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).

Volume 1 released after 2020.

Series where the characters are trying to be a manzai duo, does not include manga where the dynamic of the jokes are manzai based.

Honorable mention to "Odd Taxi" for the struggling manzai duo "Homo Sapiens."

Mangas that sumarize the year of 2021.

From fantasy adventure to historical fiction to, yes, superheroes and monsters, manga has stories for readers of every genre and age.
Here is a list of manga I hope you can enjoy.

Manga that discusses / examines creative endeavors, either literally or metaphorically (heavy focus on the characters' relationship to art rather than the art itself). Some rec'd by friends / other MAL users and may not reflect the taste of the creator of this stack.

Motivation.

titles centering on visual arts, performing arts, and fashion; typically sentimental in nature and include friendship and coming of age themes; sorted by average rating

this is the list of mangas that focus on a certain subject whether its a certain hobby, sport, music (like instruments), interest, or even to the most obscure subject possible. this type of manga tends to be quite informative about the subject their covering and could possibly use as entertainment education manga (in some cases)

I've been into these kind of manga but never stuble any fixed term, genre, or tags for it since the subject these manga covers may vary and even obscure, but at the same time, somehow you can categorize it into a single type of genre

feel free to request adding any manga that I might missed
hopefully I can update this list overtime

Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Kenkaku Romantan - Hokkaido-hen is on hiatus.

Manga with nice touching moments that can make you cry

Not on MAL
- ARAKI HIROHIKO NO MANGA-JUTSU (El Arte de hacer manga por Hirohiko Araki- Ivrea)
- Osananetori Suki Datta Osananajimi Hitozuma o Netotta Kekka (Me acuesto con mi amiga casada - Kemuri)

Manga that deep dive into specific hobbies, jobs, and fields









This is lowkey my fav hyper-specific theme despite the fact that I'm unemployed lol
