This is currently the most popular manga on the Shonen Jump+ app. The Plot: A girl who believes in ghosts (but not aliens) and a boy who believes in aliens (but not ghosts) dare each other to visit paranormal sites. She gets abducted by aliens; he gets cursed by a ghost. Chaos ensues. Why read it: It is absolutely bonkers. You will see a grandma ghost fighting a giant crab alien while teenagers race to recover a golden ball... that is actually a testicle. It is hilarious, romantic, and has incredible speed lines. (Anime coming soon, read the manga first).

Like Evil Dead meets John Wick directed by Quentin Tarantino. The Plot: Denji is a poor devil hunter who merges with his pet devil, Pochita, to become "Chainsaw Man." He is recruited by a government agency but only cares about achieving mundane dreams like touching boobs and eating toast with jam. Why it’s popular: It is deeply weird, incredibly violent, and shockingly emotional. The manga by Tatsuki Fujimoto is a deconstruction of the "shonen" genre. The anime adaptation by MAPPA is a cinematic masterpiece.
