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:

Japan's Shōwa era lasted from 1926 to 1989. In 2009, Asahi Shimbun announced a polled list of 50 of the greatest 'masterpieces(名作)' of the Shōwa era. The only one not listed on MAL yet is 'Iga no Kagemaru' by Mitsuteru Yokoyama, which was ranked 27th.

The end is near...

Humanities dreams of a delighfull Utopia are shattered, when natural disasters stricke our planet... but maybe it was war? Or even some monsters?
Is it here in the future of our world, or a mysterious alternative universe with magic?

The fascination with the unknown... beeing alone, or searching for one kind? From classical survival in the lost world to rather interesting scenarious... the Post apocalyptic world.

Psst! Shoutout to these entries who didnt made it into this list:
- Tsugumi Project (by Ippatu)

ABSOLUTELY Reeks of Testosterone.


I put the first 4 parts of JoJo because that's before Araki really changed his art style to make them more slim.

Characters experience trauma which results in a lash of violence or psychological abuse and revenge, will these characters succeed in their revenge or will they forever struggle...?

These manga have a great way of telling a horror story.
Characters can be killed off very suddenly, creepiness is sometimes through the roof, blood and guts can be seen frequently.

Not all of them have the Horror genre, but all of them can be felt as if it were.
Brace yourself if you're reading these, you're in for a ride!

For anyone interested in what graced the pages of the world's biggest manga magazine.

Link to part 2: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/5629

EDIT: Removed "Chainsaw Man" since it transferred to Shonen Jump+.

EDIT: Removed "Hunter x Hunter" since it is not listed in Jump's lineup anymore.

EDIT: Re-added "Chainsaw Man", "Hunter x Hunter", and other series that have left the magazine, since they count as part of its history.

EDIT: Added "Kochikame".
