7. Black Clover
If you are looking for something highly mysterious with insane twists, then Black Clover should be on your list. The series revolves around two major characters, Asta and Yuno. They both dreamed of becoming the next Wizard King and thus started their journey of becoming wizards.

6. Attack on Titan
Attack on Titan, also known as Shingeki no Kyojin, is one of the most famous and best anti-hero series. The series is based on the fight of humanity against giant man-eaters, but as the chapters pass, the story becomes quite political and eventually turns upside down.
The last thing that you can think of starts taking shape, and eventually, we lose all the characters we used to cherish in the initial chapters. Attack on Titans manga has been finished so that you will get the complete storyline by the end of all the chapters.
Mysteries Involved: From chapter 1, you will ask questions like, from where these Titans are coming from? and who created them? Why are they killing the innocents?
Later, you will have mixed thoughts for all the titans as well as for humanity. A new antihero will born, and his doings will become a matter of discussion.
5. Code Geass
Another series with the anti-hero concept that got famous insanely. Code Geass is something you shouldn’t miss, as it has all the things that you expect from a perfect manga.
From the crazy action to the well-written characters, the series has it all. The best character is Lelouch who can sacrifice anything for his people and nation, but this stubbornness of his became quite dangerous for people around him.
The series took a sad turn in the end. You have to read all the chapters to understand what I meant here.
Mysteries Involved: Code Geass may be the first manga that showed me the true meaning of antihero. This series includes mysteries like the true potential of certain Geass, the origin of C6, and the motives of Lelouch.
4. One Piece
If you love and are mysterious, then you must read One Piece as the series has tons of mysteries, and even with 1053+ chapters, most of the mysteries are still unsolved. The series has perfect action, adventure, and diversity, so you will experience a whole new storyline with each arc.
The best thing about this series is its ability to foreshadow things. You can expect the initial chapters to connect with the latest ones, thanks to the amazing writer, Eiichiro Oda sensei. Will Luffy be able to become Pirate King? Well, this is certainly a mystery itself.
Mysteries involved: One Piece is filled with mysteries from beginning to end. Some of the mysteries, like, What is One Piece? Will of D, Imu Sama, The true potential of Five Elders, Void Century, The God Valley Incident, etc. are still unanswered.
3. Another
Humans are social beings, and the most painful thing someone can experience is when people around him/her don’t even value his/her existence. The series, Another, is based on a similar concept.
The student of a junior high school, Kouichi Sakakibara returns to school after a long sickness. He was infatuated with the girl whom he met in the hospital, named Mei Misaki, but he noticed that no one really cared about her existence, and a dreadful fear was always present in people’s heads when she was present in class.

He again felt for the same instance in the future when he decided to perform the surgery on a young boy Johan Leibert than the Mayer of the town. This is the birth of the most anticipated character in manga history.
Mystery Involved: The planned executions of Johan and his brainwashing skills are highly anticipated things in the manga. The motives of Johan and his anti-hero role would make you question your thoughts.
1. Bakemonogatari
The concept of vampires is not new indeed, but it has been serving a great number of mysteries for quite a long time. It seems that Bakemonogatari reinvented the same concept but in a new style.
The story is based on a school girl, Koyomi Araragi, who managed to survive the fierce vampire attack with the help of a certain someone. But this attack made a devastating change in her normal life, like Superhuman healing abilities, enhanced vision, etc.
She is trying hard to live a normal life, but all of her gained skills are becoming a huge barrier in her day-to-day chores.

Honorable Mention:
These were the best Most Mysterious Manga that you can read in 2022 if you love mysteries. There are many manga that are too good but couldn’t make it on the list.
We would love to mention Sabikui Bisco, Kakegurui, Durarara!!, Dororo, Vinland Saga, The Promised Neverland, Hyouka, etc. These mangas are equally great with tons of mysterious events.
