Obscure/Underrated Anime and Manga

I wanna spread some awareness for anime/manga that were amazing but unheard of. This is mostly bc I am still extremely upset that Psyren was cancelled before it could even get an anime

Alright as mentioned prior: PSYREN. PLEASE EVERYBODY READ PSYREN. Y'know if you like shounen at least. If I can last remember it's only over a little over a hundred chapters long. And the power system is so unique and interesting.

Not sure exactly how obscure it is, but I'm almost shocked by how many people have watched Madoka Magica and not read any of the Pulla Magi manga. Oriko, Kazumi, Tart, and Suzune Magica plus all the Madoka Magica stuff is absolutely amazing.

Skullface Bookseller Hondo-san. A lot of people skipped over it last year but it's a delightful and hilarious series that's based on the authors own experience working at a bookstore.

Golden Boy. There are only like 8 episodes or something. Perfect if your looking for a great semi-boner! https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_1laqjmct.png

Taimashi to Akuma-Chan is the cutest shit. I rarely see people talk about it so it's probably not that popular.

There's also Le Chevalier D'eon, but... I can't mention one without mentioning the other since they both came out around the same time and really left me wishing there were more animes like them. https://66.media.tumblr.com/8f59a005de3ce59bd060fee79914299b/tumblr_nrmanrpBGD1tvu2pco2_250.gif

I'm not sure if this is obscure but Barefoot Gen is a really powerful manga that's very difficult to read at times. It follows the story of a boy named Gen who survives the tragic bombing of Hiroshima, on 1945. You get to see his point of view about humanity and the events that revolved around him. The author of the manga was actually a survivor of that very same incident. https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61mxshqVY7L._SX349_BO1,204,203,200_.jpg
