Ones that I think stand out among the rest and do something different. There are many supernatural mangas that I love, however, these are the ones that not only do I love, I consider them truly unique whether that be referring to the world setting, story concept, or characters.

The level of "darkness" for each series varies. But most of these are not your typical wholesome fantasy series.

It's just cute and chill... Right?

Horror is a genre that you cannot experience with any other one. Even the thriller genre doesn’t give us chills as the horror genre does. So, just unlike horror anime, horror manga series are worth reading.

So, are you looking for the best horror manga to read? If so, all you need is a good list, and we have it right here. Shall we begin our list of horror manga then?

Just manga that are creepy af. Good writing is optional. DECENT writing is optional. The spook is all that matters.

Can be creepy in terms of visuals, atmosphere/tension, or content matter (e.g. dystopian, psychological horror, etc)

Approximately..

Stories that are melancholic and sad, but have a hopeful outlook at the same time
This is my favourite tone of story, so any recommendations to add in are very much welcome!

Interesting and notable titles from Shueisha's seinen magazine line.

Slice of life manga involving things like death, suicide, murder, depression, anxiety, paranoia, racism, survival, dark secrets(ex.cloning), loss/decline in/of civilisation etc.

I've included the fable and Kizudarake no Jinsei which aren't labelled as slice of life but they lie somewhere between gritty crime drama and a slice of life story.

Manga with a shounen or seinen with a romance subplot in the background, although it’s not the main focus (plenty of romance fan service though).

Dear Gothic Lolita lover

This manga is about Gothic world and clothes.
Frills, lace, ribbons🎀,rose…Gothic and Lolita adorned with opulent decorations.

Girls wearing such Gothic Lolita are cute! Don't you think? Sometimes they are cool! Don't you think?

when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth?

A list of manga about solving a big mystery, solving individual cases that are unrelated to each other or solving individual cases which are linked to solving a bigger mystery.

The mysteries solved are either a mystery to both the protagonist and the reader or just the protagonist with the reader knowing most of what's going on, it may also be a mystery to whoever is trying to solve the mystery which could be supporting characters or the protagonists antagonist.

Im doing this one for the boys back home you feel me kuh?

Nah but im stacking this for all the stories I find with maids as a bigger characters to be honest. Pretty hard to do though not gonna lie.

(SIDE NOTE) some of these im like 99% sure are lolicon, so tread at your own risk cuz most of theses I haven't even read.

also imma try to keep it out of SEX

Stories featuring plots centered around “dolls” &/or main protagonists who are “dolls” themselves

These series are known for their deceptive usage of cute covers, characters, and designs.
Yet what awaits the reader is nothing like they thought....

- Weebookey

Series that have gothic and/or vicrotian or edwardian feel/setting/aesthetic. Periods like 19-century Europe and French Revolution are included!
Some are well-known, some are not so much :3
I love this If I find something new and fresh, I add it!
