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?

    Much like Berserk, Chainsaw Man, and Fire Punch, I've learned I really enjoy a story where the MC is treated to endless misery, trauma, and solitude.
