After rigorously training for three years, the ordinary Saitama has gained immense strength which allows him to take out anyone and anything with just one punch. He decides to put his new skill to good use by becoming a hero. However, he quickly becomes bored with easily defeating monsters, and wants someone to give him a challenge to bring back the spark of being a hero.
Upon bearing witness to Saitama's amazing power, Genos, a cyborg, is determined to become Saitama's apprentice. During this time, Saitama realizes he is neither getting the recognition that he deserves nor known by the people due to him not being a part of the Hero Association. Wanting to boost his reputation, Saitama decides to have Genos register with him, in exchange for taking him in as a pupil. Together, the two begin working their way up toward becoming true heroes, hoping to find strong enemies and earn respect in the process.

Several hundred years ago, humans were nearly exterminated by giants. Giants are typically several stories tall, seem to have no intelligence, devour human beings and, worst of all, seem to do it for the pleasure rather than as a food source. A small percentage of humanity survived by walling themselves in a city protected by extremely high walls, even taller than the biggest of giants. Flash forward to the present and the city has not seen a giant in over 100 years. Teenage boy Eren and his foster sister Mikasa witness something horrific as one of the city walls is damaged by a 60 meter (196.85 feet) giant causing a breach in the wall. As the smaller giants flood the city, the two kids watch in horror the tragic events that follow. Eren vows that he will wipe out every single giant and take revenge for all of mankind.

Russian / Русский:
Вместо прогресса человечество оказалось отброшено назад появлением расы гигантов. Огромные гуманоиды не обладали ни речью, ни разумом, но при этом пожирали людей, как чипсы, а обычное оружие уровня XIX века оказалось бессильно. Остатки рода людского смогли выжить лишь за циклопическими стенами, которые тройным кольцом опоясали последние поля, города и деревни. Затишье продолжалось сто лет, за это время люди успокоились, армия была сокращена, а городская стража превратилась в дармоедов. Боеспособность сохранил лишь Разведкорпус – но кому нужны самоубийцы, что постоянно рискуют жизнью за стенами, когда можно спокойно сидеть за каменным забором?
Увы, все хорошее кончается. Ужасающий колосс сокрушил внешнюю стену «Мария», и гиганты уничтожили один из городов. Мать юного Эрена погибла, отец пропал, и парень, кипящий жаждой мести, вместе с приемной сестрой Микасой поступил в Корпус, чьи элитные бойцы могут побеждать гигантов один на один. Овладеть системой тросов, лебедок и газовых ускорителей нелегко, но лишь подобная техника помогает делать безумные прыжки и поражать монстров в затылок – единственное уязвимое место. Учиться надо быстро, ибо идет война, и действия врага становятся все агрессивнее – будто за безмозглыми горами плоти стоит чей-то чуждый разум. Или… не такой уж чуждый? Эрену и его друзьям среди боев и сражений предстоит открыть немало пугающих тайн!

Remember to forget is a four-page script of a story with a human twist in a dystopic, sci-fi setting. It is open-ended, allowing greater engagement and emotional investment by the reader. The Protagonist, an unnamed young alien has been up all night reflecting on his life. He is part of a race of intergalactic warriors who treat their atrocities casually and haphazardly. This bizarreness stems from the fact that each day, after they are done with the horrors of their conquest, they are submitted to a process which simply wipes out parts of their daily memories and experiences (their negative emotions and any sedimentary and residual conscience they might have left regarding what they have done). It is something which in the long-term leaves everyone devoid of empathy and realisation. This perpetual tuning up has the protagonist wondering, “What’s worse? The fact that we are harming others or ignoring that we have harmed others?”

A very peculiar and interesting manga from the nineties, with some serious topics from psychology and society and very unique characters.
Tell me if you would like me to the translate more chapters (although, unfortunately, these are far less interesting than the first chapter, which just has something to it). A manga which traumatised me and my little brother when we first read it back in the early 2000s, but also made me think alot, even to this very day. RIP Hiroyuki Shoji.
For this scanlation I used the German translation that was made by Burkhard Höfler and released in Manga Power, a monthly manga compendium that came out in in the early 2000s. Sadly, I don't have enough experience to know if I have chosen the right format.

It is the Middle Ages, and the remnants of mankind are plagued by paranoia and death. Spoken in fearful whispers, the word "Yoma" cuts a clear image into the minds of all: monstrous beings with an insatiable hunger for human flesh. But fear of their gruesome appetite is dwarfed by that of their ability to shapeshift and steal the memories of their last meal. Forever vulnerable to attack, humans live in unease, even among family.
There are few means to kill a Yoma. The Organization, informally known as "Claymore," is humanity's only line of defense, dispatching half-human, half-Yoma female warriors to purify villages of Yoma. A lonely and dangerous existence, death for these warriors comes with each new assignment. What time is found between trying battles and long, arduous travels is spent in ever-intensifying struggle to resist their Yoma blood and maintain their humanity. Villagers, knowing of this, pay for their security reluctantly and have only loathsome regard for their protectors.
Claymore follows the stoic and low-ranking member Clare in her daunting trek as she searches for personal vengeance. Along the way, she encounters many unexpected things about the world, from the camaraderie and hope held fast by her sisters-in-arms to the sinister truth behind the Claymore Organization.
