Critics & Connoisseurs was a club that was founded in 2008 and ended club activities on the 31st of 2022.

The goal of the club was to come up with a list of highly recommended quality shows and manga that are exemplary either within its genre or universally. A manga needed a 70% approval rate in our voting to get on the relation list. The following manga are all part of said list.
Do note that our club's main focus always was anime, our club's readership was relatively low which results in a lot of manga not being able to reach enough votes to get on the relation list despite having a 70% or higher approval rate.

Tragedy is a genre of drama based on human suffering and, mainly, the terrible or sorrowful events that befall a main character. In these manga, the Protagonist experiences trauma from war or apocalyptic-like scenarios. These deal with realistic portrayals of the mental and physical effects war has left many lives with...

(not just manga but I don't want to bog down the title)

some of them are BL or yuri. some of them just have random gay side characters. sometimes. the random side character is trans. if you are insane like me, you will read the whole thing just for that one queer character.

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. 147 would be the Himitsu Series of books. It's for children and I can't find it on MAL. It has 116 volumes and started in 1972, and has sold 23 million (June 10th, 2018).

List of sleeves for "elitist". These manga have been considered as "deep" animations by various critics and analysts.

In this compilation there are manga with quite complicated stories that are not recommended for all audiences. As they are: cult manga, artistic, experimental, avant-garde, underrated, psychological, philosophical, unique or mind-blowing.

I have ordered this list in release order.

Manservice delivered on a Silver Platter. This list contains queer male-oriented representation, ordered by how I rate the manga in general. Some of the content is straight-up Bara while other entries merely have great manservice or gay representation.

I'm trying to make a comprehensive list of all Manga and Manhwa that was translated into Swedish. In this part so have I listed the manga that never got a complete translation into Swedish.

Sorted by newest to oldest.

Serves no purpose teehee just wanted to get the word of the FLCL Light Novel out there. Don't know why this phenomenon happens. Typically anime sells better than manga I would think, but hey why not make a little bit more money right?

FEMME FATALE
Psycho, controlling, badass and smart women vs. confused young naive boy

Shuuzou Oshimi works, Tatsuki Fujimoto works, dark romances, some comedies and so on.



In other works:
-Ichise x Eriko Kaneda (Texhnolyze)

All of these stories center around a main character with depression.

It is revealed or majorly hinted that they have depression within the first few chapters.

Important note: Not all of these focus specifically on depression, but it is almost always a major component of the main character's development.

12/4/22: Added more

Cyberpunk, Sci-Fi, Dystopia & Post-Apocalyptic mangas.

Stories that are melancholic and sad, but have a hopeful outlook at the same time
This is my favourite tone of story, so any recommendations to add in are very much welcome!

Manga featuring children with a seemingly innocent or light-hearted premise/start that isn't what it seems.

-Manga that breaks people.
-Manga that will make you feel empty rather than making you cry.

Good luck reading them.

Manga that explore loneliness/solitude in significant capacity. This includes social isolation, literal isolation, and so on!

I only count the editorials that stills publishing to this day: IVREA, Panini Manga, Ovnipress, Kemuri, Utopia, Distrito Manga and Pop Fiction.
