Trying to find a niche manga

I’m looking for a manga focused on how a mysterious girl (I think she had short white hair) appears mysteriously to different people, and somehow helps them out, it didn't have a continuous plot, but a “new person is helped each chapter” kind of thing going on. One of the chapters I remember involved a train and this girl being seen through the train’s windows, and the scenery where she was was very different from what it was supposed to be.. like wide, green plains or something... It also had a strong iyashikei vibe if I’m not wrong.

Its been a long while since I’ve read this manga, and I’ve forgotten its name, so if anyone could help, it’d be much appreciated!

The mysterious white haired girl part remind me of Waraenu Douji. Most likely Isn't what you looking for tho.

She doesn't have short hair but it's white! She doesn't particularly help people I think, though it's been a while since I've read it. This series somewhat has the theme of what you described but I'm not confident it's what you're looking for.

Some more things I remembered about the manga, the girl always wore a sweater (a turtleneck I think?) and jeans/sweatpants, I can’t remember which

This looks interesting so I went to look for it but...

Are you sure about the white haired protagonist? I tried bakaupdates, generally that works but not here. "White hair" tag gave nothing, same for "Mysterious female protagonist", and "Iyashikei".
The bakaupdates tag are usually too many rather than too few, so its unexpected.

On MD, the combination Psychological + Slice of Life (is a treasure trove by the way) at most gave https://www.mangadex.org/title/34996/lisa-and-the-town, and the first few images are realy similar to what you describe... But it's a one shot. I may have missed it but I think that what you look for isn't in this tag combination.

I thought that looking for groups likely to have scanlated it might work. So far I went to see Lovely Strange Dark directory (https://lsd.mangadex.com/projects/) but yet again nothing. I don't usually remember group names, so this one is the only one that came to mind. If you know who could have translated it, maybe give it a look.

@haikaka I’m fairly certain about the short hair, but now I’m starting to doubt the white part.. I’m fairly certain her hair wasn’t shaded though.. thanks !

@ zdarkbrz_816 not any of those, but thanks...!

Can you give a range estimate of how many years ago you’ve read it? Do you remember whether the series was dropped, ongoing, or completely translated by the time you last read the series? Lastly, considering the artstyle, can you say which demographic the series was targeted to (Seinen, Josei, Shonen, Shoujo)? Providing such info helps a lot with these kinds of “Trying to find ___” posts.

Hm... I read it.. between 3 to 5 years ago I believe? I think it had two parts, one complete and the other ongoing at the time, so it might have been a reserialized series? Going by the story and artstyle, I’m guessing it fell into the shoujo/josei category

Not a helpful response:

This reminds me of one time I spend aaaages searching for this sports manga I remembered the description of and wanted to read. It was something like: a talented up-and-coming baseball pitcher has some success, but then has an accident and isn't seen again. Then, a few years later, a mysterious new pitcher appears, who is blind but brilliant....

After spending a few days searching for this with completely no luck, I also started to feel like I'd halluciinated the whole thing....until I realised that it was a possible manga plot the MCs of Bakuman came up with, and not a real manga at all!! 😅
