No magic, no impossible feats, no fantasy or isekai, only gritty or light-hearted realism.
There might be a little bit of plot armor but nothing that is drastically outside the boundaries from what normally happens in life.

If they've got a setting in the past, reality will obviously differ from nowadays', often in the sense of lack of order, violence and/or other moral standards.

The two most frequent subgroups here are:
1) People performing their jobs or passions, be it as doctor, firefighter, someone of the rescue force, a musician, sports player or something else.
2) People who suffer under violence and unlucky circumstances, trying to hold on to life when it tries so hard to tear them down.

(I'm not that far into BG and BP yet so if those change later on, I'd remove them)


!! About 4-punkan no Marigold: This manga has a MC that can see the last moments of a person's life. He cannot change anything about it though, no matter how much he tries. This means it is as if everything goes on normally with the exception that the MC knows what will happen. Added this because the story feels tangibly real, with lots of sorrow, powerlessness and loss.
So yes strictly it shouldn't be in here but this is an exception that is justifiable imo.

Manga that feature a couple that have entered into a marriage of a contractual nature, rather than marrying out of love. This can be self appointed or done so on behalf of one or both parties by: a parental figure, a company, or the government.

Good & cozy vibes reign! Combined with optimism.
If there are emotional moments (in some of them, not all), then they are balanced well enough with empathy not to be depressing.
Haven't read that many yet so this will surely be edited later on.

Manga depicting the daily life/religion/historical events/just culture overall of different parts of the world.

Doesn't include Japanese culture since most of the manga have a Japanese setting anyway.

Manga set largely outside East Asia, but on Earth.

sequels are not included.

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

Almost none of them have magic or pure fantasy elements*.
Not always adventure, but at least they show very secluded areas and/or gorgeous landscapes.

*These two do have a fair amount of fantasy:
Hisakata no Oto & Lindbergh

(Ignore my ratings, you should dictate the enjoyment yourself)
What definitely makes manga great would be that it goes over a broad range of themes/topics. Manga isn't afraid of addressing taboo topics, nor does it avoid concepts that most other entertainment mediums WOULDN'T DARE to touch. They also provide an imaginative exploration of how the Japanese perceive these topics. We rarely get cultural perspectives on certain topics.
-
Includes topics that are rare in animanga compared to other mediums.

While it might look like you don't really need to know all of this, you never know when it will be useful: for instance with quizzes, random questions that you wouldn't know the answer to otherwise, fun facts to tell someone else, or if there's trouble or necessity of intervention in your vicinity.

=> Stack (1/2): https://myanimelist.net/stacks/9663

Honorable mentions:
-Apocalypse no Toride is a horror manga that could be included due to a couple of educational parts, such as acute hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) and its effects induced by intravenous insulin injections; however a lot of it is not really fitting to be put in here.
-Genius Martial Arts Trainer (MAL ID 170657): Fitness

(Also thanks to Lylaaz and abystoma2)

Short manga that pack quite a punch. All are under 8 volumes.

The four other stacks are:

Ones that feel like they are calm and warm. As if you’re sitting in another world and appreciating the view.

Yo besties, I've been having a challenge of reading short manga.
so I thought of creating interest stacks for this challenge.
Some of the manga I've listed in the challenge aren't in MAL so I will list them in the description.
Each set (currently there are 15, and it continues) has 49 entries, and the manga vary in genres and popularity.
All of the manga are 1-5 volumes long, and I would love to see other people participating in this challenge!
(All of these should be scanlated, except for a few)

Studio JG, powstałe w 2006 roku, na początku swojego istnienia znane było z wydawania magazynu o mandze i anime „Otaku”. Po czasie ich działaność rozszerzyła się o polskie komiksy inspirowane stylem mangowym oraz doujinshi komedie oparte na wcześniej powstałych już tworach (np. Akatsukiss inspirowane Naruto, Dead Not inspirowane Death Note).
W 2009 postanowili wydać mangę „Hetalia”, co rozpoczęło ich drogę w zostaniu jednym z największych wydawnictw mangowych w Polsce.

Lista jest ułożona od najstarszej pozycji do najnowszej.
Part 1 obejmuje lata 2009 do 2016: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/40713

Mangi, które nie są już w oficjalnej dystrybucji nadal można kupić z drugiej ręki.

Manga of all genres filled with soothing and heartwarming stories. 𓇢𓆸 ⸙
These Manga focus on gentle moments and warm relationships, providing a peaceful escape and a sense of comfort.

my curated TBR list (mainly cuz i hate going through the plan to read section)
- includes stuff that's either been on hold for too long, or been meaning to read for a while but never got to
- no particular order

Manga series with covers that feature recurring design and composition elements, consistent art styles, gradual changes that show intent and overall harmony of the entire collection. I'm open to suggestions, I try not to add too many “standing character” situations, but will do so if the art is striking enough.
