Looking for an anime or manga about someone on self-improvement. Could be a monk pursuing enlightenment, or could be a degen trying to better himself.

Anything about someone trying to improve themselves.

Thank you for your time!

    Sorry if you’ve seen these already, went down my list from the highest scores so most of these are fairly popular.

    Dororo… in a way? It’s a story of one of the main characters trying to get his body parts back to become human.

    Mob Psycho 100 kind of fits the bill, while self-improvement is not the focus, it’s the driver of the story and the motivation of the protagonist.

    Inu-Oh - kind of a similar premise as Dororo, but in a movie form, and instead of slaying demons it revolves around becoming a human via music performance.

    A recent one: Onii-chan wa Oshimai (OniMai) - the main character, a NEET, is turned into a younger aged girl and begins their journey to become a functioning member of society.

      I have yet to watch Dororo, but I definitely want to get around to watching it. I’ve heard great things about it. Thank you.

      I’ve already seen Mob Psycho 100 up to season 2. It somewhat fits the bill, I suppose. A great recommendation nevertheless, thanks.

      I’ve never heard of Inu-Oh, I’ll go read up about it. Thanks.

      And finally, Onii-chan wa Oshimai-- I’ve watched some of it and it does fit the bill perfectly. Good recommendation; I plan to finish it eventually.
