It depends on your definition of weird. Some people might find certain themes or styles not weird, while others might have different opinions. But there are definitely hentai mangas that aim for a more conventional or relatable storyline.
One great manga with an amazing story is 'Fullmetal Alchemist'. It's set in a world where alchemy is a powerful art. The story follows two brothers, Edward and Alphonse Elric, on their quest to regain their bodies after a failed attempt at human transmutation. It's full of complex characters, moral dilemmas, and epic battles.
Gore fiction is a form of fictional writing where the emphasis is on the gory details. It might include things like detailed descriptions of brutal murders, dismemberment, or other forms of extreme physical trauma. It's a genre that some people are really into because they like the shock value and the exploration of the darker side of human nature or the macabre. However, it's not everyone's cup of tea as it can be very disturbing.
The gore in these novels can enhance the horror aspect. For example, in 'Another', the gory deaths create a sense of danger and mystery. It makes the readers constantly on edge, wondering who will be the next victim.
Yes, mangas can be considered graphic novels. They share many characteristics such as being a combination of text and illustrations to tell a story. Manga typically has its own unique art styles and narrative structures, but like graphic novels, it uses sequential art to convey a plot, develop characters, and create a fictional world.
