Manga series that have not had a new release in 3 years, but don't yet have the "On Hiatus" status on MAL. (WIP)

Mangas featuring otakus as main characters

Waalex11's Recommendations of Publishing Manga.

... My personal list of critically great publishing manga that are worth reading.

Also includes titles where the licencing wasn't cancelled oficially but no new volume has been released in English for years despite existing in the original language, and cases when the publisher went defunct before completing the series. Novels/manhwa/manhua etc. count too.


Let me know if there is some update to any of the titles listed or if some needs to be added.

Also this is a personal call-out for Dark Horse, pick up your damn manga.

Part 2 - https://myanimelist.net/stacks/35027

I'm surprised that MAL doesn't have a way to search for 4 komas, so here's a stack of them. If I'm mistaken on one of them, make sure to let me know!

My favorite ones are the "Eddy-likes" (from "Ed, Edd & Eddy") AKA the ones that keeps pushing their luck and takes the punches because they can.

Warning: They're not all slice of life.

Oldish manga featuring characters that evoke the 萌え (moe) reaction as per the standards in the early-to-late 2000's, when the so-called moe phenomenon was at its peak in Japanese wota-culture. The titles I've listed here vary greatly in terms of genre, subject matter, and popularity, but they all hold the moe factor in common (in my opinion, anyways.) Some of the popular titles have resurfaced here in the Western side in recent years as part of an internet-born aesthetic known most commonly as "animecore."

*I've only listed manga here. Some of these series originate as light novels, or their light novel counterparts predate the manga (if they're based on anime or games, for example.) In the case of multiple manga adaptations, I've only included the earliest published title.

**If you're not familiar with the concept of "moe" or would like to learn more about it, I also recommend reading these great books on it:

Some very very long running series. These Mangakas are truly amazing

Manga with one or more unicode symbols in the title. Useful for the related entry in the yearly MRC challenges. If you can't find it on your keyboard keys, this is the stack that aims to please.

For the badge-based item entries in the yearly Manga Reading Challenge. As there is an entire decade's worth of MRC events with a myriad of badges provided by various talented artists, this will be a multipart stack. All series are marked with their respective first badge year.

Note: If you don't see a title from a specific badge in a given year here, it's either in a previous part or I failed to find the source for it. My apologies if it's the latter.
