Thank you. I don't know much about or read many comics or manga, but I'm interested in what's out there.

Manga often turns me off because I just can't bring myself to care about schoolgirls and demon lords.

Edit: oh it's high school girls. Pass, but thank you.

You should start by reading "That One Time I Reincarnated as a Schoolgirl at the Demon Lord Academy".

You have no idea how little that narrows it down

Blame!, Berserk, Akira, Chainsaw Man, Vagabond, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Dorohedoro, Tokyo Ghoul, Aposimz, Gangsta are some obvious ones that come to mind

I read and watched Akira on clay tablet back in the day. JoJo looks like a parody - do people watch it seriously? It's got to be satire, right?

I've never heard of most of those, so thank you.

JoJo is basically the idea of rule of cool. It's over the top and bombastic

JoJo is 50% parody and 50% 100% serious. It's a post-ironic masterpiece.

Hunter x hunter is also considered an all-time great, and probably my personal favorite anime. Be sure to watch the 2011 series if you decide to check it out, the original drags.

Please look up some popular manga and pick from that. This is (fine and popular) horny highschool will-they-wont-they trash.

You are probably wanting something more mature in general, and romance stuff in particular, than what most of the fan base wants.

If you like "daily romance" as a genre, "Kowloon Generic Romance" is one I enjoyed.
