A selection of titles from the gekiga scene, a short-lived yet influential artistic movement that flourished during the 1960s to the 1970s and maintains a prominent underground presence today. While mostly known as a pioneer of cinematic paneling and close attention to realism, it would be more accurate to consider gekiga as a counterculture. Surrealistic, autobiographical, and experimental works emerged as an alternative to the Tezuka school of aesthetics and paved the way for other artists to different modes of expression.

This is in NO WAY a comprehensive list and should be treated more as a starting point for diving into this movement. There are so many more important artists and titles in the scene that MAL unfortunately does not have entries for, and probably never will. Since I can't speak Japanese, there may also be some titles that I am unfamiliar with. The 50-title limit doesn't help either, but I hope this gets you started in this often-unexplored side of manga.

Note: Not all of these titles are available in English.
11/04/2022 Updated to include more underground artists.

Another manga challenge, this time themed around Magazines. We found short stories for magazines starting with each letter of the alphabet (except x since there is no magazine beginning with x, so we substituted a symbol instead). Each magazine is listed with the manga. Rules for picking:
- Short (maximum length 5 volumes)
- Complete
- No erotica
- None of us had read it before

Since none of us have read them, caution is advised with regards to content.

If you enjoy, consider checking out some of our other challenges!
