This stack will consume all good/average manga that i read and start releasing on this year.

Stack it for more stacks cuz the list will have multipole parts (maybe)
again, if DM me if you think something is worth to be in the stack that I didn't add.

Thanks you.

Here is a list of mangas that should appeal to old farts like me, who are too old to find fun in shonen characters getting stronger, cliché fantasy or in vanilla school romance tropes.
The main drive is that the manga should have some personality, with decent and properly written characters, laid-back humor, an interesting context and / or a subtle story. Good art and page layout are also appreciated. No violence porn or excessive fan service either, I like authors to focus on something else than these simple devices, although I'm not against them at very small doses when they serve the story. The manga may have been adapted in anime or not, I only address the mangas here.
There are probably some spoilers in my comments so skip them if you're worried about that.

Some of the edgiest/dark stories I have come across over my years of reading, but they are somehow enjoyable. Enjoy!

What is edge?
Here’s some criteria’s to find out:
Is the story nerve wracking or uncomfortable to read?
Is the mc overpowered?
Does the mc “struggle?”
Does the mc have a desire for revenge?
Does the mc have sex with everybody in sight?
Does the mc have some self-values or is an anti-hero?
Does the story have torture, rape, or killing?
Are the panels dark/uncensored in their actions?
Are the side characters all psychopathic and kill/treat the mc like crap, since he’s the mc?
—-
Not all of the criterias that an edgy manga can have, but I hope this helps you in your adventures of identifying edge.
