find solace in the ultimate slice of life series

There's a bunch of guys in circle who has some characteristic in this circle. However the genre, their relationship with the MC's trully fresh and bonding quite strong to each other.

slice of life/romance/drama/comedy/reverse harem/cross dressing (BL not include)

Now let it do the Boyys...

The CGDCT (Cute girls doing cute things) Genre is a fairly popular genre amongst users. But scrolling though the stacks i found more and more Stacks which are doing the opposite... Cute Boys doing cute things? Many Anime Stack were made... but now im here!

With many thousands boys-love titles and titles which are not tagged as BL... i searched a collection of them, a small and user friendly (aka. no explicit tagged material includet) stack. Have fun exploring :)

A guide for anyone looking to explore more modern shoujo and not knowing where to start and optimized for variety.

This stack includes shoujo that began in 2010-2019 categorized by genre in order to cover a multitude of subjects and feature diverse stories. I tried to feature many popular and influential series that might be useful for exploring the demographic, with a few lesser known ones to add to the genre diversity.

The genres are sorted as follows:

High School Romance
Fantasy and Supernatural
Queer Series
Historical
Romcoms and Comedy
Trashy Series of Ill Repute
Isekai
Heavy Drama and Darker Themes
Episodic Slice of Life and Career Oriented stories

An interest stack featuring the top 20 winners of the Kono Manga ga Sugoi!" (This Manga is Amazing! aka このマンガがすごい) annual magazine for 2020, with female and male winners included (so 40 winners total).

This stack will feature both male and female category winners, alternating between the female and male winners, from first place to twentieth place.

Note that there can be ties here (usually two-way), and if a category is missing some place (for example, missing 14th place in the male's category), it usually indicates that either its title was not revealed as per the author's request, or there was a tie.

Please feel free to comment/DM if any information is off/missing.

The Shojo and Josei manga licensed by Yen press continued

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).

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).

Just like the title suggest, these mangas are easy to read and doesn't really have anything big going on in their plot. Some of them do, but it will just occur every now and then. All of them are still relatively light so I hope you can enjoy them after a long hours of work or school
