Manga Obscure Manga

[VampireLord1024]

Much like my Obscure Anime forum, I'd like to make one about any obscure mangas out there or mangas that may be obscure. I'll be adding ones that I would guess may be obscure, since I honestly don't know if they really are or not.

Chicchai Senpai ga Kawaisugiru (My Short Senpai Is Way Too Cute) & it's two sequel mangas

Getsuyoubi no Tomodachi

I'll add more mangas that I think may be obscure later on.

Curious, so I'm asking: what's the basis for "obscure" in this case? I mean, if I go "Ciguatera" to every human I personally know, I know two people who might know it. But it was published in multiple countries, and just isn't the kind of thing that's going to be on the level of a DBZ or whatever.

Possibly "obscure" in the sense of no one talks about it in general or anymore.

I don't have a list handy, but boy have I read a ton that would fall under this designation.

Almost all anime had a manga first... So i'll put Polar Bear Cafe... Absolutely LOVE this series.

This is a comedy manga about two boys with free time after school who just sit on a bunch of stairs, talk, and watch people go by.

This manga is hilarious and an absolute trip. It’s written by the same guy who wrote ODD TAXI, and it shows—seemingly random characters return, events get recontextualized, and the ending ties everything together beautifully. It’s only eight volumes, and they fly by. READ IT!!

Note: There’s also a live-action adaptation, but I’ve never watched it.

youd probably like the drama its pretty faithful. keeps the same laid back atmosphere and dry humor, they dont make any big changes to make it "feel more like a movie" so they still hang out in that same spot throughout most of it and all. overall its an alright adaptation

Oh, good to know. I want to check it out just to know how they do the ending, if they do the same as the manga or original.
