Nobuyuki Fukumoto is one of the quintessential authors in the world of psychological/suspense manga, but his lengthy mangaography and atypical art style may be a little intimidating for newcomers. I've compiled a list of what I would consider his core works, and a recommended reading order.

Real legit kino based lit mangoes

Seinen manga is targeted to males, has action, philosophy, psychological elements, maybe some realistic romance.
That’s the common theme for this list. I will not include the popular shonen Naruto here, but will include Hunter x Hunter. That’s because HxH is dark and has deep philosophical themes. So that’s it!

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

Manga with tactical fights/strategic battles that are not determined by strength or numbers but how they use what they have available to them, using their knowledge/cunning to outsmart their opponent, exploiting weakness, planning beforehand or quick thinking in the heat of battle and using what's in their immediate surroundings to their advantage.

Not all included manga are at the same level when it comes to tactical fights/strategic battles and while the majority of fights are tactical and the battles strategic there are some that are not.

1 title per series

Manga about protagonists that's lives changed for the better due to a change in how they see the world, themselves and those around them, though there are some that must go through hardships before they are able to change.

The change in these protagonists aren't instant and some of the included protagonists take a long time to change or just have a more natural gradual change that is more apparent once you have gotten further into the story.

Well a way to look into new mangas that many people forget is... Looking at the authors of the mangas you liked! who wouldve thought... Right..?

Manga featuring protagonists who are 40 years of age or older.

Faithful adaptation of VNs Like Ciconia (when it's completed), SubaHibi, Zero Escape, Katawa Shoujo, good adaptation of Muv-Luv, The House in Fata Morgana are acceptable.

And I think games like Baroque, Drakengard, Folklore, No More Heroes, Odin Sphere, Parasite Eve and Flower, Sun and Rain with full adaptation and works like Bloodborne, Dark Souls, Sekiro, Silent Hill and Xenogears with a side-story like, or totally new stories in Anime form will be really good. but sadly, I know most of them will never happen.

Also, it's too soon to add works like Frieren and Helck, but i wish they don't become new 86.

Using the same distinction between Literary and Genre Fiction.
Manga that focus on characters and themes rather than plot, and don't conform to a genre.

Literary manga != Good manga
