naoki urasawa's wonderful documentary program manben shows mangaka at work while they discuss their form and process with urasawa-sensei. this list includes one noteworthy series by each mangaka featured on the show.

an english fansub of the series can be found here (this is NOT urasawa-sensei's official website):

i will do my best to choose series' that can be read in their entirety in english, either officially or via scanlations. information can be found in the descriptions for each entry.

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!

They would have gotten away with it too, If it weren't for these meddling protagonists.

A list of manga about solving a big mystery, solving individual cases that are unrelated to each other or solving individual cases which are linked to solving a bigger mystery.

The mysteries solved are either a mystery to both the protagonist and the reader or just the protagonist with the reader knowing most of what's going on, it may also be a mystery to whoever is trying to solve the mystery which could be supporting characters or the protagonists antagonist.

So we all know the mystery genre tag is freaking bloated and stuff with stuff that isnt really mystery
so i thought ill make a list that filters most of the stuff out like i did for horror
Only 1 Series per franchise

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

◦ Mostly Seinen but also others which are not are also listed definitely suited for an older/adult audience or are just the epitome of good writing!

◦ Almost all my personal favorites but if not one, it's definitely worth reading at least once.

Only Manga concluded as of creation.

Pessimistic worldviews. For when you want to wallow in despair.

It doesn't matter if we all die.

I will read one manga from each year starting from 1980

Fire, water, earth, air, the manga reading challenge demands a manga with an element in the title and I'm here to give suggestions.
