Most people might think it’s fmab, op, or hxh, but imo, it’s Pandora Hearts (manga).

And I’m specifically talking about the manga, because the anime adaptation doesn’t come close to representing what pandora hearts truly is.

Pandora hearts anime isn’t even in my top 10 shonen adaptations of all time. It only covers roughly the first quarter of the manga and ends with an anime original conclusion. It stops way before the point where the manga starts revealing what it has actually been building toward.

The manga is on a completely different level. The foreshadowing, character writing, mysteries, symbolism, world building, and especially the way random details eventually connect together are insane.

Characters who initially seem like comic relief, side characters, or simple archetypes can become incredibly important later. So many things that feel insignificant early on gain completely different meanings once you understand the bigger picture.

People who say fmab is near flawless should try it once.

One of the most satisfying stories I've ever read. Y'all should try it.
