A list of manga with the most realistic artwork I can think of. Some titles have their own style added into the manga, this is totally fine - so cartoonish features and anatomically incorrect proportions are fine - so long as backgrounds or character art is high quality and reminiscent of realistic imagery/CGI then its eligible for this list.

[Português]
Outros mangas de autores com obras conhecidas, mas que nunca ganharam anime

Critérios para se categorizar como autor conhecido:
-Alguma das suas obras anteriores com mais de 10k de membros no MAL
-Nenhuma das suas obras ganhou anime
Critérios para as obras:
-Em publicação
-sem anime
Notas:
-Em caso de autores com múltiplas obras (sobretudo de autores de LN), para evitar spam, cita-se apenas a obra com melhor nota no MAL, citando-se posteriormente as restante obras
-Em caso de artistas, será esclarecido, tanto na obra atual como nas obras anteriores
-Vou considerar artistas de versões para manga de uma Light Novel que tiveram anime, como desassociados da franquia, para assim também conseguir abranger mais autores nesta lista

[English]
Other mangas from authors with known works, but never won anime

Criteria to be categorized as a known author:
-Some of their previous works have more than 10k members on MAL
-None of their works had anime
Criteria for works:
-In publication
-no anime
Notes:
-In the case of authors with multiple works (especially LN authors), to avoid spam, only the work with the highest score in MAL is cited, with the remaining works cited afterwards
-In case of artists, it will be clarified, both in the current and previous works
-I will consider artists of manga versions of a Light Novel that had anime, as disassociated from the franchise, so I can include more authors in this list

Approximately..

some mangas with unsettling atmosphere, that may make you feel something is wrong

(only 1 manga per author, as I want some diversity)


feel free to make recommendations

Unnerving queer stories. Mostly supernatural <3
(Mayor content warnings for most of these manga)

Series that have gothic and/or vicrotian or edwardian feel/setting/aesthetic. Periods like 19-century Europe and French Revolution are included!
Some are well-known, some are not so much :3
I love this If I find something new and fresh, I add it!

Great manga under 10k members (as of 05/02/2023)

[manga I would rate between 7/10-10/10]

Manga recommendations given in the Anime Collective YouTube channel, I’ll only add titles mentioned in recommendation videos and in series review videos, so I will not be counting the ones mentioned in manga hauls or edition reviews(even if the latter also reviews the story)

brief, underrated works that stand out to me visually or thematically
key themes: gore, boy's love, youth, despair
most of these contain on-page sexual assault and other extremities
still a work in progress!

Manga with art styles that are memorable/captivating because of their distinctiveness in addition to being detail-rich, vivid/realistic, stylised, clean & polished, and fairly aesthetically pleasing. Effective composition & panelling are taken into account too for an overall rich visual experience.

These works are such feasts for the eyes that I feel compelled to read them even when I am not particularly interested in the stories/plot.

Stack notes:
- I’ve read, am reading, or PTR but have looked through parts of (denoted by “*initial impression”) the listed mangas; stack will be updated accordingly
- Max 3 entries per artist (I’m exercising self-restraint, but safe to assume that other works by the same artist are worth checking out)
- No prequels/sequels included
- Contains BL (boys love)

What the title says.

Don't read them during work or in public.

Tagged on Mangaupdates.com

Contain Nudity, Rape, Gore, Abuse, and some great plots.

Not included:
☆ Bedtime Fairy Tales by Fishbone (Manhua)
☆ Starting with a Lie by Liang Azha (Manhua)
☆ Little Mushroom by Yu Chi Jin Ze (art) & Yishisi Zhou (Manhua)

Gothic or dark sub-genre manga for alternative people

I created this interest stack mostly based on art style. I couldn't figure out which genre to label them as. Maybe 'emo art style'? Not sure, but for me, gothic fantasy better suits them. The list can be updated later when finding new mangas similar to them.
