I am looking for silent manga, manga with no speech (i dont mind sfx, just no verbal letters). It does not matter what genre it is, and more the better
I only found one by myself, which was Yawarakai Onna and that was amazing, so now I am looking for more! Thanks in advance!

Really? Like no dialogue whatsoever? That's interesting, I don't think I've ever seen one with zero dialogue. The closest I've ever read is Blame! which often goes for very long time but then it will have a stretch of dialogue. Not sure if that's still what you're looking for.

Is narration/thoughts okay? Door to Heaven is just thoughts and sfxs, but it's a very short one-shot

The most prominent wordless manga that comes to my mind would be Akazukin to Yasashii Ookami by Palmeros. Highly expressive and deeply saddening.
Apart from that, I remember IRIE Aki's Gunjou Gakusha having some nearly wordless short stories (e.g. Forest of Wonder). Lavish artwork coupled with an exuberant imagination.
If you're open to other art forms, have a look at Shaun Tan's The Arrival. Profoundly silent literature revolving around migration, escape and refuge. Hauntingly brilliant.

Leaflet Manga 980505 - a very short oneshot.
Edit: Just remembered this one: Anywhere But Here (TORI Miki)
