8. Spy × Family

Action comedy series, Spy × Family has been a hit in the modern shonen manga community since its anime debut. The story is set against a Cold War backdrop, where the nations of Westalis and Ostania are on the brink of war and spies are everywhere.
Operating as Westalis's spymaster, Twilight must assume the guise of an ordinary family man and infiltrate Eden School Academy, keeping a low profile while dealing with a family consisting of a mischievous esper child and a deadly assassin.
7. Beelzebub

Beelzebub presents us with an interesting comedy manga in which a delinquent takes care of the devil's son. The series follows first-year student Tatsumi Oga at Ishiyama High, a school for delinquents, where one day he accidentally stumbles upon a baby floating in a river.
The baby is actually Kaiser de Emperana Beelzebub IV, the son of the Demon Lord, and Oga is tasked with raising this cute and cuddly demon baby with supernatural powers. The odd couple paints a funny picture as they engage in daily activities involving delinquents and demons.
6. Kaguya-sama: Love is War

Although attracted to each other, they refuse to admit their feelings, believing that the first person to confess will lose their pride. Through a series of comical mistakes and the involvement of other student council members, the pair engage in elaborate mind games in an attempt to deceive each other.
5. One-Punch Man

One-Punch Man is the story of a bald superhero named Saitama, who has a knack for defeating his enemies with a single punch. Out of boredom, he joins a hero association and accompanies his first apprentice, Genos, who helps his master find a worthy candidate to test his overwhelming strength.
The perfect balance between serious action and heartbreaking comedy is something One-Punch Man delivers in both anime and manga. However, the manga's storyline goes beyond the anime's material, adding stunning artwork and covers by Yusuke Murata, providing a more complete experience.
4. Way of the Househusband

Netflix's attempt at adapting Kousuke Oono's Way of the Househusband comes off like a PowerPoint presentation, and while it's funny at times, it's the manga version that keeps you engaged with the story without including its over-the-top comedy and hilarious banter.
Featuring a manga-style episodic comedy, the series captures the daily antics of former yakuza boss Tatsu “The Immortal Dragon,” who is now a dedicated househusband trying to adapt to different challenges while supporting his wife Miku, a career woman.
3. Disastrous Life of Saiki K

The Disastrous Life of Saiki K certainly spawns one of the best manga-turned-anime mediums, but its premise offers a slight twist on life stories. Contrary to the idea of glorifying superpowers, the series' titular protagonist is overwhelmed by his abilities while trying to live a normal life.
Saiki Kusuo was born with psychic powers that allow him to do everything from reading minds to controlling the weather. However, he hates using his powers because they interfere with his normal life. Through its absurd humor, the manga follows Saiki's everyday exploits in a school setting.
2. Gintama

Gintama isn't just a globally recognized comedy manga; it's an inspiration for many others that followed. Written by Hideaki Sorachi, the series has everything to offer, from samurai and aliens to unpredictable jokes and endless parodies.
Set in Edo-period Japan, which has been invaded by technologically advanced aliens, the story follows samurai Gintoki Sakata and his subordinates Shinpachi and Kagura, who frequently embark on efforts to help others—although often in rather strange and unexpected ways.
1. Grand Blue

Grand Blue is undoubtedly the funniest comedy manga with an even shorter anime, only 12 episodes long. Story-wise, the series falls under the sports manga category, but thanks to a rambunctious cast and excellent comedic timing, it's considered one of the best out there.
The story revolves around the adventures and fun of diving, centering on Iori Kitahara, who stumbles upon a strange local diving club. At first, Iori tries to distance himself, but soon finds himself surrounded by an eccentric group who try to show him the true wonders of diving in the ocean.
