Every manga that focuses on the delinquent life or similar (bosozoku also included). Note: Mangas that contains delinquents but aren't about delinquents won't be included, such as Slam Dunk, Yu Yu Hakusho and Beelzebub. I'll order by the ones I consider to be the most important to the genre. This is not a definitive list, I can and probably will be forgetting some mangas. Also, I won't put every single Crows/Worst side-story (because there is more than 15 so far).

Not including the old-fashioned bandit/proto-delinquent mangas such as Otoko Ippiki Gaki Daishou (Motomiya Hiroshi has several mangas like that), Gakuran Hachinegumi, Banchou Wakusei and Yuuyake Banchou.

If you haven't read any of these yet, I recommend Kiku and Bakuon Rettou as starters.

Some mangas are not available to read, but I put here hoping someone who reads japanese gets interested enough to start a project translanting the manga.

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).

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

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

Manga titles that are focused in the figure of a teacher and how he impacts or is impacted by his students. Please feel free to contact me on my profile comments about more titles I could add or if any of those that I added do not fall under the category I’m imposing.

Order is from ochd.co.uk, so it may not be alphabetical

Couldn't find Monmonmon, so i just substituted for Monster, sorry about that

Here is the Jump Manga from all the other decades:

- 1970's: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/39713
- 1980's: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/39714
- 2000's: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/37510
- 2010's: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/39694
- 2020's: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/39660

Regardless of the version you wanna try, you're not gonna regret the experience. If you don't know the manga version, I recommend watching the drama first. And if you liked it, just read the manga afterwards.
