The Shogakukan Manga Award (小学館漫画賞, Shōgakukan Mangashō) is one of Japan's major manga awards, sponsored by Shogakukan Publishing. It has been awarded annually for serialized manga since 1955 and features candidates from a number of publishers. Each winning work will be honored with a bronze statuette and a prize of 1 million yen (about US$9,000). Special awards are also occasionally given out for outstanding work, lifetime achievement, and so forth.

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.

Exludes ramen, sushi, drinking, diet, food-related titles in fantasy settings, and eating/food consumption titles.

(see other stacks)

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.

When this stack gets full, I'll make #2 with the links in both descriptions, no manga in here will be swapped out (or in).

(Also thanks to stelllan, need to add Baki and Akagi later)

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

Seinen manga that can be enjoyed by underage (-18) readers.
Most of them are Comedy/Sports/SOL based.

Stories of people practicing, perfecting their craft with passion. Specialists in what they create. The art of creation and expression.
Just people passionate about what they do.

Regardless of the version you wanna try, you're not gonna regret the experience. If you don't know the manga version, I recommend watching the drama first. And if you liked it, just read the manga afterwards.

They're manga. They're long. The story has ended. There's no anime adaptation in sight. Here are the highest rated stuff.

For the badge-based item entries in the yearly Manga Reading Challenge. As there is an entire decade's worth of MRC events with a myriad of badges provided by various talented artists, this will be a multipart stack. All series are marked with their respective first badge year.

Note: If you don't see a title from a specific badge in a given year here, it's either in a previous part or I failed to find the source for it. My apologies if it's the latter.
