Suggested Series
Sousou no Frieren
One of the greatest fantasy series of all times. The experience of traveling with Frieren (elf) and Fern (human) over a fantastical journey retracing the steps of the Hero Himmel in the 10 years where he traveled to defeat the demon lord. Slow paced and calm while still having a few amazing action scenes.
Fate Strange Fake
Part of the Fate universe and written by the original author of Baccano and Durarara, Fate/Strange Fake is an amazing series of twists over the traditional grail war formula. Lots of characters introduced, all with their motivations to be in this ever so complicated ritual.
Yuusha-kei ni Shosu
Be amazed by this dark oppressive world where being a hero is actually a penal sentence given to the most hated criminals. They can't run, they can't die. Xylo is one of them, but he's actually innocent of the crimes they accused him and he seeks the truth and revenge over the real culprits.
Ichigo Mashimaro
Enter the life of Nobue, her sister Chika and the two friends Ana and Matsuri as they spend time around their house playing and studying together. Lots of cuteness and comedy in this slice of life series that is a classic of the genre.
