Thanks to maomango for suggestions
Next stack: Emma wa Hoshi no Yume wo Miru, Shinyaku Seisho

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

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.

Slice-of-life Mangas that completely turned about my philosophies and induced me to appreciating the wonders of the little things in life.

The end is near...

Humanities dreams of a delighfull Utopia are shattered, when natural disasters stricke our planet... but maybe it was war? Or even some monsters?
Is it here in the future of our world, or a mysterious alternative universe with magic?

The fascination with the unknown... beeing alone, or searching for one kind? From classical survival in the lost world to rather interesting scenarious... the Post apocalyptic world.

Psst! Shoutout to these entries who didnt made it into this list:
- Tsugumi Project (by Ippatu)

manga about humans and their supernatural pets! these pets are either undefined lil weirdos, magical beasts, talking animals, eldritch beings, or mythical creatures-- and all very loved by their owners! to qualify, these pets must be markedly abnormal from a regular pet, either by appearance, species, mysterious abilities, or behaviour. the pet must be considered outside-of-normal either by their owners or strangers that encounter them and the owner may have to hide their abnormality from others. if the pet looks like a domestic animal but talks, and this is considered normal in-universe, the manga may still be considered for this stack. weird-looking pets that are normalised within the world they are set in may also be considered. the feeling of weirdness towards the pet can also be temporary for the entry to still count; after all, humans adapt to strange things very easily when they're cute!

for manga and manhua in which a humanoid character temporarily pretends to be a pet or a stray animal through a magical transformation, please see my other stack!: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/49298
