Are you a Machine or a Human...?

Androids are humans... not really they are artificially-created to mimic them in looks and behavior. Maybe its a Droid, maybe its an robot? At least we know they aren't really Human...
Well I've collected some Media which features Androids, maybe you find something new to explore!

Dear Gothic Lolita lover

This manga is about Gothic world and clothes.
Frills, lace, ribbons🎀,rose…Gothic and Lolita adorned with opulent decorations.

Girls wearing such Gothic Lolita are cute! Don't you think? Sometimes they are cool! Don't you think?

Stories featuring artificially-created beings that are made to look and act like humans.

mainly consist of shoujo, josei, and maybe seinen

Stories featuring plots centered around “dolls” &/or main protagonists who are “dolls” themselves

titles that feature animated dolls, toys, golems, androids, AIs, magical constructs, or robots as characters either imitating humans, becoming humans, or learning how to understand the complexities of human emotions. characters must be main cast or feature predominantly in the story. humans masquerading as dolls or robots may also be considered!

not on MAL:
Puppet by YinFu
'After having lost his son many years ago, an elderly carpenter seeks to reunite with him by reviving him as a wooden puppet. While they live happily together in a peaceful village, their newfound lives would all be disrupted when news of a serial killer erupts. What challenges will they face now?'

Sounashi no Ningyou by Fuyujima Kure
'Dolls, similar to robots, are an essential part of everyday life in this world. Dolls shaped like horses pull carriages, while others are pets. Doll doctors are in short supply, and though she is young, Mercia is one of the best. When her master asks her to visit a friend's house, she meets a doll who looks like a child, another that is a murderous warrior, and a man who covers his burns with doll parts. Together, they begin a quest to recover the 76 dolls of the mysterious Nimo, in order to create the ultimate, original doll.'

Android Box Oneshot by Ike Junko
'An heiress and an emotion-capable android try to escape her father's guards.'

Just a list of the Shojo and Josei manga that have been released in hardcover edition in English.

I tried to compile an extensive list of the English Licensed Shojo and Josei manga titles where romance is a sub-plot at best, if present at all (many of these don't have any romance present).

Part 1-dark/horror/thriller: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/my
Part 2-Fantasy/Supernatural: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/57092
Part 4-Cute Stories: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/57096
Part 5-Character dramas/Modern Real-Life Japan: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/57100

This is a list of the Shojo and Josei manga with sci-fi elements licensed in english. Some lean more into the hard sci-fi elements than others, but whether it be aliens, mecha, robots, a futuristic world, futuristic steampunk, or space they will be included. Some "hide" their sci-fi elements or treat them similar to magic, so keep that in mind.

Honorable Mention: Nausicäa of the Valley of the Wind

*Iguana no Musume/Iguana Girl is a stand-in for the Anthology collection "A Drunken Dream and Other Stories" released by Fantagraphics in a large trim delux hardcover.

Manga series with covers that feature recurring design and composition elements, consistent art styles, gradual changes that show intent and overall harmony of the entire collection. I'm open to suggestions, I try not to add too many “standing character” situations, but will do so if the art is striking enough.
