Space manga with heavy psychological themes.

The top 50 rated manga on MAL that are completed, have 100+ chapters, and an official English print you can buy (not out of print).

Complete list of the book 501 mangas to read in Spanish

I couldn't find the manga (Miss 130/Miss DD) It's on myanimelist's to-be-approved list, it's practically a hentai manga

I couldn't find the manga (Dekoman - Asoko mangaka ga kimyō-na art o tsukutta riyū) but the author, Rokudenashiko, is more interesting than the manga itself.

Manga series that the Riverside County Library System owns at least 1 copy of every volume of, except Golden Kamuy, the system does not have the last 2 volumes yet.

Manga somehow related to Clamp: referenced in their works and mentioned in interviews.

Not on MAL:
Macaroni Horenso by Tsubame Kamogawa (mentioned in xxxHolic)
Comet-san by Mitsuteru Yokoyama (Kobato inspiration)
Kyonyuu Hunter - Ohkawa likes this but I'm unsure about the author, I'm gonna assume it's the one by Kouichiro Yasunaga
