primarily action/supernatural shounen + seinen from the past 10 or so years with limited members on MAL. some is finished, some was cancelled, some is still publishing. mostly shorter series. varying levels of quality. being on this list doesnt mean it's perfect, but i think more people should check it out. volume count for publishing series relates to how many are available in english online.

updates at my own pace + when i find the time to read new things.

Recommended Manga/Manhwa that hasn't been adapted into anime

just trust me bro

[not including but relevant: tsubasa reservoir chronicle and xxxholic rei aka sister series and sequel respectively]

Lesser known manga that I think more people should read.

Mangas that sumarize the year of 2022.

no boredom, just vibes

A carefully curated selection of obscure manga ranging from the great to the kinda terrible.

Light 'em if you got 'em! Here's some manga for smokers.

This list has good representations of women. (And we need more!)

Bonus: There's a healthy relationship when romance happens.

It is not registered in MAL, but I strongly recommend Another Typical Fantasy Romance.

Mangas with compelling visual elements that together give the mangas a cinematic feel which I think would make for incredible anime, aesthetically-speaking.

The ingredients these mangas have for stunning anime:
- captivating and thorough CHARACTER DESIGN resulting in iconic characters (visual attractiveness a strong bonus for me)
- rich, detailed illustrations to create atmospheric/immersive SETTING
- stylised, vivid/realistic, detailed but polished ART with a degree of distinctiveness in style
- compelling, dynamic COMPOSITION and/or creative, evocative and fluid PANELLING that make the manga read like watching a film

Stack notes:
- While the mangas have to varying degrees all the listed qualities, I note for each work the “notable” aka its most outstanding quality that makes it cinematic
- 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
- Includes unadapted and adapted works; adaptations themselves are irrelevant as they don’t affect the mangas’ quality

underrated fantasy manga I keep coming back to whenever I feel the need to escape mundane reality, isekai is also included

Will update with new additions and/or dropped titles. Always looking for new recommendations!

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

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)

Battle manga, released after 2009, about some form of monster hunting organization with hierarchical structure (not necessarily military)


Original idea from izzombie on https://anilist.co/user/Izzombie/mangalist/Anti-Monster%20Corps

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)

The best manga of the year 2023 according to the magazine called kono manga ga sugoi! This stack features the top rated manga targeted towards men.

This list is ranked.
