Okay so my favorite niche sub-genre of manga is the ones where the cast has to kill each other or participate in some sort of sick and sadistic game. I have read most of these, but it is my favorite so I figured I should share with the world, enjoy!

Manga that're strange, confusing, ridiculous, seem surreal, are overly silly, where the abnormal is normal, are very high paced, or may simply make you go "what?". Anything ranging from gag comedy to gore, all with various levels and types of absurdity.

Maximum of one title per author.

Japan has had quite a fascination with Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland novels, such that allusions to the work, its characters and plot, appear in various anime & manga series time and again. This stack collects series that are quite overtly based on the work. Quite a few are based on Quinrose's Alice-inspired visual novels.

Quinrose series cut due to space:
Heart no Kuni no Alice: Wonderful Wonder World & Wonderful Twin World series,
Diamond no Kuni no Alice: Black or Sweets,
Joker no Kuni no Alice: Mayonaka ni Ochiru Yume,
Renai Otogibanashi series

All manga that fit the "Death Game" criteria. You can also look for the anime version.

Dear Gothic Lolita lover

This manga is about Gothic world and clothes.
Frills, lace, ribbons🎀,rose…Gothic and Lolita adorned with opulent decorations.

Girls wearing such Gothic Lolita are cute! Don't you think? Sometimes they are cool! Don't you think?

These series take inspiration from &/or are based on different folktales, folklore, &/or fairytales from all around the world.

ps.: I made a version of this but anime for research purposes

Part 2 of the shoujo/josei mystery stacks still at wip but feel free 2 let me know if there's anything to be considered being added.

Most of these are gonna be Alice-inspired because that's what I tend to like... and some of them are more folktales than fairytales... but like, same difference.

Pessimistic worldviews. For when you want to wallow in despair.

It doesn't matter if we all die.

PM for more suggestions.
