Lesser Known Modern Shounen / Seinen
Manga
primarily action/supernatural shounen + seinen from the past 10 or so years with limited members on MAL. some is finished, some was cancelled, some is still publishing. mostly shorter series. varying levels of quality. being on this list doesnt mean i finished it or enjoyed it. volume count for publishing series relates to how many are available in english online.
updates at my own pace + when i find the time to read new things.
