Just as the title says, manga about food and cooking that are worth your time.

Long standing Japanese sweet shops with succession dilemmas or newcomers trying to break into a traditional industry, pour a cup of tea and enjoy.

Honorable mention to Oishinbo Chapter 19.

Need some shojo mystery don't worry this local edgelord gotcha like i got a pokemon from its now godforsakenly cancerous state lol.

Want to get your monthly dose of toxic relationships? We got everything from hyper obsessive parents to extremely melodramatic couples! This is a relationship guide for everything you 100% SHOULD NOT do in real life.

** The toxicity is one of the focal points of the manga. I have marked why they are toxic. Everything listed appears in the first few chapters. Some manga may have more toxic elements than what is posted, however it'll appear later in the manga and I don't want to spoil!

Please use list view!

Not everyone likes these adaptations but the intention is either to please those of us who like to see these things or at least take these manga into account to expand the list.
Dramas, Kdramas....

No a todos les gustan estas adaptaciones pero la intención es ya sea complacer a quienes nos gusta ver estas cosas o al menos tomar en cuenta estos mangas para ampliar la lista.

Manga featuring chocolatiers, patissiers, and confectioners.

Here are all the josei manga I think one should read in order to cover all bases. I organized this list by general theme, with publishing series at the bottom.

We start off with the classic slice of life and coming of age stories, then to a couple of autobiographical manga, then to the dark and realistic drama stories, then to action and horror stories, then to mystery stories, then to the rom-coms, then to the more light-hearted slice of life stories, and lastly to the important ongoing series.

I'm currently using this list too, despite me being the one who created it!

Here are some of the best shoujosei mangas I've read so far. Most of them are school romance with comedy and/or drama. I did also include two classics of the magical girl genre and some with minor fantasy/ supernatural themes but no "real" fantasy mangas apart from that.

Shoujo edition (part 1): https://myanimelist.net/stacks/39586

A list of manga I think deserve more love and recognition.... and an anime :') I'll update as I read and find more hidden gems LOL

* Gradually Close to the Heart (CN)
* The Stars and I (CN)
* Day by Day (KR)
* First Love Operation (KR)

* Ba-Couple? Iie Baka desu. (Coupledom 101) (JP)

There are some entries where "childhood friend" is a bit loose (aka, middle/high school friends and together later as adults). I prefer the long-term best friend types, as well as the ones where, even though it was a short time, they made a lasting impact on the other.

This is a list of the Shojo and Josei manga that have received physical releases from Kodansha, even if some of them are Out of Print.

Part 1: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/56768

Notably, I am NOT including any titles which have been physically released by Seven Seas or Yen Press in this list as Kodansha was not the one to give them a physical release.

I will include any titles which were previously published by another publisher that Kodansha has re-released.

I will also NOT include any titles released under Vertical Inc comics, which is under Kodansha. I have separate lists for Yen Press, Seven Seas and Vertical Inc Shojo and Josei releases. (For manga physically released under Vertical, see this list: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/56497)

I'm defining "modern" Shojo and Josei manga to mean anything that began being published in 2013 or later. Obviously personal taste plays a role in whether you'll like something. I'm also trying to focus on Shojo and Josei manga licensed in English officially, so some excellent stories will sadly be missing from this list (they should probably get their own at some point).
