Book Riot's Vernieda Vergara collected some of the most influential manga series from the 1970s through today like the birth of Akira Toriyama's genre-defining Dragon Ball, Hajime Isayama's post-apocalyptic epic tale of heroism and man-eating giants, and Naoko Takeuchi's Bishojo Senshi Sailor Moon that launched magical girls into the future. This list also runs the gamut of LGBTQ+ romance, fantasy, historical, horror, and everything in between.
