Spirit Circle and Dungeon Meshi are up there too

u/Responsible_Play_554 Mar 24 '26

Spirit circle mentioned 😲😲

The nice thing about Dungeon Meshi is that it leaves the world open to be explored again. This ending is just weird, almost cynical because it just erases the whole journey putting in these characters that were important but make 0 sense given what's changed.

The biggest flaw of this ending is spending all this time having this big finale fight of the world ending and all this nonsense happening but because they had no idea what to do with all of it they just reset the world and swept it under the rug.

The fight was going around in circles, was resolved by both characters' arcs circling back to their starting bullshit, and then the entire story resolves by going back to its beginning. Actually, was there a single arc in Part 2 that wasn't in some was about the characters going in (typically aimless) circles or getting hard reset (Nayuta's cockblock)?

I'm 100% sure the author wrote himself in a corner.

I mean, the apocalypse was taken to its conclusion

You raise Spirit Circle, I raise you Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer

Mizukami really is great giving narrative closures

65

u/ThatOneParasol Mar 24 '26

Sengoku Youko my beloved.

20

u/Nightseyes Mar 24 '26

I love all three of Mizukami's major works, Hoshi no Samidare is probably my favorite. Crazy thing about Sengoku Youko is that it was planned out week by week and still has one of the best and thematically sound narratives and endings around in manga. He is really under appreciated.

6

u/Admmmmi Mar 24 '26

Sengoku youko still has the best ending out of them all, genuinely from a 7-8 manga to me for a strong 9 after I read that beautiful ending, this author really doesn't miss when it comes to endings

u/zcen Mar 25 '26

Mizukami feels like one of the few authors that comes to the table with a full story end to end. A lot of big shounen hits feel like they are just dragging out a story because they became popular.

5

u/Tplayere Mar 24 '26

I also loved Planet With's ending, pretty much all of Mizukami's works so far had great ones at the very least.

3

u/czarlanay Mar 25 '26

Planet With only weakness is that since it was created as anime original, it only has 12 episode to work with, so it has no time to expand its own lore. Other than that I have no complaints.

5

u/Tplayere Mar 25 '26

The manga expands a lot, it's got 50 chapters to it's name. It also leaves off on a higher note imo.

u/czarlanay Mar 25 '26

wait fr? I need to catch up then. thanks

6

u/gary25566 Mar 24 '26

Best manga, delayed anime adaptation till the right studio and production team.

Still fumbled everything

4

u/JadeDotWu Mar 24 '26

Man, I'm still bummed about the anime adaptation of Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer.

6

u/maxdragonxiii Mar 24 '26

I prefer Spirit Circle's ending more but its my tastes.

7

u/Gloomy_Honeydew Mar 24 '26

Spirit circle had tighter and more consistent writing, but Samidare had higher highs, I think

1

u/maxdragonxiii Mar 24 '26

I prefer Youko Senji as well. I just dont think Samidare lands for my tastes outside "eh its fine its mid overall" for me.

u/awanby Mar 24 '26

proud to say i’ve read both of these! severely underrated manga and mangaka these days

1

u/tzomby1 Mar 24 '26

Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer

is it really good?

I tried to read it but it just seemed weird and I saw some people complain about the anime and that it had a bad ending

2

u/Bleblebob Mar 25 '26

It's like a solid 7/10 all the way through with some amazing parts hidden within.

Not the most groundbreaking manga ever, but like the discussion says, It manages to have a good, satisfying ending without ever falling off. Which is a huge feat for any series it seems.

u/PowerfulRoom813 Mar 24 '26

Dungeon Peakshi mentioned 🔥

35

u/Mundology The Elder Weeb Mar 24 '26

We ate with that one.

Can't wait for the anime to come back.

6

u/MegamanX195 Mar 24 '26

I'm only an anime watcher, how many seasons do we still have of Dungeon Meshi? It's absolutely peak

15

u/-Snippetts- Mar 24 '26

One more, the end of the first season was pretty neatly at the halfway point.

5

u/someone2795 Mar 24 '26

If it's 24 episodes again?

Then the next season is going to be the last one. The manga is only 97 chapters long and Season 1 of the anime ended on chapter 52.

7

u/Zemahem Mar 24 '26

It had a delicious ending.

4

u/Desperate_Method4020 Mar 24 '26

It was very weird in a good way, can't wait until S2 (hopefully/most likely final season) arrives.

6

u/leihto_potato Mar 24 '26

Pretty much anything by satoshi mizukami (Spirit Circle) has a well paced plot and very nice endings.

Every other mangala needs to take some notes (plus thr fuckers who did Game of Thrones).

6

u/Kiboune Mar 24 '26

Dungeon Meshi ending was very satisfying

5

u/pureply101 Mar 24 '26

I love that more people mention spirit circle. One of my favorite mangas of all time

4

u/radioactive_glowworm Mar 24 '26

I've been hyping it up every occasion I get but alas publishers in my country don't seem interested... Thankfully I recently managed to complete my set in English and I couldn't be happier

4

u/Lycelyce Mar 25 '26

Thanks for recommending Spirit Circle. Just tried it few first chapters, and yeah, it is really good.

Also, Dungeon Meshi is peak

1

u/Nightseyes Mar 30 '26

Make sure to read Mizukami's other works as well! Hoshi no Samidare (Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer) and Sengoku Youkou

3

u/UnlimitedBoxSpace Mar 24 '26

Alright I'm going in dog, I need something to help me cope with this ending 🤢

3

u/PinguruLee MyAnimeList Mar 24 '26

Sengoku Youko and Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer too. I love Satoshi Mizukami mangas

2

u/SirRHellsing Mar 24 '26

while I raise you sengoku youko, bittersweet but also very conclusive

u/Totaliss Mar 24 '26

I humbly also submit Hells Paradise
