Just as the title says, manga about food and cooking that are worth your time.

(see other stacks)

Obviously there are too many manga set in Tokyo to list all in one stack, precedence is given to those that highlight unique Tokyo shitamachi or culture.

this is the list of mangas that focus on a certain subject whether its a certain hobby, sport, music (like instruments), interest, or even to the most obscure subject possible. this type of manga tends to be quite informative about the subject their covering and could possibly use as entertainment education manga (in some cases)

I've been into these kind of manga but never stuble any fixed term, genre, or tags for it since the subject these manga covers may vary and even obscure, but at the same time, somehow you can categorize it into a single type of genre

feel free to request adding any manga that I might missed
hopefully I can update this list overtime

Seinen manga that can be enjoyed by underage (-18) readers.
Most of them are Comedy/Sports/SOL based.

The psychological genre is one that has boundless freedom in exploring it's themes, since the topic of human psyche, our behaviour and mind's patterns are something far too personal and individual.

The works that are part of this genre are conceived to kindle their reader's contemplation - about themselves, of the world presented in the story, as well as our own, and how shockingly similar or different they appear to be.

As well as that, this genre is usually focused on exploring two general types of personalities - ones that are seeking their true self, their place in this world and the significance and worth of their existence. The other usual psychological profile is one that is already established, presenting us an image that starts to crumble bit by bit, their core values degrade and all they're left with is a husk of their former selves, devoid of emotion, empathy or will to exist.

Besides the psychological portraits, the reader can find a lot of abstract concepts and subtle symbolism, which enhances the experience. Often times the art can be radical, provocative and avant-garde, or nuanced and subdued, but in all of these works, it does strives to accomplish one thing - to provoke us to think outside the box, to present us worlds or people that are inherently broken, but which has their importance and meaning, and which are not afraid to challenge our currently established worldviews.

Stories of people practicing, perfecting their craft with passion. Specialists in what they create. The art of creation and expression.
Just people passionate about what they do.

Manga about alcohol (in a way or another).

Not on MAL :
Boku to Yome-san to Osake no Kankei

The Bar; a place of refuge and nocturnal ambiance. part confessional, where lives intertwine briefly in the haze of a black night. These tend to focus on introspection, relationships, and life's grittier aspects, creating a contemplative and immersive aesthetic in a sorrowful or dark way.

• Not all of these are translated in English
• Some manga do not fit this genre, and are just related to Bars or Alcohol.
• Contrarily, not everything is related to Alcohol either...
