primarily action/supernatural shounen + seinen from the past 10 or so years with limited members on MAL. some is finished, some was cancelled, some is still publishing. mostly shorter series. varying levels of quality. being on this list doesnt mean it's perfect, but i think more people should check it out. volume count for publishing series relates to how many are available in english online.

updates at my own pace + when i find the time to read new things.

Great shounen mostly my favorite

Chainsaw Man is definitely one of the sensations to come in recent years. Although it got quite an amount of recognition, it deserves more.

These are all some pretty good shounen manga! Some of these are pretty popular while others are pretty niche but I decided that as long as it’s shounen, I’ve read the manga and liked it, I added it to the list. That means there are fantasy series, delinquent series, isekai, sports manga, and etc. I hope you find something interesting to read in here! Have a blast!

Mangas currently being published in Weekly Shounen Champion magazine from the publisher Akita Shoten

Mangas that are not in MAL:
-Seekers - Meikyuu Saikyou no Oji-san, Kami Haishinsha to Naru

Official Challenge Stack

To get the limited-time badge:
1. Click the Restack button
2. Choose a manga you haven't started reading yet
3. Read at least 2 volumes of that manga by April 30th

*　Manga you started reading before the challenge began (Feb 25) will not count. Pick something new!

*　Please make sure to write the number of volumes you read in your manga list. If you have 0 volumes read in your list, you won't get the badge.

I've gone into MAL's database to find as many of these as I can, with some general criteria for making the list:
- Should have at least 20 volumes or 100 episodes in total.
- Should be aimed towards fans of battle shounen. However, it does not necessarily need to have the Shounen tag. This is very subjective, so I may have left out some legitimate series with that.
- Not including series that are mostly slice of life or that sort of thing.
- Not including Delinquent or Martial Arts series for the most part, as they can practically make up their own genre. Some exceptions though.
- Not including super obscure manga with very little/unreliable info about them.
- Sequels are counted with the original, so Boruto is included with Naruto for example.
