"Waiting for them are sweet, painful, and heartrending days."
✓ A story starting with high schooler taichi helping a girl who has an innocent crush on his friend. Relationships get complicated with feelings being developed and tested with new character dynamics, but the friendships take the spotlight, I love it so much. It also has that kind of "characters on the brink of adulthood" atmosphere too.

✓ Deeply psychological and complex manga. MC has a hole drilled in his head and is able to see the homunculus, which "are not monsters, hallucinations or reality, they are just the truth". It portrays the parallel between the self people show publically and their true nature. It's really twisted though, and the MC crosses so many ethical lines. The "homunculus version" of people is actually so creative, it really is elaborate symbolism so even the readers are guessing

✓ Quite a unique premise. A man who is blind, yet thanks to advance technology, his glasses can let him see rough silohettes of things. Then there is a girl, who can predict the future with 90% accuracy, she is wanted since big companies want to exploit her power and get money. What will happen to this unlikely pair of characters ?

✓ Love this one! It is about a boy who remembers his past life as a princess veronica, who died alongside all her friends and subjects, due to an alleged betrayel on another country, who they though they were allies with. Will Veronica in this life be able to find out what really went down? Lots of people, either friends or enemies, also reincarnate, though not all of them has their memories.

✓ This was a painful read! My toxic trait was thinking I could read this and not cry my eyes out, which I was proven very wrong. It's about a boy and a girl who embark on a journey following a long empty road in a war-torn world. It's so very tragic, and I don't think I will ever recover from this. It has a surreal feel to it too, and I believe it's cuz this story is symbolic of our own world and through this, conveys the cruel consequences and horrors of violence/wars

✓ A one-shot that doesn't feel like a one-shot. Created by the same author as "Haikyuu!", King Kid is quick to make the reader invested with its charming and entertaining characters with a super unique premise. I really enjoy how fun and magical the setting is, and it genuinely was pretty moving as it progressed. You definitely won't be disappointed with this at all!

✓A heartbreaking tale following a girl named Ayu, who sells her body for money because she doesn't understand the point of life nor her worth. But she meets this kind old lady, can Ayu be happy or will misfortunes always follow her? I cried nonstop, really is beautiful. Has sequels, see below!

✓ A super gory manga with a satisfying hardcore revenge plot, led by a girl with a pumpkin head, a unique MC to put it mildly! Honestly couldn't stomach some of the scenes in here, like even the first chapter got me feeling queasy but that's just me ig. Be warned, translators are transphobic, racist and etc. which really sucks as they keep uploading chapters with shitty memes, but yeah.

✓ One of my favorite survival post-apocalypse manhwas. You can read it on webtoons for free, so pls do read there if you can, thanks. I love the setting, art, and storyline. It introduces lots of unexpected mysteries and finding out the truth was quite a thrilling ride. Not to mention, the characters have like 100 lives in this with so many near-death experiences, but it's still gets me on the edge of my seat. The art really does add to the story with it's detailed B&W style.

I am a sucker for survival mangas so this is easily a great manga for me. There is also an anime available so check that out as well. There are two endings, "light ending" and "dark ending", not available on mangago unfortunately. Find them here: https://btooommanga.com/ (the light ending is ch26.2, dark ending is 26.1). The fact I knew there was a happy ending, took the emotional investment out of the dark ending but its still good. Binged in one sitting!
