What's Your Dream Manga That Doesn't Exist?

[Greenfrost]

I might have said this in some other thread years ago, but I would love to read a survival manga where a class of high schoolers time travel to an unromanticized middle ages Europe. It would be a very dark and cruel story, and half or more of the characters would die by the end of the series.

Romance manga not set in school, where the main characters don't squirm in embarassment every five seconds, where they realize their feelings at most after 15 chapters, has no love rival in any direction, ends at most at the 45th chapter.

man... you're just inciting that one guy and his obsession of that one lizard thingy

I guess Taiga is just went a bit too far back in time

I won't answer, you don't need to know my kinks !

More seriously, i have no idea. When i look at the genres i like, it's quite varied and i don't know what they lack, nor how to improve them, nor what i want more from them. So my only answer can only be :

A second Hokuto No Ken or something similar, but better than Soten No Ken or Keiji...

Or a second Dr Stone ?

ok... let's see...
actually the "not set in school" and "short" and "no rival" are very easy,
but the "no squirm in embarrassment" uh... like at all?
that'd be hard if you want the full stone cold faced characters throughout the story.
So I assume at least blushing is acceptable?

I mean... Telework Yotabanashi?
How about Kinyoubi wa Atelier de?
La La La is also a good one. Tho it's more on the drama side, and it's 84 chapters long
Hug Kiss Hug is still ongoing, so I don't know how short it'll be or will there be any rival.

A Villainess manga where the protagonist realises that to survive their "perilous" situation they could simply be nice to others instead of trying to become a hermit all the time. Perhaps the story could even happen in something other than aristocracy gasp

Best thing you can get is romance set in college or, if we are really feeling risky, in university. But you can be sure that we will milk it 'till it's dead.
Joking aside, I agree with your manga length recommendation. Romance alone as a genre is oftentimes not enough to support a story, especially now due to the oversaturation. It doesn't take long for something sugary to turn sickeningly sweet after all.

 

[iMoevious]

a manga specifically about Super GT

I admit to have posted a bit half-heartedly, but since you replied earnestly:
I don't really want emotionless faces, but there is a limit to how much embarass it's shown. There was that one comic about a waitress and a dude and the whole thing was both of them becoming red, stuttering and facing away several times for several chapters. That's the extreme on the other direction but you get my point.
There are actually many romance I'm reading with a good take on embarass so in the end it's a minor point compared to the others.

Maybe "The Savior's Book Café in Another World"?

-
I'd like a manga adaptation of The Book of The New Sun but I doubt it could work, maybe a VN.

ahahahaha
I know that one

 

[Manko-sensei]

A proper manga adaptation of the classics: Nihongi, Kojiki, Genji Monogatari, etc. Or even an original story based on classical literature, for example one chapter for each poem from Tales of Ise. There are some old anime adaptations (Genji Monogatari is one of them, incomplete of course) but I wouldn't recommend any of them.

Manga I'd like to read No. 2.

Set in the generic fantasy world we see now. The main character is an adult man with questionable morals who does stuff like drinking, gambling and not paying his bar tab. He one day gets ahold of a boy slave (age 12 to 14ish?) who is way more responsible than the MC and has to clean up his messes. And, the MC will do stuff like use the boy as collateral in a poker game, lose, then steal him back and everything he lost along with anything valuable, then skip town. Though the whole thing would be part of the MC's plan, and there was a purpose to it.

 

[ghoztkomik]

some thing like One-Punch Man character but in martial art/murim universe

clueless, poor, weird mc, but outclass everyone
i imagine they fight with the enemy using martial art, then mc said "why the hell are you dancing around with sword" then one shot him

almost similar to martial art competition arc at one punch man. mc think that martial art is just fighting with cooler pose

 

[panzerkampfwagyu]

A manga that has depths in a similar manner to the marathon trilogy or the blue prince.
First read, it's a generic story, though there is one twist at the end that calls some things into question, that upon reread reveals some details that reframe the entire thing.
However, the details also have a twist attached that make you pay attention to a different detail.
I want it so that the people who are at their tenth rereading are considered still early in their experience.

 

[panzerkampfwagyu]

though for a more reasonable idea, I'd just like a honest fantasy story that doesn't feel like it strictly adheres to the "marketable" formula for no discernable reason, has well-developed characters, non-standard worldbuilding elements, so a mix of creativity, honesty and well-writteness.

I feel like Dungeon Meshi fits that pretty well

yeah, Dungeon Meshi did feel that crave, I want more of it though.

Seems like this baseball isekai is heading in that direction.
despite the title, they're doing some actual science there

Currently, there are only 3 pure fantasy manga on my list that I would give a 10/10.
(And I'm very stingy with ratings)
One is indeed Dungeon Meshi, the other one is more in the romance fantasy side, so I doubt you're gonna like it.
And that leaves us with Magus of the Library

I suppose I'll write down a real pipe dream.
An isekai without videogame elements.

That's all. It can be a body transfer, a reincarnation or what have you; I'm ok with blatant wish fullfillment beyond common sense; I'm partial towards harems but whatever, let them have it; I don't care if the power ups are through effort or just because the right items were picked up at the right time.
Get rid of status screens, numbers and skill points, the end.
