I've been a comic book lover for as long as i can remember. I've dedicated the last few months to delving into the good things of the manga industry. Now i understand why people say that mangas are the future of the comics industry,and i'm excited about the idea.
We are in a time where many talented budding manga authors are emerging in the industry. Examples are Gege Akutami from Jujutsu Kaisen(Which i personally don't read.),Yuto Suzuki from Sakamoto Days,and Yukinobu Tatsu from Dandadan(I do read these two.). It's possible that many more budding authors will start serializing engrossing series with inspired and innovative stories in the near future.
This thread is for discussing what things we want to see in future new manga series. What themes we want the stories to have? What concepts we want the stories to use? Etc.
I wish for a manga about a epic fantasy world like Legends of Zelda and Dungeons & Dragons. Preferably one that uses the concepts like fairies,goblins,dragons etc in inspired and innovative ways to make the story really engrossing.
One idea that OP wasted and i think that some future new author could use better is the mythology about the Oni creature. After OP teased this concept but proceeded to never use,i searched about it in internet,and i think it would make for a good epic adventure manga. I imagine that some future author could subvert the legend of Momotaro and write a story where the Onis are more successful villains.

For a fantasy manga, I started reading this one - https://mangasee123.com/manga/Sousou-no-Frieren - it's about an elven wizard and her adventurer's party, but it starts when they already had their big damn heroes quest, and then it's mostly about her. I read it from time to time, the art is nice, and it does remind me of D&D.
Also, if I could choose a manga plot, I'd want a D&D game plus some panels about people playing it. I love the jokes about breaking the 4th wall, so I'd definitely enjoy that!
Another fantasy manga that I enjoy is this - https://mangasee123.com/manga/Yomi-no-Tsugai - written by Hiromu Arakawa, the mangaka who created Fullmetal Alchemist.
It's about American Football, right? That's as much as I kniw about it, but I'm not into Am Football so the premise isn't for me
If you like a "ragtag of misfits" trope, this manga is for you. It has some over-the-top character antics, but it's quite good as by the end of the manga you remember a lot of characters and can recognize them instantly in the crowd. I love how the main team realistically loses a lot in the beginning, and it loses also in one of the really important matches somewhere halfway through and it's quite unexpected because you get used to them winning. I love both Sena and Hiruma as characters. The ending might make you wish for more, but the epilogue is amazing.
At least give it a try, ok?
BTW, its writer also created Dr.Stone, so if you read it and liked the storytelling style, you might like Eyeshield 21. Personally, I prefer Eyeshield21 to Dr.Stone, even though Senku is like a nicer Hiruma and I enjoyed him reinventing all the science, I didn't like the reason for petrification and how it works.
and to get back to mangas I'd like to see in the future.... hmm. I've read probably close to 100 of various mangas, my current top list of ongoing mangas would have Sakamoto days, Dandadan, Spy x Family. So I like dynamic mangas with both comedy and serious plot, with a bit of mystery, sometimes supernatural powers can be nice, and I am really a sucker for good art. I don't care much about a setting, any setting can be described in an interesting way.
