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.

Art Nouveau first emerged in the late 19th century, thriving as a reaction to industrialization and mass production that is why artists and designers sought to return to craftsmanship, emphasizing organic forms, nature-inspired motifs, and decorative details. This movement celebrated individuality and artistry, rejecting the rigidity of industrial design.

Art Nouveau was not confined to a single medium—it flourished in architecture, graphic design, illustration, and even furniture. This universality made it a global phenomenon, captivating audiences with its elegance and intricate detailing.
