Nobuyuki Fukumoto is one of the quintessential authors in the world of psychological/suspense manga, but his lengthy mangaography and atypical art style may be a little intimidating for newcomers. I've compiled a list of what I would consider his core works, and a recommended reading order.

manga that have gambling as a major element in a certain arc/in the whole story

List of mangas which have focus on board games like mahjong , shogi , go etc.

List of fully translated manga from 1991 for a potential group read

Mangas centered on japanese Riichi Mahjong. Mostly titles i've read.

All manga that fit the "Death Game" criteria. You can also look for the anime version.

An interest stack dedicated to manga that focuses on Mahjong.

a "response" to a a interest stack called "Seinen is art."

manga, regardless of it's demographic is a work of art. this stack is a personal selection of works that come to mind when i see the words "manga" and "art" in the same sentence, from works that discuss the nature of literature, hyper-complex dystopian worlds, gorgeously drawn artwork
and incredibly well-researched historical manga to battle manga, stupid comedies made by furuya minoru, yonkoma manga and silly romances, a list that barely has anything concrete that is holding it together and will probably be unlisted by myanimelist mods, but it's not like that matters, enjoy the stack!

He's like a father figure to me...

Manga that either have weird ideas (maybe even morally wrong/illegal), topic that not many people are interested in (eg, niche game etc) or low rating but are actually quite decent.

Will update as I go along.

Manga somehow related to Clamp: referenced in their works and mentioned in interviews.

Not on MAL:
Macaroni Horenso by Tsubame Kamogawa (mentioned in xxxHolic)
Comet-san by Mitsuteru Yokoyama (Kobato inspiration)
Kyonyuu Hunter - Ohkawa likes this but I'm unsure about the author, I'm gonna assume it's the one by Kouichiro Yasunaga

Manga and light novels that I can only presume are untapped kino

Every manga which Fukumoto writen or has a part in it
In this Interest Stack is every manga which is on MAL but there is couple more of his works mostly mangas that are written before 1980. which can not find online and the newest which isnt written and drawn by fukumoto which is Ten spinoff about Soga.

Manga that are underrated and/or underread. A lot of these are much better than they are credited for, some due to being uncomfortable. Or they might just not be that well known despite being absolutely amazing.

Just to explain, these are just manga that will hit you differently when you are going through loneliness, depression, etc. These are NOT manga that will make you feel better, just manga that will feel real and make you think more. These manga don’t necessarily need to be about loneliness, depression or any form of mental health, just the vibes will do.

It is important to highlight that art is not limited to just creating beautiful illustrations. Visual impact, visual identity, layout, comic book formatting, media format utilization, visual exploration, semantic value in art, design, visual symbolism, etc., also contribute to creating beautiful art.

No particular order.
