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?

manga recommendations that might scare you or make you curious with so much mystery. have fun reading!

(TW: GORE/ABUSE)

This manga stack is for any shoujo or josei manga that prominently features zombies.

Note: I did not include any overly-explicit titles.

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

Otherworldly and/or monstrous features creeping into character design, art style, and/or otherwise general aesthetics; prominent uses of orange, black, and stripes, perhaps even gothic and/or chilling fairy tales—whether or not it's actually set in Halloween, these anime fit the spirit (or at least at any Hot Topics near you!) ⋆

I'm surprised that there isn't a name to this specific kind of aesthetic I've been craving. I seriously want to see more cute anime that embraces the spookiness in ways like Soul Eater or Hells did.


Non-manga examples:
Over the Garden Wall, Coraline, Corpse Bride, Devil's Candy, Tim Burton, Gekidan Inu Curry

September 3 - 7, 2024: thanks for putting this on the Interest Stacks front page <3

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).
