Keeping your feelings for the manga aside, you KNOW that people will like it.....IF ONLY they checked it out once! because you think one or more of these:
- the story/plot is amazing and can interest the general audience
- the feels is great and can interest the general audience
- people who like that particular genre would love it!
- it could actually do good if it got an anime adaption (popularity and/or business-wise)
- you cannot handle having knowledge of this manga alone and you HAVE TO LET THE WORLD KNOW that you have found a gem (or a really shiny rock) and you HAVE TO discuss this with another human 'cause your cat is just ignoring you now

These are the ones I found

Akumetsu


Zennou no Noa - The World of lost memories


Ansatsu Kyoushitsu was one of them back when I first found it.
Kept it on-hold for 5 minutes and when I'm back, it's anime's got seasons and everything =D

So here's an awesome Oneshot Manhwa Myum-Myum

(MAL database has really little Manhwas and Manhuas)

Do recommend the ones you know

For me, that'd be Saihate no Ao. I actually haven't read any of it since about ch3 because I just... I got really busy, and because it's not constantly being talked about it got put on the back burner. I really enjoyed what I did read, though, and the art was pretty good. The plot had real promise. Thanks for reminding me to check back in on it, actually.

Chichikogusa! It's a great manga that caters to a general audience across all ages.
It's sad, cute, and really heartwarming!

Guru Pon-chan is cute,funny manga that can be enjoyed by dog lovers or just animal lovers in general.

For more animal manga, I like FANG, Yamato, and White Lotus by Yoshishiro Takahashi but they aren't as well known as his Ginga series.

Other animal manga that look interesting, but I haven't read yet or had to stop reading cause the scanlators stopped are Wild Half and Inugami.

I think any one who likes dog or animals would like those manga and I wish more people would read them and someone would pick up on the Wild Half translations and translate FANG, Yamato, and White Lotus.

For yuri, anything by Mira is great, but her stuff is more hentai, though it does have stories with it and some are really interesting, like Crimson Fantasy and Indigo Mermaids that are about supernatural creatures and mermaids respectively.

Not sure if this counts, but Peach Fuzz is a cute OEL manga about ferrets.

Nice, i read Akumetsu before and i really like the story. Also for now, i accidentaly read

-Yakusoku no Neverland.
-Kenja No Mago


^ My fave mangas atm but at usual nobody want to read it.
Both mangas has few chapters since it was new but it has good story line specially Yakusoku no Neverland. Every chapter was very exciting. Hope they will consider to read it specially my friends in real world.

Ahiru No Sora( (Basketball Sport), This series is for me is a masterpiece and can be equal to its predecessor Slam Dunk. Comedy, Characters and the realistic of its in delivering the Story is just so good.

I hated the fact that Kuroko no Basuke is more popular from this one, i mean look at Kuroko no Basuke unrealistic story like the dude has skills like you are in a shounen adventury manga. Be real, you cant be invisibile on 5 vs 5 sport especially in basketball where the strategy is usually one guy guarding one guy. I hated the fact that no scanlatation team would pick up the rest of its volume (currently translated 16 volume out of 45). I hate it so much that this gem is not popular in manga community.

I haven't read this in years. There was one particular twist that surprised the hell out of me (I'm sure you know what I'm talking about).

Shimanami Tasogore. It's rated 8.56 on MAL but only has like 400 members.

The main character is gay, but this is not a yaoi/shounen-ai manga. Rather, it's a manga that tackles the struggles of being queer/LGBT in Japan and it does so in a non-stereotypical way. There's not many manga that deals with this sort of stuff and none of the few are written as beautifully as Shimanami Tasogore.
It only has 10 chapters but I'm already loving it. I'm sure there's more to come.

ALSO:
Kasane
This manga has a very original plot. In fact, I've never seen anything like it. I won't spoil the plot, but reading the first volume instantly gives you the idea of how unique and how much potential this manga has. Unfortunately, it only has 1000 members.

Nekogahara is, so far, an awesome samurai story and the MC is a badass. The characters are cats, not humans so that's an interesting twist. It is made by the guy who created Shaman King.

Cells At Work is entertaining while also being informative.

Holy Corpse Rising is a supernatural story involving witches.

It's got 15,000 members here on MAL. Don't think it really qualifies as being unheard of.

also check out stuff by Igarashi Daisuke or Matsumoto Taiyou. The latter wrote Ping Pong and Tekkonkinkreet which were turned into pretty great anime.

This manga is so unknown in the west that it's killing me. Simply one of the best, if not the best gambling manga out there.
