The Kodansha Manga Award (講談社漫画賞, Koudansha Manga Shou) is an annual award for serialized manga published in the previous year, the event is sponsored by the publisher Kodansha. It is currently awarded in three categories: shounen, shoujo, and general. The awards began in 1977, initially with categories for shounen and shoujo. The first award for the general category was in 1982, and the first children's category's award was in 2003. The children's category was merged into the shounen and shoujo categories starting in 2015.

More or less short manga reads in my PTR

Number of sales and date that number was acquired from in notes for each. Some of them I have personally estimated a higher figure than the date says.

No. 162 would be Nippon no Rekishi. It's for children and I can't find it on MAL. It has 24 volumes and started in 1981, and has sold 20.2 million (March 19th, 2020).

No. 165 would be Cuffs - Kizu Darake no Chizu by Jin Tojo, and has sold 20 million (February 14th, 2022).

No. 183 would be The Tale of Genji by Waki Yamato. Couldn't find exactly which one it was she made, and has sold 20 million (May 1st, 2021).

Great mangas for everyone from different genres and years.

Mix of both Delinquent or Yakuza Mangas that i have enjoyed some better then others

Manga that I believe are highly underrated and deserve more attention.

Usage of (different types of) guns in these manga is pretty common.

Comedy contrasting a skillful or dangerous person with everyday life

While it might look like you don't really need to know all of this, you never know when it will be useful: for instance with quizzes, random questions that you wouldn't know the answer to otherwise, fun facts to tell someone else, or if there's trouble or necessity of intervention in your vicinity.

When this stack gets full, I'll make #2 with the links in both descriptions, no manga in here will be swapped out (or in).

(Also thanks to stelllan, need to add Baki and Akagi later)

Series that feature assassins, hitman, etc.

Part 3 => https://myanimelist.net/stacks/47862

These are unique or extremely good manga in their own aspect! All these manga and manhwa are or were listed in the club relations, and I personally have made a 150-400 word defense (the first one being an exception) for each of them, you can find the thread in the club discussions, or you can go straight there with this URL:
https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=2017676

These are listed in order of the thread, with the first one (Kyuujitsu no Warumono-san) being written the first, its defense written May 21st of 2022.

Manga removed from the club this far:
The Fable
The Boxer

Manga with exceptionally good artwork, not something that's the same boring black and white generic faces/body types. But instead manga that takes its artwork seriously, the artist knows how to create a scene, give each character unique appearances.

All of these are extraordinary, impactful, enjoyable or just a crazy read

*Will keep adding*
*Also have not real all of them regardless still W manga to read*

Part 1 : https://myanimelist.net/stacks/15026

Must-read manga mostly demographed as Seinen but also contains other good mangas that are not published in any Seinen magazine but are definitely suited for an older/adult audience.

All these mangas are a good read in my opinion, ofcourse this includes ones that I consider top-tier and personal favorites but the others - if not amazing, are definitely worth reading at least once.

Slice of life manga involving things like death, suicide, murder, depression, anxiety, paranoia, racism, survival, dark secrets(ex.cloning), loss/decline in/of civilisation etc.

I've included the fable and Kizudarake no Jinsei which aren't labelled as slice of life but they lie somewhere between gritty crime drama and a slice of life story.

*This is my opinion*

the best I've read and the only ones I can really deem with the 10 - masterpiece score

I've only used this rating when reading something that I truly thought was unique or truly a masterpiece so please enjoy

these will be the most emotionally provoking, artistically beautiful, and the ones that are simply a cut above the others

--This will be updated as I discover more manga that i feel deserves a spot on my list--
