A stack containing anthology manga series.
Anthology; a collection of artistic works or stories that have a similar form or subject.

In 2010, publisher Top Shelf released an anthology of manga collected from the alternative manga magazine Ax. Since MAL doesn't add compilations made exclusively for the English market, this collection won't appear on the site. Thus, I've made this stack to outline where each work is in the db. A majority of the works are not on MAL, but I'll add them here if or when they do appear. PS. Seán Michael Wilson, the volume's editor, stated in 2017 that despite good sales and reception, "various problems" make a second volume "unlikely, but not impossible".

anthology = "a collection of artistic works that have a similar form or subject"

there is no common theme or genre for every entry of this stack, but the majority of them are dramas. some are pretty dark as well, so please make sure to check on that before starting them (i think there is a guro one as well so).

as of now the manga here are pretty random, but i plan to sort them a bit after reading more anthologies. until then i it's easier to have them all in one place

Manga with less than 6 volumes. Not based on a certain genre, contains anthologies.

manga that are abstract and/or weird in terms of story and/or art. reminiscent of urban graffiti and scrawls of notebook sketches and diaries. list is merely just shower thoughts, there are lists better than this with more variety. for the dead minded.

The list is quite rare to find nowadays and hence I decided to create a stack since its really good. If you find it helpful, restack for better reach. Thank you!

The list had 10 Categories with 5 manga in each. I will create the stack in the original sequence :

1. Horror
2. Scenery Po*n
3. Minimalism
4. Realistic Characters
5. Western Influences
6. Costume Design
7. Monster Design
8. Feminine
9. Manly
10. Stylistic Action

[Note : In case a manga contains sequels, only the first one will be included in the list. However the recommendation encompasses the entire sequence of that manga including its sequels.]
