(Ignore my ratings, you should dictate the enjoyment yourself)

What definitely makes manga great would be that it goes over a broad range of themes/topics. Manga isn't afraid of addressing taboo topics, nor does it avoid concepts that most other entertainment mediums WOULDN'T DARE to touch. They also provide an imaginative exploration of how the Japanese perceive these topics. We rarely get cultural perspectives on certain topics.
-
Includes topics that are rare in animanga compared to other mediums.

I love reading tragic and twisted romance. So I made this stack for myself and also for the people who enjoy reading them. Hope you'll be able to find something new through this stack ^^


I have a stack for "Short Psychological Manga" if anyone is interested 
Here's the link:

Psychological Manga Collection Part (1)

https://myanimelist.net/stacks/7732

don't expect (all) of them to blow your mind, make you rethink your whole life, or anything like that; some may just make you go "oh, i haven't thought about it that way before!" it's just as simple as that.

also, not necessarily every chapter of each manga was something to meditate on. so don't expect about that either.

also!! "thought-provoking" does not necessarily equal "philosophy".

also, (ah, i'm getting tired of this word), all of those manga have under 15k members, hence why i call them "hidden gems"

All of these manga must have EITHER:
-- A plot that is virtually unheard of
-- A major theme that is rarely explored
-- Or a very unique execution of an uncommon plot.

And they have to be good!


* Plots/themes are listed! No spoilers. Use list view.

To have an easier view on the manga relations of the club, here's the fourth stack of manga, from O to S.

!! Almost all of the manga in this stack were moved to the 5th stack (except Sousei no Taiga - Super Doctor K).

The four other stacks are:
1-E: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/344
F-Ko: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/349
Ku-N: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/357
T-Z: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/22247

+++
First manga in the stack has been changed to Ojisan wa Kawaii Mono ga Osuki. instead of Olimpos (Feb 18)

A grave undertaking.

Happy Halloween.

The psychological genre is one that has boundless freedom in exploring it's themes, since the topic of human psyche, our behaviour and mind's patterns are something far too personal and individual.

The works that are part of this genre are conceived to kindle their reader's contemplation - about themselves, of the world presented in the story, as well as our own, and how shockingly similar or different they appear to be.

As well as that, this genre is usually focused on exploring two general types of personalities - ones that are seeking their true self, their place in this world and the significance and worth of their existence. The other usual psychological profile is one that is already established, presenting us an image that starts to crumble bit by bit, their core values degrade and all they're left with is a husk of their former selves, devoid of emotion, empathy or will to exist.

Besides the psychological portraits, the reader can find a lot of abstract concepts and subtle symbolism, which enhances the experience. Often times the art can be radical, provocative and avant-garde, or nuanced and subdued, but in all of these works, it does strives to accomplish one thing - to provoke us to think outside the box, to present us worlds or people that are inherently broken, but which has their importance and meaning, and which are not afraid to challenge our currently established worldviews.

First part of the list of manga which got an official Czech translation/got published in Czech. Either coming out or finished, doesn't include manga that has been announced but hasn't come out yet. Because MAL allows only 50 titles into an interest stack max, this list is split up into two parts.

První část seznamu všech mang, které vyšly oficiálně v češtině. Obsahuje jen mangy, které se vydávají/vydaly, ne ty, které mají vyjít.
Jelikož MAL povoluje jen 50 mang do jednoho interest stacku, seznam je rozdělen do dvou částí.

Veselé čtení!

Manga/manhwa/manhua/webtoon about fashion, theatre, music spiced up with lots of drama, toxic rs (guilty pleasure) and beautiful edgy art

If you want to read manga and/or manhwa that are about people's past using flashbacks, most of them are emotional and smoothly written.

Will be updated in due time.

Josei means a comic published in a magazine targeted towards the mature female demographic in Japan.
