I got hooked on 'Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan' a few years back, and it’s one of those series that feels like a hidden gem. The manga, written by Hiroshi Shiibashi, has a total of 25 volumes. It’s a fantastic blend of supernatural action and Japanese folklore, with Rikuo Nura’s journey as a half-yokai leader being the heart of the story. The art style is gorgeous, especially how Shiibashi draws the yokai—some designs are downright eerie, others weirdly charming.
What I love is how the series balances epic battles with quieter character moments. The later volumes dive deeper into the Yokai world’s politics, and the final arc wraps things up satisfyingly, though I wouldn’t mind more spin-offs. If you’re into folklore-inspired stories like 'GeGeGe no Kitaro' or 'InuYasha,' this is a must-read.

Honestly, who's counting? The To All the Boys series is great and you should just read them all. Okay, fine. According to the internet, there are 11 main To All the Boys books. There are also millions of other books about Kitty’s sister, Linda. But To All the Boys features the story of Mia Corretti. I read the entire series last summer and absolutely loved it. The books get more in-depth in the later novels, exploring themes of therapy, activism and the challenges of growing up. In the 11th and final book, I felt that the author wrapped up the characters and their story lines up well and gave them a proper goodbye. 11 books is just the right number. It tells a complete story and then is done. There are so many other series that could follow this same model.

The critically acclaimed ‘Nevermoor’ series by Jessica Townsend is currently comprised of three books: ‘Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow’, ‘Wundersmith: The Calling of Morrigan Crow’ and ‘Hollowpox: The Hunt for Morrigan Crow’. The books follow Morrigan Crow, a determined and feisty protagonist, as she journeys through the magical world of Nevermoor, full of wonder and magic, facing various challenges and dangers along the way. The first book sets up Morrigan’s escape from her cursed life and subsequent arrival in Nevermoor in search of a new beginning.
Jessica Townsend has a brilliant way with words, transporting readers to Nevermoor with his wonderful descriptions of all the people that Morrigan meets. It’s a really light-hearted read, but has some deeper moments too. We’re told that more books are going to be added to the series, and I for one cannot wait to continue the adventures of Morrigan Crow in this fascinating and original take on fantasy.

Nineteen volumes was the perfect length for our book club. My local manga club took six months to read it, reading three volumes per meeting. The series sparked some of the best discussions our club has had so far. We got to discuss the ethics of Moriarty’s actions, analyze the historical references, and even try to predict how the series would end (most of us were wrong). A series that’s too short doesn’t have enough content for discussion, but a series that’s too long is difficult to schedule for a book club. All in all, a thought-provoking series to read with your friends. Just be prepared for some heated discussions regarding justice and whether the ends justify the means.

The manga 'A Silent Voice' by Yoshitoki Ōima is a beautiful, emotional journey that really stuck with me. It originally ran from 2013 to 2014 in 'Weekly Shōnen Magazine' and was later compiled into seven tankōbon volumes. What I love about this series is how it tackles heavy themes like bullying, redemption, and communication with such raw honesty. The way Shoya’s growth is portrayed across those volumes feels so organic—it’s one of those stories where every chapter adds something vital.
I’d also mention that Kodansha released an English version, and the physical copies are gorgeous. The seventh volume even includes some bonus content, like author notes and extra illustrations, which fans (myself included) totally geek out over. If you’re into stories that leave you thinking long after the last page, this one’s a must-read.

Now as an adult, watching this show, I have come to realize a lot of characteristics around romance. For one, Usagi and Mamoru have a huge age and maturity difference. They kind of gloss over this aspect in the series but it would be very apparent if they were in real life. Then there’s Makoto who wants a boyfriend so badly because of his past and how he abandoned his family. Minako on the other hand wants to be an idol so badly but has to go to school and grow up. And then there’s Rei who is initially very jealous in the series of Mamoru and Usagi. I think the show portrays these romantic ideals but shows the anxiety, the miscommunication, and the growth needed to make these kinds of relationships work. It’s more real and complex than people give it credit for.

This is going to make me a big nerd, but I'm pretty much still a little kid. I love a good series of books and then re-reading them to catch all of the little details that I missed the first time through. There is an original 5 book story arc for Percy Jackson & the Olympians. The books are The Lightning Thief, The Sea of Monsters, The Titan's Curse, The Battle of the Labyrinth, and The Last Olympian. I read these all in a weekend once and felt that the world that Riordan created was completely finished by the end of the fifth book. He didn't stretch it out too long, it was just right.
So beyond the five-book story arc of ‘Percy Jackson & the Olympians’ there are many more books, series and short stories by Rick Riordan set in the same universe. But to answer your original question, the original ‘Percy Jackson’ series by Rick Riordan is 5 books long. My favorite book changes from time to time, but currently my favorite is the first book, ‘The Lightning Thief’, which I still love for the newness and wonder of it all. Want a re-read buddy?

This is a digital library of 4 hard cover books. They are all available on my Kindle. Unfortunately, it was a real challenge to get these published as e-books several years ago. However, they are now once again available as e-books. Each of these lengthy novels is substantially longer than a light novel published in pamphlet form. And, although there are only 4 entries in this library, there is plenty of reading material here to fully immerse yourself in this extraordinary world.

The manga adaptation of 'I Want to Eat Your Pancreas' is a beautiful, heart-wrenching story that really digs into the emotional depths of its characters. It was serialized in 'Shounen Magazine Edge' and later compiled into two tankobon volumes. The first volume covers the initial meeting between the protagonist and Sakura, while the second wraps up their bittersweet journey. I love how the manga expands on the original light novel's themes, especially with the artwork capturing those quiet, intimate moments. It's one of those stories that lingers in your mind long after you finish it—definitely worth picking up if you're into poignant, character-driven narratives.
What’s interesting is how the manga manages to balance humor and tragedy so effortlessly. Sakura’s vibrant personality shines through the pages, making the emotional payoff even more impactful. The two-volume format feels just right—compact enough to binge in an afternoon but dense enough to leave a lasting impression. If you’ve only watched the anime or read the novel, the manga offers a fresh perspective with its visual storytelling.

And if you’re buying this, then please purchase the official digital or printed release. This will have the correct number of chapters and will be supporting the authors. The exact number of chapters isn’t really relevant here, as it can vary depending on the source you’re reading from. What really matters is the quality of the translation and whether or not it is complete.
