So ngl ,I asked for one for comics ,but I want for manga too
Usually I wouldn’t ask for good politics but I think bad politics might get on my mood rn
I like sci if ,I like slice of life series ,I like mystery/psychological and I do like historical series
I don’t mind any genre
heyy, have you read One Piece?
It's the leftiest, most anti-imperialist anime/manga I've seen to date. Although it has cartoon-like art, the themes are serious and deeply political.
Also most people have issues with it being too long... the problem is quite the opposite the more you read/watch, it's actually too short for how many well interconnected mysteries, characters and places there actually are, everything is fleshed out.
Also it doesn't get worse with time like most long series, it gets even better!
Good luck on your Sails if you haven't checked it out yet!
Oda is a secret propagandist, who got to make the most popular anime in history, truly a madman genius if you ask me
one piece is good but i would like to just say don't expect too much from its politics. there is an arc where the heroes restore a settler colonial government, and most arcs are about restoring the rightful king to his throne. it might not be what someone looking for good politics is looking for!
I get what you mean, it does feel like that sometimes, but after watching more I've realized that Luffy is primarily an Anti-Imperialist, so the Sraw Hats do restore some monarchies, but in the name of expeling a foreign power who took over the country, which I'm all for as an ML, our first fight should always be against imperialism, as I'd argue that even the Taliban government is better than 20 years of imperial war to remove them from power and let them restore it again
Which arc are you referring to? If it's Skypea yeah, it's the arc with worst politics IMO, but the others are mostly on point, for example Alabasta is a critique of Bourgeois Revolution (directed by Crocodile), even the name of his organization (Baroque Works) is a reference to this time in (european) history, who at the same time represents an external power meddling in internal politics and Wano is crearly against imperial industrial capitalism depleting a nation's resources, starving its people and supporting an illegitimate internal power (which took over with foreign help)
Few things to note:
I have read 217 chapters of One Piece ,so East Blue and the Alabasta Saga
will continue to read but I take breaks after big arcs in this case sagas lol
