- No Fully Gag or iyashikei Manga, so No NNB, Barakamon or Aria
- I Will Allow Witch Watch and a few others Since there is dramatic scenes in them even if its sparse.
- There can be male protagonists in the series, but at least 75% of the manga has to revolve around the Female Lead.
- I Will also not include SOME harem/romance manga, but only some, a bit abitary but again dont wanna conflate the list
- I May count genderbent manga

This list is a social experiment, a study about the manga vs the reader.
What you gonna feel while reading each manga in this list may be either a unique great or devastating for your mental sanity.

The time loop or temporal loop is a plot device in fiction whereby characters re-experience a span of time which is repeated with some hope of breaking out of the cycle of repetition

Comment under my profile if you have a suggestion you think fits and I'll check it out, or if one of these isn't a time loop and the description misled me. (I haven't read all of these yet)

Manga featuring children with a seemingly innocent or light-hearted premise/start that isn't what it seems.

Series that cause what I call "Twisted euphoria"

Series that make me ecstatic to be alive, grinning from ear to ear or laughing like a maniac, despite (or rather, because of) how f***ed up parts of them are, in conjunction with how not-f***ed-up other parts of them are.

Cute girls killing people with a smile,
magical girls committing sudoku,
beautiful worlds full of haunting ghosts,
a shounen-style tournament full of huge perverts, etc.

As an example of what I mean, Doki Doki Literature Club had me smiling from ear to ear the whole way through. Even moreso in the second half than the first.
Fujimi Lovers is a perfect example in terms of manga.
The Mesmerizer Miku song is another good example.
Also, if you've ever watched Murder Drones or The Amazing Digital Circus...
The "Twisted Euphoria" feeling I'm talking about is pretty similar to how Baio Rin from 100 Girlfriends reacts to violence.

The ones closer to the top of the list are generally more likely to cause this feeling, and the ones at the very bottom (Saya no Uta and below) are the manga/novel versions of other media that would be on the list, instead, if it was allowed.

The series on the list are based on my subjective experience, so some other series that could cause the feeling might not be on here, like Madoka, Made in Abyss, or some others.

Manga/Manhwa where there are central non-romantic relationship(s), ie friends, teacher-student, something in between etc but not family/found family, I have a different stack for that

Some of these may have romance as well but it's not between the main characters and/or it's a subplot that often doesn't result in the characters actually getting together

Not on MAL:
-Susu, Han: About a pair of estranged siblings reconnecting, and their group of friends. Good comedy and drama.
-The Competition: About a violin competition, has friendships and sibling relationships. Good drama.
-The Wolf and Little Red Riding Hood: A group of outcasts become friends. Great comedy.
-Our Time: Adorable friendship between a boy who can stop time and a girl who can only be free from her coma in his stopped time.
