There are manga that are so amazingly well done that they set the bar a tad too high for any anime adaptation. But then there are attempts to bring them to the screen that go beyond that and don't stop at failing to meet expectations: they're outright lazy, shoddy, phoned-in cash grabs that drain the source material of what made it so good to begin with.

If you seek to have a good time, you must, at all costs, read these manga as they are and avoid any adaptations like plague. Do yourself a favor.

The list includes titles that have received pointless fragmentary adaptations in form of short OVAs and the like that fail to represent the original in any meaningful form.

The list doesn't include bad adaptations of manga that isn't great enough to warrant a recommendation to begin with.

More entries will be added in the future. Existing entries are subject to revision.

See also the opposite of this list: Manga adaptations made with love and care: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/2345.

Note: One-Punch Man is a special case as it's present on both this list and the one linked above. This is because its first season is an improvement on the manga experience but the second, produced by a different team, is a horrible mess. For Berserk, the old (1997) adaptation is decent, albeit still inferior to the manga, but all the newer ones range from merely subpar to atrocious garbage.

This list constitutes my personal views and stances. If something isn't on it, it likely means I haven't read the original or am not familiar enough with its adaptation(s) to have a qualified opinion. Feel free to shoot me suggestions via DMs, but make sure you have a convincing argument if it's not something that's already on my main manga/anime list. I don't promise it'll end up here, but I will consider all suggestions.

List of sleeves for "elitist". These manga have been considered as "deep" animations by various critics and analysts.

In this compilation there are manga with quite complicated stories that are not recommended for all audiences. As they are: cult manga, artistic, experimental, avant-garde, underrated, psychological, philosophical, unique or mind-blowing.

The Masked Man is an American YouTuber who makes videos primarily about manga, but also anime, and very occasionally video games. He does in-depth analysis on the subjects he talks about. Here is his top 50 manga.

NOTE:-
"Fata Morgana no Yakata: Anata no Hitomi wo Tozasu Monogatari" is not manga, its a Visual Novel.(https://vndb.org/v12402)
Consider this list from Beserk to OPM to be the actual manga list.

For part 2

Mangas with a naturalistic approach to backgrounds.
Not only are they drawn in excruciating details, or extremely well documented, but by simply looking at the panels you can conjure in your mind how the air smells or how the ground feels as if you remembered your own hometown.

It's all about the way you see the world around you.

This stack also includes manga that are not listed as "Psychological" in mal database but they still have psychological elements in them E.g. Shoujo Fujuubun.
