There are only a few manga translated in Greek, mainly because the Greeks interested in manga usually know enough English to read it in that language, and thus publishers don't usually bother with translating. Also for this reason the existing Greek translations are very partial, covering only a few volumes, and usually only in physical format, since they don't bother with making ebooks. Still, here I gather the ones I'm aware of in one place.

For part 2: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/19694
For sequel series: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/2415

This is only the series with over 100 chapters, there are many more titles available with less than 100 chapters which are also great series worth reading, this is only for those who might want some longer series.

It only says website in the title, but there’s also an app, however not every series is available on the app.

No sequel series were added to the list (Tokyo ghoul, Jojo’s), because they’re in the sequel series interest stack (and there’s no room anyway).

You can read all of the series with every chapter for $2.

The only series without every chapter available for free are:
Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai (Chapters are added as the volumes are released) NOT LIKELY TO GET ANY MORE VOLUMES.

These are the series only available on the website:
Golden Kamuy
Jigokuraku (Hell’s Paradise)

aka "don't let your kid read this alone" manga, or "why the F is this Shounen?" manga.
If you can't stand gore or dangerous/extreme mental body of thought, don't try these.

I have a stack with the opposite: Seinen with little gore:

The Masked Man is an American YouTuber who makes videos primarily about manga, but also anime, and very occasionally video games. He does in-depth analysis on the subjects he talks about. Here is his top 50 manga.

NOTE:-
"Fata Morgana no Yakata: Anata no Hitomi wo Tozasu Monogatari" is not manga, its a Visual Novel.(https://vndb.org/v12402)
Consider this list from Beserk to OPM to be the actual manga list.

A revenge. A vengeance. A vendetta. A retribution...
What sweet words to discribe justice...

I absolutely love to follow the journey of a shattered (wo)man with an iron will to avenge something (s)he loved, but lost.

A revenge is an old (but gold) trope, and i felt like doing a stack of it.
So here is one with Mangas that i've personally read, and contains a plot with a predominence of justice made by (wo)man.

What is the first thing you think about, when you think of Japan?
Samurai !!

In this stack I’ve listed all the samurai manga that I’ve read so far. Some are philosophical, some are childish, some are dark and some are pure action.

It’s a mixed bag. But they all revolve around samurai.

After finishing Blade of the Immortal I read an interview of the mangaka, Hiroaki Samura. He talked about how Manji and Rin’s relationship works. They are a team. Too much age gap to be “partners”. Or is there? That thought adds a dynamic to the story.
I don’t know how much that is true, but since then I’ve kept my eyes open about more such series.
