◦ Most entries are Seinen but there are some which are not. I included them because they're either definitely suited for an older/adult audience or are just the epitome of good writing and too good to miss out on!

◦ Almost all mangas are my personal recommendations but some of them aren't preferrebly my favorites. Even so they're worth reading at least once, hence this list.

Some of my favorite manga that contain real life figures or take place in a historic setting

Dear Gothic Lolita lover

This manga is about Gothic world and clothes.
Frills, lace, ribbons🎀,rose…Gothic and Lolita adorned with opulent decorations.

Girls wearing such Gothic Lolita are cute! Don't you think? Sometimes they are cool! Don't you think?

Here is some popular manga that haven't got anime adaptation yet

This is a collection of ' must read' mangas which are set somewhere in past ,involving swords and great swordsmen .

Unnerving queer stories. Mostly supernatural <3
(Mayor content warnings for most of these manga)

I only count the editorials that stills publishing to this day: IVREA, Panini Manga, Ovnipress, Kemuri, Utopia, Distrito Manga and Pop Fiction.

Only Manga concluded as of creation.

Series that have gothic and/or vicrotian or edwardian feel/setting/aesthetic. Periods like 19-century Europe and French Revolution are included!
Some are well-known, some are not so much :3
I love this If I find something new and fresh, I add it!

Primarily compiled from my own list so I'm sure there's plenty I'm missing! Feel free to send me more :)

MILC Moments with Uncle & Nephew

mixed with some non-mystery or non-fantasy victorian era/gothic-style manga
funnily enough many of them have vampires

**disclaimer: i have not read everything in this stack, im kind of using it as a to-read list of sorts (apart from my favs that i've already read) and just sharing in case others have similar taste

Pretty self-explanatory title

“We need the books that affect us like a disaster, that grieve us deeply, like the death of someone we loved more than ourselves, like being banished into forests far from everyone, like a suicide. A book must be the axe for the frozen sea inside us.”
- Kafka

Being one of my favorite classic writter, Kafka is also well know in the world for his enormous impact on the culture (not only in the litterature tho)

As said in the quote, Kafka thought that we need books that ''affect us like a disaster". Here is my list of manga that effected me a lot. Short list for now but I'm constantly trying to read this kind of stories so there will be updates.

Of course, big Trigger Warning, most of the folliwing stories aren't very pleasant to read, you may have trouble while reading them, depend on your sensibility and your traumas.
