Some older ones I didnt see mentioned.
Eden:
Eden is set in the near future, following a pandemic called closure virus which killed 15 percent of the world's population, crippled or disfigured many more, and upset the world's political balance greatly.
Battle Angel Alita:
The series is set in the post-apocalyptic future and focuses on Alita, a cyborg who has lost all memories and is found in a garbage heap by a cybernetics doctor who rebuilds and takes care of her. She discovers that there is one thing she remembers, the legendary cyborg martial art Panzer Kunst, which leads to her becoming a Hunter Warrior or bounty hunter. The story traces Alita's attempts to rediscover her past and the characters whose lives she impacts on her journey.
Eagle - The making of an asian american president
It follows a Japanese American senator as he runs for president of the United States, was thoroughly researched by Kawaguchi during several weeks of travel in the U.S. during the campaigns for the 2000 election. House of Cards-ey.
Battle Angel Alita - Last Order (and by extension the original series)
Featuring supersonic thumb wrestling (they're cyborgs. Their abilities make complete sense in context)
I'll add a little detail: Sechs, the black-haired character, is a trans man. He's a clone of a female character, but considers himself male, and transitions to a male cyborg body early on. He's also just two years old.

This seems like it could be neat but then again there are a million manga about this sort of thing, like Watamote. How does this compare?

Here are some of my favorites!
Blade of the Immortal
An ronin during the Edo period cursed with immortality takes on the task of helping a young girl avenge her family to further his own quest to slay one thousand evil men to atone for his past crimes
Bokurano
A mecha manga unlike anything else, Bokurano follows follows 15 young children who must pilot an alien mecha to save their world. Rated Extreme R
Fist of the North Star
The one and only Hokuto no Ken! Kenshiro uses his martial arts powers to protect the innocent in a post apocalyptic society
Narutaru - Shadow Star
A "Mon" manga like you've never seen before, Narutaru follows the young girl Shina as she learns the truth behind the children bonded to monsters. Same author as Bokurano, R rated as fuck.

That's not uncommon in the US. Like you said, he's a DBZ Fan! That's the series we were exposed to first as kids. If it wasn't for the book fairs growing up, I would be in the same boat lol
I'll always prefer Z lol!
20th Century Boys
Kakukaku Shikajika. It's an autobiography of mangaka who doesn't sugarcoat her road to success and her story is quite a bit different from anyone else's in a more famous Bakuman. Manga based on true story (without much fantasy thrown into it) is rare enough, but the topic itself makes it even more interesting. It doesn't solely revolve around just manga-related themes too.

Since people arent commenting much in this thread: I just wanted to mention that I highly appreciate your recommendations. They usually align very well with my interests. Thanks!
Good to know, I plan to continue posting here for a bit more.
