Manga that explore loneliness/solitude in significant capacity. This includes social isolation, literal isolation, and so on!

Not everyone likes these adaptations but the intention is either to please those of us who like to see these things or at least take these manga into account to expand the list.
Dramas, Kdramas....
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No a todos les gustan estas adaptaciones pero la intención es ya sea complacer a quienes nos gusta ver estas cosas o al menos tomar en cuenta estos mangas para ampliar la lista.

Characters who are overweight, are seen as fat, or are very plump.

DEBATING WHICH SERIES I WANNA BINGE

Here are all the josei manga I think one should read in order to cover all bases. I organized this list by general theme, with publishing series at the bottom.

We start off with the classic slice of life and coming of age stories, then to a couple of autobiographical manga, then to the dark and realistic drama stories, then to action and horror stories, then to mystery stories, then to the rom-coms, then to the more light-hearted slice of life stories, and lastly to the important ongoing series.

I'm currently using this list too, despite me being the one who created it!

strong female leads, female friendship, all the good stuff

titles centering on visual arts, performing arts, and fashion; typically sentimental in nature and include friendship and coming of age themes; sorted by average rating

Manga about clothes

This includes coordinators, designers, cosplayers, kimono, etc.

Literally a compilation of non romance series with a CANON LGBT+ character

Manga which

[1] give off the vibe of spring, or

[2] associated with common themes:
-- arrival, fertility, life
-- rebirth, growth, freshness, opportunity
-- nature, flora, sunshine, joy
-- purity, innocence, youth, promise, romance

Based on sales I found online.
