Gone are the days when there were only a few genres available in the anime and manga industry. Today, each genre has its own audience, and fans enjoy vivid types of manga rather than sticking to the same type of story over and over again.
Fans do not want to read flashy action, high-pitched screams, and dark battles all the time. They want something light and refreshing to enjoy, and there comes the comedy manga series.
This genre is comparatively newer than the shonen genre but gained a huge amount of audience in a very small fraction of time. In this article, we will list down some of the best comedy manga that you can read and refresh yourself.
Some people say that comedy manga don’t have good stories and they just revolve around one common thing, which is not true indeed.
