woman and beast

A new interpretation of an all-time classic

• Genre: Political drama, comedy, action, romance, tragedy, reincarnation
• Writers and Artists: Maginot Line

The premise is woman and beast This work is essentially the same as the classic fairy tale written by Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve, an unknown author who created one of the greatest love fairy tales of all time. But this manga has been overlooked for years, despite having the potential to be a great anime.

Either the writer (or writers) don't want to give it the animated treatment yet, or there aren't enough open-minded creators to see the raw potential of this romantic and tragic story. But the manga is good, and it gets better with each chapter.

Elethid

The highest quality has been reached.

• genre: Boy, Action, Comedy, Supernatural, Urban Fantasy, Martial Arts
• author: Son Je-ho
• artist: Jenna

It's rare that readers discover a manga with so much potential and wonder why it doesn't have an anime series yet. There is a strange case like this Elesid. It has all the good qualities of a killer action/comedy series, making it ideal for a younger audience, but there has been no talk of an animated series yet.

The reason comics continue beyond 200 episodes is because the audience demands more. And if audiences are clamoring for more adventures from Kayden and his underdog student Jiwoo, they'll get what they want. Unfortunately, it's a lesser known comic and very niche. It will take some time for it to rank globally in terms of comic value.

Decent isekai, really rare.

• Artist: green kirin

Everyone criticizes isekai because the genre has been stagnant for many years. Fortunately, Extra Academy Survival Guide We have everything you need to bring a breath of fresh air to your niche. This lesser known manga doesn't follow the traditional broken characters or harem route tropes.

However, it is true that in the last few chapters the main character, Ed Rothstaylor, has built up the favor of many of the academy's students, many of whom seem to flatter him (both male and female). I hope it doesn't turn into another cliché isekai. So far, the narrative quality and art style have shown that it has achieved a good status among fans of the genre and will likely maintain that status for many years to come. Perhaps an animated series will follow.

However, it is one of the lesser known comic series that seems too niche to deserve the spotlight. Or, more appropriately, visible under appropriate lighting. In cases like this, a producer with a sufficiently open mind should come along and catch it before it's too late and it loses traction. The drawing is great, and the character designs are so beautiful. Perfect for someone to try and animate.
