Regardless of the version you wanna try, you're not gonna regret the experience. If you don't know the manga version, I recommend watching the drama first. And if you liked it, just read the manga afterwards.

Teacher x Delinquent Manga.

Drama adaption is a classic one. It's quite old but solid and very famous.
Apparently they will release a special episode this year.
Btw there are two adaptions, but are solid but I like the older one more.

Liar Game

It's probably the most well known money game drama after Squid Game.
Since this drama is quite old, it's not on the level of Squid Game but it's still enjoyable. It also got an Korean adaption.

Action x Battle Manga.

An solid Netflix adaption of a classic Weekly Shonen Jump manga. If you like Hunter x Hunter, you're gonna like it since it's from the same Mangaka.
They made a lot of changes but reasonable since they wanted to finish it in one season.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure spinoff manga. If you like Rohan Kishibe you're gonna love the drama as well as the manga. The drama did an amazing job with it's adaption. By removing Stands from the story it avoided making a disappointing adaption full of poor but cost heavy CGI.
