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.

Seinen manga is targeted to males, has action, philosophy, psychological elements, maybe some realistic romance.
That’s the common theme for this list. I will not include the popular shonen Naruto here, but will include Hunter x Hunter. That’s because HxH is dark and has deep philosophical themes. So that’s it!

Gintama? Ichi the Killer? Gantz? Bleach? GTO? Not today, ma'am

These are some manga that are left unfinished for a long time. I'm only going to include the series that i enjoyed and cared to read the rest of the story. I can assure you that these manga are enjoyable but it sucks that you can't read the rest of it. For me Official release would be fine too but it's very unlikely to happen. Please give these series enough attention so that some group might pick this to translate 🙇

Some interesting manga centered around (or set in the backdrop of) war between nations in and around (an analogous version of) the modern era, with a slight emphasis towards the late modern period and beyond. I'll try my best to include a good amount of variety of locations / settings.

I curated this list based on the amount of discourse each of these stories presents about the historical context of a war, or makes considerable effort to deliver storylines that depict war strategies or the lives of combatants or an explanation of national politics.

I will try not including sequels, prequels, or spin-offs in this list, unless they are significantly different in nature to the original, in an effort to avoid repetition or bias towards any particular stories.

Sorted in alphabetical order.

Same rules just like other stacks and this will be last one i do for a while.

First of all, not every movie adaption is good as their original source manga. Also, not every movie in this list is on the level of Rurouni Kenshin, but they are still solid and fun to watch.

Shonen Sunday, is one of the big three magazine along with Shonen Jump and Shonen Magazine. It had a library of classic title such as Inuyasha, Detective Conan and Cross Game, etc,... Though, it might hold not a candle nowadays compare it competition Shonen Jump and Shonen Magazine but it do have some heavy hitters like Komi, Frieren, Call of the night,...

Note: I will included weekly, monthly, online and Sunday S into one list.

Few series does license here but it doesn't came out as of yet, so i won't included here

I will picked some series for this list, a few i missed out or hasn't came out might included in the other future list. So will that said. Enjoy

The Sengoku period, also known as Sengoku Jidai (lit. 'Warring States period'), is the period in Japanese history that had many almost continuous civil wars in the 15th and 16th centuries.

The Ōnin War in 1467 is generally chosen as the period's start date and the Battle of Sekigahara in 1600 and its aftermath of Tokugawa Ieyasu being officially appointed as the shōgun in 1603 is generally chosen as the period's end date. The Sengoku period overlaps substantially with the Muromachi period (1336–1568) and the Azuchi–Momoyama period (1568–1600).

Important historical figures of the era:

Oda Nobunaga
Date Masamune
Toyotomi Hideyoshi (Oda Nobunaga's subordinate and succesor)
Tokugawa Ieyasu (fellow Oda Nobunaga subordinate and succesor that became shogun)
Iga and Koga shinobi military confederacies
