There are some manga that immediately hook you at the beginning, and make you ecstatic and hopeful that they will at least keep it up. But over time you notice how the things that made you interested at first give way to stale tropes, lazy character development, nonsensical plot decisions, well-telegraphed "mystery" reveals and other forms of writing impotence.

Notable plotlines remain unresolved, characters that should've stayed dead are being resurrected, difficult dilemmas are being resolved through talk-no-jutsu and plot armor, antagonists that do bad things aren't held properly accountable, lack of protagonist's ability is circumvented by sudden power-ups, lack of agency circumvented by deus ex machinae... surely you know a series or two that have fallen victim to one or more of these, perhaps as a result of either poor planning or editorial department's insistence on stalling overall plot progression so that more volumes could be sold—until it wears itself too thin to continue at all. As a result, those of you who keep following the story witness its slow, agonizing descent into the abyss by author's own hand, pleading to end its misery.

This list mainly includes manga that at least at some point—usually their first few volumes—were good enough to warrant a recommendation before everyone realized where it was going. Aside from that, I also decided on a whim to include Solo Leveling and Grashros (both of which were never worth recommending as far as I'm concerned) simply because their continuous decline in writing is remarkable on its own. It's a bit of a so-bad-it's-good situation, so you can still enjoy them ironically.

This list constitutes my personal views and stances. If something isn't on it, it likely means I haven't read it or I think it was never that good to begin with. Feel free to shoot me suggestions via DMs, but make sure you have a convincing argument if it's not something that's already on my main manga/anime list. I don't promise it'll end up here, but I will consider all suggestions.

Psychological drama, occasionally known as dark drama or was related to psychodrama, is a sub-genre of drama that places emphasis on psychological elements. It often overlaps with other genres such as fantasy, black comedy, and science fiction, while the genre is closely related with the psychological horror and psychological thriller genres. Psychological dramas use these genres tropes to focus on the human condition and psychological effects, usually in a mature and serious tone.

Psychological drama explore thematic elements such as abandonment, coming-of-age problems, denialism, disability, distorted sequences, dysfunctional relationships, human sexuality, mental disorders, mood swings, odd behaviors, post-traumatic stress disorder, psychological abuse, psychedelic art, social issues, and other serious discussions that unlikely centers themes turn more focused on both issues of the character's life and reality.

Manga that will break you. Sad comics with terrible endings have their own appeal, and fans adore them.

By the way, by the word “break”, I don’t mean they’re going to beat you. It suggests they will make you exceedingly sad or heartbroken.

The time loop or temporal loop is a plot device in fiction whereby characters re-experience a span of time which is repeated with some hope of breaking out of the cycle of repetition

Comment under my profile if you have a suggestion you think fits and I'll check it out, or if one of these isn't a time loop and the description misled me. (I haven't read all of these yet)

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.

Must-read manga mostly demographed as Seinen but also contains other good mangas that are not published in any Seinen magazine but are definitely suited for an older/adult audience.

All these mangas are a good read in my opinion, ofcourse this includes ones that I consider top-tier and personal favorites but the others - if not amazing, are definitely worth reading at least once.

This collection of manga has a theme of losing one's innocence through growing up as one of its plot point.
In general, the manga in this list will give you the kind of feelings like:
- The younger you could never imagine the messy life that you've been living as a grown-up.
- The present you that never stops regretting all the things that you've been doing up until now, while reminiscing your innocent childhood/younger self.

Perhaps the antagonist that you've been fighting all your life is yourself.

The manga will probably have drama as its genre and psychological as its theme on MAL. While on Baka-Updates, some will have "Character Growth", "Coming of Age", and in some cases, "Depression". On tvtropes, the trope is probably best described with "Innocence Lost" or "Growing Up Sucks".

Even though some of these aren't romance manga, at some point these characters have shown romantic interest in each other. And for whatever reaon, THEY DIDN'T END UP TOGETHER!!!!

So yes, spoilers ahead. This list serves as a sort of cautionary tale.
