[Recommendation] What are some manga with lots of twists? (ani.social)

I am looking for something along the lines of A Manga With Too Many Premises (5-pages long) and Weirdo (15-pages long).

tbh I'm not sure if plot twist (if there's even a plot) - or just "twist" alone - is even the right term here. What I meant is something unexpected or surprising happening.

Ideally, it would be more fleshed out - i.e. not a one-shot - but the rate at which twists are introduced must be extremely high. At least once per chapter should be the minimum; once per ~~panel~~ page would put it on the same level as the examples given.

It'd be a bonus if it has an anime adaptation. Feel free to recommend non-manga/anime media too!

Ah... I wasn't familiar with either of those manga and assumed you were asking for thrillers, which I couldn't help with. But I see elsewhere on the thread that you say more comedic...

Pani Poni is a classic of the genre - there's never any telling where it'll go next.

Mitsuishi-san is Being Weird This Year is an unhinged romance.

Curiosity Killed the Schoolgirl is earnest nonsense and determinedly follows its stories no matter where they lead (and also has a terrific artstyle).

Thanks for the recc. A couple chapters in, I don't quite get Pani Poni and Mitsuishi-san is Being Weird This Year, but Curiosity Killed the Schoolgirl has potential. Its wackiness is like Rick and Morty's.

It isn't quite like the examples I gave though.
