A manga that makes you want to travel when you read it.

A manga that somehow makes you want to travel and feel like traveling when you read it. Manga based on light novels are included in the manga version.

There are some BL works mixed in, so be careful if you don't like them.

When people try to explain why they love a manga so much, you might find the usual "I love the characters", "really like the art", "world building!!". Which, by no means is a bad thing, but an element of manga that is not very commonly talked about it panelling. It's very easy to confuse composition and panelling, but hopefully this list will help you experience the true beauty of how important panel structure is to maintain consistent flow whilst reading!

Panelling, Composition, Art and Negative Space are all taken into consideration when adding to this list. Enjoy!!

- Weebookey

- No Fully Gag or iyashikei Manga
- I Will Allow a few others of those series if there is dramatic scenes in them even if its sparse.
- There can be male protagonists in the series, but at least 75% of the manga has to revolve around the Female Lead.
- I Will also not include SOME harem/romance manga, but only some, a bit abitary but again dont wanna conflate the list
- I May count genderbent manga

Volume 1 released after 2020.

I love reading tragic and twisted romance. So I made this stack for myself and also for the people who enjoy reading them. Hope you'll be able to find something new through this stack ^^


I have a stack for "Short Psychological Manga" if anyone is interested 
Here's the link:

They would have gotten away with it too, If it weren't for these meddling protagonists.

A list of manga about solving a big mystery, solving individual cases that are unrelated to each other or solving individual cases which are linked to solving a bigger mystery.

The mysteries solved are either a mystery to both the protagonist and the reader or just the protagonist with the reader knowing most of what's going on, it may also be a mystery to whoever is trying to solve the mystery which could be supporting characters or the protagonists antagonist.

From fantasy adventure to historical fiction to, yes, superheroes and monsters, manga has stories for readers of every genre and age.
Here is a list of manga I hope you can enjoy.

Manga with LGBT+ characters that do not focus on romance—some have romance in them, but it isn’t the main focus of the story.

Stories that are melancholic and sad, but have a hopeful outlook at the same time
This is my favourite tone of story, so any recommendations to add in are very much welcome!

Interesting and notable titles from Shueisha's seinen magazine line.

Slice of life manga involving things like death, suicide, murder, depression, anxiety, paranoia, racism, survival, dark secrets(ex.cloning), loss/decline in/of civilisation etc.

I've included the fable and Kizudarake no Jinsei which aren't labelled as slice of life but they lie somewhere between gritty crime drama and a slice of life story.

The Mangas and Light Novels featured here must have strong sales and/or awards, or other external factors such as their publication magazine, the author's popularity, localization, availability in manga and light novel format, and any rumors or leaks.

New rule: Once the confirmed series finally releases, I will then remove them from the list and replace them. So as long as the show haven't come out from now on (7/7/2023), I will keep it on my list till it comes out.

Interest stack created: October 8, 2022
Last cleanup: 3/8/2025 (First update in nearly a year, cleaned up all the correct ones, will be adding new mangas to this list soon)
Total Correct Predictions so Far: 46
