- Related to first point, No manga that revovles around Zombies/vampire(So no HoTD and Gakkou Gurashi)

Series that are heavily overlooked on MAL (at the time of writing, under 2k members). Most, if not all of them are also underrated. Will likely add series in the future as I read them.

While most Manga only focus on one story, there're still a few out there that explore different types of stories of different characters in different circumstances. Some happy and hopeful, some dark and tragic, some cute and light-hearted, some ridiculous, some bittersweet.

Osamu Tezukas manga that's found on Helmet libraries in Finland. There are both finnish and english ones listed.

Osamu Tezukan mangaa joka on Suomen Helmet kirjastojen järjestelmässä. Listattuna mangaa niin suomeksi kuin englanniksi.

A list of 1960s manga that has been released physical in English. Any manga that goes out of print will be removed

Short manga that pack quite a punch. All are under 8 volumes.

Collections of short horror stories arranged by popularity (excluding Junji Ito, Hideshi Hino, and Suehiro Maruo).

I've put together a list of manga written by Tezuka Osamu, that was officially licensed and released in physical or digital format in the English language (mostly from North American releases). Tezuka's works in English are a mix of titles still being printed and circulated, and out of print. There are a varity of editions from comic book 'floppies', softback, hardbacks, and even boxed collections! This is a fan guide to figure out if the copies you are reading or buying are from legitimate sources.

This list is NOT complete, I'm merely one person and have probably missed a title or two.

Notes about Publisher's: Vertical Inc. was acquired by Kodansha USA in 2011, and fully absorbed in 2020. Any titles that were licensed to Vertical Inc. are currently distributed digitally via Kodansha USA with infrequent reprintings.

Digital Manga Publishing (DMP), and Digital Manga Guild Publishing/Publication (DMGP) are two branches of the same company as far as I am aware. DMP tends to be physical copies, DMGP is digital copies. Physical copies are sold via their website eManga, and Amazon. Digital copies can be found on eManga, via the following statement:

"eManga is Digital Manga, Inc.'s own one stop online shop for manga, originally established back in 2008. Providing manga both digitally (in a variety of downloadable formats) and physically, in 2018, eManga merged with DMI's print store - Akadot - to house everything in one place".

Some series that made me think about life and how shitty it gets sometimes, but perhaps there's some happiness somewhere.

This stack will keep updating, probably. I have a few dozen to add but we'll see.
