masterpieces (encompasses all genres)

it's highly underrated, but ig it depends on ur preferences. but u cant deny, thait's one of the best manga in terms of intelligence, with a very smart ml and antagonist who thinks of the most ingenious strategy yet ends up being seen thru and out-maneuvered by the other. the ending was abrupt and rushed, but everything else was well-written. In this game that is perhaps a reflection of society, manipulation and deception are necessary to advance, but honesty and cooperation are key to

widely considered one of the best manga/anime of all time. it's an actual masterpiece from beginning to end, it's profound and thought-provoking. those who love a psychological investigative storyline following an altruistic protagonist with a heart of gold will absolutely love this. guarenteed.

it's highly underviewed. action/dystopian/strong fl/ themes of revolution and changing your opponents' idealogy or thinking. i love the message, and the battles had me hyped up. very well-written side characters, unique art style, and amazing storytelling. i cried and i cheered, i have yet to find another action manhwa that makes me feel such intense emotions in a single story

each arc is well-written and while at first it seems lighthearted cuz of the art, its core deals with heavy topics such as trauma/abuse and it's handled very well here. it was sometimes hard to read ngl. the charas are very fleshed out and their portrayal of their emotional baggage with their interpersonal drama with their parents feels very realistic. and while the art style is simple, it is effective in conveying the characters' emotions

a masterpiece that's very underviewed here. it's extremely funny, for me at least, making me choke with laughter sometimes. but then slaps us with real plot as the story progresses and had me teared up worried about mc. it's a bit absurd, with some sci-fi elements, but it's one of my favorite comedic webtoons.

amazing manga set in a mysterious gothic world. the art is gorgeous. it follows a pair of a "lady" and her partner as they travel the world and encounter powerful beings called witches. if u like gorgeous ladies (and men), a magic fantastical world, and tight dialogue, this is for u

one of the most popular manga/anime of all time. it's self-explanatory. charas, plot, pacing, storytelling, and themes are just amazing.

one-of-a-kind manga following a long-lived elf whose companions of the hero's party had passed away. now she is traveling with new companions while reminiscing her memories of her deceased friends, in particular, the hero. it's beautiful and bittersweet, with funny comedic undertones. the worldbuilding and charas have a lot of depth. the concept of the demons are a cut above the rest. the art style is clean and charming.

a closeted gay lawyer x runaway amish who ended up homeless. set in a time when homosexuality is frowned upon. there's something about reading someone's love story thru a diary that makes it so intimate. and it's further enhanced by the contents of that story. their story is beautiful, nuanced, and touching. one of the best bl mangas ever.

a motley crew of adventurers descends into the dungeon again to save the mc's sister. since they don't have money, they must resort to eating monsters, which is gross but the mc is delighted by it lol. they are joined by a mysterious dwarf who is rather knowledgeable about cooking monsters. the worldbuilding of the dungeon and its ecosystems is unique and fleshed out. it's hilarious and the banter between the charas is great. very well-written and entertaining, the best dungeon story ive read.
