All the shojo and josei manga that got printed in english in 2022, this is for my own reference but if it can help someone else find something new then i'll be glad <3

Titles that should be in this list but are missing from database:
- Akuyaku Seijo desu ga, Aisuru Danna-sama no Oyaku ni Tachitai desu. (To wa ie, Kirewarete Iru no desu ga)
- AYAKA - Muzzle Flash Back!
- Kogitsune, Warawara
- Mahoutsukai no Yakusoku
- Nanji Nanpun Chikyuu ga Nankai Mawattara

Other Comic Zero-Sum-related stacks:
- Manga that ended in Comic Zero-Sum in 2014-2018 - https://myanimelist.net/stacks/35537
- Manga that ended in Comic Zero-Sum in 2019-2023 - https://myanimelist.net/stacks/35538

Any female-oriented manga that primarily revolves around the lives of musical idols.

Note: I did not include any series that were overly explicit, or that I could not find much information about.

(Includes Manhwa and Manhua. No side series of anime/games included)

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 2: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/56770

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 tried to compile an extensive list of the English Licensed Shojo and Josei manga titles where romance is a sub-plot at best, if present at all (many of these don't have any romance present).

Part 1-dark/horror/thriller: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/my
Part 2-Fantasy/Supernatural: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/57092
Part 3-Sci-fi/Historical/Mystery: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/57098
Part 5-Character dramas/Modern Real-life Japan: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/57100

Manga/Manhwa where there are central non-romantic relationship(s), ie friends, teacher-student, something in between etc but not family/found family, I have a different stack for that

Some of these may have romance as well but it's not between the main characters and/or it's a subplot that often doesn't result in the characters actually getting together

Not on MAL:
-Susu, Han: About a pair of estranged siblings reconnecting, and their group of friends. Good comedy and drama.
-The Competition: About a violin competition, has friendships and sibling relationships. Good drama.
-The Wolf and Little Red Riding Hood: A group of outcasts become friends. Great comedy.
-Our Time: Adorable friendship between a boy who can stop time and a girl who can only be free from her coma in his stopped time.

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).
