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.

Mangas that I rather recommend watch as the anime version

joey the anime man monthly otaku manga titles

Manga that features yokai as its main subject or a main character/cast of characters who tell stories relating to yokai. Some of these stories may be resolved by the said cast of characters but it also can just be a story.

Adding things I have read thus far but will add things as I find them!

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 serialized in seinen magazines by female mangaka, as well as non-binary mangaka.

Manga written to make you think, reconsider, or feel a strong sense of pondering.
Typically the characters are also questioning things and have long conversations about many topics.

"Often considered to be untranslatable, mono no aware refers to the bittersweet realization of the ephemeral nature of all things. It is the awareness that everything in existence is temporary. The fleetingness of youth, the fading of romance, and the changing of seasons are not to be mourned, but cherished and appreciated in their impermanence, for that is where their beauty comes from."

Literally a list for episodic manga

Manga with that quiet, cosy feeling. They tend to be low on plot but rich with characters and atmosphere—my personal favourite type of manga~
I also have a quietly contemplative stack, which are similarly quiet and soft but with more psychoanalysis and statements

Light 'em if you got 'em! Here's some manga for smokers.
