Manga that were published under the Shojo Beat/Shojo imprint by Viz Media.

Isekai, or tranport to another world/realm, has been around for a long time. Historically we have legends of travel to fae realms like tir na nog, we have japanese folk tales of being transported to the sea kingdom, we have famous literature like The Wizard of Oz and Alice in Wonderland.

So, "Isekai" is not a new concept. However, its appearance in japanese manga and anime (when not a direct adaptation of the previously mentioned literature), is somewhat new. I decided to pull together a small timeline of the female-lead isekai manga, anime and light novels. I am not including Sci-fi works where they simply travel to different planets through space, as that is its own separate category and has its own distinct history of development and works it draws on.
