The Vacuum of Power

The "Dark Trio" era is ending. Jujutsu Kaisen and My Hero Academia are wrapping up. Millions of fans are asking: "What do I read next?"

Don't worry. The next generation is already here, and they are incredibly stylish. Here are the 3 manga poised to rule the next decade.

1. Sakamoto Days

The Pitch: John Wick meets The Way of the Househusband. Sakamoto was the world's greatest assassin. Then he fell in love, got married, and got fat. Now he runs a convenience store. But the assassin world won't leave him alone. Why Read: The action choreography is the best in the industry. The author uses the environment (shelves, pens, receipts) in fights in genius ways.

Get into it: The anime is coming. Read it first. Buy Sakamoto Days Vol. 1 on Amazon.

2. Dandadan

The Pitch: X-Files on crack. Momo believes in ghosts. Okarun believes in aliens. They are both right. This series is pure chaos. It mixes horror, rom-com, and sci-fi battles. Why Read: The art is insane. The double-page spreads are incredibly detailed, and the relationship between the two leads is genuinely sweet.

3. Kagurabachi

The Pitch: Kill Bill with magic swords. "Enough time has passed." What started as a meme became a hit. Chihiro is on a path of vengeance to retrieve his father's enchanted katanas. Why Read: It feels like classic early 2000s edgy shonen (like Bleach), but with cinematic paneling. It’s gritty, cool, and unapologetic.

Honorable Mentions

• Akane-banashi: A masterpiece about Rakugo storytelling.

Conclusion: The Future is Bright

Shonen Jump isn't dying; it’s evolving. These series are weirder, faster, and more experimental than the old guard.
