I tend to find myself enjoying rather obscure manga, things not even translated into english. I've alreade written about Baccano! which is a rather mild example, and I wrote a post about the lovely and strange Fuan no Tane.
As for something I haven't already written about I really liked Ibitsu, another horror manga. It's about a boy who encounters a Strange Lolita girl at the trash dump. Way better than it sounds but I don't have the energy to explain what happens while avoiding spoilers.
Another very underrated manga (once again, horror, though this one is more a thriller than anything) is Doubt. It was one of the first mangas (or whatever the plural of manga is...) I read.
It's about a group of teenagers who all play a game called Rabbit Doubt, a game where the players are rabbits and one of them are randomly assigned to be the wolf and hunt down the others, who must find and kill the wolf before they die. These players decide to meet up in real life and get involved in a real life version of Rabbit Doubt. Will they find the wolf before time is up?
Read Doubt here to find out!
Neither one of these have been translated but Baccano is a lot more popular than the others, followed by Doubt, Ibitsu and then Fuan no Tane. Fuan no Tane doesn't even have a TvTropes-page and that's sad.
