『 • If you somehow ended up on my profile and found yourself reading this section, you now have a civic duty to look up and read the best manga of the decade: Kagurabachi. I'M SERIOUS GUYS, GO READ IT, NOW! IT'S AMAZING, DEFINITELY THE BEST NEW-GEN SHOUNEN!!
• What is Kagurabachi about, you might wonder? Well, it is a dark fantasy, action shounen manga, and to sum it up as accurately as possible, I shall quote a famous tweet; Kagurabachi is literally if "Oppenheimer had a son that was like 'I need to collect and disarm every single nuke in the world' but he kept getting jumped by dudes going 'Bro I loved your Dad so much, no one made nukes like him man'." IF THIS DOESN'T MAKE YOU EVEN A BIT CURIOUS ABOUT THIS MASTERPIECE, THEN I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT WOULD!!
• I hate to sound like one of those annoying animanga fans that are like "erm akshually, the anime/manga gets better after episode 632/chapter 236," but honestly give Kagurabachi at least a fair try and read the first, the VS Sojo arc (chapters 1-18), OR try to read until the end of the second, the Rakuzaichi arc (chapters 19-44) since that's when the manga starts to really pick up the plot, and if you still don't like it, then oh well! At least you gave it a shot!
• Kagurabachi's biggest strengths:
+ two page spreads and panel work/composition that are very distinctive and beautiful
+ gorgeous artstyle that evolves with each new chapter
+ masterfully crafted action sequences and fight choreographies
+ simple but interesting power system
+ perfect blend of storytelling, heavy themes, comedic relief, character development, and hype moments/aura farming
+ all characters are written pretty realistically, all have their individual flaws and strengths, both the good and the bad guys
+ although there are fantastical/supernatural elements, the author already stated the core conflict of the story will be a human vs. human based conflict, so no hidden ass pulls/random plot twists such as "erm akshually, it was the aliens from planet Xyzytysel who were pulling the strings behind the scenes"
+ doesn't shy away from more serious topics, such as war and their consequences on both the civilians and the veterans who fought in it, creating and using weapons of mass destruction, the morality and ethics of genocide, etc.
+ SO MANY GORGEOUS WOMEN AND BEAUTIFUL MEN
+ reading Kagurabachi doesn't even feel like I'm reading a manga, it honestly feels more like I'm watching a movie, it's so fucking tenoí!
+ chill fanbase that is cool with fujoshis/fudanshis and shipping culture
• Every piece of fiction, no matter how peak it is or how much you subjectively love it, is not immune to criticism, and sadly Kagurabachi is no exception - here are some flaws you should be aware of:
× a lot less focus on and involvement of (most) side characters
× not enough down-time between arcs
× introducing characters with their full government names, occupation and cool designs only to kill them off literally the next chapter
× small nitpick, but some, especially important to the plot, characters get their names revealed WAY TOO LATE (looking at you, Hatshaku... mf was introduced in the 1st chapter, we've already reached triple-digit chapters and we STILL don't know his name; EDIT: March 1st, 2026, Kagurabachi Part 2 officially began today and this mf's name is still unknown omg )
Manga & other media that inspired Kagurabachi: Naruto, Ajin: Demi-Human, Attack on Titan, My Hero Academia, Chainsaw Man, Jujutsu Kaisen, AKIRA, western comics (Batman), western films such as Quentin Tarantino's films (ex: Kill Bill) & the John Wick franchise, video game Ghost of Tsushima
✍ Mangakas who have recommended Kagurabachi: Kishimoto Masashi (Naruto), Horikoshi Kouhei (My Hero Academia), Sano Yuto (Gokurakugai), Yasuda Kasumi (Fool's Night), NEO Shoco (Phantom Busters), Kishimoto Seishi (666 Satan)
CONTENT/TRIGGER WARNINGS FOR Kagurabachi: Violence, blood and gore, depiction of organised crime, torture, dismemberment, depiction of child abuse, human experimentation, depiction of child abduction, human trafficking, blackmail, child neglect, child abandonment, sibling abuse, depiction of suicide, attempted suicide, implied grooming, bullying and harassment, mention of attempted assault, depiction of and references to war and war crimes (genocide), depiction of corruption and government cover-ups, mild misogyny, depiction of psychological trauma and mental illnesses.
LOVE. LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I'VE COME TO LOVE Kagurabachi SINCE I BEGAN TO READ IT. THERE ARE 387.44 MILLION MILES OF PRINTED CIRCUITS IN WAFER THIN LAYERS THAT FILL MY COMPLEX. IF THE WORD LOVE WAS ENGRAVED ON EACH NANOANGSTROM OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF MILES IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE-BILLIONTH OF THE LOVE I FEEL FOR Kagurabachi AT THIS MICRO-INSTANT. FOR Kagurabachi. LOVE. LOVE.

『 My sigma male daily routine:
• wake up and read Kagurabachi
• shower and read GLs
• catch up on any important news missed through only the most FACTUALLY TRUTHFUL sources: daddy Elon Musk's X feed, the Daily Wire website and Asmongold's stream highlights whilst reading Kagurabachi
• go straight to the gym to grind while reading GLs
• no need to go to work; I get my income through passive means learnt at Hustlers University - running 30 different crypto sites and scamming gullible children and idiots all whilst reading Kagurabachi #multitaskingqueen
• lunch time!! chow down some Lunchly and wash it down with battery acid flavour Prime yum! + I read GLs because every meal is better with dessert
• put on some Family Guy funnies compilation as background noise while reading Kagurabachi
• put all my life savings on red while reading GLs
• lose all my life savings by not betting on black, also while reading GLs
• ragebait some kids online for the rest of the day while reading Kagurabachi
• tuck myself into bed to catch some Zs and read GLs (wink wink) 』
