Growing up sucks lmao

One thing I've noticed over the years is the sheer amount of people that want recommendations based on a handful of titles that get the whole "being a teenager is physical and emotional hell" angle down pat. You know the ones, we've all been there.

The listed series all deal with the relationships between youths and their bodies, the bodies of others, and the difficulties of becoming an adult. I tried to select series that are more grounded, but ones that capture that same mood and themes will be considered as well.

Content warning for most of these. Interesting manga with disturbing themes and bizarre manga that are burned into my brain.

This is the Masterson Stack. A list featuring chaotic manga. Or alternatively manga that is a little bit off. A treasure trove of madness.

Welcome to a world of Pessimistic joyrides, Existential terrors, Psychosexual nightmares, Nihilistic fever dreams & Surrealism with some comedy in the madness. I hope you enjoy your time here.

Most Recent Addition to the Stack: Himizu

Most Frequently Featured Authors: Usumaru Furuya, Shuuzou Oshimi, Keiichi Koike & Tatsuki Fujimoto

This list was unlisted as it was deemed "Opinionated and not topical" when this is not true at all. Things can be on this list even if I don't personally enjoy them, I don't know if it was a bot or a person, but this was a false unlist. It just so happens I tend to like this type of stuff, but the list exists to have an accessible list of weird shit, not for me to talk about what I enjoy.

No longer using MAL, so the list here wont be updated anymore. I do however have a version of this list on my Anilist that i update, so go check that out if your'e interested.

Pessimistic worldviews. For when you want to wallow in despair.

It doesn't matter if we all die.

Very important.

Mostly obscure manga that are probably worth checking out. (condensed PTR of sorts)

The title says it all >:)

Mangas that will probably never have an anime that adapts them perfectly.

A curated journey through stories where the human spirit is tested against madness, decay, and the unknown—tales that blend haunting beauty with the brutal truths of survival, morality, and the fragility of existence.

If you are a manga reader who want to try something a bit more niche and is not in the top 300, these are some good picks!

A list with all mangas the characters from the hit sports animanga “Blue Lock” state they like, information given by the Egoist Bible Vol 1 and 2 book. Due to the number limit for intems, I made a separate stack for all the mangas mentioned only in Gagamaru's profile. (https://myanimelist.net/stacks/75522)
