TVM Comics, is a now defunct vietnamese manga publisher. It well known back in mid 2000's and 2010's for published many popular Shonen Jump and Shoujo series. The company founded in 2007, an obsidinary company of TVM Corp, for publishing fully license manga series.

Due to around that time, Vietnam is well known for pirate manga and books instead of fully license. Among those, popular publishers in Vietnam like Kim Đồng and Trẻ Publishing House who mostly published pirate manga around that time. But thanks to TVM Comics, it consider help other willing to license out. It also know that TVM Corp, the parent company also responsible for dubbing anime in vietnamese, many popular series such as Dragonball, Cardcaptor Sakura, Captain Tsubasa, Azumanga Daioh, etc,... This company is consider of Tokyopop/ ADV Films of Vietnam.

But unfortunately, even all of many success, the company went bankrupt in 2019. Due to poor sales and around that times where manga isn't no where near hugely popular as of now. Most of the series that they published around that time, either stop or let another company pickup to continue they left off. Even tho, they no longer exist but their legacy still lives on in many manga collectors heart.

I will pick some series that they published, either gone along with them or others pickup.

I made this list because I'm tired of people generalizing shoujo and saying it's all romance, so here are some shoujo manga from varius genres (horror, psychological, action, drama, etc.) that are violent and dark! Check the trigger warnings for some of these.

A spooky-themed stack list featuring a variety of shoujo manga: from goofy otaku vampires to the creepiest twists on your favorite fairytales, you'll find the perfect shoujo thrill for your heart here!

— This stack is sorted alphabetically, and each item includes the reason it was picked, the level of spookiness (low, medium, or high), and the languages in which the titles are available.
— Since it's tough to track every single licensing update for manga, it's likely that I might have missed some for the titles in this stack. Feel free to let me know if that's the case!
— 'Level of Spookiness' is entirely subjective, and titles marked as *medium* or *high* may be revised later.

[⚠️ For items marked as *medium* or *high* in spookiness, it's highly recommended to check MangaUpdates or similar databases for specific trigger warnings. Please read at your own discretion.]

Just a list of Shojo and Josei manga that began publishing before 1990 that have been officially published in english, although some are Out of Print or from defunct digital publishers and thus are no longer legally available.

I can't seem to add this one, but Sign wa V!/The V Sign! (1969) was officially published as well (https://myanimelist.net/manga/125803/Sign_wa_V)

This one isn't in the MyAnimeList database, but Pairazahda/Pairazada (1984) is legally published and available digitally in english (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07757Y1X9?ref_=dbs_m_cmx_rwt_calw_tkin_0&storeType=ebooks)

(database entry: https://www.mangaupdates.com/series/yrzhtz5/pairazada)

Some Pre-1990s Shojo stories without database entries from Moto Hagio were published in the English Anthology "A Drunken Dream and Other Stories". These include Angel Mimic/Tenshi no Gitai (1984), Autumn Journey/Aki no Tabi (1971), and Girl on Porch with Puppy/Pochi de Shōjo ga Koinu to (1971).

Himitsu no Akko-chan was published in Japan in a Bilingual English edition intended to be an english-learning aide to japanese people.

The Shojo stories Plus 1 (1986) and Purple (1985) from Ciao magazine were published in english in Animerica Extra's Short Program Volume 1 Anthology which was later released in its own collected volume in the US (https://myanimelist.net/manga/1443/Short_Program).

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).
