Hey there! I'm quite new to mangas, i only check for latest updates on local manga sites randomly. But, i'm curious, is there any manga that is underrated/unpopular even though it is actually good? This is actually inspired by Anime that deserves more attention thread. Any recommendation is fine, just show me your list of manga you wished people talked more about. Sorry if my english is bad :( |

What kind of numbers are we talking about? Is it a few thousands or a few hundreds? https://myanimelist.net/manga/120415/Yankee_Juku_e_Iku this one only has 200 member yet it's good these ones are below 10000: https://myanimelist.net/manga/23685/Wolfsmund https://myanimelist.net/manga/14729/Coppelion https://myanimelist.net/manga/105541/Shokuryou_Jinrui https://myanimelist.net/manga/952/Blaster_Knuckle every baki manga every kaiji manga |

Also, is coppelion manga better than the anime? |

The characters just seem out of place with the thick outlines, flat colours paired with the picturesque background |

I can't seem to find the last three chapters online, do you know where to read it? Wolfsmund is a good historical manga. I'd like to read more of these kind of manga. Since, the only historical manga i've read other than this one is Vinland Saga. Any other recommendations similiar to this? Anyway, thanks for the recommendations. I'll be sure to read them all. |

Yankee isn't fully translated yet. When I started reading it there was like 25 chapters so they surely will finish the translation shortly. Historie is interesting but it has a vastly different style I also need to read more historical stuff. There's a bunch of them in my plan to read: https://myanimelist.net/manga/24637/Bestiarius https://myanimelist.net/manga/58563/Innocent https://myanimelist.net/manga/25855/Gunka_no_Baltzar These looked fairly interesting. Blaster Knucle and Green Blood are both kind of historical but from the western era. |

I'm really enjoying Kaiju Girl Caramelise, and it has less than 2000 members. https://myanimelist.net/manga/113210/Otome_Kaijuu_Caram%C3%A9liser C'mon, how many times do you see a shoujo (romance) where the girl transforms into godzilla when she gets embarrassed? I know it sounds stupid, but it really works (at least the chapters I read) as a way of showing the protagonist's introverted feelings. |

A good amount from my favorite list, mostly because they haven't been translated or licensed in english or you have to buy them. To name a few: Kidou Senshi Gundam: The Origin - the vertical is quite expensive, you can wait for comic walker to publish all the chapters. Kamigami no Itadaki - licensed but you have to buy it, you wouldn't found it on the internet Dousei Jidai - licensed in italian and french, i don't know if it's licensed in other countries. Pretty sure there isn't an english release. Takemitsuzamurai - you can find it translated online, it should be more popular. Good read. |

The only one that I know of that even remotely comes close is Togari. I was introduced to this manga during high school and ended up having to finish reading it through manga hosting sites. It's a pretty good read if you want a series about some dude wanting his shot at redemption. |

Hyakki Yakoushou. One of the best supernatural manga out there that's been going for a long time and virtually nobody knows about it. Hakumei to Mikochi. No idea how it's still so unknown, it's probably the best slice of life being published today along with Yotsuba. Great art, characters and a very soothing atmosphere. Definitely a good read for rainy days. Mikako-san. I don't know what to say about this one, it's just so different and bittersweet but it's not something that can be put into words. If you enjoy slice of life be sure to give it a read. Each chapter has only 4 pages, so it's nice to take your time with each one. Dasei 67 Percent. An adult slice of life manga about college kids goofing around. Pretty funny and entertaining. Wakusei Closet. Lovecraftian body horror with cute girls. Shadows House. A great full-coloured fantasy manga that's best if you just read for yourself without knowing anything beforehand. Suki na Ko ga Megane wo Wasureta. Cutesy romance about a nearsighted girl who always forgets her glasses. Violence Action. Exactly what the title suggests. Recommended if you like John Wick. |

Blaster Knuckle it's the story of an ex-boxer vigilante that travels the west beating the shit out of werewolfevampirethings and Klansman in equal measure It is one of the most badass things I've ever read and holy shit people need to read it It's also one of the few mangas that has a strong black character as the series protag |

https://myanimelist.net/manga/5454/Golden_Days really loved this manga, criminally underrated https://myanimelist.net/manga/16692/Suiiki by the author of mushishi, really good story and art, though its rather short https://myanimelist.net/manga/15104/Kingdom_Hearts__358_2_Days the manga for my favorite video game, in the franchise and in general. i liked the manga adaption, its more humorous than the series but they did the dramatic elements pretty well. https://myanimelist.net/manga/3916/Kiss liked all the classic piano references in this |

Yes! one of my top favorites, i havent Read it but i know the anime is a full/proper adaption. really beautiful work. good art/music/atmosphere and very interesting stories (its episodic) i'm sure the manga is just as good but i think the animation team did a really good job at making it stand out. If the synopsis or first chapter/episode doesnt interest you its just personal preference ya know, but i do recommend it. Tbh the Suiiki manga felt like an extended side story in the mushishi universe (more modern day though ) but its unrelated, reminded me of the vibes though. just the authors style i guess |

Coppelion is too hokey and naive. And for shokuryou... i really can't stand the mc. But thanks anyway, at least there are some good things about it. I actually kinda like Ibara, and she could have been a much better character if done right. Shokuryou has an outstanding art imo. It makes the story and pacing more tense and creepy. Unfortunately the story goes from bad to worse. Blaster Knuckle is great. Haven't seen much black mc these days. I like the way Freeman fights as a boxer. He barehandedly kills hundreds of demons, damn he's such a badass xD If it has more chapters it would've been great. But i guess i'm asking for too much. I wonder if the series got axed or anything.... the last chapter left with cliffhanger. Yankee Go Juku also left with a cliffhanger. There's a sequel of it though. But i don't think it'd be translated anytime soon. Baki and Kaiji has lots of chapters. But i'll take my time and read it, one day, perhaps x( I don't like gambling it wouldn't hurt to try. And baki looks quite interesting. I'll tell you when i've read both of them.

Cosmo Familia is good... but a bit lacking. tbh there a lot of yuri fanservice and it's great.... but i didn't like the characters.

Tbh, it was a bit confusing at first. Perhaps it was because I read the one shot before starting the series. But it gets better along the way. I didn't like Blame anime adaptation but this manga is good. Do you read appleseed and Dragonhead online? I can't seem to find a site to read it. |

It's a genuine hidden gem and a masterpiece. Also it's not a magical girl title this time lol |

@White_Hollow I think they're still up on kissmanga and mangatown or alternatively you could find some app to read it. Apps are deleted often from the stores so I can't really give you relevant ones. Yeah, maybe I made a mistake when I recommended Coppelion and Shokuryou. I was just throwing those up there to see if any of the stick. Glad you liked some of the ones I posted. |
