Hamatora
"Follow the adventures of Nice and Murasaki, two private detectives from the Hamatora agency.

The characters are also very charismatic, full of charm. What about the graphics? The author (also mangaka of Blood Lad) masters his pencil stroke, no doubt about it! All in just 3 volumes! No time to get tired that the series is already over. Are you in need of Nice and its friends? Don't panic, an anime version with several seasons is available on Crunchyroll !
Don't call it mystery
Noeve Grafx editions constantly surprise us by offering us quality but sometimes confusing titles. This is the case with Don't call it mystery, by the talented Yumi Tamura (7 Seeds, Basara). Here, no investigation conducted at a brisk pace, a Dantesque chase or endless spinning. We follow the daily life of Totono, a young adult who, under indolent airs, hides a sharp mind. Between daily hassles and sordid crimes, Totono observes and analyzes his environment in the manner of a certain English detective. Less cynical but with an equally sharp tone, the young man can be difficult to pin down. Nevertheless, the fluid construction of the story, and the graphic quality of this work make it a small nugget that it would be a shame to miss.
Monster
Return to the most classic of classics with Monster, a timeless masterpiece by master Naoki Urasawa. Finished in 18 volumes (9 in deluxe edition), this essential manga plunges us into the heart of a terrifying investigation, in the heart of the psyche of a pure psychopath.
In the late 80s, Kenzo Tenma was a neurosurgeon at the peak of his career. Working in Germany, his future seems mapped out… Until the day when a difficult choice is offered to him: save a young boy hit by a bullet in the head, or the mayor of the city. Tenma's decision will have far-reaching consequences… Starting with a series of murders that seems strangely related to the little boy he saved.
Multiplying devious characters with a troubled past, Urasawa takes us on a drawer investigation in which horror and terror take a more psychological but equally powerful turn. Through Tenma's descent into hell and his quest for justice, the author of Asadora, Billy Bat and 20th Century Boys redefines the codes of contemporary thrillers. Impossible to let go of Monster… But be careful not to look the abyss in the face for too long… Because, who knows? Maybe she'll look back at you? We hope you will find your happiness among these manga. If this is not the case, we offer you 5 action-packed series to discover urgently!
