The list of manga that are considered the most recognizable in Shonen genre, including the Big 3 of Shonen Jump. Can be used as a reference sheet for newcomers to the manga industry.

- No Fully Gag or iyashikei Manga, so No NNB, Barakamon or Aria
- I Will Allow Witch Watch and a few others Since there is dramatic scenes in them even if its sparse.
- There can be male protagonists in the series, but at least 75% of the manga has to revolve around the Female Lead.
- I Will also not include SOME harem/romance manga, but only some, a bit abitary but again dont wanna conflate the list
- I May count genderbent manga

Manga that're strange, confusing, ridiculous, seem surreal, are overly silly, where the abnormal is normal, are very high paced, or may simply make you go "what?". Anything ranging from gag comedy to gore, all with various levels and types of absurdity.

Maximum of one title per author.

Weekly Shounen Jump Series that I wish would get an English translation.

I also want Viz to finish GinTama and Reborn.

When the fc gradually, but surely becomes the strongest (or most influential) in her environment

To be updated :3

Manga that make you go, "What the fuck am I even reading anymore." Usually manga that go batshit insane approaching the end of the story. Kongo Bancho here because of the shark, so fucking peak. Also any Go Nagai manga ever.

Just when the manga is better then the anime really

Order is from ochd.co.uk, so it may not be alphabetical
