List of manga with drama cd/voice manga/pv with characters voiced by Nakamura Yuuichi

Unusual/intriguing premise, complex worldbuilding, well-written characters, big cast, supporting characters play important roles, multiple arcs, psychological themes. Long-running series (longer than 5 volumes).

The main plot has to be something other than just romance. It can be romance-focused if it equally focuses on another genre such as supernatural, action, adventure, psychological etc.

Highschool setting or slice of life themes are excluded unless the story has more interesting/unusual themes other than the two.

Manga that were published under the Shojo Beat/Shojo imprint by Viz Media.

A spooky-themed stack list featuring a variety of shoujo manga: from goofy otaku vampires to the creepiest twists on your favorite fairytales, you'll find the perfect shoujo thrill for your heart here!

— This stack is sorted alphabetically, and each item includes the reason it was picked, the level of spookiness (low, medium, or high), and the languages in which the titles are available.
— Since it's tough to track every single licensing update for manga, it's likely that I might have missed some for the titles in this stack. Feel free to let me know if that's the case!
— 'Level of Spookiness' is entirely subjective, and titles marked as *medium* or *high* may be revised later.

[⚠️ For items marked as *medium* or *high* in spookiness, it's highly recommended to check MangaUpdates or similar databases for specific trigger warnings. Please read at your own discretion.]

The reason I feel creeped out by isekai that feature soul transmigration/reincarnation or villainess stories: an Asian woman or man (less frequently) who inhabits the body of a European which I find very creepy, in the same way I find the movie 'Get Out' or the manga 'Inside Mari' creepy but no one seems to mind the isekai soul transmigration/
reincarnation/villainess genres because they're drawn and not live action?

It's especially creepy when middle aged Asian men get reincarnated into the bodies of European little girls (or boys) but they retain their memories and personality they had in their previous life.

For most of them I've only read the first chapter to confirm the premise.
