This list is a social experiment, a study about the manga vs the reader.
What you gonna feel while reading each manga in this list may be either a unique great or devastating for your mental sanity.

Blending sci-fi, supernatural, and fantasy, they are unconventional stories that transcend the boundaries of space and time. The dominant feelings are rather melancholic and gloomy.

Most scored manga with no anime adaptation or announced

100. Cardcaptor Sakura: Master of the Clow is the actual N. 100 aka the last 6 volumes of the original Cardcaptor Sakura manga.

We've all experienced that frustrated feeling of enjoying a manga/LN, only to find out that it has a horrible, rushed, incomplete, unsatisfying ending. Here is a list of manga/LNs with endings that are so fulfilling and complete that they will leave you with nothing but a heart full of contentment and/or bittersweetness. List was created through collective data from multiple websites of people's answers as to what shows are considered to have satisfying endings.

[daily updates!]
this stack is ideal for - both - veterans and beginners alike, providing classy romantic comedy manga tropes/plots for the former and a way to skip to the next level for the latter.

Part 2 of a list of animated adaptations, of which if they were given, they would possibly shake up social networks for some other reason.

Manga/LNs with intertwining plots. They feature large casts/many different groups of people moving independently but simultaneously to form one larger plot, and actions taken by characters/groups influence others (Narita Ryohgo is a master at this; a lot of the titles on this list are written by him). May involve frequent POV shifts and may have a non-linear plot.

Short manga that pack quite a punch. All are under 8 volumes.

Mangá² podcast recommendations (#001-#050)

Manga that I consider masterpieces, arranged from best to worst. Stories that I consider to be a cut above the rest. All are completed works, which is why several exceptional manga aren't included on this list, like Black Lagoon and Chainsaw Man.

Ones that make me think about human nature and have good discussions. I think slice of life should give you a slice of life(life lessons to learn). Ones hit me and make me cry. They make me walk away with something in the end. I hope they hit you and make you think too.

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.

Waalex11's Recommendations of the ROMANCE/DRAMA genre.

... My personal list of critically great manga, exclusively of romance and drama that are worth reading.
