Life by Keiko Suenude(it's quite fast paced and I really love how the mangaka expresses each characters emotions) Partner by Miho Obana(same mangaka who made Kodancha and it's honestly a masterclass of psychological horror with symbolisms.) Helter Skelter by Kyoko Okazaki(it's a reflection of celeb culture) Haru's Curse(I think its best I don't say much) Baby and Me(I use this mangaka to get the edge off when I read something dark) Neko Mix Genkitan Toraji(another of Yumi Tamura's works) Requiem of the Rose King(it deals with gender identity in medieval times) Hitmitsu: The Top Secret
