Manga that has references to history and the western canon.

This is a list of manga that is based off of true stories of people.

Detailed artwork with beautiful fight scenes, action, etc.


COMPILATION OF MANGA, MANHWA, MANHUA, WEBTOONS ( I've read ) with beautiful panels to read

^^ mostly actions related

Manga that looks pretty (the story is secondary). Arranged (roughly) from best to worst, plot-wise. Updated rarely as I don't have time for animanga in general, but still ongoing regardless.

We need more beauty in the world...

Last entry: 20th of December 2023

Some interesting manga centered around (or set in the backdrop of) war between nations in and around (an analogous version of) the modern era, with a slight emphasis towards the late modern period and beyond. I'll try my best to include a good amount of variety of locations / settings.

I curated this list based on the amount of discourse each of these stories presents about the historical context of a war, or makes considerable effort to deliver storylines that depict war strategies or the lives of combatants or an explanation of national politics.

I will try not including sequels, prequels, or spin-offs in this list, unless they are significantly different in nature to the original, in an effort to avoid repetition or bias towards any particular stories.

Sorted in alphabetical order.

Manga recommendations given in the Anime Collective YouTube channel, I’ll only add titles mentioned in recommendation videos and in series review videos, so I will not be counting the ones mentioned in manga hauls or edition reviews(even if the latter also reviews the story)

brief, underrated works that stand out to me visually or thematically
key themes: gore, boy's love, youth, despair
most of these contain on-page sexual assault and other extremities
still a work in progress!

Part 1:
https://myanimelist.net/stacks/35258

Manga with art styles that are memorable/captivating because of their distinctiveness in addition to being detail-rich, vivid/realistic, stylised, clean & polished, and fairly aesthetically pleasing. Effective composition & panelling are taken into account too for an overall rich visual experience.

These works are such feasts for the eyes that I feel compelled to read them even when I am not particularly interested in the stories/plot.

Stack notes:
- I’ve read, am reading, or PTR but have looked through parts of (denoted by “*initial impression”) the listed mangas; stack will be updated accordingly
- Max 3 entries per artist (I’m exercising self-restraint, but safe to assume that other works by the same artist are worth checking out)
- No prequels/sequels included
- Contains BL (boys love)

What the title says.

As the title says, a copilation of the weirdest, most groundbreaking, and overall most original mangas i've read. This includes original stories, stunning art-style, etc.

so deep and psychological. most often a red flag. see also the 'anime elitist starter pack' this belongs to the same category (i've either read or planned to read all of these)

Manga version for my Impermanence anime stack.

This is still very much a WIP stack, so I will be making several changes in the coming days. Please reach out if you wish to make suggestions!

Stories that take place in historical settings, in historical order.

manga with narratives based on real historical events for those who need to study history

classes

(I will not include historical works with fantasy elements)

This series of interest stacks is a list of mangas & light novels that have been or are being licensed and published in Argentina. This DOES NOT include imported physicals originally released in other territories. Manhwas are included, however, manga-like releases from outside Asia are not included. Manga missing in MAL will be noted in each stack's description.

The mangas are in alphabetical order according to the title they were published under in Argentina, and not according to their original title. Each modified title is noted under each manga. Most of these can be bought online, although there are discontinued manga which can no longer be found unless bought used.

These interest stacks will be updated regularly and should always be considered to be incomplete. Please, message me if there's any manga missing, and/or if any info is wrong or missing. Due to MAL's 50-items limit on interest stacks, the entire list spans multiple stacks.

Whether it be beautiful, sad, cruel or happy, these titles follow a character across multiple years of their life, observing them being slowly shaped into... something.

This "something" can be a cruel end, a fiery goal achieved, a promise fulfilled, or a love finally found - a metamorphosis of a lifetime.

I tried to add as many different flavors of a "metamorphosis" as I could - from disturbing, to sweet, to heartbreaking, to inspiring and many more.
