Rules are the same: there is no anime adaptation, manga must be good plus it should be pretty underrated.

Vol I: stacks/4593
My favourite one-shots: stacks/5034

Slice of life manga involving things like death, suicide, murder, depression, anxiety, paranoia, racism, survival, dark secrets(ex.cloning), loss/decline in/of civilisation etc.

I've included the fable and Kizudarake no Jinsei which aren't labelled as slice of life but they lie somewhere between gritty crime drama and a slice of life story.

Solid manga, my personal favorites

Manga/LNs featuring those who are always on the move or those who may be on a journey, with or without a particular destination. No isekai.

Manga about people surviving in all kind of different situations or environments.


Trying to exclude the "survival game' type stories and I haven't red all of them so maybe some don't really fit.

Hit me up for any recommendations.

Mangas that sumarize the year of 2022.

Mangá² podcast recommendations (#268-#324)

Ephemerality is the quality of existing only briefly.

Mono no aware (物の哀れ),[a] lit. 'the pathos of things', and also translated as 'an empathy toward things', or 'a sensitivity to ephemera', is a Japanese idiom for the awareness of impermanence (無常, mujō), or transience of things, and both a transient gentle sadness (or wistfulness) at their passing as well as a longer, deeper gentle sadness about this state being the reality of life.

"This too shall pass" (Persian: این نیز بگذرد) is a Persian adage translated and used in several languages. It reflects on the temporary nature, or ephemerality, of the human condition — that neither the bad, nor good, moments in life ever indefinitely last. The general sentiment is often expressed in wisdom literature throughout history and across cultures, but the specific phrase seems to have originated in the writings of the medieval Persian Sufi poets.

A full list of manga titles that I try to keep up with. I keep up-to-date by adding new series that I start and remove ones that finish or go on long hiatuses with no clear return dates. Just below are a list of titles that I always look out for in hopes of updates.

-Frieren: Beyond Journey's End
-Hunter x Hunter
-Vagabond

Not updating or releasing infrequently:
-D.Gray-man
-Hannari Girori no Yoriko-san
-Nichijou
-The Witch and the Beast (Majo to Yajuu)

Please feel free to add me and I'm always looking for new recommendations. I hope this list helps!

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?

Here is a list of mangas that should appeal to old farts like me, who are too old to find fun in shonen characters getting stronger, cliché fantasy or in vanilla school romance tropes.
The main drive is that the manga should have some personality, with decent and properly written characters, laid-back humor, an interesting context and / or a subtle story. Good art and page layout are also appreciated. No violence porn or excessive fan service either, I like authors to focus on something else than these simple devices, although I'm not against them at very small doses when they serve the story. The manga may have been adapted in anime or not, I only address the mangas here.
There are probably some spoilers in my comments so skip them if you're worried about that.

We asked passionate readers which manga you need to read now—and here are the results!

Finalists are listed in the following order: Main List, Unique Art/Story, Should Be Anime, Best for Beginners. Every title is officially available outside Japan in at least one language, with one or more volumes published in 2023.
