[7 / 5 / 6]
I'm looking for some manga recommendations. My only requirement is that the art be good and that there be some really nice two-page spreads once in a while, but otherwise I'd like recommendations based on any of these criteria, not necessarily all of them but as many as possible:
>Extremely well thought-out; the mangaka obviously had a vision from the start and didn't have to retcon anything later on, or explain things from early on that they didn't think through well enough later on in the story
>Shocking; surprises or twists. Characters that seem to have plot armor being suddenly killed, the genre of story completely changing midway through, massive revelations occurring which turn all past events on their heads from new context, etc.
>Mature; not necessarily in themes, but in the story's handling of certain tropes. Characters don't start monologuing or describing special moves in extreme depth, no deus ex machina moments, no mary sues, etc. The reader is treated like an adult that can figure things out on their own without having their hand held
>Unrepetitive; fight scenes don't feel all the same, dialogue doesn't feel like it's all about the same handful of pseudo-philosophical concepts being spoken directly by the mangaka to the viewer using characters as a mouthpiece
I'll take any genre except for comedy or ecchi stuff unless there's a point to them like using the comedy or ecchi for twists or whatever
