Mangas that have a wholesome plot,

Stories where a cute, not-human character is taken in by a human. I always find this kind of story very lovely!
Non-human ranges from animals to things that take the form of a human!

What it says on the tin - mangas where the protagonist doesn't have the same cookie-cutter manga (or manwha) design.

The Mangas and Light Novels featured here must have strong sales and/or awards, or other external factors such as their publication magazine, the author's popularity, localization, availability in manga and light novel format, and any rumors or leaks.

New rule: Once the confirmed series finally releases, I will then remove them from the list and replace them. So as long as the show haven't come out from now on (7/7/2023), I will keep it on my list till it comes out.

Interest stack created: October 8, 2022
Last cleanup: 3/8/2025 (First update in nearly a year, cleaned up all the correct ones, will be adding new mangas to this list soon)
Total Correct Predictions so Far: 46

It can be a manga about cats or just feature one cat. Also: not exactly a house cat but any kind of feline.

here we have more stories with animals (or magical creatures/robots) as companions.

A manga collection to help you stay out of horny jail *bonk*.

Slice-of-life backed up with pleasing art and decent plot.
