I tried looking up suggestions myself, but it's a little daunting with so many series to choose from. 😅 Especially with many series spanning 10+ issues!

I'm not familiar with The Red Rising, but as far as dystopian sci-fi manga goes, I can't recommend the Akira manga highly enough. It's got a very compelling story and is absolutely stunning.

My other recommendation would have to be Gunnm (aka Battle Angel Alita). It's maybe a bit low brow compared to Akira, with a lot of gratuitous violence, but it also has one of the most interesting lore and setting I've come across.

@Enkers I've seen Akira mentioned around. I'll be sure to check it out now, thanks!

Akira is the obvious entry point, its a masterpiece.
