The Shogakukan Manga Award (小学館漫画賞, Shōgakukan Mangashō) is one of Japan's major manga awards, sponsored by Shogakukan Publishing. It has been awarded annually for serialized manga since 1955 and features candidates from a number of publishers. Each winning work will be honored with a bronze statuette and a prize of 1 million yen (about US$9,000). Special awards are also occasionally given out for outstanding work, lifetime achievement, and so forth.

Seinen manga that can be enjoyed by underage (-18) readers.
Most of them are Comedy/Sports/SOL based.

I have a stack with the opposite: Shounen with lots of gore:

-------------------------------------------------------------
!!! Waga Na wa Umishi Chapter 131 contains some uncensored nudity (I was totally caught off-guard) so you can read up to 130 without any problem, or skip 131 and go straight to 132 because you won't miss out on anything important.
Also, Hokuhokusei ni Kumo to Ike shows some of those scenes (Ch 8 + cover of Ch 10).
Dr. Kumahige has an unnecessary boob exposed moment in Ch 18.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Same Girl and Dounyatsu are Seinen manga that look very "Shounen"-ish.

=> Stack (2/2): https://myanimelist.net/stacks/30231

No magic, no impossible feats, no fantasy or isekai, only gritty or light-hearted realism.
There might be a little bit of plot armor but nothing that is drastically outside the boundaries from what normally happens in life.

If they've got a setting in the past, reality will obviously differ from nowadays', often in the sense of lack of order, violence and/or other moral standards.

The two most frequent subgroups here are:
1) People performing their jobs or passions, be it as doctor, firefighter, someone of the rescue force, a musician, sports player or something else.
2) People who suffer under violence and unlucky circumstances, trying to hold on to life when it tries so hard to tear them down.

(I'm not that far into BG and BP yet so if those change later on, I'd remove them)


!! About 4-punkan no Marigold: This manga has a MC that can see the last moments of a person's life. He cannot change anything about it though, no matter how much he tries. This means it is as if everything goes on normally with the exception that the MC knows what will happen. Added this because the story feels tangibly real, with lots of sorrow, powerlessness and loss.
So yes strictly it shouldn't be in here but this is an exception that is justifiable imo.

No gimmicks, no throwing bombs on skateboards, no soccer prison, no baseball gambling, just real people doing real sports.

Fire series. Real Sports.

These are all some pretty good shounen manga! Some of these are pretty popular while others are pretty niche but I decided that as long as it’s shounen, I’ve read the manga and liked it, I added it to the list. That means there are fantasy series, delinquent series, isekai, sports manga, and etc. I hope you find something interesting to read in here! Have a blast!

Manga and Light Novels with many different, funny and interesting characters that makes the Manga/LN so great. Not just an few interesting MC´s, but instead a big roster of interesting characters.

If it’s a sports manga or webtoon, it’s in this. Doesn’t matter if it’s yaoi, got a romance plot line, or is just heavily sports related, I’ve got it here. Hopefully, you guys will find something you haven’t read on here. Enjoy! (Still working on writing all of the explanations)

There are a lot of great ongoing sport manga but these 10 series are definitely a must read for sport manga fans. I only ranked the manga I've read at least once.

Manga with nice touching moments that can make you cry
