Nobuyuki Fukumoto is one of the quintessential authors in the world of psychological/suspense manga, but his lengthy mangaography and atypical art style may be a little intimidating for newcomers. I've compiled a list of what I would consider his core works, and a recommended reading order.

Hidden gems and "out of the radar" manga and manhwa that you probably haven´t heard of if you are new to the medium. Overlooked works. Good for the ones who want to get deeper and already tried the classics, or simply want to scratch the bottom of the barrel.

Criteria:

1. Underexposed and/or underrated works ranked below #2000 in terms of popularity.
2. Only one work per artist. Authors can be repeated, though.
3. No one-shots.
4. Complete scanlations (english)
5. Award-winning works included.
6. Manga from the 100 best-selling are not elegible.

My Favourite One-Shots: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/5034

I've been asked pretty frequently to recommend something, so I've created this stack.
This is my personal opinion on what's "a hidden gem". I think some of these considered "mildly" popular? If you read a lot of manga, you probably know some of these. I hope you do, haha.

Everything here I've either read or reading atm. None of those have an anime adapatation (OVAs and live-actions don't count).

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.

Manga with a main character who's old. Like around 50+ years old. Feel free to give suggestions for additions.

Manga with my dad as the target demographic

Manga featuring protagonists who are 40 years of age or older.

A variety of manga I've enjoyed and would recommend, that are each three volumes long. Give them a try!

Yo besties, I've been having a challenge of reading short manga.
so I thought of creating interest stacks for this challenge.
Some of the manga I've listed in the challenge aren't in MAL so I will list them in the description.
Each set (currently there are 15, and it continues) has 49 entries, and the manga vary in genres and popularity.
All of the manga are 1-5 volumes long, and I would love to see other people participating in this challenge!
(All of these should be scanlated, except for a few)

Manga in this set not listed in MAL:
