starry eyes in 'vintage' manga

recently i've been looking at older shoujo (aimed at young teenage girls) genre of manga/illustration (but I'd never read them before, maybe I should) as some of the styles has always stood out as extremely dreamy and unrealistically starry (which is not a bad thing at all) there's something really captivating about it.. sometimes it feels really sad or horrific, and I'm fascinated by the potential range that this has.

I looked back at the British Museum manga exhibition photos and here are some really big artists (original works!):

the second one is by takahashi macoto;

(while I'm at it, gonna drop some more iconic sci-fi manga works from the exhibition here..)

I have to say I am really inspired by the details in manga, there's never any dead space.. I want my drawings to be like that too..

(wiki)
'Regardless of its source, an explosion of artistic creativity occurred in the post-war period, involving manga artists such as Osamu Tezuka (Astro Boy) and Machiko Hasegawa (Sazae-san). Astro Boy quickly became (and remains) immensely popular in Japan and elsewhere, and the anime adaptation of Sazae-san drawing more viewers than any other anime on Japanese television in 2011. Tezuka and Hasegawa both made stylistic innovations. In Tezuka's "cinematographic" technique, the panels are like a motion picture that reveals details of action bordering on slow motion as well as rapid zooms from distance to close-up shots. This kind of visual dynamism was widely adopted by later manga artists.[39] Hasegawa's focus on daily life and on women's experience also came to characterize later shōjo manga.'
