A collection of amazing manga between 2 and 5 volumes that you can read in a single day !

The reason I have not included 1 volume manga is because I have made a separate stack for them : https://myanimelist.net/stacks/2090

Hidden gems and "out of the radar" manga and manhwa that you probably haven´t heard of if you are new to the medium. Overlooked works. Good for the ones who want to get deeper and already tried the classics, or simply want to scratch the bottom of the barrel.

Criteria:

1. Underexposed and/or underrated works ranked below #2500 in terms of popularity.
2. Only one work per artist. Authors can be repeated, though.
3. No one-shots.
4. Complete scanlations (english)
5. Award-winning works included.
6. Manga from the 100 best-selling are not elegible.

A list of manga ranging from N/A members to under 10,000 members.
Included manga are either N/A in score or over 6.

(I have 2 other obscure manga lists that you can check out. They are currently unlisted due to being taken down from being public stacks)

Manga about protagonists that's lives changed for the better due to a change in how they see the world, themselves and those around them, though there are some that must go through hardships before they are able to change.

The change in these protagonists aren't instant and some of the included protagonists take a long time to change or just have a more natural gradual change that is more apparent once you have gotten further into the story.

Gintama? Ichi the Killer? Gantz? Bleach? GTO? Not today, ma'am

Part 2: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/65827

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.

Nice. Short, completed manga, less than 69 chapters long. For when you don't want to commit to an ongoing or 2 million chapter long piece.

Pt. 2 of this stack: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/50944

An interest stack featuring the top 20 winners of the Kono Manga ga Sugoi!" (This Manga is Amazing! aka このマンガがすごい) annual magazine for 2007 (the year this ranking started!), with female and male winners included. It's a great way to find new and interesting manga to read, and serves as a time capsule for the popular manga of each year.

(There are usually 40 total winners, but I can't track down any site listing all of them from 2007 :( )

This stack will feature both male and female category winners, alternating between the female and male winners (with the exception of first place, since Honey and Clover was the cover for the 2006 stack), from first place to twentieth place.

Note that there can be ties here (usually two-way), and if a category is missing some place (for example, missing 14th place in the male's category), it usually indicates that either its title was not revealed as per the author's request, or there was a tie.

Please feel free to comment/DM if any information is off/missing.
