It occured to me that you can search your own comments, so posting links here could be a pretty convenient way to keep track of which series I'm following for later, without having to dredge through all those single-page "chapters" on r/manga. As long as I remember to do it that is. Anyway,

Enigmatica | Chapter 23
https://mangaplus.shueisha.co.jp/viewer/1030019
Looks like beginning of a new arc, following a new main character? Pretty intense right off the bat. This manga is always mesmerizing to look at, the plot follows a decypherer during the Inter-war period, and both the art and story are like cyphers themselves. The last chapter was pretty satisfying in terms of character revelation, like a solution to a puzzle. Hope this is not the last time we see the previous MC.

Haunted Peak | Chapter 17

The other day someone mentioned Shounen no Abyss, this one is by the same author. Story is a bit less intense and some characters actually seem like decent people this time around, but still full of dread by the end of every chapter.

New series!
Monkey Hunting | Chapter 1

Pretty strong start. Feels like something's wrong the whole time despite nothing happening, and then the end comes and it hits.
