Mangakas rarely create an original idea or plot line, but this list includes all of the good mangas where the author decided to add a unique twist on the overdone tropes.

Isekai/Fantasy-esque characters and monsters are dragged into a Modern World. Also Reverse Isekai, and 'Dungeon Exploration in the Modern World'/Modern Dungeon Fantasy. Expect Elf, Princess, Knight, Demon, Dragon, Goblin, and others to appear.

Some of the edgiest/dark stories I have come across over my years of reading, but they are somehow enjoyable. Enjoy!

What is edge?
Here’s some criteria’s to find out:
Is the story nerve wracking or uncomfortable to read?
Is the mc overpowered?
Does the mc “struggle?”
Does the mc have a desire for revenge?
Does the mc have sex with everybody in sight?
Does the mc have some self-values or is an anti-hero?
Does the story have torture, rape, or killing?
Are the panels dark/uncensored in their actions?
Are the side characters all psychopathic and kill/treat the mc like crap, since he’s the mc?

Not all of the criterias that an edgy manga can have, but I hope this helps you in your adventures of identifying edge.
