This list will always be in alphabetical order.

If the ratings on my profile tell you nothing else it should tell you this; I am very a harsh critic. My average for animé and manga are both in the 5's and, considering how many titles I've completed, will likely always be there. If I rate something a 6 or higher I really do think it's worthwhile. So everything in this stack is something I would recommend at least trying.

All manga in this stack are manga that have ended and never received a TV or movie adaptation and that I have read and given a rating of 6 or above. This stack will be updated as I find new titles. Expect Yotsuba&! (8.5) to make this list when it ends as I highly doubt it will ever get animated (Azuma is refusing to allow it).

A list of manga under 10,000 members, ranges from manga with N/A members to around 7000 members.
Included manga are either N/A in score or over 7.

I don't expect everyone to agree with my choices and that is okay. If everyone agreed with me that would be boring.

If the ratings on my profile tell you nothing else it should tell you this; I am very a harsh critic. My average for animé and manga are both in the 5's and, considering how many titles I've completed, will likely always be there. If I rate something a 6 or higher I really do think it's worthwhile. So everything in this stack is something that I consider to have gone above and beyond my expectations and absolutely worth a try.

This stack contains all of the manga that I have completed and given a rating of 8.5 or higher. This is the top 9-11% of my completed manga list (hence the stack name). This list will rarely change, though there are currently 5 titles that may end up here when they finish, so I guess I'll list them here as "honorable mentions". Those manga are; Gabriel DropOut (8.5), Gochuumon wa Usagi desu ka? (8.5), Machikado Mazoku (9), Tonikaku Kawaii (9.5) and Yotsuba&! (8.5).

Off i go again with this sequel stack. Hopefully i get to read some great series and have a higher final score than last time. As before i will provide my thoughts on each entry upon finishing it.

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.
