KonoSugoi is an annual magazine aimed at finding out which is the best manga with content published in the year of the survey. The choice is made by a panel of judges from the manga and publishing industry, and often reflects works with a lot of potential for anime adaptation.

Due to the variety of opinions and the extensive amount of works, the list is divided between men and women. In this stack we will cover the choices of the male audience, since the origin of the awards.

Selections from director Guillermo del Toro's personal manga collection.
Original photos of his library can be found on his twitter, as stated in this article. https://www.dailydot.com/parsec/guillermo-del-toro-anime-manga-collection/

Favorite artists: Katsuhiro Otomo, Hideshi Hino, Naoki Urasawa, Osamu Tezuka, and Junji Ito

In many manga, the protagonist is an interesting character, but next to him or her is a group of uninteresting characters (friends, lovers, relatives, servants, pets, colleagues, teachers, clients, etc.), who almost do not differ from each other and easily disappear from readers' memory, and they are needed in the plot only to regularly emphasize the level of attractiveness of the protagonist in the eyes of the readers.

This list contains some manga where the protagonist is initially surrounded by a group of interesting characters or they gradually appear in his or her life as the story develops.

This is not a list of psychological or philosophical manga intended for psychologists or philosophers, this is a list of comedy shounens, romantic comedies and other entertaining manga intended for a general reader.

The characters in these manga can be simple and superficial, but many readers remember them well and don't usually confuse them with characters from other manga.

A bunch that (hopefully) might be to your liking!

For me, it's always interesting to see portrayal of Western countries in Asian media. Here's a list of manga in different genres and demographics that are set in or feature Western countries as important part of the plot. I was focusing on modern-ish times(70s onwards), so historical manga will be omitted.

Note: arranged in the order of release. Some of the titles are NSFW.

Work in progress!

Manga with "me and the boys" vibe.

Most of the manga series mentioned will be lesser known or the ones which are ignored by the masses and falls in obscurity

Manga's and more from 100+ chapters but less than 300 chapters.

When I'm done reading the manga it will be deleted and replaced with another manga so this list won't stay the same, it's my own way of keeping track.

ONGOING SERIES - The series is still being published

COMPLETED SERIES - The series have finished being published

just a lot of haha and a little bit of hihi

An interest stack featuring the top 20 winners of the Kono Manga ga Sugoi!" (This Manga is Amazing! aka このマンガがすごい) annual magazine for 2007 (the year this ranking started!), with female and male winners included. It's a great way to find new and interesting manga to read, and serves as a time capsule for the popular manga of each year.

(There are usually 40 total winners, but I can't track down any site listing all of them from 2007 :( )

This stack will feature both male and female category winners, alternating between the female and male winners (with the exception of first place, since Honey and Clover was the cover for the 2006 stack), from first place to twentieth place.

Note that there can be ties here (usually two-way), and if a category is missing some place (for example, missing 14th place in the male's category), it usually indicates that either its title was not revealed as per the author's request, or there was a tie.

Please feel free to comment/DM if any information is off/missing.
