My Favourite One-Shots: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/5034

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).

[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

Gods, historical figures, characters from different works duke it out no matter what era/ universe they're from.

A list of manly oriented manga. Caters to those who like muscular characters, idealistic men, detailed art, manly tears, etc.

Mangas containing muscular/fit female characters.

will try to specify whether the character/s appearances to save your time on finding the chapter appearance : )

whoever made the concept of the boxer is retarded thats what he say

Mangas that have a sword and sorcery, sword-and-sandal, medieval/fantastical middle ages like setting

What does a manga need to be counted as ror look alike? I think at least 2 of these requirements :
1) To be a tournament manga
2) To have volume covers very similiar to ror (two characters in a simple background or a single character in a simple background)
3) To have already existing characters from other sources (real life, pantheons ecc...)
Also if you think a manga should be here just tell me! :)

Seihantai na Kimi to Boku (Winter 2026)

The Weekly Shonen Red (SSR) is an event that takes place every Friday night by the streamer Darkraimola where he puts manga to compete (his rivals are the Weekly Shonen Blue - SSA)

All manga read within the 2024-2025 for UoN Manga Book Club, in chronological read order (ongoing).

It is important to highlight that art is not limited to just creating beautiful illustrations. Visual impact, visual identity, layout, comic book formatting, media format utilization, visual exploration, semantic value in art, design, visual symbolism, etc., also contribute to creating beautiful art.

No particular order.
