Manga that features twisted characters with toxic behaviors. Some are serious psychological stories that dives deep into toxic behaviors in a way that isn’t glamorized, while others are edgy trash that are just fun to read if you’re in that mood. I’ll tag them as “serious” or “edgy” in the descriptions of each manga.

(If you have any more recommendations, you can comment on my profile and I might give it a read and put it on this list)

These manga have a great way of telling a horror story.
Characters can be killed off very suddenly, creepiness is sometimes through the roof, blood and guts can be seen frequently.

Not all of them have the Horror genre, but all of them can be felt as if it were.
Brace yourself if you're reading these, you're in for a ride!

To have an easier view on the manga relations of the club, here's the fourth stack of manga, from O to S.

Great manga under 10k members (as of 05/02/2023)

[manga I would rate between 7/10-10/10]

Horror with a strong camp appeal, queer-ish outsiders as anti-heroes, queer perspectives or themes - or even just a destruction of norms around patriarchy.

A variety of manga I've enjoyed and would recommend, that are each four volumes long. Give them a try!

- Just because it has sex and/or drugs doesn't mean it's good. I might be willing to consider rock'n'roll though.

- Characters having a bit more personality than just "designated love interest" might be revolutionary for shoujo, but I'm looking for slightly higher standard than that.

Whatever MAL marks as "shoujo" goes. Suggestions are welcomed.

Most of the shoujo manga made by men were created in the 50's, 60's and 70's. Back in those days it wasn't out of the ordinary. The father of manga himself, Osamu Tezuka, created many shoujo manga, including the famous Ribbon no Kishi (Princess Knight).

After the 70's, shoujo manga created by men became a very rare occurrence with the only ones remaining being horror mangaka like Junji Ito, Umezu Kazuo and Morohoshi Daijirou publishing in horror shoujo mangazines.

On the other hand, shounen manga created by women became a common occurrence, kick-started by the influential Rumiko Takahashi beginning with Urusei Yatsura in 1978.

A shoujo manga means a comic published in a magazine targeted towards the
young female demographic (under 18) in Japan.

Josei means a comic published in a magazine targeted towards the mature female demographic in Japan.

Trippy mangas constantly unfolding like a dream

abyss \ ə-ˈbis \ noun

A bottomless gulf; any deep, immeasurable space; anything profound and unfathomable, whether literally or figuratively; specifically, hell; the bottomless pit.

Manga that embrace this concept.

— This stack is sorted alphabetically, and each item includes the reason it was picked, the level of spookiness (low, medium, or high), and the languages in which the titles are available.
— Since it's tough to track every single licensing update for manga, it's likely that I might have missed some for the titles in this stack. Feel free to let me know if that's the case!
— 'Level of Spookiness' is entirely subjective, and titles marked as *medium* or *high* may be revised later.

[⚠️ For items marked as *medium* or *high* in spookiness, it's highly recommended to check MangaUpdates or similar databases for specific trigger warnings. Please read at your own discretion.]
