primarily action/supernatural shounen + seinen from the past 10 or so years with limited members on MAL. some is finished, some was cancelled, some is still publishing. mostly shorter series. varying levels of quality. being on this list doesnt mean it's perfect, but i think more people should check it out. volume count for publishing series relates to how many are available in english online.

updates at my own pace + when i find the time to read new things.

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 that at some point i read that the art was great.

The Mangas and Light Novels featured here must have strong sales and/or awards, or other external factors such as their publication magazine, the author's popularity, localization, availability in manga and light novel format, and any rumors or leaks.

New rule: Once the confirmed series finally releases, I will then remove them from the list and replace them. So as long as the show haven't come out from now on (7/7/2023), I will keep it on my list till it comes out.

Red Manga Covers!! Part of my RAINBOW series!

• Original Manga only! no sequels!!
• Manga cover must feature block colour or little-to-no changes in gradient as the background.
• Select colour must also fill a majority of the cover and act as negative space.
• For the sake of this list, I will try my best to avoid obvious titles named "red"
• Best artwork is selected.

For other colours, simply search "Fifty Shades of" or see all my stacks by viewing my Profile! <3

A stack ordering the manga with the best cast of characters to worst in terms of writing and just likability. It’s all subjective but here’s what I think. Time to trigger half the community.

Will keep updating when I’ve finished more.

For the badge-based item entries in the yearly Manga Reading Challenge. As there is an entire decade's worth of MRC events with a myriad of badges provided by various talented artists, this will be a multipart stack. All series are marked with their respective first badge year.

Note: If you don't see a title from a specific badge in a given year here, it's either in a previous part or I failed to find the source for it. My apologies if it's the latter.
