Rules are the same: there is no anime adaptation, manga must be good plus it should be pretty underrated.

Vol I: stacks/4593
My favourite one-shots: stacks/5034

This list contains manga with a delinquent and troublemaking main character, or at least a main character who was previously a delinquent and sometimes shows delinquent characteristics; however, the content itself doesn't revolve around delinquent life. This means manga that are similar to Tokyo Revengers will be excluded.

The main character may occasionally get into fights and cause problems for others, but the prime focus of the plot will be something like a delinquent trying to fit in with normal students or win the heart of his crush, and not his antics and shenanigans with his delinquent group of friends (assuming the main character is male).

Note: the reader already knows about this secret from the start (no spoilers).

In this stack, I'll sort the recommendations into different categories.
Category A: MC's secret is the main plot of the manga.
Category B: MC's secret is important but does not constitute the main plot.
Category C: MC's secret was important in the beginning, but the "secret" nature of it gets ditched as the story progresses.

This is not a complete list, I may add more entries as time goes on. If you find any manga which deals with this particular trope, feel free to send me a message.

second part of english shonen jump published catalogue

Somewhat long series that are still short enough so that you could binge read the whole series over the weekend. Some go a few chapters over the 100 mark which is why the "ish" part is there.

This is a list of the Viz Shonen Jump 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 Sunday/Viz Signature line 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 releases vs the already existing Shojo Beat release interest stacks

Not dealing with Light Novels here either
