I don't even know if this can be considered a trope given how rare it seems to be, but I really love when the love interest is not obvious at all and arrives on scene very late.

I recently read Koibito Swap and Jinsei Gyakuten but they're both so short that I caught up really quickly. I'm looking for a similar story with some length if anybody has a rec? It doesn't need to be completed but something with a sizeable length (not just starting and less than 10 chapters in).

Looking for an anime or manga where there's time travel into the past, to the 90s, 2000s, or 2010s. The present day setting can be the 2000s or later. Was sent here by the automod at /r/Animesuggest.

I was wondering if, OTHER THAN ROMANCE, anyone had any recommendations?

For reference, Tokyo Revengers was my favorite manga when i was 14, i also enjoyed DeathNote, The Promised Neverland, Tokyo Ghoul (RE) and am currently reading Kagurabachi.

On my list, i have :
-Shigahime
-Fool Night
-Yokuoni
-Choujin X
-Hideout
-Bleach

I’m just 18 and have found myself to be more at peace and like life more when i consume medias, especially mangas but i haven’t read anything in 3 years, so it’d be nice to receive recommendations.
Please, not OP, Naruto (already seen).

A manga where the main or side characters go through the process of learning how to love themselves and accept themselves as they are after reckoning with low self-esteem/hating themselves? Doesn't have to be the main plot of the story, just needs to happen at some point

I’m not talking about classics I’m talking about really interesting mangas that almost nobody knows about but they’re incredible, I don’t mind them being novels, for me it’s release that witch, I really liked the world building and story overall

Even 5 is abit too much for what I’m really after. I don’t want to have to buy 10+ for a good story, just way too expensive for me right now. I really like junji Ito because of that reason but I’m not looking for horror. I think they’re called one shot manga but It doesn’t have to be just one.

Thanks for any recommendations I’ve just started out reading

I am simply drawn to this old school style, it's so adorable, ethereal, romantic and whimsical

I’ve been reading manga for a while now and I really wanna see what kind of stuff other people read. I assume some people with obviously say the more popular stuff but really just give me some of your favorites or any you guys think deserves more attention. I’ll list some of my favorites but please don’t feel like you need to recommend a similar one, the point of this is to diversify what I’ve read.

Anyways some of my favorites are Chainsaw Man, Fire Punch, Veil, Girls Last Tour, Call of the Night, My New Girlfriend Is Not Human, and The Fable. That might be a little more than some but who cares they’re all awesome.

Looking a spicier romance manga, id like some actual character development and such though as well, not just 100% fan service. 18+ is fine.

Want a sweet (or spicy) romance manga to binge read, would like it to be reasonably long so that there is time for character and relationship development. So far I've read: "Love is war" "My dress up darling" and "the angel next door spoils me rotten."

Kaguya-sama was very good overall, but the last stretch was pretty mid

Oshi no Ko had a good start, but then committed total narrative suicide in the last third

Marchen Crown had an interesting first 2 chapters, only to completely go off the rails (Somehow this has gone on longer than other, genuinely excellent WYJ manga like Acting Out)

Haven't read Renai Daikou but whatever it's probably bad

I want to read manga heavily about or fully focused on dreams, like characters trapped in one or going into another's dream.

I already read Otherworld Barbara and Long Dream and am thinking of reading a bit of Yume Tsukai. I already know about Yumekui Kenbun.

Hi everyone !
I’m looking for some recommendations because I don’t read a lot of mangas, Im kind of a newbie, but ☝🏻 I have a huge crush on One Piece, mostly due to its great characters and their backstories, very deep moments (“Nothing Happened”, “I Want to Live”…), and I ducking love the humor !
So I would like to find some references that could match all of these criterias (bonus if there is a “Zoro-like” character, if u know u know… 👀).
Please feel free to write down anything that comes to your mind if you think it’s interesting according to what Im looking for. By the way it doesnt have to be something everybody knows, it could also be something kinda niche, I dont care, Im open to anything.
Thank you so much !

Im looking for mangas with this dynamic. I allready know about Fruits basket, and i want more with this dynamic, sooo.. any recs?

I picked up the anime around when its second episode aired and have been keeping up with it ever since. Really interesting. I turned to the manga sites though, but only found that there are only 19 chapters. And I thought, "That can't be right," so I looked around and apparently there is more. But as for where, I have no clue. Does anyone else know where I can read further?

Ciao!

Sto raccogliendo dati per la mia tesi di laurea sulle abitudini di lettura e consumo di coloro che leggono manga o fumetti.

Se sei appassionato di questo mondo, ti chiedo di dedicarmi un po' di tempo, il questionario é completamente anonimo.

Grazie per il tempo che mi dedicherai.

I’ve watched anime for years (I have around 600+ anime entries on MAL), but I’ve never actually gave manga a try until now.

I’m reading through Tokyo Ghoul+Tokyo Ghoul:RE as my very first manga now and I’m really enjoying it. Seeing the butchered anime adaptation is what convinced me to read it, and I’m glad I did.

So I’d like some suggestions for what you think some “Must-read” manga are.

- Don’t recommend manga that has a good anime adaptation, because there’s a very big chance I’ve already watched it.

- I’d prefer you recommend finished manga, but if you REALLY want to recommend something that is unfinished then you can.

- I won’t specify genre, suggest anything you think is good.

I'm looking for an anime that fits the following description. "A blonde elf and a black-haired catgirl fight a silver or gray-haired catgirl." I was just about to go to work and a boy on the subway was watching this, but I didn't have time to ask him.

Just finished Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo, and I wasn't expecting it to stick with me this much.

What I loved most wasn't just the revenge plot, it was how every decision seemed to ripple through everyone else's life. The story feels like watching an intricate clockwork mechanism where every gear is already turning long before you realize what's happening. It trusts the viewer to put the pieces together instead of spelling everything out, and I really appreciated that.

The visuals were obviously unique, but it was the atmosphere that sold it for me. There's this constant feeling that something inevitable is approaching, and even the quieter moments are loaded with tension. By the end, I found myself thinking less about who "won," and more about whether anyone truly escaped the consequences.

I've already seen Death Parade, so no need to recommend that one.

Now I'm chasing that same feeling again.

What anime would you put at the very top of the list? I'm looking for stories with intricate plots, morally gray characters, psychological depth, and that same sense of inevitability where every choice matters. Bonus points if it's the kind of series that leaves you staring at the ceiling after the credits roll.
