Japanese Manga Recommendation? (not well known ones)

I’ve been told Danganronpa and Hanako-kun are good.

Started reading this new manga that started publishing on Shonen Jump just a couple of weeks ago. It's called Jiangshi X. Brings back nostalgia being a big fan of old Hong Kong vampires starring Lam Ching-Ying.

I will be re-watching this on Disney+ before Season 2 of Visions comes out in May.

I remembered the anime Hanako had high ratings but never gave it a chance.
Will also look into Danganronpa. Thanks!

Where do you read Shonen jump? In particular the recent ones? In what language?

Wanna get away from that franchise. lol.
Still remembered being duped into watching that stupid Mandalorian show.
I watched and watched ... the plot never came - just the metal guy bringing the baby to a destination - that's the plot. (what the hell? lol)
Apparently, people are just fans of the franchise and liked Baby Yoda.

Knowing me, I'll probably still watch and suffer through it anyways

Shonen Jump app. It's in English.

There is this other app that'll let you read it for free in Chinese. But I gave up on reading newer manga due to their use of simplified Chinese. I did manage to read The Mandalorian manga over there.

Steins; Gate is one of my all time favorites. Great Teacher Onizuka as well,

The most recent ones I got into are "To Your Eternity" and "Tokyo Revengers"

I use the Android app called TachiyomiJ2K. Works great on tablets.

MangaPlus is another free manga app you can look into. This app is officially sanctioned by Shueisha and publishes the latest Shonen Jump manga in several different languages. There is a catch. Aside from reading the latest 3 manga chapters, you can only read each existing chapter once. You'll be locked out afterwards.

Onani Master Kurosawa and Sprite are two that I came up with when looking through my list on Manga Updates

Watched about 12 episodes in anime so far... I don't know why it's got high rating. The plot is there, but each episode is like a fillers making it a bit boring. Perhaps the audience is tailored predominantly to kids.

Will subscribe for 2 months. Seemed convenient for someone like me with a 64gb iphone.

At first I thought your recommendations are so well known.
But then a lightbulb came on - much of the existing anime isn't done yet.
That makes Tokyo Revenger an awesome recommendation!
That train of thought opens up a whole bunch of manga to explore into.

I typically hop over to nyaa, and download it to an app called Panels in iOS.
Shonen Jump has its value for people that is carrying phone with small storage space.

Haven't checked those out yet. Thanks for the recommendation! Review looks good.

I've already started using my tablet more since I subscribed.

Typically, manga chapters would delete itself within 7 days so storage space wouldn't matter. And MangaPlus is free so no complaints there

Go watch/read claymore, it has anime but the manga is the source materials. It has a strong female MC which is a good change.

I consider Haikyu!! one of the best sports manga/anime. The manga is finished at 45 volumes. They just released season 4 last year (the soundtrack for the anime is great). Maybe that's too well-known for you.

Yuru Camp is good for slice-of-life. It's still on-going at 12 volumes of manga and 2 seasons of anime.

Bakuman is an old one but I remember really liking it so maybe you haven't read it. It's about a pair of would-be manga writers. If it was accurate, it gave some interesting information about the manga industry. Hmm, it's described as a "best-selling series" so maybe too well-known for you again.
