“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

Manga with tactical fights/strategic battles that are not determined by strength or numbers but how they use what they have available to them, using their knowledge/cunning to outsmart their opponent, exploiting weakness, planning beforehand or quick thinking in the heat of battle and using what's in their immediate surroundings to their advantage.

Not all included manga are at the same level when it comes to tactical fights/strategic battles and while the majority of fights are tactical and the battles strategic there are some that are not.

Manga with a militant vibe

Mangas that discuss the subject of diplomatic and political developpement of a state.

Some interesting manga centered around (or set in the backdrop of) war between nations in and around (an analogous version of) the modern era, with a slight emphasis towards the late modern period and beyond. I'll try my best to include a good amount of variety of locations / settings.

I curated this list based on the amount of discourse each of these stories presents about the historical context of a war, or makes considerable effort to deliver storylines that depict war strategies or the lives of combatants or an explanation of national politics.

I will try not including sequels, prequels, or spin-offs in this list, unless they are significantly different in nature to the original, in an effort to avoid repetition or bias towards any particular stories.

Sorted in alphabetical order.

A collection of isekai or reincarnated manga that have unique twists to the genre. If you are going to do isekai at least make it interesting.

This is a stack of Manga about Overpowered Female MCs.

The Manga in this stack all revolve around a Female Protagonist who is Overpowered, usually from the start of the Manga.

If you've enjoyed any Manga from this stack, feel free to check out these stacks:

And
'Unadapted Fantasy Manga with an OP MC (No Isekai)'

Just as it says in the title, the comic's main focus is war. The worldbuilding should also be expansive. Has a hint of kingdom-building too.

I really love Isekai genre, but nowadays most of it is filled with overused tropes. This stack is a collection of unique and uncommon Isekai and/or fantasy genres.

If you're looking for manhwa or manga with a villain protagonist or an anti-hero as the main character, you might enjoy the following titles.
