Great yet not very popular

[AsAsN]

Most of us have a manga we like that just doesn't have the popularity it deserves. Why not share them here. And don't forget to add it's main genre and why u like it.

It's a slice of life cooking manga with absolutely beautiful food. Fun and relaxing to read. 😋😍

I've written essays on why I think this manga is well written, but damn is it heavy as hell

This one is not about politics, but the name probably makes people stay away from it: Trump

Spoiler

Just a few recent comments.....

Though it might be good to read the first ~50 chapters as fan-translations from Easy Going Scans because the manwha started when LINE Webtoon just launched and it looks like their translators weren't good at that time, but it got better.

Fantasy, mystery, ¿romance?

What i like are the interesting world and rules, massive cast that is pretty well used, how it evolves art and plot wise given it's deceptive first season (lots of fanservice and cheesy moments).

When can one say a Manga is unpopular?

Low rating?
Low bookmark count?
Low view count?

Some good & popular were completed & fully scanlated before MangaDex was born.
Without updates they lack visibility, hence less views.

Personally, I expected that a long running manga like Azumi would have a higher view count.
But I can understand why some would turn away after seeing the initial dramatic violence.

I'd like to introduce more people interested in IT to Kings' Viking.

It's worth a read for how detailed it is alone.

I like Yamcha and the reason the person was reincarnated was believable.

If you like the paranormal and the high school delinquent girl aesthetic, then try giving Delinquent Exorcist Reina a read. It's got just the right mix of horror and comedy. I'd say if you don't like it after the first chapter it's probably not for you.
