Moments in Manga
These are special moments, panels, or story elements that left me with a genuine emotion or response.
There's no real rhyme or reason for any of these, especially not order, but I will add to it as I go.
Who knows, maybe I'll go back to older series that I've read and add to the list that way.
SPOILERS AHEAD
Sakamoto Days Chapter 166

Yowch, this page is amazing!
I seriously shivered when I read this page!!
Takamura-san speaking has to be one of the best payoffs I've ever seen of any character.
You grow to appreciate this "hidden boss" character, because they are incredibly strong and mysterious.
The way he seems as if he's never lucid really gives the reader this sense of understanding of how this character functions, especially pertaining to his relation to other characters.
His motives seem surface level, like seeing a dimentia patient still toil away at their craft even after they've forgotten their family's faces.
That is the intended reading of this character.
At least, up until now.
This one page made Takamura-san go from the hidden boss that can be kited and evaded with careful planning to a complete and total threat.
I cannot understate how well done this is.
This single moment is shocking, gasp worthy, intimidating...
An amazing payoff.
