    Poisonings. Curses. One girl Solves All | Manga Monday

    Welcome to Manga Monday! This week we're diving into The Apothecary Diaries, based on Natsu Hyuuga's light novel and adapted into manga by Nekokurage, a mystery series set in an imperial court that shouldn't work as well as it does. Maomao is a 17 year old apothecary raised in the red light district who gets kidnapped and sold as a servant in the emperor's rear palace. She plans to keep her head down and survive her term quietly, but when the emperor's infant children start dying, she can't help herself. She figures out the cause, leaves an anonymous tip, and immediately catches the eye of Jinshi, the impossibly beautiful palace official who promotes her from laundry maid to poison taster. What follows is a medical mystery series wrapped in court intrigue, where Maomao solves cases with pharmacology, logic, and an unhinged enthusiasm for poison that borders on concerning. She's blunt, stubborn, and completely immune to Jinshi's charm, which only makes him more obsessed. The anime adaptation became a global hit, season two has already aired, and the manga has over 30 million copies in circulation. If you want a protagonist who's more interested in testing toxins on herself than romance, this is your series.

    A Dark Hero Story About Being Forced to Become a Monster | Manga Monday

    Welcome to Manga Monday! This week we're diving into Choujin X by Sui Ishida, the creator of Tokyo Ghoul returning to manga entirely on his own terms. Tokio Kurohara has spent his whole life as a bystander, stumbling along in the shadow of his best friend Azuma who's better at everything. When the two are attacked by a superhuman mutant called a Choujin, Tokio injects himself with a transformation serum to save them both and is thrust into a world where superhumans are feared, policed, and hunted. But this isn't just another power fantasy. It's about a passive kid learning who he actually is when he stops living in someone else's footsteps. Ishida publishes on his own schedule after burning out on Tokyo Ghoul, and you can feel it. The art is rawer and more experimental, the tone swings from unhinged comedy to gut punch horror without warning, and it reads like an artist finally making exactly what he wants to make. Over 2 million copies in circulation. This one shows.

    A Girl Walks Alone in Beautiful Ruins. No Humans Left | Manga Monday

    Welcome to Manga Monday! This week we're diving into The Color of the End by Haruo Iwamune, a post-apocalyptic seinen running in Harta that reads like the intersection of Blame! and Mushishi in the best way possible. Fifty years after alien creatures called Executioners wiped out most of humanity, a young researcher named Saya walks alone through the beautiful, empty ruins of civilisation. Her mission is simple: find survivors and cleanse the land of the toxic disease the aliens left behind. Every chapter is a quiet, devastating encounter with what's left, abandoned robots still performing tasks for masters who died decades ago, pockets of survivors clinging to reasons to keep going, and a world that is simultaneously breathtaking and completely hopeless. The art is stunning, the pacing is patient, and it treats loneliness not as a plot device but as something you physically feel on every page. Ranked on Kono Manga ga Sugoi 2024 and licensed by Yen Press. If you want something that sits with you long after you put it down, this one will.

    Holy Exorcist Meets Alleged Demon Summon. Love Blooms | Manga Monday

    Welcome to Manga Monday! This week we're diving into Make the Exorcist Fall in Love, written by Aruma Arima and illustrated by Masuku Fukayama, a supernatural action romance on Shonen Jump+ that has no business being this emotionally devastating. Joshua is a 16 year old boy chosen by God to be the world's strongest exorcist, trained and abused by the Church since childhood to fight Demon Lords. All he actually wants to do is bake sweets and live in peace. Then Imuri enters his life, a warm, loving girl who becomes his reason to keep going. The catch? She's a succubus sent by Satan himself to make him fall in love. What starts as a premise that sounds like a rom-com becomes something far deeper, a story about a broken boy learning he's allowed to want things for himself, wrapped in a bloody holy war. The art is gorgeous, the action is brutal, the romance is genuinely earned, and the way it critiques religious extremism and the weaponisation of children is sharper than most seinen even attempt. Fifteen volumes in and it just keeps getting better. This one's a rare gem.
