soundofwonderReally late, but here I am.
Talk about your Happy Place - the things that give you joy, calms you or keeps you sane.
To me, that's Gintama. I started it when I was 7 or so, and to me it's a series that has accompanied me through life for the past 10+ years. Unlike other series I read, I didn't get into the fandom side of it. But it's been a constant in my life and I'm grateful for it. Its funny arcs were what kept me going on some days.
IMO, it's a bit different from the long running other shounen series - most of them have an end goal - In One Piece Luffy wants to find...the One Piece(I think?), underdog highschool [insert sports of your choice here] team wants to win the championship etc.
Gintama is different in that from the first chapter it just went 'yeah this guy doesn't really have any goals in life. Also he's a good for nothing lmao' and even though there's a Serious Plot, Gintama(before it started wrapping up loose ends) just meanders about the lives of characters rather pointlessly lol. But that's what I like about it - it's about a bunch of people winging through stuff that happens to them, and ain't that life?
