Kirara anime is well known, but what about Kirara manga? Well, here we have a stack for it.

Stories of girls and women who pursue a passion

This is the original The Knuckleheads' Hall of Fame.

These manga have been judged by The Knuckleheads and found to be good. This taste in manga is 1000% more correct than the elitists. Legends says that if you watch and like all of these manga, you have good taste ,and your IQ is in the negatives.
Any of these manga can be voted out of the list, and if that happens, they will be removed from the stack.

To be specific, these have at least 50 chapters, but under 100. I also have stacks for 10–50 chapters and under 10 chapters!
The only other criteria for these stacks is that I enjoyed this manga, haha

Many manga were published in Brazil, i chose a few for this list.

Editora Newpop is a Brazilian publisher founded in 2007 by Junior Fonseca and is known for launching more differentiated content. Currently, it is unquestionably the publisher that works with the largest number of genres, being practically the only one that continuously releases yaoi, yuri, hentai, light novel, gekigá, 4-koma, classics, manhwas, webtoons and Brazilian works series.

All manga published by polish publisher Studio JG

—-

Studio JG, powstałe w 2006 roku, na początku swojego istnienia znane było z wydawania magazynu o mandze i anime „Otaku”. Po czasie ich działaność rozszerzyła się o polskie komiksy inspirowane stylem mangowym oraz doujinshi komedie oparte na wcześniej powstałych już tworach (np. Akatsukiss inspirowane Naruto, Dead Not inspirowane Death Note).
W 2009 postanowili wydać mangę „Hetalia”, co rozpoczęło ich drogę w zostaniu jednym z największych wydawnictw mangowych w Polsce.

Lista jest ułożona od najstarszej pozycji do najnowszej.
Part 1 obejmuje lata 2009 do 2016
Part 2 lata 2017 do 2019: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/40735

Mangi, które nie są już w oficjalnej dystrybucji nadal można kupić z drugiej ręki.

This series of interest stacks is a list of mangas & light novels that have been or are being licensed and published in Argentina. This DOES NOT include imported physicals originally released in other territories, only manga licensed for the Argentine market. Novels, Manhwa and Manhua are included, however, manga-style non-asian releases are not mentioned here. Any manga missing on MAL will be noted in each stack's description, or in particular entries related to them.

The manga are in alphabetical order according to the title they were published under in Argentina, and not according to their original title. Each modified title is noted under each manga. Most of these can be bought online, although there are discontinued manga which can no longer be found unless bought second-hand.

These interest stacks will be updated (semi-)regularly and should always be considered to be incomplete. Please, message me if there's any entry missing, and/or if any info is wrong or missing. Due to MAL's 50-items limit on interest stacks, the entire list spans multiple stacks, some of which are continuations of the same letter.

Oldish manga featuring characters that evoke the 萌え (moe) reaction as per the standards in the early-to-late 2000's, when the so-called moe phenomenon was at its peak in Japanese wota-culture. The titles I've listed here vary greatly in terms of genre, subject matter, and popularity, but they all hold the moe factor in common (in my opinion, anyways.) Some of the popular titles have resurfaced here in the Western side in recent years as part of an internet-born aesthetic known most commonly as "animecore."

*I've only listed manga here. Some of these series originate as light novels, or their light novel counterparts predate the manga (if they're based on anime or games, for example.) In the case of multiple manga adaptations, I've only included the earliest published title.

**If you're not familiar with the concept of "moe" or would like to learn more about it, I also recommend reading these great books on it:

a list of titles for anyone who wants to read outside of their usual genre using titles with each letter of the alphabet. manga has been chosen on the basis that it is non-mainstream, so is less likely to have been read, or is the closest to the letter theme as possible

disclaimer: i have not read all of these. some, like G.I.D. are notoriously hard to find, but (hopefully!!) there is something here that piques your interest and you find something new!! have fun reading!! :)

i considered myself to be at an early-intermediate level in japanese studies--until i came to japan. though i suspected i would probably be have over-estimated my abilities, and i had heard plenty of common wisdom about how studying grammar and college-level japanese courses like the ones i had been in weren't ideal ways of actually learning japanese/languages in general. but i didn't truly realize just how little my study of intermediate grammar points would help me comprehend daily life in japan.

as many of the people reading a list like this will probably already know, linguists such as Stephen Krashen (pronounced: 言語学の神様) and Beniko Mason have insisted that SELF-SELECTED READING (or FREE VOLUNTARY READING) is key in the process of second-language aquisition. in (overly) simple terms, they believe that language acquisition begins with input (e.g. reading & listening), and that output, grammatical knowledge, and communicative competence come after an abundance of 'comprehensible' input. but as the qualifier 'free voluntary' suggests, Krashen, Mason and their cohort believe that input must be compelling to the learner--engaging and comprehensible (enough) to keep them interested and driven to keep going.

most of us language learners here on MAL probably have a lot in common when it comes to what we find to be 'compelling' input material/content. i honestly have my doubts about whether it is specifically reading that plays this massive role that Krashen and Mason suggest--i tend to work under the assumption that subtitled video, spotify's lyric function etc. have just as much to offer to language learners. im convinced that its most important that we find activities we enjoy and are likely to make routines of, and keep ideas like those of Krashen and Mason in the back of our minds as we choose from whatever activities our natural inclinations lead us toward. ergo: if you like reading hentai raw, in the name of haruhi-sama i implore you to read hentai raw!!

here are recommendations of manga i've found in raw form through one channel or another, which have seemed pretty easy to read, and which use furigana for almost every single kanji (at least, in whatever edition i happened to be reading--i think this sometimes varies with alternate editions of a series). this way you can immerse yourself in kanji without being bogged down in trying to guess the pronunciation of a word, and can instead read it and understand through context.

i'll order this by MAL popularity, for lack of a better idea.

as always, i would LOVE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THIS LIST! just dm me! and please take any and all information i share with an appropriate of salt--this is all more-or-less armchair linguistics/language learning, and i am by NO means fluent in japanese! lol.

also, while i won't put direct pirate links in the comments for each entry, feel free to message me if you want help procuring anything here, and i'll do my best!
