I've been on a manga reading spree recently, having completed good manga like Helck (2014; Nanao Nanaki), Thermae Romae (2008; Yamazaki Mari) [and its IMO better ongoing spinoff Olympia Kyklos] or Boku dake ga Inai Machi (2012; Sanbe Kei)

Does anyone have some recommendations for something that's...

  1. Plot-driven (Romance is fine, as long as it's not one of those stories that moves at a snail's pace)

  2. At worst mildly horny

  3. Doesn't have awful politics

  4. Isn't half the length of One Piece

and of course

  1. good?

    Parasyte.

    And if you're okay with cute gay romance stuff, sasaki to miyano is the best in the BL genre. The anime misses out on the meta-comedy in the manga, which pokes fun at the genre and its clichés. Miyano is (adorable :meow-melt:) a BL fan who introduces Sasaki to the genre, and it goes from there.
