Manga centered around a character's pursuit of a subject matter, e.g. an artform or career. Emphasis placed on works where the engagement with the subject matter is the driving force of the story.

No Sports manga(Kuroko, RXL etc)
No Comedy turned Action series(Sakamoto Days, Yozakura Famiy)
Must be mostly grounded in reality but can have supernatural or sci fi elements
Must be a Manga written for the shounen demographic

- 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

Series which were officially licensed by an English publisher, but were ultimately left incomplete (or not even released). This isn't a very comprehensive list (and older licenses are probably underrepresented), but I aimed to have a variety of examples across different publishers.

Thanks to ertiis for suggestions!
& let me know if there's an error or any suggestions of what to add.

*doesn't include fully released series that went out of print, or series that were published as compilations (ex. Oishinbo, Golgo 13), or license rescues

Potential series: Freezing

As series are axed they shall be cycled out of the list and replaced by new entries.

For anyone interested in what graced the pages of the world's biggest manga magazine.

Weekly Shonen jump… a magazine that has been around for decades and has produced gems such as Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, Death Note and so on. However, while the magazine has produced many beloved series there have been many that have not received the same treatment. This list will cover all of the weekly Shonen jump series that have gone undepreciated if and if not deserved, and ultimately were axed from the magazine. (Still working on list)

mangas/manhwas that have mcs with passion over what they do or discover sth they are passionate about

As you know, there are several manga and light novels which, for some reason or another, it is impossible for them to have an animated adaptation, but in that case, they could break it on social networks, so I decided to create this "stack", mentioning some of them. If I have time, I'll update it.

If I had a nickel for every time...

Here the mangas that have been canceled from 2015 onwards will be listed
the only rules are to have been canceled after 2015 onwards and to have more than 1000 members in MAL

More manga recs for yall, will continue to update...

this is the list of mangas that focus on a certain subject whether its a certain hobby, sport, music (like instruments), interest, or even to the most obscure subject possible. this type of manga tends to be quite informative about the subject their covering and could possibly use as entertainment education manga (in some cases)

I've been into these kind of manga but never stuble any fixed term, genre, or tags for it since the subject these manga covers may vary and even obscure, but at the same time, somehow you can categorize it into a single type of genre

feel free to request adding any manga that I might missed
hopefully I can update this list overtime
