What are your left wing manga/anime recommendations? I only got Ninpu Kamui Gaiden, because it is communist and ninjaic? You may shrug you shoulders, but a communist created all the ninja cliches, like a dude named Sasuke and the “Izuna Drop”! Unfortunately, the manga is from 1969, when the United States still had not erased all left-wing presence in Japan.

    I mean it definitely indulges in shonen tropes, but it gets better as it goes on and stuff can develop beyond the One Piece/Fairy Tale beginning exposition dump style. In fact I’d say it’s a good mature companion to Fairy Tale where that’s like baby’s first anime/manga.

      Yeah, I mean I’ll check it out then. I’d imagine I can get past the shonen stuff. As I’ve gotten older those tropes just are a lot less interesting than before.
