Manga Obscure Manga

Nidome no Natsu, Nidoto Aenai Kimi

Aa Tokauu Shika Ienai

To be honest, I still have a lot more obscure manga I want to share, but for now I'll share these two so as not to flood the replies. Looking back at my Anilist, I'm surprised I read a lot more manga than I've watched anime. I've always liked reading manga more as I can quickly binge-read it; guess that's how I got to read a lot of obscure manga and stuff.

I'm not 100% sure how obscure these are but I never hear anyone talk about them.

It's weird to think of Rumiko Takahashi as obscure but this one certainly isn't popular like Ranma, Inuyasha, Urusei Yatsura, etc

I've never read those mangas before but I have watched the Gunsmith Cats OVA a year or so ago.

I think Franken Fran is pretty neat

Vanilla Spider, HEAT, and Aku no Musume/Meshitsukai (it was either of those but they're based on vocaloid songs of the same name and have a good story)

Umibe no onanoko, it's basicaly a hentai made by the same guy of goodnight punpun, its pretty crazy, try it

I'll add a few more possibly obscure mangas.

Binbou Shimai Monogatari (Poor Sisters Story)

Do It Yourself!!

Breakin' Girls!

Arigatights!

I've seen the Binbou Shimai Monogatari anime. Does the manga have new material and concludes the story in any way?

Yes it does.

Chronowar by Kasumasa Takayama, an underrated mangaka who worked for Spain doing things like Miyuki Mata and short stories for Garo. The rest of her work remains untranslated. I did an article about the Norma edition some time ago, but it's in spanish.

The Human Clock, by Seiichirō Tokunan: a cult manga about a guy who turns into a clock, the style is very influenced by the Weimar Republic artists, it's an unique thing:

here's more info:

Human Clock: A Horror Manga Classic

Tokunan’s surreal manga almost faded into obscurity. Now it’s a cult favorite.

Blaster knuckle is about a freed slave hunting down demons and vampires in the 19th century that disguise themselves as members of the KKK.
Considering it was made in the 90's it was pretty unique to have a black protag at the time.

 

[Jimbo_McDumbo]

My girlfriend read this as a kid. I picked it up just to see what kind of things she's into. Switch Girl is a fun little romp, though I couldn't find the full translated version

 

[shadowcat]

My favorite obscure manga is Azumi by Yu Koyama. It is a historical fiction manga about how dark and gritty the life of an assassin could be in Feudal Japan. The titular character has to balance her feelings as a woman coming into adulthood with her duties as an assassin. If you like seinen manga, Azumi is a hidden gem.
