Other and Alternative Manga

This list contains both manga series and standalone volumes that don't conform to one of the four major established editorial categories of manga -- shōnen, shōjo, josei and seinen. Many of these titles are one-off publications that weren't included in a major magazine. Expect the unexpected with this collection!

This list also includes some manhwa titles -- manga-inspired books created in Korea.
