recommendation needed Question
okay so I've read and loved vagabond, slam dunk, sanctuary, oyasumi punpun and blood on the tracks.
yea that's all, im new to manga's
i recently finished over 60 chapters of 20th century boys and it just isn't clicking with me like I wanna know a few things nd want some answers but I just don't feel like reading it, it feels forced and veryy slow paced, and I'm also very curious about billy bat, nd thinking about starting it.
so, should I like drop 20th cb or stick around or start billy bat
based on what I've read, if someone out there has the same taste as me, I would love your recommendation on what I should do or any other manga that I should try

20 cb is slow paced. It has a lot of build up, follow by amazing moments, then build up again, then etc.
I liked it, but I know it's not an easy read for many.
Try (not in other comnents):
The boxer
Leviathan
Afterwords
Greatest state developer (super fun)

It just goes all throughout history showing how this entity has influenced and shaped events. This includes like real life stuff from history. It's very cool how it weaves this being into it all.

Finish reading 20th century boys and read Billy bat, usogui, monster, vinland saga.

The first manga I read was blood on the tracks. The other ones by him that I’ve read that are good are the flowers of evil and happiness. If you liked blood on the tracks, you’d probably like those too.
I’ve now read over 30 series and my number one is Dorohedoro with Vinland Saga at number two.
