A manga that makes you want to travel when you read it.

A manga that somehow makes you want to travel and feel like traveling when you read it. Manga based on light novels are included in the manga version.

There are some BL works mixed in, so be careful if you don't like them.

Critics & Connoisseurs was a club that was founded in 2008 and ended club activities on the 31st of 2022.

The goal of the club was to come up with a list of highly recommended quality shows and manga that are exemplary either within its genre or universally. A manga needed a 70% approval rate in our voting to get on the relation list. The following manga are all part of said list.
Do note that our club's main focus always was anime, our club's readership was relatively low which results in a lot of manga not being able to reach enough votes to get on the relation list despite having a 70% or higher approval rate.

More or less short manga reads in my PTR

These are series you can read within 1 volume, I tried adding as many series that aren't a collection of One-Shots and are full stories! all genres, all demographics!

• Note: for manga with official english releases, please check out my other stacks!
https://myanimelist.net/stacks/52913

Seinen manga that can be enjoyed by underage (-18) readers.
Most of them are Comedy/Sports/SOL based.

I have a stack with the opposite: Shounen with lots of gore:
https://myanimelist.net/stacks/5469
-------------------------------------------------------------
!!! Waga Na wa Umishi Chapter 131 contains some uncensored nudity (I was totally caught off-guard) so you can read up to 130 without any problem, or skip 131 and go straight to 132 because you won't miss out on anything important.
Also, Hokuhokusei ni Kumo to Ike shows some of those scenes (Ch 8 + cover of Ch 10).
Dr. Kumahige has an unnecessary boob exposed moment in Ch 18.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Same Girl and Dounyatsu are Seinen manga that look very "Shounen"-ish.
-------------------------------------------------------------

=> Stack (2/2): https://myanimelist.net/stacks/30231

A collection of great manga between 2 and 5 volumes that you can read in a single day !

The reason I have not included 1 volume manga is because I have made a separate stack for them : https://myanimelist.net/stacks/2090

If you've had enough life and love experience to have a decent understanding of how things actually work (and how they don't), you realize that the way manga and anime typically portray romance is lacking, to say the least. And also generally horrible, if I'm being honest. But some are clearly written by people who know what's up—and you should check them out.

This is a list of printed works featuring characters who:
* exhibit authentic romantic chemistry with each other;
* have charisma and/or sex appeal and aren't afraid to use it;
* are able to hold mutually engaging conversations on different subjects;
* have three-dimensional personalities that are interesting and relatable outside the context of their relationships;
* go above and beyond the stale tropes in their relationship;
* otherwise behave like people tend to in non-imaginary relationships.

Includes well-written same-sex/LGBTI romance that complies with the principles above.

Includes stories that explore toxic/unhealthy relationships and relationships that don't end well but are still true to the real-world experience.

Includes stories that aren't completely focused on romance but have it as one of the core elements of the storytelling and character progression.

More entries will be added in the future. Existing entries are subject to revision.

This list constitutes my personal views and stances. Feel free to shoot me suggestions via DMs but make sure you have a convincing argument if it's not something that's already on my main manga/anime list. I don't promise it'll end up here but I will consider all suggestions.

This list is printed-works-only because many of these don't have an anime equivalent and I don't want to multiply effort. Entries that have anime adaptations may be experienced better as such (I have noted it in the descriptions where applicable).

Honorable anime-only and anime-original mentions: Mind Game, Furiko, Steins;Gate.

Stories that evoke strong emotions and convey one/multiple "moral of the story".

Range from light-hearted cheerful slice-of-life to dark psychological tragedy.

Some are highly philosophical and can shift your perception of life, happiness, morality, humanity, etc.

- A mix of philosophical, mystery and action stories

Great mangas for everyone from different genres and years.

Manga that pose philosophical questions to the reader in low stake settings. The best manga of this genre are able to do this in an unpretentious way; conjuring up the feeling like:-
- a dazed shower thought
- taking a long walk at sunset and pondering the why.
- child like curiosity of the world
- things that make you go ‘Hmmm’.

tags: philosophy, existential

realism, magical realism, symbolism, pessimism, tragedy, acid humor, trauma

realismo, realismo mágico, simbolismo, pesimismo, tragedia, humor ácido, trauma

just trust me bro

[not including but relevant: tsubasa reservoir chronicle and xxxholic rei aka sister series and sequel respectively]

This is for your friends who only know manga through anime or only relate it to shonen and H, it’s not necessarily directed at a “manga beginner” but for someone who wants to understand it better as a medium. More than 1 volume, well drawn, easy to follow yet interesting visual and narratively.

Some aspects I considered:
- Little to no gratuitous fanservice and tropes that might break the immersion (e.g. author insertion)
- Cinematic vibes
- Down to earth, realistic characters
- Cross-cultural appeal
- Human drama

I'm trying to make a comprehensive list of all Manga and Manhwa that was translated into Swedish. In this part so have I listed the manga that was fully translated into Swedish.


Excluded two hentai mangas from the list;
Se: Bondageälvorna (Jp:ボンデージフェアリーズ)
Se: Frestelser (Jp:誘惑（エロティックエキセントリック))

Part 2: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/9625
Manhwa: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/15256

sequels are not included.

Honorable mentions that aren't on MAL:
- Bibliomania, by Obaru & Macchiro
- Service Area, by Inio Asano

Blending sci-fi, supernatural, and fantasy, they are unconventional stories that transcend the boundaries of space and time. The dominant feelings are rather melancholic and gloomy.

Manga that Fujimoto Tatsuki (Chainsaw Man author) mentioned in the Magazine Switch. Could be taken as recommendations.
