Two of my favorite things are music and manga, this stack combines the 2 by compiling manga based on songs. A majority of these are based on Vocaloid songs since they tend to get adaptations, however manga like Hatsune Mix that are just based on the Vocaloids are not counted. I'm also only adding 1 series per producer since lots have multiple like Mothy, Honeyworks, and Teniwoha

All links are for the songs on YouTube, I tried to use official uploads if available
