October Easy

thankee!

Yeonae Haru Jeon

I know, it ain't manga - but it deals exactly with what you're after, and it does so imo rather well. The art's gorgeous, the characters and their interactions cute, and the short eps make the whole thing all the sweeter and bingeable. Oh, and it's legally available on YouTube.^^

Rainbow

thankee kindly!^^

October 2019 Challenge

[

01) [X] Start: 17/10 Finish: 19/10 Watch an anime with the format “TV” and the tag “Yakuza”, “Mafia” or “Police” Durarara!!x2 Shou
02) [X] Watched: 05/10 Watch an anime with a main character that is a villain or anti-hero Durarara!! Specials (Izaya)
05) [X] Watched: 19/10 Watch an anime with the tag “Pirates”, “Assassins” or “Delinquents” Durarara!!x2 Shou: Watashi no Kokoro wa Nabe Moyou
06) [X] Watched: 05/10 Lurking in the Shadows: Stalk another participant and watch an anime they set to “Planning” in the last 2 months Arashi no Yoru ni (cybergami)
07) [X] Start: 10/10 Finish: 12/10 Caught Red-handed: Watch an anime that features a distinctive red object on the AniList cover Bakuman. (Takagi's jumper)

Pretty much all of the mainstream stuff I've tried so far, except for Death Note. I adore DN. xD

But the biggest letdown, should I choose one, would be
Bungou Stray Dogs - it seems to have everything I love in stories, except it doesn't deliver. Its attempts at humour were laughable (haha), its characters felt shallow and artificial, and perhaps worst of all, it was simply boring. In the end, I only liked the art style. :(

Phantom Requiem for the Phantom

• similar to Nazenn's suggestion - the MC's a teenage assassin. he's forced to ditch humanity for the most part, but he keeps craving it.

One Outs

• this show has only one character (the others are just MC's puppets) and he's cold and calculating all right. also, one particular line from the OP ("nobody wins but me") is there for a reason, so if you need suspense/some degree of uncertainty, OO perhaps ain't the best choice.

Durarara

• pretty much the entire cast's creepy in one way or another

Devilman Crybaby

• characters aren't the heart of this one, but Ryo fits the bill too well to not mention it

Haikyuu
Saiki Kusuo no Nan TV

• lighthearted in nature, both feature one or more withdrawn, aloof characters. from what I've heard, Kageyama from Haikyuu tends to be likened to Todoroki from BnHA; in Saiki, the MC's attempted isolation from others is one of the main comedic drives.

Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru

• pessimistic, cynical MC and his "skewed" view on the society

• nr. 6 fixed
• The prequel and side story of nr. 40 are both classified as comedies, so I didn't even bother to check if nr. 40 was too. Sorry about that. I asked a mod to add the genre though, and now it's fixed.

Comedy Normal

Thanks! ^^

Haikyuu

From your PTW:
Shokugeki no Souma
Haikyuu

They're my absolute favorite shounen series, alongside with MP 100. :))

Ranma-/

little to no character development, everyone just keeps pursuing their one goal and fights others (verbally and physically) in the process. wouldn't be a biggie if it was a two cour show, as the idea does in fact work, but 160 eps..., that's just overboard.

this, and also
One Outs - the OP song includes a line that goes roughly like "nobody wins but me" (too lazy to look it up, sorry) and that's it, that's the entire show, the mc owning everyone without breaking a sweat. by the end i was dying for some sort of a twist, which, however, of course, never came.
