Part 1: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/10213

Once again, I'll be including everything I've read except for certain series which feel wrong and/or fetishizing. (Feel free to let me know if you feel like there's an item that shouldn't be on this list, I don't remember some of the stories well since I'm adding some of them to the stack around 6 months after finishing them.)

(PS: More descriptions will be added later on)

Not included:
☆ Bedtime Fairy Tales by Fishbone (Manhua)
☆ Starting with a Lie by Liang Azha (Manhua)
☆ Little Mushroom by Yu Chi Jin Ze (art) & Yishisi Zhou (Manhua)

In 2023, these were the best manga releases you shouldn't miss.
