Manga and light novels set in Okinawa or related to it in some way.



//If you know any manga that it's not on this stack, do tell me!//

Manga challenge featuring a manga for every letter of the alphabet. All are completed and 7 volumes max. so have fun and expand your reading list in some unexpected ways.
Disclaimer 1: We had no idea of the content of these manga before picking them, proceed with caution.
Disclaimer 2: MAL has changed several names from their alphabet original. They are in their original place on the list. Tsuki-Teki Aijin was previously Lunatic Lovers. Kanojo-tachi no X-Day was originally just X-day.

This stack is for any manga (or other comic) that contains a recurring and important plotline revolving around water.

This can range from stories about the ocean, to stories about watersports, to stories about underwater exploration, to stories about aquariums, to fantastical tales of mythical creatures: all are welcome here!

Note: I often edit my lists, so don't be surprised if you come back to find some new titles!

Dark skinned female protagonists/significant main characters (gyarus included!). Largely curated for my own point of reference; you will see mainstream works, but I am trying to focus on lesser-known titles.

Tags: gyaru, ganguro, gal, tan, south asian, south-east asian, african, black, south american, latin american, pacific islander, female lead, FL, dark skin, tanned skin, brown, foreigner, foreign, dark elf

Completed manga which have no completed English translation or scanlation.
Manga with active or upcoming translation projects (Updated in the past year) are not included.
Please tell me if information in this list in inaccurate!

Yo besties, I've been having a challenge of reading short manga.
so I thought of creating interest stacks for this challenge.
Some of the manga I've listed in the challenge aren't in MAL so I will list them in the description.
Each set (currently there are 15, and it continues) has 49 entries, and the manga vary in genres and popularity.
All of the manga are 1-5 volumes long, and I would love to see other people participating in this challenge!
(All of these should be scanlated, except for a few)

Manga in this set not listed in MAL:
Ai Naki Sabaku


Next set: (TBA)
Previous Set: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/34769

This stack is for any manga, manwha or manhua that primarily revolves around the sport of swimming, surfing, diving, other water sports, or scuba diving.

Note: I did not add any overly explicit titles, or titles I could not find much information on.

Here are some titles that I would have liked to add, but are not on the MAL database:
- Huo Hai by Djade & KRE
- Flying Fish by moyifei
- Neap Tide by Jeong Gi rim & Oh Eun ji
- Salieri & Mozart by Kim Soo Oh & Kibap
- Azure 50 Meters by FanFan Comic & Neo Cat & Vanilla Hide Rain
- Latent Blue by ceci

Manga/Manhwa where there are central non-romantic relationship(s), ie friends, teacher-student, something in between etc but not family/found family, I have a different stack for that

Some of these may have romance as well but it's not between the main characters and/or it's a subplot that often doesn't result in the characters actually getting together

Not on MAL:
-Susu, Han: About a pair of estranged siblings reconnecting, and their group of friends. Good comedy and drama.
-The Competition: About a violin competition, has friendships and sibling relationships. Good drama.
-The Wolf and Little Red Riding Hood: A group of outcasts become friends. Great comedy.
-Our Time: Adorable friendship between a boy who can stop time and a girl who can only be free from her coma in his stopped time.

Not on MAL:
-If I were you
-Kingdom of queen

Manga in which the premise is heavily linked to the ocean or seaside.
Expect summer vibes in Okinawa!
