New Manga reader. I LOVE Shadows House. Recommend similar storytelling?

I recently returned to reading Manga and have an unhealthy love for SHADOWS HOUSE. I’m currently on Chap. 106 and am just marveling at how well it’s crafted. I love the way Samato writes these characters and paces this story. I actually give a hell about all the real seeming characters in there!

so - not so much in terms of themes, but more in terms of “A good story well told” - what are some manga that completely blew you away in terms of how much you cared about the characters?

i’m a completely jaded former manga hater. This series made me want to protect Emilico like she is a real person!

I think you can try reading March Comes in Like a Lion by Chica Umino. This is a slice-of-life masterpiece about shogi, depression, and found family. Subtle, beautiful, and full of characters you’ll want to hug.

A good story well told

I would highly recommend Hirayasumi, the characters are so well written. How the story progress subtly and the relationships between everyone are perfectly paced and realistic.
