Manga is a type of comic book that originates from Japan. Almost every popular anime series enjoyed today started out as manga before being adapted into the highly regarded animation format. For example, Naruto and Attack On Titian are hugely popular series that first started out as successful manga comics.
There are several popular anime series with manga origins that are getting better with each new arc. And there are some mangas that, despite their popularity, don't have an anime adaption (yet). However, due to the amazing writing and engaging storylines, they still amass a loyal following.

8 In Tokyo Revengers New Manga Arc, Takemitchy Returns to The Past With A New Mission
As one of the best-selling manga series in Japan, Tokyo Revengers quickly gained a large fanbase. With each new manga arc, this series gets more and more popular.

His new mission is to save Mikey from himself so he can live a happy life in the future. This new arc features several new and unique characters that fans can't wait to see more of.

6 In The Dr. Stone Manga, The Crew Builds A Rocket To Visit The Moon
The Dr.Stone manga has entered its final phase with the current Moon Misson Arc, which is a bitter-sweet moment for fans who are finally seeing the manga reach its end.

5 The Popular Manga Series, Spy X Family Features A Whole Family Of Spies
This ongoing manga series amassed a following before it was greenlit for the anime adaption currently in the works. Spy X Family is a manga about a family of spies. In the current arc, while aboard the Princess Lorelei cruise ship, Yor receives a mission to protect Oika and her son from assassins. Ironically, Yor's husband and daughter (Anya and Loid) also won tickets for the same cruise ship, which makes for plenty of engaging storylines considering none of them know each other's secrets. With each new arc, fans can't seem to get enough of this wholesome family of spies.
4 Beastars Introduces A New Hybrid Character In This Unusual Manga Series
Despite the unusual cast of anthropomorphic animals, Beastars follows the story of students at Cherryton Academy. However, it's not your average school life manga.

Another popular series without an anime adaptation is Blue Lock, a manga that stars egotistic soccer players competing against each other for a spot as a striker on the Japanese National Soccer team.

In the current U-2o arc, eleven selected players will compete in the Japan U-20 National Representative match where the winners gain control of the National Team.
2 In The Black Clover Manga Clover Raids The Spade Kingdom
Similar to Boruto, fans were skeptical of the Block Cover series and gave it mixed reviews. However, as the manga continued to release new arcs, fans warmed up to the series and started to consider it worth reading.
