You know when you find a diamond in the rough? A manga that's either really good or just really entertaining? But it's short, or just axed, or dropped by the translator, or the author hasn't done anything else...and nobody's heard of it? I get that feeling a lot...it sucks, right? Tell me those manga you enjoyed that deserve more recognition!

Mmm

There are a couple of series I'm reading on more obscure websites.

On manga.club (a new legal webcomic website) I like Kotonoha(https://www.manga.club/book/title/KOTONOHA-EN/)

I also like the two series on another new webmanga website (also legal and free-ish like manga.club) called Manga Planet, The Golden Age of Decadence and After School

Chronicles of the Cursed Sword - Licensed in English by Tokyopop, which published 22 of the 37 volumes by 2008, then shut down (its North American branch) in 2011. Went into scanlation limbo, with periods of active translation (3 volumes in 7 years). Currently being worked on—hopefully, if the group's status page is up to date.

Ichi - rushed ending/axed. While the 7 volumes we did get were pretty good, it's still unfortunate.

Id - Discontinued after 29 volumes when the publisher went bankrupt. The author started a new series for a different company. He said (over two years ago) it's possible that he would continue Id in the future, but no news since.
