I have read through alot of modern manga/manwha recently after taking a break from manga for over a decade. Back in the day my favorite manga were Berserk, Vagabond, Kingdom and Vinland Saga.
Let me preface this by saying that women fighters is a trope I despise so I will try to list some recent manga’s I’ve read that doesn’t use this tired trope – or at least use it sparingly.
Here are some of my recommendations for modern manga:
1. Return of Mount Hua Sect: This is an Isekai manga where the main character dies fighting the Demon King and is reborn as a young boy. The animation, story, characters and world building are top notch. Must read and you will be instantly hooked.
2. Barbarian Quest: This manga gives me Conan vibes where a barbarian comes to the civilized world and starts a mercenary band. Also gives me Spartacus vibes and a little bit of Berserk. Definitely worth checking out.
3. Solo Leveling: Well known manga that has the standard dungeon break trope seen in alot of modern manga. Still the art, story and main character drew me in and never let go. Another advantage is this is a completed manga so you can read it from start to finish.
Does anyone else have any manga recommendations that don’t heavily feature women fighters?
