No one has quite yet figured out who said \u201cTalent borrows, geniuses steal,\u201d but it seems to be true, especially in the creative world. Tarantino\u2019s work is a pastiche of his favorite childhood films. The Rolling Stones would\u2019ve been nothing without the Delta Blues. Talent borrows.<\/p>\n

In the realm of manga, to be a successful artist is no small feat. It takes a certain magical mixture of something + something multiplied by pi<\/em> and then divided by the gross domestic product (or something). To be an award<\/em>-winning manga artist then is nothing short of a miracle. Or is it? According to Comic Con, the violent-yet-lovable Chainsaw Man is being considered for the prestigious Eisner award as we speak, which is pretty much the same as an Oscar nomination. In 2021, the same English-translated manga took home three awards for Best Manga and Best Shonen Manga. Curious indeed. What is this phenomenon and how did it do what so many others could only dream of? Geniuses steal.<\/p>\n

Written and illustrated by Tatsuki Fujimoto, Chainsaw Man debuted in Japan\u2019s best-selling (and longest-running) manga magazine, Weekly Shonen Jump (shonen<\/em> meaning \u201csmall boy\u201d) in 1998 and continued until 2020. That same year, another manga would surface, but on a periodical not nearly as reputable. Dorohedoro first made ink in the alternative\/fringe manga magazine, Monthly Ikki. Its creator was a reclusive artist named Q Hayashima, who is known to wear masks (like her manga characters) during each press event. No shame in your roots, of course.<\/p>\n
Any manga\/anime\/Netflix fan will be able to instantly identify the following A-list offerings displayed on Shonen Jump\u2019s pages. It is notable that based off of a survey, a good chunk of these hits are adored by female fans as well.<\/p>\n
