There are only a few manga translated in Greek, mainly because the Greeks interested in manga usually know enough English to read it in that language, and thus publishers don't usually bother with translating. Also for this reason the existing Greek translations are very partial, covering only a few volumes, and usually only in physical format, since they don't bother with making ebooks. Still, here I gather the ones I'm aware of in one place.

A manga interest stack featuring human-presenting female leads with non-human-presenting male leads.
Non-human can refer to monster, animal, furry, inanimate, werewolf, kemonomimi, etc.
Some of these are romance between the two however it's not required.

Number of sales and date that number was acquired from in notes for each. Some of them I have personally estimated a higher figure than the date says.

No. 147 would be the Himitsu Series of books. It's for children and I can't find it on MAL. It has 116 volumes and started in 1972, and has sold 23 million (June 10th, 2018).

The problem in a lot of romances is that instead of an actual love triangle it's just a love corner - two "options" making the MC decide on one of them. This list has love triangles where the relationships are more than meets the eye - maybe all three even love each other (best friends, caught in between siblings, etc.)

In the world of the anime and manga industry, it is rarely seen that a female manga artist comes at the top of the chain. Most of the popular anime series are written by male authors. One Piece, Naruto, AOT, Jujutsu Kaisen, all these notable manga’s are from male artists. And, there is no end to this list. But, what about anime by female manga artists?

Well, women are mostly don’t get the credit that they deserve to be and the same goes for the female mangaka. Their work always gets suppressed amid some big names and don’t get that much exposure as they should have.

So, considering this fact, in this article we have come up with a list of some notable anime by female manga writers that established their name in the best manga works of all time.

Let’s get started then.

Stories that are melancholic and sad, but have a hopeful outlook at the same time
This is my favourite tone of story, so any recommendations to add in are very much welcome!

This list is derived from The Anime Man's "The OFFICIAL Top 100 Manga Of All Time (According To The Internet) Is Actually Surprising..." video. The video goes over the results of an online poll that he created in which people could vote for their favorite manga series.

The poll, taken in 2018, garnered over 160,000 votes from the international anime community. This is a complete list of the results along with the total vote count for each series. The list is in descending order, meaning the manga with the most votes come first.

Some entries are omitted because they don't have a MAL page. This is usually because they're web comics or made outside of Japan. Those omitted entries are listed here:
#22: I Love Yoo (1,338 Votes)
#46: unOrdinary (717 Votes)

Note: In the video, Joey accidentally counts all votes for Seven Deadly Sins and THE Seven Deadly Sins separately, meaning that there are technically 99 manga in this list. In the true list, Seven Deadly Sins would've been #13 with 1,795 votes. However, I've kept it in it's original position for the sake of being consistent with the video. THE Seven Deadly Sins garnered 271 votes, tying it with #89 (Aku no Hana), hence why there is no #90 on this list.

You are reading a slow burn romance, and you start rooting for the second lead despite the odds being against them. Deep down, you know that 80% of the time the MC is gonna end up with the main lead. But you can't stop hoping since they feel more realistically flawed and human. In some cases, the second lead even ends up with the protagonist, and that's the closest feeling to winning the lottery.

If you are a masochist like me who loves rooting for second leads because of their less Mary-Sue, idealized traits, then this list is for you!

Some of these works have the second lead succeed in love, so stay tuned

We've all experienced that frustrated feeling of enjoying a manga/LN, only to find out that it has a horrible, rushed, incomplete, unsatisfying ending. Here is a list of manga/LNs with endings that are so fulfilling and complete that they will leave you with nothing but a heart full of contentment and/or bittersweetness. List was created through collective data from multiple websites of people's answers as to what shows are considered to have satisfying endings.

It can be a manga about cats or just feature one cat. Also: not exactly a house cat but any kind of feline.
