r/Seinen

Highly subjective of course. And likely lacking some series, since I'm not even close to having read everything out there. If you see something missing, please tell the chat, or forever hold you peace.

The series are:

Usuzumi no Hate

Fool Night

#DRCL Midnight Children

Mujina Into The Deep

Under Ninja

Gekikou Kamen

Clevatess - The King of Dark Beasts, the Baby, and the Undead Hero

Kijin Gentoshou

Gantz: E

Goblin Slayer

Special mentions:

Berserk: One of the most important (and best) Seinen, but after Miura's passing its been more of an afterword than an actual series. Still glad to have it, though.

Re Cervin: Good but only 16 chapters scanlated so need to see more.

Shonen that would have made the list if they were published as Seinen:

Centuria, Tower Dungeon, Dai Dark, Tank Chair, Choujin-X, Yajin Tensei

Edit: Extra Seinen mentioned by other users:

Just finished maison ikkoku and holy shit was it a disappointing ride. Widely considered as one of rumiko takahashi's finest works i went into it with pretty high expectations. Also because I'm a huge romance buff and the synopsis was right up my Alley.

But as I was reading, the flaws of the manga were painfully apparent. I, for one, am a huge advocate for slow burn romances and stories in general. But this was just frustrating. Each slight development in the relationship was effectively forgotten and thrown away in the next chapter for a gag or drama. This happens for the first 140 chapters. That's almost 90% of the whole manga.

The characters also are just straight up frustrating. This is more of an extreme subjective take but i feel rumiko wanted to make a "charming but lovable" cast and completely failed in doing so.

The ending was admittedly good but could have been reached in a much more satisfying or even quicker way.

What are your thoughts?

Killy, Cibo, and Dhomochevsky finished! Let's gooooooo. Anyways thanks to everyone who upvoted, commented, supported, to all of my fanarts here in this wholesome subreddit. Tsutomu Nihei's works are one of my favorite inspirations to create art, and I still have my passion burning to create my own rendition or version of existing media, and hope to create my own original too.

By the way, love y'all, and thank you...

I'm currently on chapter 21, but scenes are amazing. It will be my first manga to complete. I loved the theme.

Do you guys know any finished manga that has a relation with ocean or story based in a post-apocalyptic world or has good biological world building ?

Another wholesome seinen romance manga that I really enjoyed. It kinda reminds me of Neko no Otera no Chion-san, both are set in rural Japan, with a high school boy falling for his older childhood friend. It’s basically the same 😂, I guess I got 2 cakes, love both manga
