Mangas that provide a(n) immersive/fluid reading experience because of their dynamic composition/panel structure/art, and well-timed & well-selected dialogue and evocative character expressions. Characters/action come to life as the reader has to do less work to “fill in the blanks”, so to speak. Dramatic effects have high impact, but the comedy (if any) is where some of these mangas really shine.

This stack is kinda like a 2-in-1 as it contains great comedies but also non-comedies; in my experience, good flow is a prerequisite for successful comedic execution in this medium.

Stack notes:
- Entries noted with “*LOL” are great comedies i.e. funny enough to make me (and hopefully you) actually laugh out loud
- Contains BL (boys love)

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.

Any manga that features a female protagonist that is involved with otaku culture. This can range from anime and manga, idols, video games, fandoms, or other subgenres.

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

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

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

manga where an idol and a fan have a chance meeting and become friends, lovers, or coworkers! titles will not be considered if the fan is not enough of a diehard or if they change allegiance to another idol: these fans have to be nigh religious about their idol worship! streamers or online personas may be considered as idols, provided that they sing or perform. novelists, actors, or celebrities of other kinds will not be considered; this is about penlights and ita bags, people!

(updating!)

not on MAL:
2.5-Jigen no Oshi ga Classmate ni Narimashita!? by Tsukushiro Yuri
'"I'm completely addicted to the 2.5D swamp, and in my class, Rinto Kogami, the actor I'm most in love with, transfers to my school!" You can see the various sides of my guesses in the classroom, and their school life starts to become too precious and tough! A short love comedy with lots of insight into the "guessing game"!'

Oshi ga Buka ni Narimashita by Kogeta Okoge & Ryo (MITO Ryou)
'Tsuneda Sayaka is a 29 year-old who works at an advertising firm. One day, an idol in a business suit descended upon her! Sayaka started to lose her bearings because not only did her "bias" suddenly become her subordinate, he also started becoming physically intimate... Here's the start of Sayaka's awkward love battle!'

I Became the Superior of My Favorite Idol Who Retired Oneshot by Yukio Yuki
'Idol Chico retires. Yama-san, who was a top fan, is overcome with a sense of loss. Meanwhile, the office worker who joined the company mid-career turns out to be the former idol...!?'

A Story About An Otaku and An Idol Oneshot by Amemikuro
'A fan of an idol looks back on how they first met and how things have changed since then.'

basically all the mangas (some with anime adaptations!) that will probably scratch that gekkan shoujo nozaki-kun itch for you. they are all ultimately their own thing, but tend to share common themes, genres and vibes. ranked from least gekkan shoujo nozaki-kun to the most gekkan shoujo nozaki-kun <3

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)
