Hello, I'm analysing some arts and there is references/mangas in the backgrounds of it. I identified most of them, but a few continue to elude me. Here are the screenshots of what I search, it's blurry but this is the best quality I was able to get : 4f2e5a

Some clues that I got: for the first one, it seems to be published by Kadokawa Comics A, I tried to search every manga in 17 volumes from this publisher, no success. Thought I found Bungo Stray Dogs and Maoyu Mao Yusha extremely similar in looks and by the same publisher, but that's not it.

For the second one, it's published by Shonen Comics, but that's all I got.

No clue for the third.

For the fourth, I swear I'm able to read "Sion" or "Sian" or something like this, I tried every letter variant of that but never got any success.

And for the last, I tried to search for every manga character that is a blonde in japanese uniform in databases, but no success either.

After hours of fail and disappointment, I'm looking for your help.

Do you recognise any, please?

The first one is Overlord (オーバーロード).

The second one seems to contain the kanji "de" or 出, here's a search on series that are classified as shounen and contain 出 in the title. There's only 3 pages, and if the manga in question is listed on the site, it's probably one of those. [Click me]

Actually, I think I recognize the unibrow on one of the spines, it could very well be KochiKame. Check that one and if not, check the search I linked above.

The others are indecipherable and your best hope is someone recognizing the art/spine designs.

o m g yesss the 2 you mentioned are correct, that's a huge progress already

ty!!!

Can you tell us where you found those images? More contextual clues can help narrow down the range of search.

I increased the resolution of the fourth image so it's alllllmost legible. Can someone read this now?

Hi I believe the last one you linked (https://www.imghippo.com/i/vzOD4027VJ.png) the cover at least to the far right is most definitely the character Kawakami, Mai from this light novel: https://mangaupdates.livresgratuits.org/manga/64225/Musaigen_no_Phantom_World

unsure if the chibi is the same character though 🤔

hope it helps a little😊
