Interest Stacks

Mangaby TeKSMeLater

A selection of titles from the gekiga scene, a short-lived yet influential artistic movement that flourished during the 1960s to the 1970s and maintains a prominent underground presence today. While mostly known as a pioneer of cinematic paneling and close attention to realism, it would be more accurate to consider gekiga as a counterculture. Surrealistic, autobiographical, and experimental works emerged as an alternative to the Tezuka school of aesthetics and paved the way for other artists to different modes of expression.

This is in NO WAY a comprehensive list and should be treated more as a starting point for diving into this movement. There are so many more important artists and titles in the scene that MAL unfortunately does not have entries for, and probably never will. Since I can't speak Japanese, there may also be some titles that I am unfamiliar with. The 50-title limit doesn't help either, but I hope this gets you started in this often-unexplored side of manga.

Note: Not all of these titles are available in English.
11/04/2022 Updated to include more underground artists.

An attempted list of the most important/influential post-war mangaka, and some of their most important series. All of the mangaka/manga here are well worth checking out.

Post-war refers to after World War II. So the list will exclude figures most known for works which came out prior to the War like Tagawa and Yokoyama(Ryuuichi).

Series that are heavily overlooked on MAL (at the time of writing, under 2k members). Most, if not all of them are also underrated. Will likely add series in the future as I read them.

In 2006, the Japan Media Arts Festival held a special 10th anniversary awards festival for manga, anime, art and entertainment. For manga and anime, the rankings were split into a popularity poll (general public vote), and a 'professionals' ranking (critics, mangaka, etc.). The only 3 series in the 'professionals' ranking for both manga and anime were 'Astro Boy', 'Doraemon', and 'AKIRA'.

These are the manga voted by the 'professionals'. First place in the popularity poll was 'Slam Dunk'.

Complete list of the book 501 mangas to read in Spanish

I couldn't find the manga (Miss 130/Miss DD) It's on myanimelist's to-be-approved list, it's practically a hentai manga

I couldn't find the manga (Dekoman - Asoko mangaka ga kimyō-na art o tsukutta riyū) but the author, Rokudenashiko, is more interesting than the manga itself.
