Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm looking for manga which makes me feel like I'm doing something productive for once or one that'll suck my boredom right out of me. Something engaging and meaningful is what I'm looking for. I'm grateful for any suggestions.

(Warning: some of these contain dark themes/images)
Mushishi (fantastic story telling and unique premise, I highly recommend watching the anime as well since it has a beautiful soundtrack and stunning visuals)
Heaven's Design Team (fun, cute, and you learn about different animals, + there's an anime adaptation if you're interested)
Three Days of Happiness (engaging story and interesting relationships and perspectives on life)
Kiichi!! (interesting story and gives the reader a lot to think about in terms of society and it's effects on different people)
Kiichi VS (sequel to the previous one)
Sunny (MATSUMOTO Taiyou) (unique art and story telling that focuses on how different kids process/view/deal with their situation in life)
Oyasumi Punpun (dark, interesting, and wonderful art)
To You, The Immortal (fascinating perspectives on life, death, and humanity throughout the ages, there's also an anime adaptation if you're interested)
Hikaru ga Shinda Natsu (great story, great art, interesting plot)
Kamonohashi Ron no Kindan Suiri (the mystery element keeps you engaged and guessing, very fun, there's an anime adaptation if you're interested)
Monster (incredible story overall, this one also has an anime adaptation if you're interested)

I'm sorry for the late reply, here is the link :

I hope it'll suit your tastes !!

Something I've observed in a lot of manga is that assholes get away with pulling all kinds of shit. The author gives them a backstory and that makes everyone sympathise and erases all the damage that they've caused,No matter how big. Sometimes I wonder if it's a reflection of japanese society expecting people to be like saints without any kind of negative emotions.

Before i start I meant to thumbs up but my fat fingers hit thumbs down.
I agree, no back story is good enough to erase the damage a character has done. I dont care if you were treat like shit from the beginning of your existance, you out of everyone should know not to treat someone like shit. Especially if the character being given shit didnt do anything but be in the place and breathe. Thats your issue not theres.
Anyway i will comfoet the poor boy but only if the author tries to make the character have some sort of developement.

They didn’t specify what manga genre they were talking about so I just thought of those demons from demon slayer lol. To what op said, I don’t think it’s a reflection on jp society, people in general are more forgiving towards hot people (like how certain male kpop idols still have stans even when they’ve done heinous shit)

I've been looking for a certain manga since forever. It's a little hazy but I think it's a side story in a manga. The uke is bullied by the seme because the seme likes him and the uke knows. The uke thinks that the seme is cute so he doesn't say anything. Then one day a transfer student came and scolded the seme for his pranks/beat him up ( i don't really remember) and the uke gets pissed off at the transfer student for interfering. I would really appreciate it if someone helps me find this.

This manga has been stuck in my head for a while and I can't remember its name. It is a side story where the seme bullies the uke because he likes him and the uke knows the reason for the bullying and he likes it too then suddenly a transfer student tries to stand up for the uke and reprimands the seme but gets his ass handed to him by the uke instead. I hope someone remembers the name of this manga.

Somehow I'm in the mood to read stories with jealous side characters. If you guys have any suggestions I would love to know them

All of these are BLs, by the way.

Sorry if you weren't looking for BLs.
Right now I'm really into manga where the couple is on the same wavelength and really compatible with each other. Does anybody know such manga? I'll be really grateful for any recommendations.
Maybe give Telework Yotabanashi https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/telework_yotabanashi/ a try. It's one my most fav mangas in this category.
idk if this fits your requirement but it's really good
