- No stuff thats horror only because of gore or shock factor(So sorry to say but no devilman and TG)

- I will not be listing the junji ito one shot collection stories cause holy shit theres wayyyy too many of them and can prob be its own list
- Related to first point, No manga that revovles around Zombies/vampire(So no HoTD and Gakkou Gurashi)

This is for your friends who only know manga through anime or only relate it to shonen and ecchi, it’s not necessarily directed at a “manga beginner” but at those who aren't part of the niche and want to see the different perspectives the medium can offer. I'm obviating some extremely popular works for variety's sake, shoujo and josei are overlooked enough in this kind of stacks ;) 3 volumes and up, well drawn, mostly easy to follow, interesting visual and narratively.

Some other aspects I considered:
- Cinematic vibes
- Human drama
- Down to earth, realistic characters
- Cross-cultural appeal (e.g pop culture references, foreign settings, etc)
- No out of place fanservice
- No tropes that might break the immersion (e.g. author insertion)

A list of 1960s manga that has been released physical in English. Any manga that goes out of print will be removed

Horror with a strong camp appeal, queer-ish outsiders as anti-heroes, queer perspectives or themes - or even just a destruction of norms around patriarchy.

This is a list of ongoing and complete manga that are available on the VIZ MANGA app.

[These are all Romance Series

NOTE!!:
I'm not including every single series here, There are still a number of series that don't have every chapter available and thus I will not include them here. Once the unavailable chapters are added, I'll include them on this list.


For example:
as of August 23rd, 2023 Detective Conan does not have all of its chapters available, chapters 928-1099 are unavailable, so once these chapters do become available I will include Detective Conan to this list

Manga series with covers that feature recurring design and composition elements, consistent art styles, gradual changes that show intent and overall harmony of the entire collection. I'm open to suggestions, I try not to add too many “standing character” situations, but will do so if the art is striking enough.

This is a list of the Viz Signature and Shonen Sunday (excluding any Shojo/Josei in the Signature line) imprint manga that have been published physically in English (so it doesn't include any digital-exclusives that would be found on Manga+ or SJ app). This also doesn't include any of Viz's Shonen Jump imprint titles.

I got annoyed that someone said Viz release more Shojo than Shonen, so I made this list to put into perspective total Shonen Jump (and now Shonen Sunday and Viz Signature) releases vs the already existing Shojo Beat release interest stacks

Not dealing with Light Novels here either

I've left off a bunch of Junji Ito's anthologies since they include both shojo and seinen manga in the anthologies

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.
