Manga That Deserve an Anime Adaptation – Top 10

10. Spy x Family: First, let's start with this current hit. It was recently released and has already gained thousands of fans! Furthermore, the plot is quite original, focusing on a spy who receives orders to start a family and begin a new life! Incidentally, it's the only one on the list that has already received an anime announcement, scheduled for 2022!

9. Real: Here, we see a beautiful work created by the master Inoue! He, who has always stood out for his three fantastic works, and Real is one of them. Furthermore, it's a story geared more towards an adult audience, with psychological themes and spectacular drama. Only those who have read it know the value of this manga.

8. Yotsuba to!: This one is sure to warm everyone's heart! The story is light and easygoing, plus it's a slice-of-life manga, meaning it's casual and simple. I highly recommend reading this manga.

7. Solo Leveling: And who here doesn't know this manhwa yet? It's a hit right now, and I believe it's only a matter of time before it gets an anime adaptation. So, we can be very hopeful to see our beloved Korean hero in action, whether in dungeons or against monarchs!

6. Gamaran: Now, to close out the top 10, we have this fabulous martial arts masterpiece! It features plenty of action, well-structured fights, and unique characters. Therefore, it's undoubtedly a work that would be very successful if it received an anime adaptation.

5. I Am a Hero: And this one couldn't be left out. It encompasses a series of genres that will get you hooked! Whether it's the psychological drama or the sharp critiques we see in the work, I Am a Hero certainly deserves a place here. In fact, the work is already finished and has over 250 chapters for you to enjoy while you wait for the anime.

04. Oyasumi Punpun: This one can be considered a manga classic. It's a must-read for any otaku and stands out for its mix of themes. It features exotic comedy, unparalleled drama, and unforgettable scenes. Moreover, it's notable for the author's talent in drawing the manga, as he possesses a fantastic style.

And our top 3 starts with a Light Novel. However, this list was supposed to be only manga, but I had to include this work. Because, of all the novels/manga I've read, this one remains my favorite. There, we can follow a surreal plot, with perfect characters and very well-crafted stories.

02. 20th Century Boys

This is another classic of Japanese comics. In it, we can see the entire plot, which begins with something childish but becomes a global mystery. Without a doubt, following the children's growth into adulthood was a unique experience. And the suspense of discovering who the "friend" was at the end was a real surprise!

01. Vagabond

Manga - Vagabond
Manga – Vagabond

Finally, let's highlight another gem from the great Inoue. In Vagabond, we can see a unique plot involving fantastic battles that deeply affects your psyche. We also can't forget that the story was inspired by a real samurai. I would certainly love to see an anime adaptation of this work.

Well folks, that was our list for the day, and if you have any criticism or suggestions, leave them in the comments. Until next time!
