Manga I found creative

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

It doesn't matter if we all die.

The term "denpa" means electromagnetic wave and is used to refer to people whit strange beliefs or delusions. In manga, the denpa genre often includes motifs of technology, character's who are outsiders in mundane environments, and a surrealistic, but often dark, tone. Common themes include dissconecton from one's surroundings, anxiety, and paranoia. Many denpa stories fall into the horror genre, but a manga doesn't have to be scary or depressing to be denpa.
The denpa genre is very popular when it comes to visual novels, some notable ones being Saya No Uta, Wonderful Everyday, and YOU AND ME AND HER.
(More manga and LN's will be added soon! Feel free to send some rec's that you think could fit whit this list!)

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

Series that cause what I call "Twisted euphoria"

Series that make me ecstatic to be alive, grinning from ear to ear or laughing like a maniac, despite (or rather, because of) how f***ed up parts of them are, in conjunction with how not-f***ed-up other parts of them are.

Cute girls killing people with a smile,
magical girls committing sudoku,
beautiful worlds full of haunting ghosts,
a shounen-style tournament full of huge perverts, etc.

As an example of what I mean, Doki Doki Literature Club had me smiling from ear to ear the whole way through. Even moreso in the second half than the first.
Fujimi Lovers is a perfect example in terms of manga.
The Mesmerizer Miku song is another good example.
Also, if you've ever watched Murder Drones or The Amazing Digital Circus...
The "Twisted Euphoria" feeling I'm talking about is pretty similar to how Baio Rin from 100 Girlfriends reacts to violence.

The ones closer to the top of the list are generally more likely to cause this feeling, and the ones at the very bottom (Saya no Uta and below) are the manga/novel versions of other media that would be on the list, instead, if it was allowed.

The series on the list are based on my subjective experience, so some other series that could cause the feeling might not be on here, like Madoka, Made in Abyss, or some others.

Not all of these are strictly horror titles but they are at least horror adjacent...the shark manga is here mostly for the memes though.
