A lot of different manga- A commentary

My father read manga so naturally I picked up manga at a super young age. Back then I wasn't picky, so a lot of the titles we were required to read is all familiar to me. It wasn't until senior year of high school when I started gaining tastes and started choosing titles more carefully. 

  

So the most interesting title out of all of Tezuka's work in my opinion is Black Jack. Reading this always gave me a sort of uneasiness sometimes because some of the topics it tackles like inevitable death and sacrifice. It made sense because it was a manga about a man's medical fantastic adventure. Whether it was saving someones life and not gaining any recognition for it or teaching some ignorant man a lesson it was always another chapter to look forward to. 

Although Tezuka was more involved with manga, to this day he is still referred to the godfather of anime. Without him, the popularity of anime/manga to even international proportions might have never happened. 

Now coming into more modern times I also read Bakuman back when it was new. It was made by the creator of Death Note, so I wanted to see this refreshing new genre that he was taking on. (Death note was mystery/thriller whereas Bakuman is slice of llife) I never finished the manga, but watched the anime when it released. It was extremely informational and really gave me a taste of the real world of the manga industry through something well.. published by the manga industry. Looking back on it now the only thing that I wish it delved into more was the poor payments and harsh schedules of working for the manga/anime idustry.
