the era of big-eyed shoujo characters

I wouldve dropped these so fast if the art wasnt so appealing

This is my compilation of shoujo and josei series that I think could maybe, possibly get an anime. We've been getting a lot lately and I wanna see what guesses I make turn out to be correct.

I do not include manhwa in this stack anymore because I am not knowledgeable enough about it (though I do feel like Abandoned Empress will get an anime at some point...).

Correct Predictions:
- Mr. Villain's Day Off
- A Condition Called Love
- A Sign of Affection
- 7th Time Loop
- Dahlia in Bloom
- Nina the Starry Bride
- Anyway, I'm Falling in Love with You
- Honey Lemon Soda
- Tamon's B-Side
- The Holy Grail of Eris
- Koori no Jouheki

Series not on MAL that I think have a chance to get anime:
-Oni no Hanayome (LN and manga)

Romance stories to warm and heal your heart

Here is a list for fellow manga collectors and fans of mahou shoujo, a genre featuring many young girls receiving magical powers and (more often than not) a dress that's as cute as the aesthetic! Can be treated as a rec list for those new to the genre, as it will mainly (and primarily) feature magical girl manga you can find English copies of to read and buy today. Not meant to be a complete/definitive list.

Do note that this list will include magical-girl-adjacent titles, or some fantasy series that aren't usually considered to be part of the genre by some parts of the community—I'll try to put explanations for my reasoning in including them/why I feel they should be considered as a magical girl title... whether you're convinced on the classification or not, hopefully you might still be sold on checking it out regardless.

Physical releases that have been out of print, or will not be printed brand new in stores anymore, will also be included and indicated as such. To find these prints/series, you will need to look outside of your usual bookstores to find used/pre-owned copies. Good luck finding some of these, especially if you're particularly looking for more affordable prices!
Aside from marketplaces like eBay and Mercari, I also recommend checking the following sites as I've found many manga with decent pricing and item conditions from them:
https://www.abebooks.com/
https://www.alibris.com/
https://www.biblio.com/

Here is a list of manga for those who can't get enough of fairies, faeries, fair folk, or however else one describes the fae! Searched far and wide for these, but still possibly not a definite/complete list.


March 14th - March 16th, 2023: thanks for putting this on the Interest Stacks front page, hell yeah

November 4th, 2023: second time on main Interest Stacks page babyy

January 17, 2025: I am flattered that this would be featured on the main IS page again. Thank you.

featuring wealthy and high-class female characters (mostly they laugh like "OHOHOHOHO" and i'm here for it)

ok maybe not all of these are shoujo but most of them are (i think most of these are really obscure and are just from my personal experience, but hey maybe some of you relate with this somehow)

not on mal:

List of manga with drama cd/voice manga/pv with characters voiced by Nakamura Yuuichi

This is a list of "nice" shoujo mangas that I don't think they're good enough to deserve to be read a second time.
Some are very obvious but are enough entertaining if you are looking for a light read.

I have listed some of the romance manga that you can find completely translated into spanish on TMO (tu manga online).
The order in which they are placed refers to how much I liked them (or how much I expect I will like them).

Uber-kawaii Y2K girly pop manga you HAVE to read if you wanna feel like the I T G I R L...or if you just really like silly kiddie shojo from the 2000s like me. =)

A lot of sparkles, a lot of frills, a lot of bright colours, a lot of elementary-level girly goodness that you probably have come across if you were a wee manga reader from the mid-to-late 2000s--if that's what you're looking for, it's here.

A portion of these titles are more on the 子供向け (kodomo-muke) side--that is, they're aimed towards the younger sub-demographic within the greater shojo demographic, and that's evident by the simplistic or even downright goofy plots in contrast to the ornate, super-stylized nature of their art (TLDR; Empty brain like shiny pink thing with no substance--and that is nothing to be ashamed of,) but in general, they're all fun reads, no matter what age you are.
