Manga for Adults
Manga isn't just for kids! These are titles intended for more mature audiences, including my personal recs and influential, well-known and bestselling titles that are available in English. Whether it's frank discussions of mental illness, abuse, LGBTQIA+ issues, violence, sexuality, horror or dark fantasy, these are manga that either originally ran in seinen (young adult men) or josei (young adult women) magazines, or I've otherwise broadly categorized through research as "not for for kids."

Bisexual Books

Popular Early 2000 Mangas
A collection of Manga published in the early 2000. While some portrayals of social problems might not have aged well, they are an open door to a time where many older Manga readers grew up in. They serve as a contrast to today's norms and standards and might reflect one's own journey of emotional growth.
