Hey! I'm sorry if I'm annoying you with this ask, but recently I finished watching the T&B anime and I really want to read the manga, but I'm a bit lost and I don't know where to start, because I have heard that there are more than one version (I don't know if that is true), so I wanted to ask for advice. There are more than one version of the manga? if that's the case, where should I start? Do you know where can I read it? Thank you so much, I hope you have a nice day!

Hi anon! I promise you are not annoying me, you (or anyone!) can ask or send me anything any time! I love T&B so much so I love to help however I can❤💚 Firstly, the manga can all be read in any order you want! None of them are connected to one another in any way. When people say there are two manga, they are referring to the following two: Miracle Jump Serialization: The Miracle Jump version (often abbreviated simply MJ) is written by Erika Yoshida and illustrated by Hiroshi Ueda. This manga takes place in between the events in the main series, so I guess you could technically consider it to be canon(?) There is no physical copy in English as it never got an official English release. Afaik it's never been translated in full but you can read most of it here! https://mangadex.org/title/7231545b-39ce-4d51-a825-b905b16691a3 New Type Ace Serialization:

The New Type Ace version (NTA), by Mizuki Sakakibara, is my personal favorite of the two! It starts off similar enough but there is a canon divergence from the main series, it's an AU of sorts where the events transpire very differently and the main villain is actually someone different than the show. While there are official physical copies, the fan translation, imo, is the superior version because there are bonus chapters and 4-koma that are really funny (and sometimes touching) that were never released in the official English volumes. Unfortunately, the last three volumes (7-9) were never scanlated (unless you speak Russian) but you can buy them officially. If you like Yuri (which I assume you do to some extent since you are here! :D) I recommend buying the last three volumes as he plays a pretty big role in volume 7 and volume 9. You can read volume 1-6 here: https://mangadex.org/title/ae039b61-72e2-4513-b091-bd7426d2ee44 Other Manga: There are actually 3 other English manga! The comic anthology (exactly what it sounds like. Short gag chapters, 4koma, all made by guest artists) of which there are two volumes and The Beginning Manga (Side A and Side B) both of which follow the plot of the Beginning movie. The last is a oneshot done by the one and only Katsura Matsakazu. The comic anthology is great and I would recommend purchasing both volumes (I don't think it's scanned anywhere :( ), the Beginning manga.... ehhh.... it isn't great. It's identical to the Beginning but more lacking and short. The oneshot is short and available online, no real reason not to read it! ^^ https://mangadex.org/title/859f6d51-5472-46e4-b555-8356b364878c/tiger-bunny-good-luck-and-bad-luck-alternate-like-the-strands-of-a-rope Sorry this was sort of long but I hope all of this helped you!

Could you link some of your threads discussing and analyzing Garou’s character as a whole or analyzing strong scenes that emphasize his character?

Many of them nowadays are either chapter-specific observations and commentaries, or anon-prompted meta discussions, but let's see if I can list some of the major/overarching ones I’ve written over the years (some might be pretty old too):

Why does Garou have no confidence?

The Shed Scene in-depth: on his semblance of choice and on whose version of ‘justice’ prevails + bonus anime commentary + bonus vs Darkshine callback  

More in-depth thoughts about Wolf Boy - a binding mindset stemming from his childhood

To Stand and Be Strong - on his grueling personal mantra that compels him to keep fighting

The Will to Power - heavy theory centric; where Garou’s arc shows us the way (of what not to do)

Garou’s compassionate side & empathetic capacity as a telling mark of his humanity

The WCScene™ - on the ending mistranslation and Tareo’s importance

All his direct arc parallels he shares with other heroic characters, including The Dual Disciples’ Lament (with Genos) + bonus comedic irony with King

How gracefully he carries himself - aka Murata’s art appreciation

My personal favorite positive aspects and manga moments 

Other specific character traits: he’s no coward, he’s a tsundere, he’s an introvert (bonus mbti analysis), he’s ‘pure of heart,’ he also likes misunderstood ‘cool’ animals

On more of the negatives/controversial traits:

Critiquing his character flaws

On ‘non-heroic’ behaviors that Garou doesn’t like - bonus: on Mumen, on Blue Fire, on Metal Bat

When he encounters real monsters he finds them disgusting

On his internalized self-worth issues dehumanizing himself

His habit to throw his opponents’ own words back at them

On whether he’s a ‘hypocrite’ vs his struggles in cognitive dissonance

On his common fanon + bad faith mischaracterizations (1, 2, 3)

His tv tropes and classification as an Anti-Hero (by ONE himself)

More Garou vs Saitama relevant food for thought discussions: their introspective identity parallels on learning what they lack, my warning on Saitama’s approach, their opposing light & dark symbolism, webcomic Garou’s post-arc speculation

For fun: commentary on Ova4 Games & Rivals (Garou vs Suiryu, set before their wc meeting), the manga’s character introduction pages reflecting Garou’s growing story prominence, and his photoset compilations (because why not~)

この2人とても好き

Fire Emblem gets given a dirty hand in Tiger and Bunny. She doesn't seem to mind being misgendered so I suspect her pronouns are she/he, however she gets that typical homophobic anime treatment where her being queer (or a flamboyant gay man, as depicted in the series) has her sexually harassing other characters and it feels so frustrating to see.

My response to this isn't to shun Nathan, instead I decided pretty early on that she was my favourite Hero, and I think the movie that features her accepting her past is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT and beautiful. I will love even bad depictions of us, because sometimes that's all we have.

I remember what was done to Grell in the anime of Kuroshitsuji, and I still adore Grell to this day.

note: I love both of these anime dearly AND feel comfortable voicing my criticisms of them without needing to throw the whole thing out, because I have a functioning brain.
