Choujin X is my #1 ongoing rn. Make the Exorcist Fall in Love and The Summer Hikaru Died are also Great ongoings. For older stuff I'd rec Holyland if you like fighting stuff. Dorohedoro is also amazing.

My fav manga of all time is BLAME! by Tusomu Nihei

cyber horror action thriller with less than a thousand total words spoken. Most of it is just silent pictures and the artwork is INCREDIBLE

If you're into unique illustrations( with a focus on form and utilising space emotively) I'd definitely recommend Houseki no Kuni aka Land of the Lustrous.

{Fun fact:  my name is kinda inspired by Phos. Except I am organic and contain phospholipids not phosphophyllite lol}

It is about a group of humanoid, genderless gems living on an island far in the future, when humanity is long gone, and the earth has additional moons. With the guidance of their mysterious sensei, they ward off attacks from bodhisattva-like beings from the moon, who they're told collect them for jewellery.

Phosphophyllite, the main character, is too weak to fight and not particularly good at anything. They want nothing more to be strong, and are willing to put themself in danger for it..

Its also got probably the only anime for which the CGI is a highlight.

The manga that I truly loved reading was Arisa by Natsumi Ando, and it was actually my first manga. It's like a young adult mystery suspense genre. But I was and still am absolutely obsessed with the series. It's about 12 books long but it was worth it. (^▽^)👍

I've most recently completed Girls' Last Tour and it's about two girls in a post apocalyptic setting. They live in a massive layered city and are trying to reach the top to see if any humans have regrouped there. It's cute and bittersweet and also has a unique artstyle that I'm into!

you guys need to get on dorohedoro!! it has such a great story and a good cast of characters. it might not be for everyone but so far, everyone ive met who’s read it fell in love with it. 

definitely give it a chance if you’re into jjba, yakuza or golden kamuy. i see so many intersections between these fanbases

FullMetal Alchemist, if you haven't read it or are planning to watch Brotherhood (please read the manga first or at least read the first few volumes)

If you've already read FMA, and are a fan of Zelda, then read the Zelda manga, the art is beautiful and the adaptations are wonderful!

I’ve really enjoyed Land Of The Lustrous lately. Also some big ones like Chainsaw Man, Goodnight Punpun, anything by Junji Ito, and of course, Tokyo Ghoul!

the top ones i'm reading rn are

usotsuki

kedamonotachi no jikan

usotsuki satsuki shi ga mieru


the top is a romantic story

but last 2 r "horror"

the 2nd needs a trigger warning; r*pe, kidnapping, m*rder, i*cest, things of tht nature.

i personally connect with that 1, but I also understand if it makes some1 else shut down so read @ ur own discretion

for some psychological fuck up shit, id go with blood on the tracks by shuzo oshimi. be warned though its pretty unsettling at times. just for a normal personal favorite and more popular manga of mine id suggest reading the promised neverland by kaiu shirai and posuka demizu. the animes really good too and id also recommend that if youve never seen it (theres only 12 episodes because the second season, we just pretend it never happened).

cetnaur no nayami is a good one if you're into the regular lives of monster girls and how realistically different monster species would coexist. alice in borderland is a good manga and very suspenseful. golden kamuy is a somewhat comedic but also very suspenseful and good historical manga. dorohedoro is a good and atmospheric horror manga. innocent and innocent rouge are also very good historical manga, which beautiful art and a tragic plot, but there is a lot of graphic gore scenes, so i'd warn you about that.

I recommend Kimetsu no Yaiba! The characters and story intrigue me, so hopefully people will agree as well!

i recommend

 Boys run the Riot by Keito Gaku if you want to read about a transman in japan although it does talk about other identities like non-binary 
My love Mix-up by Wataru Hinekure its a cute lil BL idk if its get problematic later but so far its super sweet
How Do We Relationship by Tamifull its a super cute GL it does talk about some triggering things like assault i believe just fyi 
Wotakoi by Fujita its a really sweet series about ppl in their late twenties which is refreshing the only thing i dont like a bout it is that one of the main characters is a fujoshi
Chainsaw Man by Tatsuki Fujimoto its really good i started reading it a bit ago and i love it
