Sexy Commando Gaiden: Sugoi yo!! Masaru-san

Sexy Commando Gaiden: Sugoi yo!! Masaru-san

A manga about the high schooler Masaru Hananakajima, who starts a school club for the mysterious martial art known as Sexy Commando!

This manga is probably within my personal top-3 comedy series. Kyosuke Usuta electric debut in Weekly Shonen Jump shocked readers for it’s absolutely wacky absurdist humor. Sexy Commando was all about distracting your opponent and that would usually involve unzipping your fly and pulling something out. It’s pure comedy.

It’s similar to Pop Team Epic but before the era of memes so it was mostly just strange inside jokes for Usuta himself. Although the series was ultimately canceled Usuta became known for as a titan of comedy and his Pyu to Fuku! Jaguar was serialized for 10 years.

It’s equally ridiculous and hilarious. I loved the anime as well.

Food Fighter Taberu

Food Fighter Taberu

A manga about the strongest competitive eater named Taberu.

This is a series by the great comedy manga artist Kyosuke Usuta. I’ve always enjoyed his absurdist and irreverent humor combined with an art style that looks professional in one panel and like a child’s chicken scratch drawing in the next.

Food Fighter Taberu is a decent comedy but it isn’t quite up to par to Usuta’s other series like Sexy Commando Gaiden: Sugoi yo!! Masaru-san or Pyu to Fuku! Jaguar, which are both god-tier in terms of comedy.
