As the title says, a copilation of the weirdest, most groundbreaking, and overall most original mangas i've read. This includes original stories, stunning art-style, etc.
Shimeji Simulation
Manga, 5 vol, 2019 Me:- Author:10
Weird art style, deforming the shape of the character bodies to convey feelings and emotions. Incredibly deep philosophical story.
Ping Pong
Manga, 5 vol, 1996 Me:- Author:9
Really unique art-style and interesting story-telling structure. By Taiyo Matsumoto
Takemitsuzamurai
Manga, 8 vol, 2006 Me:- Author:7
Made by Taiyo Matsumoto. It's less strange than ping pong in the storytelling however it still features the same art-style
Tekkon Kinkreet
Manga, 3 vol, 1993 Me:- Author:8
By Taiyo Matsumoto, surreal story and setting for a superhero/action manga
Ultra Heaven
Manga, 3 vol, 2001 Me:- Author:9
According to wikipedia, the mangaka for this did hard drugs and then wrote stuff related to the things they saw while drugged. The art is absolutely amazing and the story is also really unique, however this manga was set in a hiatus a long while ago and it will probably never return.
Kani ni Sasowarete
Manga, 1 vol, 2012 Me:- Author:9
Panpanya is a great surreal writter, the art is totally original, the stories are wack, however, they only really do anthologies
Ashizuri Suizokukan
Manga, 1 vol, 2009 Me:- Author:9
Another work of panpanya, same opinion as Kani ni Sasowarete
Guyabano Holiday
Manga, 1 vol, 2015 Me:- Author:9
Another work of panpanya, same opinion as Kani ni Sasowarete
Yuugai Muzai Gangu
Manga, 1 vol, 2019 Me:- Author:9
Sci-Fi antholoy, probably less strange than panpanya, but it still features some really amazing story-telling, I honestly would really like to see any of these stories be pushed into a full serialization
Gishi Sanjin Den
Manga, 1 vol, 2019 Me:- Author:9
Another work by the same author or Yuugai Muzai Gangu, this one in my opinion is weaker, than the previous one, however if you enjoyed that one, you will probably like this one
Not Simple
Manga, 1 vol, 2004 Me:- Author:8
Not Simple is a one volume long manga with a pretty inusual artstyle and ideas, it is by the same author of Saraiya Goyou.
Saraiya Goyou
Manga, 8 vol, 2005 Me:- Author:8
Same mangaka as Not Simple, a really original take on the samurai genre, not really being action but being more focused on the drama, same art-style as not simple.
About Death
Manhwa, 2 vol, 2012 Me:- Author:8
This is an almost episodic manwha with a fairly unique premise and art-style
Termina
Manga, ? vol, 2011 Me:- Author:8
Very similar to panpanya's work in many aspects, however this is not an anthology, and it's more explicit in certain sections. However, even if it is still ongoing, there is no one actively scanlating it, so if you're an scanlator reading this. Please consider continuing the scanlation of termina, it's a really good manga I promise
Houseki no Kuni
Manga, 13 vol, 2012 Me:- Author:9
Fairly Unusual setting and story, art-style isn't the most exciting except in certain sections where negative space is used to make very unique panels.
Billy Bat
Manga, 20 vol, 2008 Me:- Author:10
Probably the least weird of all of these, however, even if the art is pretty standard, it does feature some art-style changes. The story is incredibly original, kinda like 20th century boys by the same mangaka but with a more strange plot
Kurayami Dance
Manga, 2 vol, 2015 Me:- Author:7
Unusual setting and character design, very abstract storytelling
Ginga no Shinanai Kodomotachi e
Manga, 2 vol, 2017 Me:- Author:8
2 volume manga, unconventional and very emotional story. Art is interesting
The World Is Mine
Manga, 14 vol, 1997 Me:- Author:8
Extremely original old-school manga, really crazy plot that at times it can be hard to follow, really unique dialogue
Innocent
Manga, 9 vol, 2013 Me:- Author:9
Unusual setting and plot with beautiful, very gory, at times very abstract art
Innocent Rouge
Manga, 12 vol, 2015 Me:- Author:9
sequel to innocent, all of the previous apply, except this time the storytelling in some parts get even more crazy
