Manga Recommendations

[aTigero]

I'm looking for new manga that have a variety of different and unique characters, with no specific amount in particular - pretty much just manga where there isn't necessarily a main character/main characters and focuses on many different characters rather than a select few, having chapters focused/dedicated to different characters. I have listed some manga below that I enjoy and are similar to what I am looking for.

I'm not particularly fussy about any specific genres/themes, so feel free to chuck me any recommendations you have that you think are good.

Similar manga:

Thank you in advance!

Off the top of my head:
School Rumble or Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun, maybe! They have a range of characters that they focus on.

Today's Shoujoke Manhwa (webtoon) might be suitable here too?? It's trope-smashing and focuses on a lot of characters

AFO Guard also comes to mind, though that's less omnibus so it's kind of a reach. Still has a variety of interesting characters and is funny. Another reach could be Jitsu Wa Watashi Wa, which wasn't really up my alley but others found great. Other interesting casts can be found in Ojojo and Kuzumi-kun, Kuuki Yometemasuka? but they're more focused on the main characters.

There is that one-chapter manga called My Husband too, which would be exactly what you say except I doubt it will ever be updated...

EDIT: HOW COULD I FORGET I left out
Umarekawatte mo mata, Watashi to Kekkon shite kuremasu ka?
...romantic and sad and heartwarming and very interesting and has so many character stories I sometimes don't remember who is who xD
And there's the one-pointer yankee series, ofc

(sorry no links because lazyyy) Hope there might be some reads here you'll enjoy!

this is a good read, fits with your describstion with focusing on so many characters. It left me a good impression

@skillet, you're a legend! Thank you so much for all of the recommendations, I'll be sure to read through them.
@Syanindita, thank you for your recommendation. I found the chapters on aggregator sites, so I'll be sure to have a read through there (despite how much I don't like the aggregator sites).

A bit different genre-wise to your list, but I'd personally vouch for these:

Bokura no Kiseki - "Role identification" mystery with a huge, quite fleshed-out cast (both living and dead). There is a more central, core group of main characters though, so not everyone gets quite the same amount of attention. Still a good read.
Melancholia - Collection of short 8-page stories that work both as stand-alone and interlinked within an overarching narrative.
Shuukan Shounen Girl - Another short story collection with a shared cast of "gimmick girls", each with their own chapter.
JoshiMuda, Nichibros - I've been rereading these ones lately and am really liking them. Many other CG(/B)DCT series would probably qualify as well.

No prob! And just because I thought of this like way later, I'd also recommend Love Lab if you haven't read it yet. Top tier interesting cast, with those romances to boot.

 

[aTigero]

@PantsMan, thanks! I'll check them out.

maybe you would like to look into oneshot collections, basically what you are asking for:
News of Transformations
Mangaka Chou Zankoku Monogatari
Nickelodeon
Ichikawa Haruko Sakuhinshuu
Kuuchuu Teien no Hitobito
Itaitashii Love
Happy-Go-Lucky Days
Skyhigh
World Gaze Clips
School Ningyo
and ofc Asano Inio's every anthology possible: Subarashii Sekai / Hikari no Machi / Sekai no Owari to Yoakemae / Asano Inio Tanpenshuu (which is only partly on mangadex for some reason)
well, it quickly got out of hand
