Stories that evoke strong emotions and convey one/multiple "moral of the story".

Range from light-hearted cheerful slice-of-life to dark psychological tragedy.

Some are highly philosophical and can shift your perception of life, happiness, morality, humanity, etc.

Mangas that has a character who self harm by depression or suicidal mind.

For part 2 of this list

Slice of life manga involving things like death, suicide, murder, depression, anxiety, paranoia, racism, survival, dark secrets(ex.cloning), loss/decline in/of civilisation etc.

I've included the fable and Kizudarake no Jinsei which aren't labelled as slice of life but they lie somewhere between gritty crime drama and a slice of life story.

Not everyone likes these adaptations but the intention is either to please those of us who like to see these things or at least take these manga into account to expand the list.
Dramas, Kdramas....
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No a todos les gustan estas adaptaciones pero la intención es ya sea complacer a quienes nos gusta ver estas cosas o al menos tomar en cuenta estos mangas para ampliar la lista.

mainly consist of shoujo, josei, and maybe seinen

manga featuring characters that engage in any form of self-harm.

if you know anymore series that fit into this category, please message me & i will add your contribution!

Shojo ＆　josei manga with thin romantic elements or no romantic elements

This may be a good choice for those who don't like the romantic elements of shojo manga…

Cute characters must suffer.
A lot of these are the manga of anime that were in my anime stack. (I could be mistaken for some of them.) If you think I should add or remove a manga, send me a message, and I'll consider them. A short, non-spoiler reason why it's dark is appreciated.

it’s so heartbreaking when you read something with two close friends but then they have to risk their lives to save each other or fall apart. a friend that would do anything for them is so wholesome but also so heartbreaking.

Deep in the darkness of the mind

This list has manga that have self harm mentioned/shown quite frequently.
all forms of self harm not just cutting!!
