The Shogakukan Manga Award (小学館漫画賞, Shōgakukan Mangashō) is one of Japan's major manga awards, sponsored by Shogakukan Publishing. It has been awarded annually for serialized manga since 1955 and features candidates from a number of publishers. Each winning work will be honored with a bronze statuette and a prize of 1 million yen (about US$9,000). Special awards are also occasionally given out for outstanding work, lifetime achievement, and so forth.

Worldbuilding - "the process of constructing a world, originally an imaginary one, sometimes associated with a fictional universe." These kinds of manga are usually set in a fantasy and/or sci-fi world, and excel at establishing & showcasing the rules/history/economy of their fictional universe. List was created through collective data from multiple websites of people's answers as to what manga are considered to have great world building.

Must Haves:
1. Strong-- meaning badass, witty, professional, etc.
2. Loving-- having a kind, funny, inspirational, or complex personality. Not just a generic strong superwoman.
3. Female-- objectively female in the universe of the manga.
4. Lead-- being the center character of the manga or sharing the same amount of screen time as a male lead.
5. Be good

If the majority of survival mangas focus on boys, some prefer focusing on girls.

Manga with exceptionally good artwork, not something that's the same boring black and white generic faces/body types. But instead manga that takes its artwork seriously, the artist knows how to create a scene, give each character unique appearances.

manga recommendations that might scare you or make you curious with so much mystery. have fun reading!

(TW: GORE/ABUSE)

Manga about people surviving in all kind of different situations or environments.


Trying to exclude the "survival game' type stories and I haven't red all of them so maybe some don't really fit.

Hit me up for any recommendations.

Here are all the shoujo 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 serious drama and slice of life series, then period and fantasy action and war series, then science-fiction series, then magical girl series, then series for younger audiences, then romance comedies, then drama slice of life romances, then horror and supernatural manga, and lastly, important ongoing series.

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

shoujo and josei titles that may appeal more to shounen/seinen readers looking to get into the demographic but want to avoid the stereotypical shoujo romances told from the female POV

Based on sales I found online.
