What it says on the tin - mangas where the protagonist doesn't have the same cookie-cutter manga (or manwha) design.

Motivation.

These are stories that use a lot of references to Otaku culture in various aspects. Some may center the Otaku-ism, some may only use it for characterization.

Manga that deep dive into specific hobbies, jobs, and fields









This is lowkey my fav hyper-specific theme despite the fact that I'm unemployed lol

A seinen manga means a comic published in a magazine targeted towards the adult male demographic in Japan.

An interest stack featuring the top 20 winners of the "Kono Manga ga Sugoi!" (This Manga is Amazing! aka このマンガがすごい) annual magazine for 2018, with female and male (men and women) category winners included (so 40 winners total).

This stack will feature both men and women category winners, alternating between the women and men winners, from 1st place to 20th place.

Note that there can be ties here (usually two-way), and if a category is missing some place (for example, missing 14th place in the men's category), it usually indicates that either its title was not revealed as per the author's request, or there was a tie.

Please feel free to comment/DM if any information is off/missing.
