9 One Punch Man
The seemingly ordinary and unimpressive Saitama has a rather unique hobby: being a hero. In order to pursue his childhood dream, he trained relentlessly for three years—and lost all of his hair in the process. Now, Saitama is incredibly powerful, so much so that no enemy is able to defeat him in battle. In fact, all it takes to defeat evildoers with just one punch has led to an unexpected problem—he is no longer able to enjoy the thrill of battling and has become quite bored.
This all changes with the arrival of Genos, a 19-year-old cyborg, who wishes to be Saitama's disciple after seeing what he is capable of. Genos proposes that the two join the Hero Association in order to become certified heroes that will be recognized for their positive contributions to society, and Saitama, shocked that no one knows who he is, quickly agrees. And thus begins the story of One Punch Man, an action-comedy that follows an eccentric individual who longs to fight strong enemies that can hopefully give him the excitement he once felt and just maybe, he'll become popular in the process.

7 Death Note
A shinigami, as a god of death, can kill any person—provided they see their victim's face and write their victim's name in a notebook called a Death Note. One day, Ryuk, bored by the shinigami lifestyle and interested in seeing how a human would use a Death Note, drops one into the human realm.
High school student and prodigy Light Yagami stumbles upon the Death Note and—since he deplores the state of the world—tests the deadly notebook by writing a criminal's name in it. When the criminal dies immediately following his experiment with the Death Note, Light is greatly surprised and quickly recognizes how devastating the power that has fallen into his hands could be.
With this divine capability, Light decides to extinguish all criminals in order to build a new world where crime does not exist and people worship him as a god.

However, after graduating, these teammates, known as "The Generation of Miracles," go their separate ways and now consider each other as rivals.
At Seirin High School, two newly recruited freshmen prove that they are not ordinary basketball players: Taiga Kagami, a promising player returning from the US, and Tetsuya Kuroko, a seemingly ordinary student whose lack of presence allows him to move around unnoticed. Although Kuroko is neither athletic nor able to score any points, he was a member of Teikou's basketball team, where he played as the "Phantom Sixth Man," who easily passed the ball and assisted his teammates.

To reach their goal, they have to cross pathways with several powerful teams, some of which have one of the five players with godlike abilities, whom Kuroko and Taiga make a pact to defeat.

Détective Conan (名探偵コナン, Meitantei Konan?, litt. « Grand détective Conan ») est une série japonaise de mangas créée par Gōshō Aoyama1. La série débute en 1994 avec une première publication dans le magazine hebdomadaire Weekly Shōnen Sunday, et recense 91 volumes commercialisés au Japon au 16 décembre 2016. Les éditions Kana proposent une version française de 89 volumes au 5 mai 2017.
Le manga est adapté en série télévisée d'animation par les studios TMS Entertainment, anciennement Tokyo Movie Shinsha, et Yomiuri Telecasting Corporation. Cette adaptation animée, qui recense actuellement plus de 800 épisodes, est pour la première fois diffusée le 8 janvier 1996 sur le réseau japonais Nippon TV. En France, sur les 214 premiers épisodes licenciés, seuls 170 épisodes ont été diffusés sur plusieurs chaînes de télévision incluant Cartoon Network du 4 janvier 2004 jusqu'à fin 2007, France 3 dans l'émission France Truc le 3 janvier 2005, et sur NT1 jusqu'en 2008.

Les critiques sont globalement positives grâce à la tournure et la qualité des intrigues et investigations.
À l'image des Enquêtes de Kindaichi, Détective Conan a bénéficié de l'intérêt que la série télévisée X-Files : Aux frontières du réel a suscité pour des enquêtes sur le surnaturel (ou le paranormal). Cela a permis à Aoyama de devenir le second dessinateur de mangas le mieux payé du Japon après Rumiko Takahashi2 et même le premier dessinateur de manga le mieux payé en 19993.
En 2016, vingt films basés sur la série d'animation Détective Conan ont été diffusés.

Chaque film présente sa propre histoire plutôt que d'être adapté des histoires du manga. Deux anime comics ont été commercialisés pour chaque film ; le premier est paru le 18 septembre 1997 présentant la première moitié du film Détective Conan : Le Gratte-Ciel infernal et le dernier est paru le 18 novembre 2015 présentant la seconde moitié du film Détective Conan : Le Sniper Dimensionnel83,84.
