Taiju Ooki was finally ready to confess his love to his crush, when his romantic plans got interrupted by a flash of light that struck the Earth. Every human turned into stone and remained like that for thousands of years, until one day Taiju woke up. The previous world doesn’t exist anymore, and nature has claimed its victory over humanity. Senku, Taiju’s friend who also wakes up, has always been interested in science. And now he wants to rebuild civilization using science. If you’re craving for something smart, it’s time to read this manga. And you can watch the anime too, of course!

Fire Punch

The first thing you need to know is that this manga is written by the author of Chainsaw Man, Tatsuki Fujimoto, and this information can already tell you a lot about the vibe of the series. The world has been frozen, the never-ending winter is making people suffer and starve. But Agni, who possesses the ability of superhuman regeneration, finds an unusual way of solving the issue: he keeps having his arms cut off and feeding people with them. Until one day another person with a blessing (the said supernatural abilities) comes into their village and does the unthinkable due to his disgust with cannibalism. If you’re into dark stuff and Chainsaw Man, this might be just the manga for you.

Fire Force (Enen no Shouboutai)

During the Great Cataclysm that happened many years ago and set the world on fire, many nations were wiped out. The Tokyo Empire is the only area that survived, but most of the world is in ruins. Now humans are capable of spontaneously combusting and turning into Infernals. These demon-like creatures wreak havoc on society, and Fire Force is the brigade that is tasked to deal with such creatures. Shinra Kusakabe can ignite his feet at will, which is the ability he will have to use while fighting Infernals and solving the mystery of his family’s death.

Akira

During World War III, Tokyo was destroyed in an explosion. Thirty one years later, in 2019, Neo-Tokyo is built on the ruins of the old city. The city is torn by terrorism and gang violence. Tetsuo Shima and Shoutarou Kaneda are members of one of the gangs. After an accident, Tetsuo gets dragged into a government conspiracy involving psychic powers and a mysterious entity known as Akira, which may impact the lives of everyone in Neo-Tokyo.
