All the Shojo and Josei manga releasing in print format in 2024! If im missing anything please feel free to let me know <3


We have once again reached the time where i have to split this into two stacks ^_^ hooray for so much shoujosei manga

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.

This list is specifically for the Shojo and Josei licenses Tokyopop has come out with in English AFTER their major implosion in the 2000s, so it focuses on what they've published after re-entering the english market.

I haven't included their disney manga or OEL comics since that's its own separate thing and has its own section on their website. Additionally, a large chunk of their catalog nowadays is BL and GL, and there are lists that have done that work already and listed those out under "LGBTQ+ Tokyopop manga", so I didn't bother to check every single BL or GL to see if they were published in a Shojo or Josei magazine or magazine equivalent. Check out that list if you want to search the variety of GL and BL and LGBTQ+ manga they have published.

*note that Aqua is the first few volumes of Aria that were originally published in a Shojo magazine before the manga moved to a Shonen magazine and changed names.

*Kusuri no Mamono no Kaiko Riyuu/My Contract with the Apothecary Monster doesn't have a MAL page

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 3-Sci-fi/Historical/Mystery: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/57098

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).
