I feel like a lot of the manga I've read tends to turn out to involve long-term conspiracies that hide crucial components of the worldbuilding -- it seems like it's a pretty common way to build the more complex shonen plots, like Claymore and Pumpkin Scissors. And Twentieth Century Boys, which isn't shonen, but is maybe the best example of AMAZING MASSIVE CONSPIRACY WORLDBUILDING.
