Critics & Connoisseurs was a club that was founded in 2008 and ended club activities on the 31st of 2022.

The goal of the club was to come up with a list of highly recommended quality shows and manga that are exemplary either within its genre or universally. A manga needed a 70% approval rate in our voting to get on the relation list. The following manga are all part of said list.
Do note that our club's main focus always was anime, our club's readership was relatively low which results in a lot of manga not being able to reach enough votes to get on the relation list despite having a 70% or higher approval rate.

Horror manga create an atmosphere of unease. Like Mystery manga, they encourage viewers to learn more about their world... but there may be secrets that are better left unexplored. Through eerie music and sounds, visceral or disturbing imagery, or startling moments, works of Horror make you worry about what gruesome thing is coming next.

This subgenre of horror intentionally focuses on grotesque or psychologically disturbing violations of the body. From disease to dismemberment the core of it is what can happen to the human body. It is not unusual for this to also include sexual, alien infestation, strange movements, transformations, and utter destruction of the human body, However I will try to save some of those manga for Ero-Guro

>More of my manga recs are in my profile! Comment what u are after an I can make some more!

When people try to explain why they love a manga so much, you might find the usual "I love the characters", "really like the art", "world building!!". Which, by no means is a bad thing, but an element of manga that is not very commonly talked about it panelling. It's very easy to confuse composition and panelling, but hopefully this list will help you experience the true beauty of how important panel structure is to maintain consistent flow whilst reading!

Panelling, Composition, Art and Negative Space are all taken into consideration when adding to this list. Enjoy!!

Tragedy is a genre of drama based on human suffering and, mainly, the terrible or sorrowful events that befall a main character. In these manga, the Protagonist experiences trauma from war or apocalyptic-like scenarios. These deal with realistic portrayals of the mental and physical effects war has left many lives with as well as those whom are ripped from their lives and may never return again...

Manga that can get an Adaptation or a Sequel that haven't got announced yet.

PLS!! I could die happy if Oshi no Ko is getting an Anime adaptation.

Update:
Yay. It's official.


These extra manga has reasons:

*Suki na Ko ga Megane wo Wasureta is a Takagi killer and will take over.
*Act-Age could've adapted by now but the Author f**ked it up.
*Ao no Flag is interesting, but I see the reason why they haven't done anything yet.
*Masamune-kun no Revenge is getting the Final Half. Thank God.
*Takopii no Genzai is too dark.

[Im done updating]

(not just manga but I don't want to bog down the title)

some of them are BL or yuri. some of them just have random gay side characters. sometimes. the random side character is trans. if you are insane like me, you will read the whole thing just for that one queer character.

- No Fully Gag or iyashikei Manga
- I Will Allow a few others of those series if there is dramatic scenes in them even if its sparse.
- There can be male protagonists in the series, but at least 75% of the manga has to revolve around the Female Lead.
- I Will also not include SOME harem/romance manga, but only some, a bit abitary but again dont wanna conflate the list
- I May count genderbent manga

Worldbuilding - "the process of constructing a world, originally an imaginary one, sometimes associated with a fictional universe." These kinds of manga are usually set in a fantasy and/or sci-fi world, and excel at establishing & showcasing the rules/history/economy of their fictional universe. List was created through collective data from multiple websites of people's answers as to what manga are considered to have great world building.

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.

The Masked Man is an American YouTuber who makes videos primarily about manga, but also anime, and very occasionally video games. He does in-depth analysis on the subjects he talks about. Here is his top 50 manga.

NOTE:-
"Fata Morgana no Yakata: Anata no Hitomi wo Tozasu Monogatari" is not manga, its a Visual Novel.(https://vndb.org/v12402)
Consider this list from Beserk to OPM to be the actual manga list.

Mangas I think do a great job in making their unique worlds feel alive and lived in by other characters. The world/environment has it's own intriguing tales in a sense and influences the characters' opinions and later on choices somewhat. :D
