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

Manga that looks pretty (the story is secondary). Arranged (roughly) from best to worst, plot-wise. Updated rarely as I don't have time for animanga in general, but still ongoing regardless.

We need more beauty in the world...

Yo besties, I've been having a challenge of reading short manga.
so I thought of creating interest stacks for this challenge.
Some of the manga I've listed in the challenge aren't in MAL so I will list them in the description.
Each set (currently there are 15, and it continues) has 49 entries, and the manga vary in genres and popularity.
All of the manga are 1-5 volumes long, and I would love to see other people participating in this challenge!
(All of these should be scanlated, except for a few)

Manga in this set not listed in MAL:
Ai Naki Sabaku


Next set: (TBA)
Previous Set: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/34769

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

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!

(updating!!)

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.'

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.]

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 4-Cute Stories: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/57096
Part 5-Character dramas/Modern Real-life Japan: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/57100

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.
