I fucking love Kaiji. I've read the first three parts. I just finished the mahjong minefield, not counting the firet part that isn't translated but I am watching the anime.
I know Fukumoto has other manga with similar themes. What would be a good one to start next by him?

>Akagi is about mahjong

Attached: 1586896249921.jpg (640x480, 69.81K)

I know that much but my majohng knowledge is pretty limited. I sort of started to understand a little bit of it by the end of Kaiji's 3rd arc but that's pretty limited to the weird version they were playing and I feel like I'd be lost in Akagi.

In comparison with minefild mahjong, the mahjong on akagi is basic by the book

I'll try it out then. Hopefully I get it.
I've seen other Fukumoto manga talked about before. Do you have any recommendations?

Sankyou Densetsu Kurosawa

Kaiji got kind of tired towards the end

Buraiden Gai

Start with Strongest Man Kurosawa, one of his best.
Then you have Akagi (anime+manga) which leads into Ten, the author's magnum opus. I'd advise to keep that for last, it's pretty deep.

You can read smaller stories like Buraiden Gai (action manga, 5 volumes) and Tobaku Haouden Zero (gambling, 2 parts, each with about 10 volumes).

strongest man is great. I need to reread it. never heard of akagi. how is that

It's great.
I'd advise playing the mahjong soul tutorial in order to get a better grasp of the game before starting, though.

Thanks for the suggestions

I just binged all season 2 yesterday, shit was great.
I could've never imagined you could manage to make something as mundane as a fucking pachinko machine so intense.

The author made 2 guys sitting at a table playing Chinese domino for twenty (20) years interesting

Yeah i heard about that one, how many volumes did it take? 20 years worth of weekly releases would be close to 100 volumes but i doubt it's that long.

They were monthly releases, so "only" 240 chapters and I loved every part of it

How does fukumoto do it?

Ten was one of the greatest manga I have ever read. I should give it a re-read one day.

One of the only life-changing pieces of fiction I've seen

Is it long/keeps its strength towards the end?
I found I liked kaiji the gambler I got kind of bored of he escalation of gambling as it got towards the end

It unironically made me cry my eyes out.

The best arc is the last one, everything before is hardcore mahjong compared to what's in Akagi

Ten is 18 volumes long. What makes everyone cry are the last 3 volumes, in which the characters don't gamble. They just talk, and it's really moving.

Akagi is a bit longer, around 35 volumes if I recall, but you can read it pretty fast. The anime is a great adaptation of the first parts.

Unrivaled masterpiece.

If you want something with no mahjong then Zero and Buraiden Gai fits the bill but Zero is an incomplete manga with no ending in sight since Fukumoto put it on the back burner. Tonegawa is a fun series if you want something lighthearted and funny.

I didn't even know this existed.

Unrivaled masterpiece.

I'm downloading it right now so if it's not a masterpiece, I'm blaming you user.

I will wait, you make sure to let me know if it is or isn't an unrivaled masterpiece. I will wait. Where do you download from by the way?

I normally just grab raw volumes off of nyaa. It's not really a bulletproof strategy but usually seeds show up eventually. Sometimes there are links to DDLs but often the files are removed.

>not watching Akagi
cringe

I just read this on mangadoom since it was on my radar and you reminded me of it.

It was okay.

>raw
can you read japanese or is there some other way to do it?

Unrivaled masterpiece.

I wouldn't be grabbing raws if I couldn't read them user.

I'm still waiting.

You're gonna be waiting a long while.
There's 0 seeders.

I got all the time in the world, i will be waiting for your response.

The nips need to wake up and fucking seed me.
