We all love a good action movie—so what does manga have to offer in the way of blood-pumping adventures that put their protagonists to the ultimate test?
If you’re looking for the perfect action manga, then look no further than Shōnen manga. A category of manga characterised by fast-paced action, strong ties of comradery, and heart-pounding fight sequences, Shōnen spans across multiple genres and appeals to all age groups with a large variety of unique and enthralling stories.
Titles like My Hero Academia will plunge you into a world of superheroes and their powerful villain counterparts, while One Punch Man offers a humorous, over-powered protagonist whose ability is so high-level it only takes a single punch to defeat incredible enemies. If your preference runs more towards a do-or-die battle against demons and those in control of them, then Demon Slayer and Jujutsu Kaisen are right up your alley. Prefer long-running action shows that will throw you head-first into a new and exciting world? Naruto, One Piece, and Fairy Tail offer grand adventures where the stakes are high and the world is infused with mythological and mysterious entities ready to challenge their daring protagonists.
No matter which title you choose, Shōnen manga is sure to keep you hooked!
