To have an easier view on the manga relations of the club, here's the first stack of ~40 manga, from A to E + manga starting with numbers.

Also need to add Corpse Knight Gunther and rearrange stacks.

The four other stacks are:
F-Ko: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/349
Ku-N: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/357
O-S: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/11584
T-Z: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/22247

---
Burning Hell: Kami no Kuni: removed Nov 1.
Aku no Higan: removed Dec 2.
Baito-saki wa "Aku no Soshiki"!?: removed Dec 2.

These are 4-koma with only one page per chapter, so they can be binged quite easily.

(Also thanks to tl_dr)

One manga per author.

Manga originally released in full-color (as opposed to the standard black and white).

Part 2: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/8171

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.

Less than (or max) 20 pages per chapter. (Include all genres)

Looking for a new animal companion, but tired of the same ol' cats and dogs? Here are some manga featuring unusual creatures that you'd never expect to see as pets!

find solace in the ultimate slice of life series

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)

Manga in this set not listed in MAL:
Wakusei Garaga
Shiroi Troika
Haha to Ane

Next set: (TBA)

Gothic or dark sub-genre manga for alternative people

manga about humans and their supernatural pets! these pets are either undefined lil weirdos, magical beasts, talking animals, eldritch beings, or mythical creatures-- and all very loved by their owners! to qualify, these pets must be markedly abnormal from a regular pet, either by appearance, species, mysterious abilities, or behaviour. the pet must be considered outside-of-normal either by their owners or strangers that encounter them and the owner may have to hide their abnormality from others. if the pet looks like a domestic animal but talks, and this is considered normal in-universe, the manga may still be considered for this stack. weird-looking pets that are normalised within the world they are set in may also be considered. the feeling of weirdness towards the pet can also be temporary for the entry to still count; after all, humans adapt to strange things very easily when they're cute!

for manga and manhua in which a humanoid character temporarily pretends to be a pet or a stray animal through a magical transformation, please see my other stack!: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/49298

part two: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/56109

not on MAL:
My Cute Plastic Shopping Bag Cat (Oneshot) by 泉すずしろ
'My cute plastic shopping bag manga, so cute that it makes your head spin~ A cat lover Japanese salary female worker found a plastic bag cat(?) by the roadside and brought it home with her.'

Astral Pet Store by Yuewen Manhua (阅文漫画), China Literature, & Ancient Xi
'In the era of astral pets, only the might of pets was essential! However, making the pets stronger has always been a slow and arduous process for pet warriors. That was until the appearance of a mysterious pet shop that changed everything! The weakest skeleton could slay a great golden dragon with a single strike after training at this pet shop! Even the humble watchdog of the shop possessed ten legendary skills, and the female worker in the shop claimed to be a Goddess... As for what the shopkeeper Su Ping thinks: I'm merely training these cute pets to become exceptional overlord beasts. What? Is it not normal?'

Monster Pet Evolution by Yuewen Manhua (阅文漫画) & Wine Pool Inebriation
'The world experienced a cataclysm and monsters are now roaming the Earth. Born out of a necessity to subjugate these monsters, this new era saw the rise of a new profession. Monster Trainers – individuals who conquer, cultivate, and train these monsters. Thus begins the story of Gao Peng. An ambitious young man with dreams of his own, who gets launched right into the golden age of monster cultivation. Gao Peng: “Even if it’s a loach, I’ll be able to evolve it into a dragon that can soar to the heavens!”'

my curated short-term 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 i've been meaning to read for a while but never got to
- no particular order

Otherworldly and/or monstrous features creeping into character design, art style, and/or otherwise general aesthetics; prominent uses of orange, black, and stripes, perhaps even gothic and/or chilling fairy tales—whether or not it's actually set in Halloween, these anime fit the spirit (or at least at any Hot Topics near you!) ⋆

I'm surprised that there isn't a name to this specific kind of aesthetic I've been craving. I seriously want to see more cute anime that embraces the spookiness in ways like Soul Eater or Hells did.


Non-manga examples:
Over the Garden Wall, Coraline, Corpse Bride, Devil's Candy, Tim Burton, Gekidan Inu Curry
