-Konjiki no Gash Bell by Makoto Raiku (European/American title: Zatch Bell!) - Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas by Shiori Teshirogi (spin-off of the franchise Saint Seiya created by Masami Kurumada) - Koe no Katachi (known also as “A Silent Voice/The Shape of the Voice”) by Yoshitoki Oima - Sherlock by Jay. This is the manga adaptation of the BBC’s series with the same name, starring Benedict Cumberbatch as the main character. Until now they’re only three volumes, which adapted only the first season. - The promised neverland by Kaiu Shirai and Posuka Demizu (absolutely worth to be bought and read) - Sora no Otoshimono by Suu Minazuki - Sakamoto desu ga by Nami Sano (this is one of the most funniest thing ever) - Chō no michiyuki by Kan Takahama (known also as “Flight of the Butterflies”) - Marie Antoinette, La jeunesse d'une reine by Fuyumi Soryo - Guardians of the Louvre by Jiro Taniguchi - Full Metal Alchemist by Hiromu Arakawa - Shingeki no Kyojin / Attack on Titan by Hajime Isayama - Heads by Kaigo Higashino and Motoro Mase - El Shaddai: Exodius (one of the spin-offs dedicated to the game El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron, placed as a prequel of the principal story). Since it wasn’t released officially in any other languages, if you want I link the English scans on mangago. - Soul Eater by Atsushi Ohkubo (trust me, the manga is way better than the anime) - Pandora Hearts by Jun Mochizuki (same here) - Fruits Basket by Natsuki Takaya (same her as well, think that the anime covered only the first six volumes... of 23 :D So you can imagine.) - Shugo Chara by Peach-Pit (man, I read it more than seven years ago, such long time passed since then xD) - Saint Young Men by Nakamura Hikaru - A lollipop or a bullet by Kazuki Sakuraba and Iqura Sugimoto - Kuroshitsuji by Yana Toboso (known as “Black Butler”)

I want to make a note for another one: the manga adaptation of Gankutsuou, created by Mahiro Maeda himself, the director of the anime. The tone and the atmosphere are way more darker, things are way more explicit,  and most of the situations were represented differently from its animated counterpart. And dude, when you will read it you would be glad to not be Villefort, I swear.

Just found this picture and omg I cant believe she met bill nye the science guy😂💗

As an avid watcher of K-Dramas I spend a significant amount of time binge watching entire seasons at a time. And there’s nothing that I hate more than dedicating precious K-Drama watching time to a show that ends up being nothing more than a complete and utter disappointment. 

Now it does happen now and then that a drama that has been fantastic up to the very end when it turns into a show that leaves you empty inside, like Scarlet Heart Ryeo. However, that doesn’t make the show bad, just heart wrenching and soul crushing, but in a good way. The kind of way that once you’ve gotten over the heartbreak you spend the time re-watching it with a friend just to see them experience the crushing depression you did and then spend hours writing fanfiction to make yourself feel better (”How it Should Have Ended” fan fiction K-Drama Edition to come in the future).

However, there are the shows that are such complete and utter shitshows that you’re left wondering why you spent the time? Time you will now never get back. 

Never fear, below I have compiled a list of K-Dramas rated from Favorite to Not Worth the Watch. Since this is just a list, there will be very little description of each show however in the future, expect reviews and rants about each of these dramas and why they were great or why they were horrible. And I hope this running list helps you pick  your next binge watching project! Let me know if there are any of your favorites that I’ve left off and I will make sure to watch it and place the series accordingly!
