Mystery manga that contain supernatural/mythological/folklore beings. May only make mention of these things or may actually be set in a world where they're real. "Beings" includes creatures, spirits, youkai, gods e.t.c. People with supernatural powers are not included.

Only series focusing on or centred around said beings have been added. Only the first entry has been added if it's part of a series and manga only.

I've been asked pretty frequently to recommend something, so I've created this stack.
This is my personal opinion on what's "a hidden gem". I think some of these considered "mildly" popular? If you read a lot of manga, you probably know some of these. I hope you do, haha.

Everything here I've either read or reading atm. None of those have an anime adapatation (OVAs and live-actions don't count).

YLAB is a South Korean production company which has produced numerous manhwa and manga series. The Super String Universe is their flagship shared universe which multiple of their series are set in.

Blue String is their second shared universe, centering on youth action stories which are set in neighbouring cities in the Gyeonggi province. There's also a Red String universe, focused on romance stories.

The order follows YLAB's official website timeline (which is apparently a bit out of date).

Chill out like it's Sunday with the best of the best.

EDIT: Replaced "Arms" with "Mikadono Sanshimai wa Angai, Choroi".

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!
