The list is quite rare to find nowadays and hence I decided to create a stack since its really good. If you find it helpful, restack for better reach. Thank you!

The list had 10 Categories with 5 manga in each. I will create the stack in the original sequence :

1. Horror
2. Scenery Po*n
3. Minimalism
4. Realistic Characters
5. Western Influences
6. Costume Design
7. Monster Design
8. Feminine
9. Manly
10. Stylistic Action

[Note : In case a manga contains sequels, only the first one will be included in the list. However the recommendation encompasses the entire sequence of that manga including its sequels.]

Manga somehow related to Clamp: referenced in their works and mentioned in interviews.

Not on MAL:
Macaroni Horenso by Tsubame Kamogawa (mentioned in xxxHolic)
Comet-san by Mitsuteru Yokoyama (Kobato inspiration)
Kyonyuu Hunter - Ohkawa likes this but I'm unsure about the author, I'm gonna assume it's the one by Kouichiro Yasunaga

This is in WORKING PROGRESS. There's still a couple of characters I need to find out which manga they are from

A stack list based on the famous Shonen Jump 40th anniversary collage illustration by Yusuke Murtata. 1968 -2008 https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GVRPissW8AAAcq0?format=jpg&name=large

This list was created off people's answers from multiple Reddit and MyAnimelist forums about the best artstyle in manga.

-Solanin
