Recs if you like Natsume's Book of Friends, Volume 1...

Manga, Manhwa, Manhua, etc that warms the soul even if we're sobbing at the same time.

Manga that were in Shoujo Beat Magazine supposedly (I'm doing this in alphabetical order in English)

An eclectic mix of fantasy, sci-fi, and nonfiction that either reimagines our world, builds an entirely new one, or reveals the wonders of the real world. If a book is part of a series, I’ve only included the first one.

Manga that have anime adaptations.

Inspired by the popular in the 00s list, I wanted to make a list cataloguing all the manga I owned in high school. Please read to the tune of Somebody That I Used to Know by Gotye.

Stories (books, manga, manhwa, and fanfic) that live so rent free in my head I have to reread them. Minimum 3x reread.

Only the first book of the series included to not bloat the list
