Tatsuki fujimoto is known worldwide for being the author of chainsaw man and fire punch, but only a few know about his one-shots, which usually focus mostly on drama, being a good read for those who want to cry a river or just appreciate his intimate and often gloomy worldview, with a singular humor that only Fujimoto have.

Mangas that have that "little dark age" vibe, the world is cruel, creepy, beatiful or kinda melancholic

Mangas that sumarize the year of 2022.

The lesser known, and less successful, works of famous mangaka.

A collection of single-volume manga from various genres I've enjoyed and would recommend.

Actually this is my favorite manga series list. MAL rules don't allow personal lists

My top picks. Use list view, to see pros and cons for each entry.

A good starting list to cover all bases, or challenge yourself.

Highly-detailed. Simplistic. Dreamlike and magical. Realistic. Heavily stylized. Bold lines. Sketchy lines. Effective shading and highlights. Panels structured for dynamic visual storytelling that make full use of their medium rather than putting box after box in front of you because it is "just a comic".

What makes up "good art" is subjective. Regardless, some manga have a certain quality to their visuals that sets them apart from others.

The below selections contain different types of art and composition, but each of them makes the best use of it for the story they want to tell.

Every manga covered by the Mangasplaining podcast in Season 4.

These are some of the mangas suggested by the youtube channel Kito Senpai. I made the forum as I take some of my manga suggestions from this channel and they are pretty much good.

If some of the mangas are not present here, I may have either forgot to add them or were mentioned on a later date and I have not updated the list.

These are just a few examples, but there are many other mangas that offer profound reflections on life. Each of these titles has a unique approach and can provide readers with different perspectives and insights.

Mangas from different genres and demographies that will most likely leave a mark on you. Rich stories with strong characters and themes, sometimes uplifting, sometimes tragic, but stories worth telling. Beware of the TWs, lots of the mangas presented here contain delicate subjects

"It's not a matter of good or evil; it's simply not possible to do it any other way."

Noir is characterized by such elements as cynical heroes, stark lighting effects, frequent use of flashbacks, intricate plots, and an underlying existentialist philosophy.

The isolation from society of the typical noir hero was underscored by the use of stark high-contrast lighting. Classic images of noir included rain-soaked streets in the early morning hours; street lamps with shimmering halos; flashing neon signs on seedy taverns, diners, and apartment buildings; and endless streams of cigarette smoke wafting in and out of shadows.

The inherent subjectivity of Expressionism is also evident in noir’s use of narration and flashback. An omniscient, metaphor-spouting narrator frequently clarifies a characteristically labyrinthine noir plot or offers a subjective, jaded point of view. Tension and suspense are increased by the use of all-knowing narrators and flashbacks, in that the audience is always cognizant of impending doom.

The heroes of noir generally share certain qualities, such as moral ambiguity, a fatalistic outlook, and alienation from society. They also exhibit an existential acceptance of random, arbitrary occurrences as being the determining factors in life. Such compassionless pragmatism is found in the most noble, as well as the most tarnished, of noir heroes. The weakest of such characters exhibit an abundance of tragic flaws.

Noir villains are often characterized as homme fatales or “spiders”; in the words of one critic, they are “comfortable in the world of cheap dives, shadowy doorways, and mysterious settings.” They cunningly and ruthlessly manipulate their counterparts to gain power or wealth.

Nevertheless, the noir villains often evoke sympathy, as they are frequently victims of emotional or physical abuse, with such victimization providing impetus for their vengeance. They are trapped in passionless or violent bonds of contract/servitude and resort to murder as a means of escape, usually destroying their conspirators in the process.
