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.

You can find the other parts on my profile.

A selection of manhwa/manhua (webtoons/webcomics) that are or have a version that's entirely or mostly monochromatic black and white, from ~2010 and onward (nonexclusive).

Selection is based on the appeal of the story (mostly drama/slice of life/romance/adventure/mystery/horror) and/or art (fairly clean & detailed).

"bonus:" added for entries that are as manga-like as possible in terms of PANEL STRUCTURE (no excessive gutter spacing), FORMAT (not long vertical), and/or ART (hand-drawn or hand-drawn-style).

Stack notes:
- contains BL (boys love)
- for titles not currently on MAL, find on my Anime-Planet List: https://www.anime-planet.com/users/iliad33/lists/select-mostlybandw-manhwamanhua-circa-20-1099235

"It's not a matter of good or evil; yet it may be possible to do it any other way."

Noir is characterized by such elements as cynical heroes, stark lighting effects, frequent use of flashbacks, intricate plots, and an underlying existentialist philosophy. The full definition can be found in Noir interest stacks' descriptions; but at times, manga titles haven't gone all in Noir, rather the mangakas made it more palatable to wider audience.

I realize it after having stumbled upon some manga titles that contain some clear Noir features, but not fully immersed in it (tl;dr: not enough blood spilled) to be inserted in Noir interest stack.
