Cyberpunk is a subgenre of science fiction in a dystopian futuristic setting that tends to focus on a "combination of lowlife and high tech", featuring futuristic technological and scientific achievements, such as artificial intelligence and cybernetics, juxtaposed with societal collapse or decay.

If you know of any more, please do let me know.

The term "denpa" means electromagnetic wave and is used to refer to people whit strange beliefs or delusions. In manga, the denpa genre often includes motifs of technology, character's who are outsiders in mundane environments, and a surrealistic, but often dark, tone. Common themes include dissconecton from one's surroundings, anxiety, and paranoia. Many denpa stories fall into the horror genre, but a manga doesn't have to be scary or depressing to be denpa.
The denpa genre is very popular when it comes to visual novels, some notable ones being Saya No Uta, Wonderful Everyday, and YOU AND ME AND HER.
(More manga and LN's will be added soon! Feel free to send some rec's that you think could fit whit this list!)

Manga that star powerful/perverted/crazy main female characters. Most are all into the action/comedy/horror genre. This stack will not have a female MC obsessed with a male. Just crazy girlboss failures living their best lives.❤

Deep in the darkness of the mind

manga that holds some mystery, grace, beauty, and/or surrealism.

in the vein of both my anime interest stack 'hauntingly gorgeous' and my manga interest stack 'ephemerality' (where they might not quite fit in).

be warned, this list can include more bizarre and subversive works.

A collection of fairly short dark and depressing manga, that you'll be able to finish in one sitting.

The manga listed here contains sensitive topics that may be triggering for some people. So I would suggest reading a quick synopsis of the manga you're interested in first before reading.

(This Stack is still a work in progress.)

Stories that fall under the denpa subgenre or close to it

Manga that I found to deal primarily in esoteric themes, some more, some less, some might be a stretch and some might be evident.

These do not necessarily center around things of esoteric nature, but the manga themselves are esoteric in nature.
