Psychological drama, occasionally known as dark drama or was related to psychodrama, is a sub-genre of drama that places emphasis on psychological elements. It often overlaps with other genres such as fantasy, black comedy, and science fiction, while the genre is closely related with the psychological horror and psychological thriller genres. Psychological dramas use these genres tropes to focus on the human condition and psychological effects, usually in a mature and serious tone.

Psychological drama explore thematic elements such as abandonment, coming-of-age problems, denialism, disability, distorted sequences, dysfunctional relationships, human sexuality, mental disorders, mood swings, odd behaviors, post-traumatic stress disorder, psychological abuse, psychedelic art, social issues, and other serious discussions that unlikely centers themes turn more focused on both issues of the character's life and reality.

I gathered mangas that you might think interesting if you are vegan or interested in veganism.

aka "don't let your kid read this alone" manga, or "why the F is this Shounen?" manga.
If you can't stand gore or dangerous/extreme mental body of thought, don't try these.

I have a stack with the opposite: Seinen with little gore:

At least one main character is a monster, a demon, an alien, a robot, a lovecraftian entity, a thoroughly animalistic demon, a straight up anthro, or whatever else there might be; merely 'humanoid' at best.

Actual kino. None of that boring mainstream bullshit for pseudointellectuals. Manga that you pick up, read, and think "that was fucking awesome/cute/silly/depressing".

(This title is obviously a joke enjoy what you enjoy this shit is just stuff that's stuck with me the hardest!)

Manservice delivered on a Silver Platter. This list contains queer male-oriented representation, ordered by how I rate the manga in general. Some of the content is straight-up Bara while other entries merely have great manservice or gay representation.

Coming-of-age refers to the process by which a child becomes an adult. These manga showcase characters who make the transition naturally, or are forced to grow due to outside pressures. Learning about one's self, about others, about the world, and what society requires from adults, are all common themes of coming-of-age works.

All of these manga must have EITHER:
-- A plot that is virtually unheard of
-- A major theme that is rarely explored
-- Or a very unique execution of an uncommon plot.

And they have to be good!
