(in no particular order)

kami no hidari te akuma no migi te (umezu kazuo) or better known as SOTE in indo, is an anthology of 5 interconnected stories. SOTE has probably the most iconic & captivating opening scene in horror manga history. 100% pure nightmare fuel.
fuan no tane (masaaki nakayama), is a collection of short ghost stories in day-to-day situations. there's never any explanation for anything in each story & that's why it's powerful and effective.
saiteihen no otoko (yamaguchi mikoto). the story revolves around masahiko, a loser scumbag who has a fetish for ppl's natural odor. despite being relatively short, the plot is filled with tons of twists & turns and pretty messed up contents.
apocalypse no toride (yuu kuraishi & inabe kazu) tells a story about a group of inmates facing a zombie outbreak. tight pace, great action, spine tingling zombie designs.
i am a hero (kengo hanazawa) is def the go-to manga if u love zombies. it starts off rly slow ngl but it's worth the wait. characters are pretty well grounded though the real icing on the cake is the designs. a great read overall except the ending lel.
hideout (masasumi kakizaki). the art and concept itself make it worth checking out. masasumi is a genius when it comes to delivering hauntingly impactful imagery through the use of high contrast & detailed art.
panorama of hell (hideshi hino) is a more shocking, maddening & bloodthristy work of art by hino. takes a bit for the manga to actually pick up but it gains poignancy as the story unfolds. an absolute classic.
fraction (shintaro kago). first of all, i'm a SIMP for all kago's works but if i had to recommend one title for non-kago readers, it's fraction - a surreal, comedic horror about kago's own works. clever & unsettling.
will continue to post the rest of the list tomorrow at a friendly hour! stay cun~
kuroi hon - akai hon - shiroi hon (masaya hokazono). a longer, more explicatory version of fuan no tane though not as terrifying. a pretty good read for some mild scares.
mieruko-chan (tomoki izumi) follows a story of a girl named miko who suddenly has the ability to see ghosts in her daily life. it's light, simple and...kinda ecchi sometime. i enjoyed watching miko struggle to ignore the spirits as each chapter went on.
warau kyuuketsuki (suehiro maruo). at first i wasn't sure i wanted to include suehiro's works on the list. he's a fantastic illustrator by all means. warau kyuuketsuki is a testament to his visual prowess, but in story department it comes across lackluster. beautiful nonetheless.
