'm super happy to hear that Seven Seas sent you a review copy again, hopefully other publishers also start collabing with you more closely! Also, I appreciated the design of the thumbnail, it's so appropriate for this video!

    Definitely cool! Always awesome when two of my favorite hobbies collide in some fashion. I love KENT's Knights of Sidonia illustrations too 🤯 I really appreciate everything you said so much! I always am so thankful to you and your kind words. And yes! Agreed about an anime. That would be amazing. The aesthetic is one of the big things that really hooked me in to Colorless too. I remember talking to you about this one at some point. I know you did a video on it too. The other covers look beautiful. I would love to collaborate with more publishers! That would be amazing. Definitely not something I ever expect, but I am truly grateful to Seven Seas for sending this one over. I'm excited to get more of the volumes in store! Ah man, thank you!!! I was stressing over this thumbnail, because I wanted it to represent the series well so thank you so much for saying that! Hope you are doing well!!!

Giger and the bleak Darwinistic Universe of Aliens where Homo Sapiens are thier own worst enemy since 1996 I’ve been a Dark Horse Aliens and Predator freak. I have the Battle Angel Alita collection and the film - the first time for some reason the chemistry for my brain wasn’t right but during lock downs I saw it twice on the big screen and it’s out of THIS WORLD holy ****! I’m dying for another Aliens Arc they say Ridley Scott is directing a pre-quell but I was so HOPING for a sequel to the 2017 Alien Covenant wirh Michael Fasbender I saw it at LEAST ten times can’t get enough !!!!!👑🌎

    KZread is sometimes scary and eerie. I found volume 1&2 of Colorless as a bundle at a boardgames shop that usually doesn't sell mangas. I was captivated by the art style and bought them. Two days after the purchase, this video shows up as a recommendation. I never watch videos discussing mangas and I never visited or even heard of this channel. It's like a supernova of coincidences. Great video and a sweet channel. I might step by again. I wish you success and hope you will retain your passion.

  • @AnimeCollective

    @AnimeCollective

    2 жыл бұрын

    Hey! Stacking manga upright is definitely better than stacking them sideways, because it distributes weight better on the shelf. When they are stacked sideways, the weight isn't distributed as well. It's better for the volumes to stack them upright also. The only thing I would say to watch out for is shelf bowing, which could be an issue with so much weight on the shelf. Hope that helps!
