If you’re looking for great manga to dive into in 2025, here are ten series that are among the most talked-about, most loved, or most promising right now. Whether you’re into action, fantasy, slice-of-life, or something darker, this list has something for you.

1. One Piece

Genre: Adventure / Fantasy / Action
Why It’s Must-Read: Even in 2025, One Piece remains at the top. The story of Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates is still drawing massive attention, volume after volume. Its continued print success and the way it weaves together long-term storytelling make it especially satisfying. 

If you’re new, this is one of those series you’ll want to start early and savor. The worldbuilding, character transformations, and mystery elements are part of why it lasts.

2. Jujutsu Kaisen

Genre: Dark Fantasy / Supernatural / Action
Why It’s Must-Read: The series has been through some of its most intense arcs recently. Battles are well drawn, stakes are high, and character development is strong. Sales remain high, and the fanbase is very engaged. 

If you like your manga with some horror touches, morally grey characters, and powerful supernatural threats, Jujutsu Kaisen is hard to beat.

3. Spy × Family

Genre: Comedy / Slice-of-Life / Spy / Drama
Why It’s Must-Read: This one is lighter than Jujutsu Kaisen or One Piece, but it balances humor, heart, and intrigue very well. The comedic setups between “fake family” pretenses and secret missions create a unique mix. It frequently shows up in top-sales lists in 2025. 

It’s a good break between heavier reads but still deeply satisfying when characters grow.

4. Blue Lock

Genre: Sports / Psychological / Action
Why It’s Must-Read: Blue Lock takes the sports genre and pushes it psychologically. It’s not just about scoring goals, but about ego, drive, and what pushes someone to be “the best.” It’s been rising in popularity in sales, especially when new volumes release. 

If you enjoy competition, internal conflict, and seeing how far people will go to achieve their dreams, this is for you.

5. Chainsaw Man (Part 2: School Arc)

Genre: Horror / Action / Psychological
Why It’s Must-Read: Part 2 of Chainsaw Man adds new layers of complexity. The “School Arc” brings in new relationships, new threats, and shifts the tone in interesting ways. It’s darker in places, more introspective in others. The art remains striking. 

It’s perfect if you want something edgy, unpredictable, with strong artistic style.

6. Dandadan

Genre: Supernatural / Comedy / Action / Romance Elements
Why It’s Must-Read: Dandadan has been getting a lot of buzz. It’s a mix of weird supernatural events, humor, action, and interesting character dynamics. If you like your stories to surprise you, this is one of the freshest things going. 

7. Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End

Genre: Fantasy / Drama / Adventure
Why It’s Must-Read: This one stands out for its more mature, emotional take on what comes after a hero’s journey. Many manga focus on the build-up to a final battle or the overcoming of monsters; Frieren asks what happens once that’s over. It speaks to reflection, loss, legacy, and time. 

If you like slower pacing and deep ideas rather than just fight scenes, this is a good pick.

8. My Hero Academia

Genre: Superhero / Action / Drama
Why It’s Must-Read: It continues to be a strong choice. Even though it has been around for some time, new arcs keep it fresh. Fans remain invested in both the characters and the conflicts. Its mix of superhero fantasy and human stakes still lands well in 2025. 

9. Kaiju No. 8

Genre: Monster / Action / Fantasy
Why It’s Must-Read: Kaiju No. 8 is interesting because it mixes big monster battles with a character who becomes part-monster. The concept appeals to lovers of sci-fi, action, and drama. It wrapped up sometime lately, which makes it good for readers who prefer completed arcs. 

10. Detective Conan

Genre: Mystery / Detective / Crime / Long-Running Series
Why It’s Must-Read: For mystery lovers, Detective Conan is still one of the classics. The mysteries are clever, and even after many volumes, new cases continue to entertain. Its presence in best-seller lists in 2025 indicates it still has a strong following. 

What To Look For When Choosing from This List

Since Mangago may not always have every new chapter or every series legally (depending on licensing in your country), here are tips for choosing:

• Make sure the series is updated regularly (avoid ones that stopped abruptly unless you don’t mind waiting or reading in batches).

• Check what genre you prefer — heavy action, psychological, comedy, etc. — so you don’t burn out.

• Try variety: mix something light (Spy × Family) with something intense (Jujutsu Kaisen, Chainsaw Man).

• Read what ends well (or is completed) if you like closure; Kaiju No. 8 or some Detective Conan arcs are good for that.

Caveat: Legality & Supporting Official Releases

While Mangago may offer many of these series, it’s good to remember that using official manga sources whenever possible helps the creators. If you find a series you really like here, see if there’s an official version you can buy or read legally. Many of the manga on this list are available on official platforms like VIZ, MangaPlus, etc. Supporting them helps ensure more great content gets made.

Final Thoughts

2025 has been a strong year for manga. Titles like One Piece, Jujutsu Kaisen, Spy × Family, Blue Lock, and Kaiju No. 8 are at the top of many manga fans’ lists — whether for sales, popularity, or artistic innovation. If you’re reading via Mangago (or discovering these series first there), these ten are safe bets: they’ll give you excitement, depth, laughs, twists, and unforgettable moments.

If you want, I can pull together a list of “best lesser-known” manga too — those that aren’t mainstream but deserve attention. Want me to do that?
