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

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
They say it's the thought that counts, but then they tell you, "The road to hell is paved with good intentions......"
Will no one scanlate Takahashi Miyuki?! T_T

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 😕
