So why is this on the top of my list? I love the FL. She may not be physically strong, but she will not hesitate to grab a bat and go crazy. She can be scared, but she will still do whatever the hell she can manage. But most of all, she's capable and smart. She's not annoying.
I love both MLs who are equally psychopathic. Story revolves around yakuzas and gangs.
10/10
Start contemplating life, question everything, rethink your opinions...
MC is too smart, he got accused for murder but starts a sherlock holmes series.
10/10 would recommend.
It's definitely a sad story... you will shed tears.
Without spoiling much, it's about two children trying to survive war and post-apocalyptic world.
9/10
Badass female lead who had a hard life in the slums, worked hard to achieve self-made success. Along the way she picked up a boy who she saw her past self in.
9/10
Action romance anyone?
FL and ML are both assassins. Meeting ML, FL was sure she was going to be killed on spot, only for ML to get her number and ask her out on a date.
9/10
A lot of kingdom building is involved in this one. Story revolves around a desert tribe, MC being the leader. He's not OP to start with, learning from a mysterious master who taught him how to fight. As the story unfolds and a lot of fights/politics between different tribes, you start to discover the world and follow along the MC's journey of development.
8/10
A makeshift family assembled for each party's conveniences
Father - a spy who requires a child with a good family to infiltrate into an important political figure.
Child - an esper who can read thoughts. Just wants to get adopted into an amusing and loving family
Mother - an assassin who needed to show she was married
Deception is in full play between the fake family members, but at a point their bonds grow strong enough to care for each other.
Major fluff 10/10 recommended
This one is a bit long but I binged it near exams and I couldn't drop it, so my grades dropped instead :')
Boy wants to become a general, climbs up the ranks after making a name on himself on battlefield. Characters, be it friends or enemies, are all loveable. As in, you can appreciate their personalities and why they are the way they are. Unexpected deaths of comrades will make you cry, get some tissue beside you.
10/10
Love the excitement the manga gives with action, guns and thriller etc. and the *subtle* romance blooming.
Story follows a team of professional(?) BB gun players, and our MC is a girl who joined the team hiding the fact that she was a girl.
Spoiler:
Tiny bit disappointed MC didn't end up with anyone, the ending was open-ended and lackluster.
6.5/10
My first shoujo manga about a high school girl and a hacker protecting her from the shadows.
It was very sweet and funny, will remember it for years to come. Too cheesy for me to read today but my pre-teen self loved this to death.
9/10
Edit: (+1 for good memories) I added this manga to the list in 2016, gosh it's been a while

Love this list! :)
Thank you! ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
If you notice the ratings are a bit skewed (i.e. why is there no manga under 5/10?) - that's because you're looking at the list "Special place in my heart". There's no way I'd rate a manga low if it made an impression in my heart hahaha
