(some are more loosely 'delinquent', be it important characters or elements)

(I have read at least some of all)

Every manga that focuses on the delinquent life or similar (bosozoku also included). Note: Mangas that contains delinquents but aren't about delinquents won't be included, such as Slam Dunk, Yu Yu Hakusho and Beelzebub. I'll order by the ones I consider to be the most important to the genre. This is not a definitive list, I can and probably will be forgetting some mangas. Also, I won't put every single Crows/Worst side-story (because there is more than 15 so far).

Not including the old-fashioned bandit/proto-delinquent mangas such as Otoko Ippiki Gaki Daishou (Motomiya Hiroshi has several mangas like that), Gakuran Hachinegumi, Banchou Wakusei and Yuuyake Banchou.

If you haven't read any of these yet, I recommend Kiku and Bakuon Rettou as starters.

Some mangas are not available to read, but I put here hoping someone who reads japanese gets interested enough to start a project translanting the manga.

Enjoy these diverse worlds and cute romances from Weekly Shonen Magazine.

EDIT: Added "Four Knights of the Apocalypse", "Knights of the Area", "Gamaran", "GTO: The Early Years" and "Cromartie High School".

Seinen manga is targeted to males, has action, philosophy, psychological elements, maybe some realistic romance.
That’s the common theme for this list. I will not include the popular shonen Naruto here, but will include Hunter x Hunter. That’s because HxH is dark and has deep philosophical themes. So that’s it!

Manga with "me and the boys" vibe.

Weekly Shōnen Magazine (Japanese: 週刊少年マガジン, Hepburn: Shūkan Shōnen Magajin) is a weekly shōnen manga magazine published on Wednesdays in Japan by Kodansha, first published on March 17, 1959. The magazine is mainly read by an older audience, with a significant portion of its readership falling under the male high school or college student demographic. According to circulation figures accumulated by the Japanese Magazine Publishers Association, the magazine's circulation has dropped in every quarter since records were first collected in April–June 2008. This is, however, not an isolated occurrence as digital media continues to be on the rise. (Source: Wikipedia)

I base my list simply on the manga listed on MyAnimeList (https://myanimelist.net/manga/magazine/8/Shounen_Magazine_Weekly).

Those I haven't had yet and which have a good chance of moving up in the rankings: 1 2 no Sanshirou, A-bout, Ai to Makoto, DAYS, Football Taka, GetBackers, Over Drive, Sumire♡17-sai, Super Doctor K and Tokkyuu

The comedy tag on here is pretty bloated, so here are comedies that are actually funny.
