* - unofficial translation of the title

This stack features underrated mangas whose serialisation started in 2024, which you should keep your eye on. Would add if I find some more good mangas.

Manga/Manhwa where there are central non-romantic relationship(s), ie friends, teacher-student, something in between etc but not family/found family, I have a different stack for that

Some of these may have romance as well but it's not between the main characters and/or it's a subplot that often doesn't result in the characters actually getting together

Not on MAL:
-Susu, Han: About a pair of estranged siblings reconnecting, and their group of friends. Good comedy and drama.
-The Competition: About a violin competition, has friendships and sibling relationships. Good drama.
-The Wolf and Little Red Riding Hood: A group of outcasts become friends. Great comedy.
-Our Time: Adorable friendship between a boy who can stop time and a girl who can only be free from her coma in his stopped time.

possible next big hits, all hidden gems

Not on MAL:
-If I were you
-Kingdom of queen

Spent time choosing the list for MAL latest list so here's 20 from me
A bit biased towards popular stuff with good art so take this recommendation with an open mind
Still hope for most of them to get an anime someday :pwease:

Feel free to discuss stuff with me here or on my discord
Also this is my first public list, hopefully

Manga where a rock band and its members are the main focus, I'd tell you to check out the anime if the ones listed get adapted since they would also have amazing songs to go with the story

But if there isn't, it's only a matter of time

Includes manga that don't even have english translations, because it's also only a matter of time before they do get translated (I hope)

Also includes sequels, spinoffs and anthologies
