Mangas featuring otakus as main characters

These manga are set in a bookstore- although the characters may not stay there! From manga recommending booksellers to bookshop romances, from mystery solving bibliophiles to mysterious bookshops, there's something here for everyone.

Please do not hesitate to drop me a line if I've forgotten a bookshop. Libraries and librarians are in a separate list.

Manga that explore a character or characters and how the characters interact with and learn about the world.

More slice of life or philosophy based.

maybe its the way youre dressed

All manga published by polish publisher Studio JG

—-

Studio JG, powstałe w 2006 roku, na początku swojego istnienia znane było z wydawania magazynu o mandze i anime „Otaku”. Po czasie ich działaność rozszerzyła się o polskie komiksy inspirowane stylem mangowym oraz doujinshi komedie oparte na wcześniej powstałych już tworach (np. Akatsukiss inspirowane Naruto, Dead Not inspirowane Death Note).
W 2009 postanowili wydać mangę „Hetalia”, co rozpoczęło ich drogę w zostaniu jednym z największych wydawnictw mangowych w Polsce.

Lista jest ułożona od najstarszej pozycji do najnowszej.
Part 1 obejmuje lata 2009 do 2016: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/40713

Manga series with covers that feature recurring design and composition elements, consistent art styles, gradual changes that show intent and overall harmony of the entire collection. I'm open to suggestions, I try not to add too many “standing character” situations, but will do so if the art is striking enough.
