I'm looking for very unique/rare mangas that have song recommendations when reading the chapter...which gives the readers a very unique reading experience since the song flows so well with the chapter!

(It would be GREAT if it's NOT a musical manga (e.g Nodame and Piano no mori) to start with.)

Two very fine examples would be:

Hotel one-shot
which has the lyric of Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful world"

7 Seeds
in some chapters, the mangaka put references to several songs/classical music which really really fit well with the flow of the chapter.

e.g
Chapter 13 - Bridge over troubled water
Chapter 38 - Humoresque
Chapter 36 - Rides of Valkyries
Chapter 37 - No. 1 Morning Mood
Chapter 40 - Song of Farewell
Chapter 39 - Fatherland

and many many awesome chapters.

Edit:

I'm also looking for mangas which have scenes where a character sings, and there's lyrics in it.
e.g like this page
>>link<<

sorry if I'm requesting for a very specific manga 🤢

How about Sukima Shiki? Each story is based on a song.

Yes, they are songs by a J-pop group called Sukima Switch. 😉

Or the anime Cowboy Bebop. Each episode is named for a song, I believe. That aside, it's a fantastic series. not shouting

Clover may fit, but I'm not sure if the song really exists or CLAMP simply made it up or if they released it later. I think I found video with the song years ago 😕
