Three Days of Happiness which is actually the light novel title. The manga adaptation title is "I sold my life for ten thousand yen per year" but I like the LN title more. I recommend reading the author's afterword in the LN if you finished the manga.
I also like The Flowers of Evil.
Kaguya-sama: Love is War. The manga itself is great but reading it live and discussing it on the old site elevated the experience even more. While I wasn't the biggest fan of the ending, everything else was just so good it's hard for me to give it anything but a 10.
I only read The Promised Neverland and Nisekoi: False Love, so they are my only favorites.
Too many to list, honestly.
If I had to pick a (relatively) recent one one the top of my head, it would be Fuuka by Kōji Seo.
I get you, it's the same thing but with video games for me
I don't know that I can pick any one favorite, it's more like they come and go at different times. My current favorite is probably what I wrote about this week in the general thread, The Moon on a Rainy Night, but that is surely heavily influenced by recency bias.
A handful of other favorites of mine would be (tried hard to limit myself to 5):
Dungeon Meshi
Yotsuba&! is great! I wish it got more recognition is a hilarious manga rather than just a stepping stone for Japanese learners.
My favorite though is Kaguya-sama: Love is War. The characters are all insane in the most perfect ways. Skip and Loafer is a close runner-up though; I love its characters for all being so grounded they feel more like people than manga characters. It's a very different feel than I get from other manga.
Yotsuba is like the foster's home for imaginary friends of the rising sun imo, it's that underrated
Currently:
My gf loves girl's last tour! Haven't read it myself though
Claymore is fantastic. It's also one of those series where the art improves massively over the course of its production, and it's fascinating to see.
It starts off looking a bit wonky and uncanny, but once it gets going, there are some panels that are straight up masterpieces in their own right.
Fav manga.
Long list but I'll list the one I've reread the most.
Standard shonen but more mature than most. It got beat out by Bleach so it never got animated. Still completed story though cut short.
