The Seiun Award (星雲賞, Seiunshou) is a Japanese speculative fiction award for the best science fiction works and achievements during the preceding year. Organized and overseen by the Science Fiction Fan Groups' Association of Nippon (SFFAN; 日本SFファングループ連合会議, Nihon SF Fan Group Rengou Kaigi), the awards were given each year at the annual Japan Science Fiction Convention. It is the oldest SF award in Japan, which was first given in 1970 at the 9th Japan Science Fiction Convention and has been awarded every year since that.

Critics & Connoisseurs was a club that was founded in 2008 and ended club activities on the 31st of 2022.

The goal of the club was to come up with a list of highly recommended quality shows and manga that are exemplary either within its genre or universally. A manga needed a 70% approval rate in our voting to get on the relation list. The following manga are all part of said list.
Do note that our club's main focus always was anime, our club's readership was relatively low which results in a lot of manga not being able to reach enough votes to get on the relation list despite having a 70% or higher approval rate.

What's the best way to deal with existential angst? Lesbianism, of course. This is a collection of manga series that juggle yuri and philosophy effortlessly.

Seinen manga that can be enjoyed by underage (-18) readers.
Most of them are Comedy/Sports/SOL based.

I have a stack with the opposite: Shounen with lots of gore:

-------------------------------------------------------------
!!! Waga Na wa Umishi Chapter 131 contains some uncensored nudity (I was totally caught off-guard) so you can read up to 130 without any problem, or skip 131 and go straight to 132 because you won't miss out on anything important.
Also, Hokuhokusei ni Kumo to Ike shows some of those scenes (Ch 8 + cover of Ch 10).
Dr. Kumahige has an unnecessary boob exposed moment in Ch 18.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Same Girl and Dounyatsu are Seinen manga that look very "Shounen"-ish.

Worldbuilding - "the process of constructing a world, originally an imaginary one, sometimes associated with a fictional universe." These kinds of manga are usually set in a fantasy and/or sci-fi world, and excel at establishing & showcasing the rules/history/economy of their fictional universe. List was created through collective data from multiple websites of people's answers as to what manga are considered to have great world building.

Are you a Machine or a Human...?

Androids are humans... not really they are artificially-created to mimic them in looks and behavior. Maybe its a Droid, maybe its an robot? At least we know they aren't really Human...
Well I've collected some Media which features Androids, maybe you find something new to explore!

Most of these are recommendations which I haven't read. Some of them might not fit the theme much, you have been warned. Feel free to reach out to me and make additions ^-^

This list is a social experiment, a study about the manga vs the reader.
What you gonna feel while reading each manga in this list may be either a unique great or devastating for your mental sanity.

This list will always be in alphabetical order.

If the ratings on my profile tell you nothing else it should tell you this; I am very a harsh critic. My average for animé and manga are both in the 5's and, considering how many titles I've completed, will likely always be there. If I rate something a 6 or higher I really do think it's worthwhile. So everything in this stack is something I would recommend at least trying.

All manga in this stack are manga that have ended and never received a TV or movie adaptation and that I have read and given a rating of 6 or above. This stack will be updated as I find new titles. Expect Yotsuba&! (8.5) to make this list when it ends as I highly doubt it will ever get animated (Azuma is refusing to allow it).

This is a list of Manga that fall under the 'Cottagecore' aesthetic. The Cottagecore aesthetic romanticizes nature, the countryside and slow living. It consists of peaceful pastoral locations, homemade crafts, and traditional homesteading activities such as cooking, picnicking, gardening, forging, care-taking, etc.

Cottagecore is a western concept, but goes hand in hand with 'Iyashikei', which is a theme often intertwined with Slice of Life. It emphasizes slow living, and appreciates the wonder of being alive. It brings a gentle joy to the chores in every day life, and has a peaceful, serene tone. It's one of the narrative styles that make Japanese works so distinct and charming.

I'll be adding to this list as time goes on. Some of these works wont fully fit the Cottagecore aesthetic, but are close enough that they're worthy of being in the stack.

Manga that Fujimoto Tatsuki (Chainsaw Man author) mentioned in the Magazine Switch. Could be taken as recommendations.
