This thread is for sharing some great Manga, Manhwa, Manhua and webcomics you've found, which aren't particularly well known.

Some top recommendations from me:

1.
Name:Oyaji
Length: 24 chapters
Ongoing: No
Synopsis: Hardass oldtimer tries to make good with his estranged family before it's too late.

At some times completely over the top and highly violent, at others very down to earth.
At all times, manly.

Scared, he runs away from humans but is helped by his friend Kai, who joins him in his flee from civilization. He then becomes involved in a conflict between human and Ajin and must choose a side.

7.
Name: Fisheye Placebo
Length: 10 chapters
Ongoing: Yes (although temporarily cancelled)
Synopsis: Vance just wanted to make the most out of his college experience under an authoritarian regime, and if that meant hacking into the university to assign himself a hot female roommate, then so be it. The last thing he expected was to be dragged into a crazy conspiracy to overthrow the government by his most-definitely-not-female roommate. College was meant to be exciting, but not this exciting. Between failed dates, failed grades, and successful hacks, Vance will slowly begin to question the morality of his actions and the true price of freedom.

World Trigger - about 75 chapters - ongoing.

Bakuman - made by the same two genuises who made Death Note - complete - 176 chapters

Code Breaker - about 230 chapters - i think it's complete

Deadman WonderLand - 58 - complete - about 30-45 pages per chapter

History's strongest disciple kenichi - 583 - complete

Katekyo Hitman Reborn - 409 - complete - the story really begins at chapter 62,before then is like filler,so i suggest reading just the first 20 chapters to get to know the characters.

Nisekoi - 145 - ongoing - romantic comedy

Shaman King - 300 - complete

Shaman King Flowers - ongoing - 27 - 30-45 pages per chapter

Toriko - ongoing - about 300

HXH>these manga's
I've read HXH, not belittling your opinion, but I'd have to disagree

The last one sounds awesome. Wonder why it's cancelled. :/
It's a shame, it's only temporary though. The art etc. is incredible, so I wouldn't be surprised if it took 3 weeks to 1 month per chapter

Will try the third one
That's probably my favorite one. Takes a few chapters to get going though

some of these acc look sick...

I dunno if it is well known but assassination classroom is brilliant. So is World Trigger and Extreme hell :high school of martial arts and
Assassination Classroom is 11th on the 2014 Manga Sales charts... it's very well known!

I used to read World Trigger but got bored at chapter 21, it had a strong start though!

Extreme hell sounds interesting though! Thanks for the recommendation!

World Trigger - about 75 chapters - ongoing.
Already read

Read it through to the end, was amazing!

Katekyo Hitman Reborn - 409 - complete - the story really begins at chapter 62,before then is like filler,so i suggest reading just the first 20 chapters to get to know the characters.
I swear that's one of the most well known Manga out there....

Nisekoi - 145 - ongoing - romantic comedy
About 14th (or thereabouts) on the 2014 Manga sales, hardly "not-so-well-known" :p

Shaman King - 300 - complete
F*cking right! Love that Manga

Shaman King Flowers - ongoing - 27 - 30-45 pages per chapter

That's a really popular one!

Terraformars.

Code Breaker.
Terraformars is really popular! The others sound good though

Who said Kinnikuman is not well known?
Me. Since it's not even got its own thread section, even though it's the forefather of all Shounen and exclusively within Japan ranks in the top 10 all time sales. Whereas outside of Japan I've never heard it mentioned.

Green Blood Wiki said:
The end of the civil war signalled the start of the industrial revolution in the United States and immigrants from all over the world travelled to find their American dream. But what awaited the majority of them was poverty, discrimination, and hopelessness. Manhattan, New York was full of immigrants flooding through the ports and the 6th district, Five Points, was considered at the time, the world’s worst slum. The mobsters corrupted the entire area, including the police by paying them off; Five Points was the mob’s territory and they were the law.

But even Five Points, where there seemed to be nothing but robbery, prostitution, and murder, showed some signs of hope. Luke Burns was an honest and righteous teenager who realized that the mob was the cause of their harsh lifestyle and that joining the mobsters would not bring him the American dream. But his older brother, Brad Burns, had become an assassin for the biggest mob group of Five Points, the Grave Diggers, a secret he kept from Luke for his own protection. Brad was known as the Grim Reaper and his reputation preceded him as a ruthless and skilled killer.

One day Mr. Ryuga, who was attempting to become a teacher at Duel Academy challenges Jaden to a duel. If he won the duel he'd be accepted as a teacher and he would expel Jaden for no good reason. Jaden wins despite his opponent cheating.

Later he faces the undefeated Obelisk Blue student Chazz Princeton in a duel. Chazz was currently going though troubled times due to the fact people thought he only got into Obelisk Blue because of his money. He was so upset that he buried his best card; "Light and Darkness Dragon", which was also his spirit partner. Jaden beats Chazz, sending him into more depression after Jaden says that his Winged Kuriboh was a spirit monster. Chazz realized his mistake and dug up his "Light and Darkness Dragon" and vowed to defeat Jaden alongside it...............

It starts of where Ganta; the protagonist, is at school with some friend, going into the classroom. They are seated and Ganta spots a "flying red man" out the window. An "explosion" happens and all of his classmates are slaughtered leaving only him alive. He tries to attack the "red man", code named "Wretched Egg". After that he goes to a hearing and is falsely accused guilty of slaughtering his class and is sent to a prison, Deadman Wonderland. He manifests powers which are a bi-product of the "Wretched Eggs" power which would be akin to blood bending I suppose. Anyway, he seeks revenge for his classmates and in prison meets a friend that he "forgot" about, Shiro. Amongst the other prisons in Deadman Wonderland are other "Deadmen"; people with "Wretched Egg's" offspring power similar to Ganta. Don't want to say much else about it without spoiling.

I have been reading OnePunch-Man for a few months now, and been reading UQ Holder since it came out; but have started and caught up to Ajin and started reading Dice because of this. Both are good manga. As Corazon said, Toriko is another amazing manga, though has started taking a major spotlight I think.
