Hey, there hope you are doing great. And if you are looking for a manga with some unique storyline to switch from what you are currently watching or reading then I got you.
Here is how I picked the manga in this list:
First of all, they are high-rated manga which has more rating than 4.5/5.
Secondly, my main focus was action, adventure, tragedy, and mystery. I didn’t include romantic manga. Because I personally didn’t like romantic manga, as well as there, are not many romantic mangas that I found while searching.
Slam Dunk (4.8)
Genres: Action, Adult, Comedy, Cooking, Romance, Shounen, Sports
I would like to highly recommend this one to you. The theme of this anime revolves around basketball. And how a newbie becomes a well-renowned player.
This manga follows Hanmich Takamichi who is your normal high school student. But is blessed with good height.
And thus a special encounter with a girl leads him to a basketball field and thus begins his story to be precise a special story.
The manga is filled with comedy and marks my word you will laugh your ass off. But this is not all this manga has to offer its reader it is filled with basketball action as well as romance here and there.
To me, I was mainly attached to this manga because of its comedy. Well if you have already finished this one let me know your thoughts in the comment section below.
Now, if you want to change and are looking for something dark theme and mystery then the next manga might be for you.
Dororo (4.5)
Genres: Shounen
Next up on the list of Top Completed Manga is Dororo. The story of this anime revolves around a ronin during the Sengoku period. And if you decide to read this manga then let me give you some advice at first look you might think about how will this boy will change his life. But trust me to continue with the manga and you will not regret it.
The story of this manga follows a limbless boy it would have been Ok if it was his limbs he didn’t even have an eye, taste gland, or smell gland. This was all due to a curse that had an effect on him when he was in his mother’s fetus but he didn’t give up and now kills demons in order to take his limbs back from them. Whom they took while he was in this mother’s womb.
This manga is full of tragedy and sorrow so if you can’t handle much of these try to skip this one. And try the next one though it has fighting scenes and bad-mouthing it is light as compared to this one.
Crows (4.8)
Genres: Action, Comedy, Shounen
You might be thinking why crow as the name of the title? It has a reason to it which I will explain in between this synopsis.
The story of this manga follows a new transfer student Bouya Harumichi. The place where he was transferred is Suzuran all-boys high school this school has a bad reputation as the only the worst delinquent out there attended this school.
And these delinquents are hated by normal people due to their manner and actions, similar to a crow. This high- school is commonly referred to as “Crows High School”. So, how will Harumichi handle these delinquents?

Trigun Maximum (4.8)
Genres: Action, Adventure, Comedy, Sci-fi, Seinen
Before anything, I would like to tell you that Trigun Maximum is not the sequel to Trigun it is the continuation of the series Trigun. Its name was changed because the publisher was changed and the first publisher retained the name Trigun.
So, now let’s get into the synopsis of this manga. The story follows Vash the Stampede who suddenly disappeared for two years after creating a scene by blasting a crater onto the moon which was above the desert planet but he did in order to save it from being annihilated.
But as you know if try to do something good always some people bad intention will appear and the same thing happened with Vash and thus he vanished but he could not hide for long as he was constantly tailed by these people.

Rookies (4.7)
Genres: Comedy, School life, Shounen, Sports
To my fellow reader don’t go by the name of the title as it totally different story. It would be easy to tell you a quick summary.
First of all this story doesn’t follow a student or a young boy/girl rather it follows Professor Kawato who is the new Japanese teacher at Futagotamaga high school which is quite famous in bad ways.
