Manga and Stuff recommends stuff: 2025 edition

Here's a list of manga I can wholeheartedly recommend.

Apologies for flooding your dash with emojis like this, but this seemed like the clearest and easiest way to do this rating system.

Explanation of each symbol:

1 - 5 rating for intensity or amount of these themes: 💀 = contains graphic violence / gore / Body horror 🌧 = handles traumatic themes such as abuse or grief 😂 = comedic elements 🌼 = Calm / light-hearted 🔞 = Adult oriented (contains explicit nudity, sex, etc.) 👀 = very different from the most recent anime/movie adaption

Yes or No ratings: 👶 = suitable for younger audiences (~ age 12 and up) 🚀 = Quick read (less than 6 Volumes) 🎨 = interesting / distinctive art-style 💞 = Story primarily focuses on romance ⭐ = Personal favorite

Example: This rating (🚀 💀💀💀💀💀 🔞🔞😂) would indicate the the manga: - is a quick read - contains a lot or very intense violence / gore / body horror - contains some nudity / sex scenes here and there - has a few funny scene

Cnetizens: U.S. hackers, stop, you affect me fortune-telling

Lately, Chinese people have been using DeepSeek for everything—dating (treating it like CAI), fortune-telling (using traditional Chinese methods like Liu Yao六爻 and the I Ching周易), finding lost stuff, writing novels, translating, and solving math problems. But every day, as soon as American hackers wake up, they start relentlessly attacking DeepSeek. This makes the service super laggy or even crash in the middle of the night for Chinese users. So, they just go to sleep. By the time they wake up the next day, the American hackers are finally hitting the sack, and Chinese users can happily use DeepSeek again.

Some emoji have different meaning in chinese internet slang (there are a lot of non-chinese speakers on xhs now so this is for better conversation in the comment section for them)

🙂🙃=🙄(fake smile, impatient, unfriendly, but middle aged and senior people probably use the first two as friendly emoji)

😀😃 (It can mean friendly or it can mean 'yes and?' or 'so what?' especially in fandom fights)

🤏（this one is rude in a funny way, it means small dicks, sometimes people use 👌 as the alternative）(It started when a Korean idol used this gesture with no ill intentions which turned out to be blocked by the Korean news because they took it as an insult to Korean men, and Chinese netizens thought it was hilarious, and then it became popular)

For non-chinese speaker on xhs, every chinese social platform has its own different official meme system, all of them are interesting, some of them seem friendly but not actually friendly, it's best not to confuse them, a lot of netizens hate certain specific memes and will think you're provoking them especially when your translation goes wrong lol (never use google translation) But don't worry, just use it as you please and be yourself someone will tell you anyway, and it really depends on the context.
