Critics & Connoisseurs was a club that was founded in 2008 and ended club activities on the 31st of 2022.

The goal of the club was to come up with a list of highly recommended quality shows and manga that are exemplary either within its genre or universally. A manga needed a 70% approval rate in our voting to get on the relation list. The following manga are all part of said list.
Do note that our club's main focus always was anime, our club's readership was relatively low which results in a lot of manga not being able to reach enough votes to get on the relation list despite having a 70% or higher approval rate.

Series which were officially licensed by an English publisher, but were ultimately left incomplete (or not even released). This isn't a very comprehensive list (and older licenses are probably underrepresented), but I aimed to have a variety of examples across different publishers.

Thanks to ertiis for suggestions!
& let me know if there's an error or any suggestions of what to add.

*doesn't include fully released series that went out of print, or series that were published as compilations (ex. Oishinbo, Golgo 13), or license rescues

Potential series: Freezing

List of sleeves for "elitist". These manga have been considered as "deep" animations by various critics and analysts.

In this compilation there are manga with quite complicated stories that are not recommended for all audiences. As they are: cult manga, artistic, experimental, avant-garde, underrated, psychological, philosophical, unique or mind-blowing.

(Ignore my ratings, you should dictate the enjoyment yourself)

What definitely makes manga great would be that it goes over a broad range of themes/topics. Manga isn't afraid of addressing taboo topics, nor does it avoid concepts that most other entertainment mediums WOULDN'T DARE to touch. They also provide an imaginative exploration of how the Japanese perceive these topics. We rarely get cultural perspectives on certain topics.

Includes topics that are rare in animanga compared to other mediums.

Psychological Manga Collection Part (1)

Cyberpunk, Sci-Fi, Dystopia & Post-Apocalyptic mangas.

If Patrick Bateman had a manga list, it would be this one!

Must-read seinen!

Part 2 : https://myanimelist.net/stacks/15200

This manga list is mostly split into two section, until I expand some more: Psychological and Action, these are great genres on their own, but when you blend them together, it's comes as a dark twisted story with an element that also keeps you engaged with it that makes you crave for more chapters. I'll add more as I read but I hope I make someone read them as well. There are classics here as well as underrated gems, most of them are known to an extent but there are some here that you never heard of. Hope y'all mods happy now.

Manga about people surviving in all kind of different situations or environments.


Trying to exclude the "survival game' type stories and I haven't red all of them so maybe some don't really fit.

Hit me up for any recommendations.

A list of science fiction manga from the 80s, 90s and early 2000s. Not even close to comprehensive.
