-Manga that breaks people.
-Manga that will make you feel empty rather than making you cry.

Good luck reading them.

From psychedelic/trippy stories to overall unique and bizarre reads, this stack definitely has the "wtf" factor. Read at your own discretion 🤓

*This is my opinion*

the best I've read and the only ones I can really deem with the 10 - masterpiece score

I've only used this rating when reading something that I truly thought was unique or truly a masterpiece so please enjoy

these will be the most emotionally provoking, artistically beautiful, and the ones that are simply a cut above the others

--This will be updated as I discover more manga that i feel deserves a spot on my list--

SIGMA? SAY NO MORE.

Best mangas with a sigma character (or on its way to become one)

The term "denpa" means electromagnetic wave and is used to refer to people whit strange beliefs or delusions. In manga, the denpa genre often includes motifs of technology, character's who are outsiders in mundane environments, and a surrealistic, but often dark, tone. Common themes include dissconecton from one's surroundings, anxiety, and paranoia. Many denpa stories fall into the horror genre, but a manga doesn't have to be scary or depressing to be denpa.
The denpa genre is very popular when it comes to visual novels, some notable ones being Saya No Uta, Wonderful Everyday, and YOU AND ME AND HER.
(More manga and LN's will be added soon! Feel free to send some rec's that you think could fit whit this list!)

Manga that make you go, "What the fuck am I even reading anymore." Usually manga that go batshit insane approaching the end of the story. Kongo Bancho here because of the shark, so fucking peak. Also any Go Nagai manga ever.

Abstract, odd, weird manga I found.
