Manga always kept within easy reach for reread, Part 1 (Manga beside series)

I was tweeting about the manga I keep by my bedside for those midnight reread urges; the list reached 14 so I decided to transfer it here.

Not in any particular order:

1. SC: I Hate You But I Love You (Kiss, Zekkou, Kiss) by Fujiwara Yoshiko
2. Let's Go Home (Ouchi e Kaerou) by Ichikawa Show
3. Master and I (Goshujinsama to Watashi) by Yamada Komomo
4. Misunderstand Girl & Angry Prince (Kanchigai Musume to Buchigiri Ouji) by Shiumi Saki
5. My Prince (Ore-sama Ouji) by Aikawa Saki
6. Kingdom of The Beast (Hyakujuu Kingdom) by Takagi Shigeyoshi « kept only for the one-shot Bitter Trap actually
7. Miracle Blue (Aoi Kiseki) by Mitsuki Miko
8. Red Haired Snow White (Akagami no Shirayukihime) by Akizuki Sorata
9. Oh Butterfly, Oh Flower (Chou yo Hana yo) by Yoshihara Yuki
10. Beyond the Blindfold (Mekakushi no Kuni) by Tsukuba Sakura
11. My Lovely Honey (Barairo My Honey) by Ohmi Tomu
12. Ghost Hunt by Inada Shiho & Ono Fuyumi✱
13. Skip Beat! by Nakamura Yoshiki✱
14. Alice in the Country of Hearts (Heart no Kuni no Alice) by QuinRose x Hoshino Soumei
15. School Hotel (Gakkou Hotel) by Morie Satoshi

✱Selected volumes only

This list doesn't include series that require marathoning from the beginning whenever there's a new release (to maximize reading pleasure) like My Sweet Kaicho (Kaichou wa Maid-Sama) by Fujiwara Hiro and Electric Daisy (Dengeki Daisy) by Motomi Kyousuke.

I guess it's not surprising that the stacks near me are all shoujo/josei, huh? Bishounen angst after all is best savored at midnight.

Anyhoo, so which manga do you keep around for reread? Pls feel free to share in the comments. I'm curious. ^^

My Prince, originally Ore-sama Ouji, is a shoujo romance first serialized in Sho-Comi. It stars Sawa, the daughter of a judo dojo owner who happens to detest the martial arts. She just wants to spend life as an Ordinary High School Student, but her wish is summarily trampled upon by Sumikura-senpai, and before she knows it, Sawa ends up the school judo club manager.

Aside from the titular オレ様王子 (My Prince), there are two more stories in this anthology from Aikawa Saki, creator of Boku kara Kimi ga Kienai and Renai Joujou: 恋してる...。 (... in love) and 恋せよ!!女のコ (Love! Girl).
