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:
https://myanimelist.net/stacks/5469
-------------------------------------------------------------
!!! 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

A collection of great manga between 2 and 5 volumes that you can read in a single day !

The reason I have not included 1 volume manga is because I have made a separate stack for them : https://myanimelist.net/stacks/2090

Tranquil atmosphere with a sense of melancholy underpinned by tragedy.

Literary & library series, mostly based on personal taste.

sequels are not included.

Honorable mentions that aren't on MAL:
- Bibliomania, by Obaru & Macchiro
- Service Area, by Inio Asano

These manga spend significant time in a library!

Please let me know if I have missed any titles.

Bookstores and booksellers are in their own separate stack.

These are unique or extremely good manga in their own aspect! All these manga and manhwa are or were listed in the club relations, and I personally have made a 150-400 word defense (the first one being an exception) for each of them, you can find the thread in the club discussions, or you can go straight there with this URL:
https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=2017676

These are listed in order of the thread, with the first one (Kyuujitsu no Warumono-san) being written the first, its defense written May 21st of 2022.

Manga removed from the club this far:
The Fable
The Boxer

Manga that involve the use of magic excluding isekai.
Only includes one title from each series as some have a ridiculous amount of titles.

Manga adaptations of classical works as well as stories about people in higher education with a DA aesthethic or people appreciating the arts with an old aesthethic. So I won't include something such as Blue Period because the aestehthic doesn't fit but it does thematically. But this is an aesthethic, and since it's Eurocentric I have to be a bit liberal with my definition.

Manga about protagonists that's lives changed for the better due to a change in how they see the world, themselves and those around them, though there are some that must go through hardships before they are able to change.

The change in these protagonists aren't instant and some of the included protagonists take a long time to change or just have a more natural gradual change that is more apparent once you have gotten further into the story.

Do not interpret this list as "reccomendations for series as good as good as Berserk," because you won't get that! But if you like knights, swords and castles and occasionally magic and appreciate those things on an aesthethic level, then you'll find things to enjoy.

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.

Interest stack created: October 8, 2022
