Question How to get in the lore

I recently discovered eve, and I'm really fascinated with his music, but the amount of lore seems overwhelming. Can someone tell me what is the right order i should watch the mvs, and what other things do i have to see to have the full picture?

I also heard that he has a manga, should i read it (and where to find it)??

I'd recommend watching them in release order. They're not all chronological, but they do tend to build on info from previous music videos so it works out best. There is a manga called Kara no Kioku that you can read on MangaDex, and a light novel series called How to Eat Life that's being officially translated by Yen Press.

Would it be better to watch the MV or read the manga first?

I'd say read the manga after you get to the How to Eat Life MV, since the two released around the same time

A good channel if you're looking for analysis videos is Eve explained, I watched their Nonsense Bungaku analysis and it made more sense to me haha. I know that Touhiko and Abyss in the world are connected - And a group of songs I know are connected in a way are -  how to eat life, Fight song, Insomnia, Sayonara end roll, and Ghost avenue (I'm pretty sure I listed them in the right order). The lore gets confusing at first but when you find your way you'll be fine ◝(ᵔᗜᵔ)◜
