If only majority of the side characters weren’t shafted to oblivion. See World Trigger to see a perfect example of how to write a massive cast of characters.

Dragon Ball

Manga, 42 vol, 1984Me:- Author:-

Kaijuu 8-gou

Manga, ? vol, 2020Me:- Author:-

Disappointing tbh. Thought the MC being in his 30s would be a nice change but what’s the point when he acts like every other typical battle shounen MC?

Tsue to Tsurugi no Wistoria

Manga, ? vol, 2020Me:- Author:-

InuYasha

Manga, 56 vol, 1996Me:- Author:-

Bleach

Manga, 74 vol, 2001Me:- Author:-

Ichigo brings the entire cast down. Not to mention the fact that his annoying ass is the only relevant character, being the one to be handed every power in existence.

Boku no Hero Academia

Manga, 42 vol, 2014Me:- Author:-

Deku is just whiny. Plus see World Trigger to see how to write a massive cast of characters.

Ueki no Housoku

Manga, 16 vol, 2001Me:- Author:-

Another disappointment. Started off so well then proceeded to give the MC the most busted power.

Shy

Manga, ? vol, 2019Me:- Author:-

Black Torch

Manga, 5 vol, 2016Me:- Author:5

Only Rago (the cat) is worth reading this for. The MC is annoying as usual, even more so than most other MCs.

Kimetsu no Yaiba

Manga, 23 vol, 2016Me:- Author:-

Let’s be honest, there is not a single exceptional character in the entire thing. In fact, most are downright garbage. The main trio are annoying and the Hashira are beyond one note, it’s crazy.
