weird/groundbreaking/original manga (original) (raw)

As the title says, a copilation of the weirdest, most groundbreaking, and overall most original mangas i've read. This includes original stories, stunning art-style, etc.

Manga, 5 vol, 2019Me:- Author:10

Weird art style, deforming the shape of the character bodies to convey feelings and emotions. Incredibly deep philosophical story.

Manga, 5 vol, 1996Me:- Author:9

Really unique art-style and interesting story-telling structure. By Taiyo Matsumoto

Manga, 8 vol, 2006Me:- Author:7

Made by Taiyo Matsumoto. It's less strange than ping pong in the storytelling however it still features the same art-style

Manga, 3 vol, 1993Me:- Author:8

By Taiyo Matsumoto, surreal story and setting for a superhero/action manga

Manga, 3 vol, 2001Me:- Author:9

According to wikipedia, the mangaka for this did hard drugs and then wrote stuff related to the things they saw while drugged. The art is absolutely amazing and the story is also really unique, however this manga was set in a hiatus a long while ago and it will probably never return.

Panpanya is a great surreal writter, the art is totally original, the stories are wack, however, they only really do anthologies

Manga, 1 vol, 2009Me:- Author:9

Another work of panpanya, same opinion as Kani ni Sasowarete

Another work of panpanya, same opinion as Kani ni Sasowarete

Manga, 1 vol, 2019Me:- Author:9

Sci-Fi antholoy, probably less strange than panpanya, but it still features some really amazing story-telling, I honestly would really like to see any of these stories be pushed into a full serialization

Manga, 1 vol, 2019Me:- Author:9

Another work by the same author or Yuugai Muzai Gangu, this one in my opinion is weaker, than the previous one, however if you enjoyed that one, you will probably like this one

Manga, 1 vol, 2004Me:- Author:8

Not Simple is a one volume long manga with a pretty inusual artstyle and ideas, it is by the same author of Saraiya Goyou.

Manga, 8 vol, 2005Me:- Author:8

Same mangaka as Not Simple, a really original take on the samurai genre, not really being action but being more focused on the drama, same art-style as not simple.

Manhwa, 2 vol, 2012Me:- Author:8

This is an almost episodic manwha with a fairly unique premise and art-style

Manga, ? vol, 2011Me:- Author:8

Very similar to panpanya's work in many aspects, however this is not an anthology, and it's more explicit in certain sections. However, even if it is still ongoing, there is no one actively scanlating it, so if you're an scanlator reading this. Please consider continuing the scanlation of termina, it's a really good manga I promise

Manga, 13 vol, 2012Me:- Author:9

Fairly Unusual setting and story, art-style isn't the most exciting except in certain sections where negative space is used to make very unique panels.

Manga, 20 vol, 2008Me:- Author:10

Probably the least weird of all of these, however, even if the art is pretty standard, it does feature some art-style changes. The story is incredibly original, kinda like 20th century boys by the same mangaka but with a more strange plot

Manga, 2 vol, 2015Me:- Author:7

Unusual setting and character design, very abstract storytelling

Manga, 2 vol, 2017Me:- Author:8

2 volume manga, unconventional and very emotional story. Art is interesting
