I'm looking for manga (or webcomic/webtoon) to read. I know it's an old trope, but I really like the ones where the MC has some secret power or is some powerful beast or whatnot, that astonishes everyone when comes out with it.

Know anything to take a look at? Or at least, specific tags that would generate the most (and most relevant) results?

Or manga in specific?

What else I'm looking for in it

Little to no romance (or at least nothing that focuses on it a great deal)
Lengthy
Preferably modern, but not a deal breaker
Preferably male MC
MC isn't like, 8 years old


Naruto, Bleach, Ao no Exorcist, One Piece, Tokyo Ghoul, Tower of God, Beelzebub Things like this, you know?

Any help is appreciated smile

The only one I can think of is Flow and maybe you can try the tag: "Hidden Power/s".

Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei

There's a lot more of the light novel that's been translated. But I guarantee the main character is WAY op.

Onepunch-Man

Main character spends like the whole manga being way more powerful than everyone else and the few people that notice always get their minds blown.

I second The Gamer and Black Haze. I recently started both of them and read to the latest chapter, and I am very much hooked to their respective stories. Definitely give them a try.

The Breaker / The Breaker - New Waves : Martial arts with a weakling becomes overpowered plot. Great art. OK story.

Sengoku Youko : Great manga about a swordsman meeting demons and their adventures.

Mob Psycho 100 : If you like Onepunch-Man then you should check this one by the same author.

Drifters : Warriors from our world get transported to a fantasy setting.

Nanatsu no Taizai : Good fantasy manga with a seemingly weak hero who's actually a badass.

Red Storm : Webcomic with a decent plot and interesting characters/setting. Reminded me a little of Naruto.

Green Worldz : Post-Apocalyptic setting with plant-like monsters. Very shounen-ish but with some dark aspects.

Apocalypse no Toride : Zombie story. Quite good. The MC doesn't display any ability for a long time though.


Here are a few that don't follow all your requirements but are worth a check :

Knight Run : (female MC) Good webcomic with a sci-fi setting. Nice action scenes and story.

Re:Monster : (11 chapters out) Overpowered MC, although he hides most of his abilities. The story is one big monologue wich can be very annoying, but some of the ideas are interesting.

Tsuyokute New Saga : (13 chapters out) The manga follows MMORPG/Video Games tropes and setting with a twist. The hero after defeating the main villain is able to go back in time and do it again (but better of course).
