Hello Baby and Hungry Joker

They are both very short so you might as well give it a read

Hello Baby has really good art

Hungry Joker is a predecessor to Black Clover

63. Finlandia (short shoujo-styled romantic comedy about an exchange student living with and meeting an apprentice of Santa)
62. Tasogareboshi no Sui to Neri (cutesy post-apocalyptic slice of life comic about a girl living alongside anthromorphic animals)
61. Lotus Eaters (shorter stories centering around a barkeeper and the other eccentric characters of Gensokyo, a land hidden by magic from our world in Japan where youkai reside)
60. Ashizuri Suizokukan (young girl travels in an abstract world interacting with its creatures)
59. Melancholia (oneshot compilations by Dowman Sayman, perhaps somewhat loosely connected)

One common theme is that they're all short series, most one or two volumes long. I didn't finish Finlandia but I'd say all of them are decent at worst.

Don't have the time to scroll thru my whole list rn but I sometimes actively seek manga that don't have a MAL score yet (so less than 100 MAL users rated it) because finding gems and exceptional silent diamonds is a thrill I can't get enough of. Good ones also end up in my hidden gems club :)).

Pls don't write animeS or mangaS >.< // + <50 man(g/hw/hu)a not in MAL. // Join my >manga club< here!

The most obscure translated manga on my list is The Jackalope.

My PTR has a lot of untranslated titles. I think the most obscure may be Imuri, by the creator of Pet.

sayonara eri & mahou shoujo of the end

both very strange, sometimes unsettling, but very intriguing stories nonetheless.

Mimizuku and the King of Night and Mahiru no Polvorón are two great manga but only translated to French as far as I know. I own both of them physically.

The top 5 most obscure manga on my list according to my MAL statistic are all (as expected) 1-2 volumes shoujo manga from 2000-2005 that aren't translated in English. The top one is Yukinko!!

For something translated in English, it's probably Mienai Kimi e no Okurimono - again, a 1 volume shoujo.

I guess the bet is your loss... I have read "Youko Sasaki - Time Slip Ota Girl" on your list and I feel nostalgic or embarrassed when I read it.

I wonder if this is one of the few works that few people read, including the manga I registered myself...

Finally my time has come to shine. I deliberately pick up less known stories. Because whenever I do so I feel it is something exclusive to me, that I discovered it first. And there is a chance that I get to like some of them. So it is kind of a gambling I like to do its just that there is no harm in it.

-Tohka is better than Kurumi. You can't change my mind.

@Lucifrost I wouldn't be opposed to it, Minish Cap was an enjoyable and easy read :)

Peepo Choo, bit exagerated but it's scary how accurate it is to being a young weeb in the 2000's, when one didn't know better.

Kero kero chime, having a little over 200 members, and nurse angel ririka, having almost 400 members. I own the full set for the two series and other than kodocha and trigun, they’re the most rare and valuable manga in my collection
Gee, it sure is boring around here

Probably Someday's Dreamers. I've never heard anyone talk about it, and despite the fact that the back of the first volume I own talks about the anime adaptation, I've never seen anything from it anywhere.

Death Hunter and Zenikko both from the 70s with a few hundred members each.

Plus Zo Zo Zo Zombie-kun and Himitsu Sentai Gorenger which both have official English translations but somehow have <500 members each.

And Juushin Liger and Number 7 which are unpopular manga by popular mangaka.

High Card: ♢9 No Mercy and White Note Pad. While not absurdly obscure, both have less than 1000 members.
