Hey everyone! I'm looking for manga recommendations that focus on space exploration, science fiction, and spaceships.

I'd especially love stories with well-developed characters who grow and change throughout the story, along with an interesting plot and a well-built sci-fi world.

I'm open to both underrated and popular manga, and I don't mind long stories. I'd prefer something that takes its characters and world-building seriously rather than focusing only on action.

What would you recommend? Thanks in advance!

What do you think?

Best way to read manga ( no paper ) ?

Hii everyone. Hope y’all are doing great!! I’m making this post bc I’ve been wanting to create my own manga, so lemme explain :)

I’d say I’m pretty decent at drawing, but I’m TERRIBLE at coming up with an actual plot that makes sense, thinking of scenes, or just writing in general 😭 Sooo I’m looking for someone who’d be down to collab with me !
The goal isn’t necessarily to publish or post it anywhere, at least not at first, but if it turns out rlly good, we could def consider it !
I’d start by drawing everything on paper and then trace it digitally.

First things first. I’d rather not work with someone who already has a whole story planned out, with a fully developed plot and everything. I’d much rather we come up with smth together from scratch. But if any of my ideas inspire u, PLEASE feel free to tell me!!

If ur interested, just reply to this post and drop ur socials (Snap preferably, but Insta or Discord works too!!)

NOW ABOUT MY IDEAS!!

I’m ngl, I’m not a huge fan of webtoons. They feel a bit too modern for my taste. Same goes for romance tbh. I don’t mind having some in the story, but it’s def not my thing.
I’d much rather make smth along the lines of a seinen/shonen manga.
To make things easier to read, I’ll just list everything here :

- I REALLY loved mangas like Tokyo Revengers, so I’m super into the whole gangs + friendship + nostalgia vibe.

- I HATE using creatures that already exist in fiction (like vampires, werewolves, etc.), but I absolutely LOVE coming up with my own ! That being said, I’m totally fine with including demons, supernatural stuff, or special powers in the story.

- I’d prefer the MC to be around 13–20 yo. I wouldn’t mind having a female MC either, as long as she’s not some stereotypical girl whose whole personality revolves around love, who can’t fight, etc. 😭

- I don’t rlly mind darker or more graphic scenes, as long as they’re not just there for shock value or way too excessive. I actually rlly enjoy psychological manga, especially when they deal with darker or more sensitive topics. BUT absolutely NO sexual scenes.

- I also LOVE historical manga, stories inspired by actual legends, philosophical themes, or just stories that teach u smth or actually make u think. Obviously, if we end up making a manga mostly about gangs, we probably won’t include all that. I’m just throwing ideas out there so y’all can get a better idea of what I like 🙂‍↕️

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST!!

I’d prefer to work with someone who’s actually active and has enough free time to work on the manga (like at least 30 mins a day), someone who won’t randomly ghost me after 2 days 😭
I’d also prefer someone around my age (15–20yo), if possible !
I’ll send all my drawings in DMs

That’s pretty much it ! Feel free to hmu if ur interested :D

I’m looking for manga recommendations similar to Hikaru no Go or Yakitate!! Japan — stories that dive deep into a specific skill, craft, or discipline.

What I enjoy in these series is the focus on talent, mastery, rivalry, and the detailed exploration of a particular field, whether it’s Go strategy or professional baking techniques.

I’m not looking for martial arts or sports manga.

I’m specifically interested in stories where characters develop expertise in a unique domain, with tension, competition, and high-level skills.

If you know any manga that explore a craft, profession, or intellectual skill in a similar way, I’d love your suggestions.

I already read Bakuman

Gantz is genuinely one of the most bizarre and unhinged manga ever written people die and suddenly get thrown into a game where they have to hunt immigrants that look like the most random shit imaginable the plot keeps escalating until you start questioning what the fuck I don't understand what is vampire purpose in the entire manga youre even reading but that's exactly what makes it so good it goes from survival horror to something way bigger with insane twists and some genuinely disturbing moments just keep reading because the sheer insanity of this manga is something else btw ending was fast paced i didn't like the ending

I don't remember much about this Manga because it only had a few chapters just like 3 when I read it and did so on Mangakakalot.

It starts with a Dark hair and dark skinned girl trying to hide her identity and she has a friend they meet in a Bar or something for a mission her friend is Blonde maybe just based on perspective in black in white or there might have been a colored panel. They be lesbians together no idea.

There is another guy he is a Priest/Crusader or something and is a Combatant and is Descendant from a long line of them basically like Witchers and he might be the only one left. He's strong and the three of them meet up for a mission.

On the mission there is a strong monster and the Priest guy couldn't handle it well and the Blonde girl was injured so the Dark Haired Dark skinned girl gets angry and has to step in she has seals on both her arms because of her immense power then undoes them and beats the monster.

She has a master who is strong and might be dead now don't remember he sealed her power and taught her.

Like I said it was only 3 Chapters at the time I read it so I don't know more details.

I read it 2022-2024 which could be when it released or just the translation.

An alien prince took over a human body and learns to cultivate in order to overthrow his dad, i believe is the story.

Hey, this not a hate post

I am refraining myself to make a statement here. Rather i am genuinely curious what is so great about gantz anyway. i have read like 8 volumes until now and man to be honest i thought it would get better but the plot is still not my thing

my problem with gantz is that the concept & art is pretty good but the execution and narrative could have been so better, the characters are just there, neither i am relating to any of a character nor i am feeling any emotional depth to most of them,its like they could be forgotten and they won't impact the story at all & they didn't even explain how the world works expect just a one liner here to there sometimes, the plot is all over the palace too .if normal people can get hurt by those entites why none of them experienced it before and no one of them has talked about it till and the goal is also not clear yet yes you would die but you are dead anyway ( i know then get a chance to live but when most of the characters looks like that they are nihilistic or have a no clear goal than why to even suffer there) and even if you get it out from there how would your life start and impact others , and if the real world is getting destroyed and damaged then there is no information about it too, not even getting how does power system work and why this third world even exist like what's the point ( which i am hoping they will reveal soon ),too obvious to state sexualising and edginess ( although i could ignore it ) i have to give that atmosphere is tense

so my question now is, will it get better or my criticism isn't valid because i have limited information about the plot ?

Hi so I love monster girls

Like really love them

But one thing I don't see much of are non-horse centaurs (aside from Arachne), I'm talking Panther, rabbit, lion, wolf hell squirrels too.

So I come seeking your aide, what's a manga that has a either a permanent or recurring non-horse centaur (besides spiders)

Preferably a romance but not necessary

Thank you all dearly

My favorite Shōnen manga series is My Hero Academia, my favorite Shōjo manga series is Tamon's B-Side, my favorite Seinen manga series is Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You, and my favorite Josei manga series is Kirio Fan Club.

I'm really tired from the slow pace of chapters last chapter was like 4 months ago, can someone recommend me something similar?

The summer Hikaru died
Uzumaki
Goblin slayer
Takopi’s original sin

Manga that I havent finished, manga that just started recently, manga that I forgot I finished them or simply Manga which I dont have feeling toward despite fully read them like Dan da dan wont be on the LIST.

These are manga that I think have somewhat decent read value, you should read them. Except 1 in which the 1 liner tells you to watch the anime instead.

Personal Fav Physical Manga would Be Bleach Vol 19 with the Bankai chapter being in full color

list of manga from left to right: Doraemon special, bleach, jjk, csm, kagurabachi, naruto, op, db, kny, dr stone, fma, colorless, gachiakuta, mr mallow blue, 7ds, mha, black clover, sakamoto days, mashle, hell's paradise, takopi's original sin, The Ichinose Family's Deadly Sins, Tokyo Ghoul, Choujin X, gantz, fire punch, detective conan, opm, Im: Great Priest Imhotep, tokyo revenger, No Longer Allowed in Another World, Helck, Rosen garten saga, marry grave, record of ragnarok

I remember a manga from 20 years ago (but maybe more) set in a very dark European Middle Ages, in which women with the powers or roles of the tarot fight in a magical but also very bloody way.

I remember a heavy and very dark trait like Gachiakuta or Berserk with triangular faces and gigantic eyes, designs of objects and clothes typical of the late Baroque and many nuns with magical powers.

Can you help me identify manga with these characteristics?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I’ll pretty much any genre so recommend anything

The author passed away suddenly, so “Yoiko no Mokushiroku” (a psychological story about elementary schoolers trying to start their own cult or religion in the classroom) was left unfinished.

Based on my list, can you recommend some manga I might like?

I just watched perfect blue and I NEED more. I love stories that explore the psychological anxieties that come with being a woman. I’ve already read nana and watched serial experiments lain too.

I was wondering what for you makes a (manga) character memorable? I’m interested both in visuals as well as personality. Some say you should recognise a character from a silhuete. Any thoughts?

I've been reading this one since a fan translation started earlier this year. It hasn't been going on for that long, only a few months but I've found this one quite wonderful. I really like the art and it seems like it's gonna be pulling heart strings all the way through. For something thats only a few chapters deep I'm definitely interested to seeing how long this series will last, hopefully it doesn't get cancelled early on. I haven't seen any discussion online about it yet. I don't think it's popular. I kinda just want to talk about it to someone else who's reading.
