Japan has had quite a fascination with Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland novels, such that allusions to the work, its characters and plot, appear in various anime & manga series time and again. This stack collects series that are quite overtly based on the work. Quite a few are based on Quinrose's Alice-inspired visual novels.

Quinrose series cut due to space:
Heart no Kuni no Alice: Wonderful Wonder World & Wonderful Twin World series,
Diamond no Kuni no Alice: Black or Sweets,
Joker no Kuni no Alice: Mayonaka ni Ochiru Yume,
Renai Otogibanashi series

Here is a list for fellow manga collectors and fans of mahou shoujo, a genre featuring many young girls receiving magical powers and (more often than not) a dress that's as cute as the aesthetic! Can be treated as a rec list for those new to the genre, as it will mainly (and primarily) feature magical girl manga you can find English copies of to read and buy today. Not meant to be a complete/definitive list.

Do note that this list will include magical-girl-adjacent titles, or some fantasy series that aren't usually considered to be part of the genre by some parts of the community—I'll try to put explanations for my reasoning in including them/why I feel they should be considered as a magical girl title... whether you're convinced on the classification or not, hopefully you might still be sold on checking it out regardless.

Physical releases that have been out of print, or will not be printed brand new in stores anymore, will also be included and indicated as such. To find these prints/series, you will need to look outside of your usual bookstores to find used/pre-owned copies. Good luck finding some of these, especially if you're particularly looking for more affordable prices!
Aside from marketplaces like eBay and Mercari, I also recommend checking the following sites as I've found many manga with decent pricing and item conditions from them:
https://www.abebooks.com/
https://www.alibris.com/
https://www.biblio.com/

The art nouveau movement features an elegant aesthetic that I wish was in more media.

Here is a list of manga that seem to evoke some visual influences of the art movement, whether solely the covers, occasional appearances in the actual manga, or even if the author is known to be a fan. Probably not a definitive list.

Major thanks to https://occidental-influence-manga.tumblr.com/ btw holy crap

This list is intended to publicize those manga that have been published (whether they are still available or not) in Mexico related to Mahou Shoujo. The purpose of this list is to generate knowledge about manga in Mexico related to the Magical Girls genre, which is almost non-existent in Mexico.

Manga inspired by Alice in Wonderland

This stack includes both OOP (out of print) and still-in-circulation titles, but will be noted if they are OOP OR not. Digital only manga will have a note if they are so.
Manga spin-offs of already adapted series (ex. Creamy Mami and The Spoiled Princess, the various Madoka Magica spin-offs) are NOT included.

Mangas with transgender authors and/or illustrators. Not all the mangas have transgender themes in them.
