The list of manga that are considered the most recognizable in Shonen genre, including the Big 3 of Shonen Jump. Can be used as a reference sheet for newcomers to the manga industry.

Top 50 best selling manga (according to current reported numbers), in order from highest to lowest

(some are more loosely 'delinquent', be it important characters or elements)

(I have read at least some of all)

Series which were officially licensed by an English publisher, but were ultimately left incomplete (or not even released). This isn't a very comprehensive list (and older licenses are probably underrepresented), but I aimed to have a variety of examples across different publishers.

Thanks to ertiis for suggestions!
& let me know if there's an error or any suggestions of what to add.

*doesn't include fully released series that went out of print, or series that were published as compilations (ex. Oishinbo, Golgo 13), or license rescues

Potential series: Freezing

Noteworthy shounen that released during the Era of the "Big 3"

No. 64 is Marugoshi Deka by Ken Kitashiba & Michio Watanabe, which started in 1986 with 75 volumes & 395 in Weekly Manga Sunday Jiysugyo no Nihon Sha.

No. 80 is Jingi by Ayumi Tachihara, but it doesn't have the amount of volumes or release date it says in Young Champion Akita Shoten.

No. 81 is Direful Industrial Volleyboys is Hiroyuki Murada, which started in 1989 with 67 volumes & 711 chapters in Weekly Young Magazine Kodansha.

Mangas with dogs!!!
Even though they aren't the main characters, dogs never fail to fill the readers with serotonin whenever they make an appearance!

By each manga, I have listed the dog's name and when they first show up! :)

These will make you laugh super bad. 100% guarantee it.

EDIT: Removed "Hunter x Hunter" since it is not listed in Jump's lineup anymore.

EDIT: Re-added "Chainsaw Man", "Hunter x Hunter", and other series that have left the magazine, since they count as part of its history.

What is the first thing you think about, when you think of Japan?
Samurai !!

In this stack I’ve listed all the samurai manga that I’ve read so far. Some are philosophical, some are childish, some are dark and some are pure action.

It’s a mixed bag. But they all revolve around samurai.

Part one: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/6924

(Copy paste from part one) Manga that're strange, confusing, ridiculous, seem surreal, are overly silly, where the abnormal is normal, are very high paced, or may simply make you go "what?". Anything ranging from gag comedy to gore, all with various levels and types of absurdity.

Maximum of one title per author (including part one).

Jump Ultimate Stars is a fighting video game developed by Ganbarion and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo DS. It is the sequel to Jump Super Stars. The game was released in Japan on November 23, 2006.

The game keeps many features from its predecessor, and adds many more. The game boasts 305 characters (56 of which are fully playable) from 41 different Shōnen manga series.

This list is derived from The Anime Man's "The OFFICIAL Top 100 Manga Of All Time (According To The Internet) Is Actually Surprising..." video. The video goes over the results of an online poll that he created in which people could vote for their favorite manga series.

The poll, taken in 2018, garnered over 160,000 votes from the international anime community. This is a complete list of the results along with the total vote count for each series. The list is in descending order, meaning the manga with the most votes come first.

Some entries are omitted because they don't have a MAL page. This is usually because they're web comics or made outside of Japan. Those omitted entries are listed here:
#22: I Love Yoo (1,338 Votes)
#46: unOrdinary (717 Votes)

Note: In the video, Joey accidentally counts all votes for Seven Deadly Sins and THE Seven Deadly Sins separately, meaning that there are technically 99 manga in this list. In the true list, Seven Deadly Sins would've been #13 with 1,795 votes. However, I've kept it in it's original position for the sake of being consistent with the video. THE Seven Deadly Sins garnered 271 votes, tying it with #89 (Aku no Hana), hence why there is no #90 on this list.
