“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:
'Unadapted Action Isekai Manga with an OP MC'
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.

Naze boku ga ONNANOKO NI NACCHAAAUUUUU!!!!!!????????


Rule:
- MC must be reincarnated as the opposite gender

Parody of my "A Cinematic History of the World" manga stack but with alternative historical manga instead. All manga are set within earth on within an objective time period or event (or lackthereof) from history. The changes in said events are irrelevant, but must adhere to fiction.

For example (if WWII never happened, or XYZ country won a war instead).

These will be in order, and always updating!
Gundamn and other mecha (excluding NGE) are strictly excluded from this list!

open to suggestions as it's not my strongest area of expertise!

Missing: Monstress

The reason I feel creeped out by isekai that feature soul transmigration/reincarnation or villainess stories: an Asian woman or man (less frequently) who inhabits the body of a European which I find very creepy, in the same way I find the movie 'Get Out' or the manga 'Inside Mari' creepy but no one seems to mind the isekai soul transmigration/
reincarnation/villainess genres because they're drawn and not live action?

It's especially creepy when middle aged Asian men get reincarnated into the bodies of European little girls (or boys) but they retain their memories and personality they had in their previous life.

For most of them I've only read the first chapter to confirm the premise.
