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

A collection of manga about manga artists

This is my first interest stack and i think that all of the mangas that are in this post can get you in too many emotional dilemmas and give too many moments of mental reflection or doubts about different topics of life.
So yeah, hope all of you enjoy this track <3


(Also, i´m not an english speaker so i´m sorry if i commit too much grammar faults)

List of sleeves for "elitist". These manga have been considered as "deep" animations by various critics and analysts.

In this compilation there are manga with quite complicated stories that are not recommended for all audiences. As they are: cult manga, artistic, experimental, avant-garde, underrated, psychological, philosophical, unique or mind-blowing.

So just so we're on the same page, I only add stuff here I actually read and enjoyed, otherwise the list would be muuuuch longer)

My lowest score is around 6, most highest rated are in my top-10.
Hope you enjoy the list.

As the title says, sometimes the story behind the making of a manga can be more exciting than the manga itself. The manga in this article show us what is going on in the creator’s head when they make these stories for us.

Some of the best drawings in manga. Whether it is because of the level of detail or because of its creativity and uniqueness, these manga have beautiful artwork. This list only includes one manga per artist.

Of course this is very subjective and only consists of manga I’ve read. Feel free to comment more manga on my profile for me to check out and I might include in this list!

Part 1 : https://myanimelist.net/stacks/15026

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.

From psychedelic/trippy stories to overall unique and bizarre reads, this stack definitely has the "wtf" factor. Read at your own discretion 🤓

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

Titles with manga artists characters from different demographics and genres. They can be realistic, romantic, comedic, sexy or horrifying! Includes autobiographies.

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

Work in progress!

Nice, interesting, or otherwise worthwhile stories that you can knock out in a sitting and might not have heard of. Please consider checking out the respective authors' other work as well!

Official releases in English are listed when applicable.

Collecting manga can be really hard on wallets and the average right-to-left reader. So whether or not you want some short reads or something for your collection that will be easy on your bank account, here is a selection of underappreciated short series to explore your horizons with!

This will contain mostly one and two volume stories, but maximum English volume length will be three to four volumes. Official and COMPLETE English physicals must be available, so this stack will not have partially translated manga like many of TokyoPop's releases, nor digital-only releases like THE COMIQ (please still read that one though!). Most of these should be standalone titles and should be readily available even on the secondhand market.


WORK IN PROGRESS: I will add descriptions later.


Disclaimer: I am a big fan of the fantasy genre and the shoujo demographic. I will try to put all series of all kinds of tags, demographics, and topics here, but it should be expected to see my bias. I apologize in advance.

This stack contains licensed titles that have been OUT OF PRINT and series that apply will be indicated as such. This means it is near impossible to find these new without destroying your wallet, but there is still a chance in the ever-growing secondhand market! To find these older, hard-to-find series, I recommend the following sites:
https://www.abebooks.com/
https://www.alibris.com/
https://www.biblio.com/

BookFinder is also a huge help with searching for listings with bargain prices! To get the best results, look up the ISBN for English prints of series and copy-paste them into the search.
