I only know about classic alt-manga from GARO.
Is there anything similar but more recent?
Ryan Green
I pretty much follow Comic beam on a monthly basis. Best alternative manga magazine in my opinion However I'm not sure how much is Translated.
Juan Lewis
This. I have read a little Garo stuff, and some stuff that gets described as "avant-garde" manga, but other than Garo, I don't even know where to start with finding this stuff.
Gabriel Sanders
not really a lot of gekiga fans on here honestly
Sebastian Watson
None of it is translated
Dominic Stewart
OP here, I love the art style of King Terry and other Garo artists but none of it is translated and its hard to find .
John Russell
Is there even any alt-manga available for a squalid EOP such as myself?
Luke Taylor
Elemhunter has some scans but no translators
Adam Rodriguez
Maybe run through it slow with a translator application open next to you?
I am still learning, so I keep tabs open to look up kanji and unfamiliar phrases as I go. It is tedious, but worth it to be able to read whatever I like.
Julian Brooks
Drawn & Quarterly has translated quite a bit of Garo artists.
I'm not sure if there are any completed alt-manga scanlations, but a group picked up Nekojiru some time ago and is releasing new chapters every 2 to 4 weeks.
Jaxson Carter
I find them interesting but I'm not that in touch with the basics of Japanese culture always let alone the alternative strains of it. I feel a lack of connection to the content a lot of times.
But still, there are some gekiga and the like that I find very fun.
The Pushman compilation has something for everyone so thats a good place for people to start.
James Myers
If I dekicould, I would.

Yoshiharu Tsuge is one of my favorite mangaka. I like Suehiro Mauro, as well, though mostly for the art.
Brandon Richardson
>though mostly for the art.
I like his storytelling too, but it never leaves that much of an impression compared to the art for me either to be fair. The visuals are definitely supposed to be the star of the show
Picked up the last gasp english version of Panorama Island recently and I really like it, it's a nice hardcover too.
Angel Rogers
Something like Panorama Island is an adaptation, so his storytelling works to enrich the existing story. His regular stuff is almost purely driven by the art.
Carter Jones
No
Michael Adams
The Laughing Vampire is my favorite manga hands down, art and story are fantastic.
James Taylor
Fuck you.
Jeremiah Diaz
Not sure if it counts but I want more easy going manga like this
Luke Reyes
something close to te heta-uma style of the garo cover you posted is Tokyo Zombie by Yusaku Hanakuma. This is my print (Italian) but I think you can find an English translation
Asher Morgan
my alt-manga whishlist:
- Box Man by Imiri Sakabashira
- Short Stories by Inio Asano
- Pits of Hell by Ebisu Yoshikazu
- Tokyo Kaido by Minetaro Mochizuki
Zachary Powell
I've never read an alt comic before, are they even popular in Japan?
Oliver Smith
No.
Thats what makes them alternative.
Easton Wood
some of them (Taniguchi for example) are more popular in Europe than in Japan
Samuel Peterson
you could try AX stuff, also here's a link to all the alternative manga you can find

Thomas Stewart
you should try Ding Dong Circus by him
James Martinez
Suehiro Maruo is at his best when doing Short Stories, like in Ultra Gash Inferno
Matthew Price
I don't know what you consider alt-manga but you'll probably find something you like translated by Lovely Strange Dark lsd.mangadex.com
sometimes I'll just type in a search word like "water" and there'll be some unsettling story about a girl turning into a fish or a fantastical sol with whales flying through the sky, whatever.
Carter Sanchez
Is ding dong circus scanned? It looks oop.
Luis Cook
Lovely strange dark is hands down the best group currently scanlating. I like anata no motokare too however unfortunately their main girl/guy is having a really bad carpal tunnel thus everything is very slow.
