When people try to explain why they love a manga so much, you might find the usual "I love the characters", "really like the art", "world building!!". Which, by no means is a bad thing, but an element of manga that is not very commonly talked about it panelling. It's very easy to confuse composition and panelling, but hopefully this list will help you experience the true beauty of how important panel structure is to maintain consistent flow whilst reading!

Panelling, Composition, Art and Negative Space are all taken into consideration when adding to this list. Enjoy!!

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.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

Manga with tactical fights/strategic battles that are not determined by strength or numbers but how they use what they have available to them, using their knowledge/cunning to outsmart their opponent, exploiting weakness, planning beforehand or quick thinking in the heat of battle and using what's in their immediate surroundings to their advantage.

Not all included manga are at the same level when it comes to tactical fights/strategic battles and while the majority of fights are tactical and the battles strategic there are some that are not.

1 title per series

manga serialized in seinen magazines by female mangaka, as well as non-binary mangaka.

I tend to like series with these criteria to them, so here's a list of them. Feel free to give me recs of stuff to add!

A seinen manga means a comic published in a magazine targeted towards the mature male demographic in Japan.

The Edo period (Edo jidai), also known as the Tokugawa period, is the period between 1603 and 1868 when Japan was under the rule of the Tokugawa shogunate and the country's regional daimyo (feudal lords).

Important historical figures of the era:

Miyamoto Musashi
Hokusai

Parody of my "A Cinematic History of the World" manga stack but with alternative historical manga instead. All manga are set within earth on within an objective time period or event (or lackthereof) from history. The changes in said events are irrelevant, but must adhere to fiction.

For example (if WWII never happened, or XYZ country won a war instead).

These will be in order, and always updating!
Gundamn and other mecha (excluding NGE) are strictly excluded from this list!

open to suggestions as it's not my strongest area of expertise!

Missing: Monstress

The oversaturation of highschool romance in manga & anime calls for a palate cleanser in the form of romance between adults.

Age gap is okay as long as both love interests are adults and out of highschool.
