A collection of amazing 1 volume manga that can be read in under 1 hour, for anyone wanting a quick but fulfilling read.

Growing up sucks lmao

One thing I've noticed over the years is the sheer amount of people that want recommendations based on a handful of titles that get the whole "being a teenager is physical and emotional hell" angle down pat. You know the ones, we've all been there.

The listed series all deal with the relationships between youths and their bodies, the bodies of others, and the difficulties of becoming an adult. I tried to select series that are more grounded, but ones that capture that same mood and themes will be considered as well.

Not for the faint hearted. These are manga series that will put your physical and emotional endurance to test.

Many stories, many art styles, many genres and demographics.

A list made for and from a manga lover, delve into the diverse and extensive world of manga

this list is growing as my readings, patience 🕴️

These lists don't just focus on whether or not a job is good, they focus on whether a job has value and is worth reading.

so there will be some that for a general public are very rare and others that can be very bad for you but I hope you can understand the value of each one 🕴️

obviously there is a standard, the idea is not to frustrate the reader or put worthless and boring stories

Finally, these lists are just a part of the vast and wonderful world that the Manga.

naoki urasawa's wonderful documentary program manben shows mangaka at work while they discuss their form and process with urasawa-sensei. this list includes one noteworthy series by each mangaka featured on the show.

an english fansub of the series can be found here (this is NOT urasawa-sensei's official website):

i will do my best to choose series' that can be read in their entirety in english, either officially or via scanlations. information can be found in the descriptions for each entry.

format:
mangaka ([season][episode])
common english title(s)
magazine

Just manga that are creepy af. Good writing is optional. DECENT writing is optional. The spook is all that matters.

Can be creepy in terms of visuals, atmosphere/tension, or content matter (e.g. dystopian, psychological horror, etc)

- I would have added all of Junji Ito's work but it would fill the entire stack so I only added a few~
- Includes a variety of: gore, blood, torture, body horror, monster, zombie, ghost/spirit, dementia, demon/devil, survival, survival games, & shock factor

AKA "I just turned 13 and think I'm mature"

This is the Masterson Stack. A list featuring chaotic manga. Or alternatively manga that is a little bit off. A treasure trove of madness.

Welcome to a world of Pessimistic joyrides, Existential terrors, Psychosexual nightmares, Nihilistic fever dreams & Surrealism with some comedy in the madness. I hope you enjoy your time here.

Most Frequently Featured Authors: Usumaru Furuya, Shuuzou Oshimi, Keiichi Koike & Tatsuki Fujimoto

This list was unlisted as it was deemed "Opinionated and not topical" when this is not true at all. Things can be on this list even if I don't personally enjoy them, I don't know if it was a bot or a person, but this was a false unlist. It just so happens I tend to like this type of stuff, but the list exists to have an accessible list of weird shit, not for me to talk about what I enjoy.

No longer using MAL, so the list here wont be updated anymore. I do however have a version of this list on my Anilist that i update, so go check that out if your'e interested.

A collection of works that emphasize children's innocence, naivety and vulnerability exposed to the harsh reality they find themselves in. Tragedy does not limit itself to death, but extends toward theme of emotional abuse, exploitation, psychological trauma, environmental conditioning and whatnot.

Caveats:

• Some entries contain explicit materials, including gore and sexual content.
• Manga formats vary from one-shot, anthology, short and full-length series.
• If there are suggestions, I'll include it in regardless of not having read yet.

Horror mangas that have 5 or less volumes.

If Patrick Bateman had a manga list, it would be this one!

Gintama? Ichi the Killer? Gantz? Bleach? GTO? Not today, ma'am

DEBATING WHICH SERIES I WANNA BINGE

These are the manga with the best art I have seen.

A list of manga titles that I think are fucked up in some way, be it in the psychological sense or in matters of gore/violence. Each title has its own set of trigger warnings, I suggest looking them up on mangaupdates for more detailed tags.

A collection of single-volume manga from various genres I've enjoyed and would recommend.
