The Shogakukan Manga Award (小学館漫画賞, Shōgakukan Mangashō) is one of Japan's major manga awards, sponsored by Shogakukan Publishing. It has been awarded annually for serialized manga since 1955 and features candidates from a number of publishers. Each winning work will be honored with a bronze statuette and a prize of 1 million yen (about US$9,000). Special awards are also occasionally given out for outstanding work, lifetime achievement, and so forth.

You want to read more mangas but are tired of only being able to read one-shots or mangas with few volumes? This list is for you! Here i separate mangas that are quite long, but are fast to read. I'm considering "fast to read" the ones you can read 1 volume much faster than the average mangas. Enjoy!!

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

Manga with tactical fights/strategic battles that are not determined by strength or numbers but how they use what they have available to them, using their knowledge/cunning to outsmart their opponent, exploiting weakness, planning beforehand or quick thinking in the heat of battle and using what's in their immediate surroundings to their advantage.

Not all included manga are at the same level when it comes to tactical fights/strategic battles and while the majority of fights are tactical and the battles strategic there are some that are not.

Must-read manga mostly demographed as Seinen but also contains other good mangas that are not published in any Seinen magazine but are definitely suited for an older/adult audience.

All these mangas are a good read in my opinion, ofcourse this includes ones that I consider top-tier and personal favorites but the others - if not amazing, are definitely worth reading at least once.

Mangas that have a sword and sorcery, sword-and-sandal, medieval/fantastical middle ages like setting

Stories that take place in historical settings, in historical order.
