This page compiles all the manga-related articles published on this blog.
They are organized by genre.
Battle-type (including ability-type)
Recommended and not recommended death game-themed works
Since there are many works that deal with the theme of death games, we have introduced them on a separate page.
This includes not only manga, but also games and other media.
Manga "Psyche Again" (by Tsubasa Fukuchi) Complete Series (15 volumes) - Introduction and Review
This is a classic battle manga where the protagonist, who has the ability to time travel, repeatedly tries again to fight his enemies.
I'll explore why I found the manga "World Trigger" (by Daisuke Ashihara) interesting.
This is a battle-oriented sci-fi manga that focuses on teamwork, with interesting tactics and strategies.
An article recommending Medaka Box (original work by Nisio Isin), including reviews and ratings.
It's not a purely battle-oriented story; it could be described as a story featuring quirky abilities, wit, and sophistry.
It's not for everyone, but it was fun and gave me a real sense of accomplishment.
Koji Mori's recommended manga, including "Holy Land" and "Suicide Island."
This page introduces the works of Koji Mori, including "Holy Land," "Suicide Island," and "Destroy and Revolution."
They've been categorized into hand-to-hand combat, group survival battles, and superpower battles, but I sense a fundamental theme of celebrating humanity at the core of it all.
Holyland is especially recommended.
Enban Maze (by Kazuyuki Tanaka) - A darts (?) manga that I highly recommend.
This is a battle of wits using darts.
It's a six-volume series that you can read all in one go, and as a battle of wits and deception, it's incredibly well-crafted and highly recommended.
Introduction and review of the manga "Shonen Y" (original story by Hajime, art by Touji Tatsuya)
While it does include elements of a death game, that's not its essence; it's a philosophical work.
SF series
Manga "Astra Lost in Space" (by Kenta Shinohara): Introduction and Review
This is a masterpiece of science fiction manga, featuring adventure, friendship, suspense, and mystery.
Introduction and review of the manga "Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam Define" (by Hiroyuki Kitazume)

Manga "Mobile Suit Gundam CDA: Portrait of a Young Comet" (by Hiroyuki Kitazume) - Introduction and Review (All 14 Volumes)
This work clearly outlines Char's actions from the One Year War to the Gryps Conflict.
History
Recommended manga: War, history, and medieval themes
Due to the large number of entries, they are compiled on a separate page.
This page features "Kingdom," "Shoukoku no Altair," "Wolfsmund," "Ad Astra: Scipio and Hannibal," "Hawkwood," "Historie," "The Heroic Legend of Arslan," "Berserk (around the Band of the Hawk arc)," and "Isaac."
They're all very interesting, but my current top recommendation in this genre is "Shoukoku no Altair".

This is an interesting war fantasy that features characters based on historical events from different eras.

This is a historical romance manga depicting Vlad III, the ruler of the Principality of Wallachia in the 15th century.
Mahjong-related
A compilation and reviews of recommended mahjong manga.
Due to the large number of entries, they are compiled on a separate page.
This page introduces "Akagi," "Saki," "Tetsuya," "Mukoubuchi," "Uchihime Obakameeko," "Ura Rate Mahjong Touhai Roku Touhai," "Tetsunaki no Kirinji," and "Muteki no Hito."
It's not very well-known, but I think "Touhai" is top-notch in terms of both content and tension.
