Some interesting-looking manga that recently caught my attention but I can't find too much information about them, some are with lack of translations and others seems to be lesser accesible or nowhere to be found. This stack just serve as some kind of wishlist full of obscurities and curiosities that I'd like to read at some point if it's possible.

For those who want help with filling out item #135 in the 2024 Manga Reading Challenge. Or if you really wanna judge a book by it cover. Thanks to vanitasx12 and batsling1234 for their contributions.

An interest stack featuring the top 20 (or 19) winners of the Kono Manga ga Sugoi!" (This Manga is Amazing! aka このマンガがすごい) annual magazine for 2022, with female and male winners included (so 39 winners total).

This stack will feature both male and female category winners, alternating between the female and male winners, from first place to twentieth place.

Note that there can be ties here (usually two-way), and if a category is missing some place (for example, missing 14th place in the male's category), it usually indicates that its title was not revealed as per the author's request.

Publisher format follows MangaUpdate conventions - Serialized In (magazine)

Please feel free to comment/DM if any information is off/missing.

*Iguana no Musume/Iguana Girl is a stand-in for the Anthology collection "A Drunken Dream and Other Stories" released by Fantagraphics in a large trim delux hardcover.

Manga series with covers that feature recurring design and composition elements, consistent art styles, gradual changes that show intent and overall harmony of the entire collection. I'm open to suggestions, I try not to add too many “standing character” situations, but will do so if the art is striking enough.
