While it might look like you don't really need to know all of this, you never know when it will be useful: for instance with quizzes, random questions that you wouldn't know the answer to otherwise, fun facts to tell someone else, or if there's trouble or necessity of intervention in your vicinity.

Honorable mentions:
-Apocalypse no Toride is a horror manga that could be included due to a couple of educational parts, such as acute hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) and its effects induced by intravenous insulin injections; however a lot of it is not really fitting to be put in here.
-Genius Martial Arts Trainer (MAL ID 170657): Fitness

Medical Return
Manhwa, ? vol, 2019 Me:- Author:9
Medical (such as surgery, but also other parts of biochemistry and anatomy), hospital environment.

This manhwa has some really educational stuff that I think is overlooked by many (due to its difficulty of terminology and concepts);
such as in Ch 31 with the graphs and different critical parameters of a patient who might need to undergo intensive care;
Ch 67: blood pH of 7.2 (= the blood contains more acids compared to normal) is dangerous because if it leaves the margin of about 7.35-7.40 toxicity may be severe: it might seem not much but that's subjectivity which can place the patient in danger: leaving that small safe range makes the blood more prone to quick fall or rise of the pH.

More info about this manhwa: see

Whale Star: The Gyeongseong Mermaid
Manhwa, 6 vol, 2019 Me:- Author:10
Japanese occupation of Korea in the 1900s (~1920), the cruelty and inhumane acts, the fighting for freedom

Apparently Japan had annexed Korea in ~1910, forced the Koreans to change their lives to (serve the) Japanese in many different ways, and in ~1919 resistance began to erupt, causing armed violence from both sides.
In ~1945 (after WW2) Korea was declared independent from Japan.

March 1 is the Korean national day:
"Korean nationalists formally declared Korea’s independence from the government of Japan on March 1, 1919."
-University of Central Arkansas | Political Science: 4. Japan/Korea (1907-1948)
