Otome Isekai is a sub-genre of Isekai where the main character(s) are in some way transported to another world that resembles an otome game...

It is essentially the girly version of the modern shounen isekai that goes in the direction of female wish fulfillment. Instead of stuck in an action game, she's stuck in a romance novel or romance game. It is almost always "died and reborn there" rather than the sort of "stuck" we see in Sword Art Online or the "teleported" we saw in the 90s.

—r/OtomeIsekai (credit to definition)

Manga where the muscular/fit girl(s) is either a primary or important secondary character.




Let me know of any other manga I've missed.
Or not; you decide.

AKA: Lady knights in rofan webtoons.

For now... no mercenaries on this list, even if they act noble and knight-like (sorry Cassmire).

Message for any missed series; I tried my best ;-;

Not on MAL
Depths of Malice
Your Eternal Lies


add more as I read more :)

At least one main female character is physically strong, preferably the protagonist.

Physical strength applies both to hand-to-hand combat and proficiency in wielding weaponry (marksmanship, swordsmanship, archery etc.) as well as ability and talent in a physical sport.

No magical/supernatural power allowed unless it enhances physical strength.

A shoujo manga means a comic published in a magazine targeted towards the young female demographic (under 18) in Japan.

Josei means a comic published in a magazine targeted towards the mature female demographic in Japan.

Court intrigue means political games in a feudal monarchy and aristocracy-based setting similar to Game of Thrones's political machinations. The court intrigue theme is usually part of the historical or fantasy genre.

Isekai/reincarnation in a novel or video game world isn't allowed. The isekai/parallel world has to be diegetic (has to be real in the story and not a novel or video game world created by a human).

Time travel in the same body is okay.

Female characters that possess mental fortitude and don't break under pressure. They must have great resilience in the face of difficult or dangerous situations or even tragedy. They don't have to be super smart or geniuses, mental fortitude/stoicism is what matters. Preferably physical strength isn't their main characteristic but their mental fortitude.

A list of Manhwas that finished publishing in September 2023.


Updated: 12/15/2024

A list of Romance/Fantasy Manhwas WITHOUT themes such as Isekai, Reincarnation, or Time Travel.

Female knights who are protagonists/major characters. Includes crossdressing characters who could be interpreted with some gender ambiguity as long as they aren't canonically confirmed to be trans guys.

See also Lady Knights - https://myanimelist.net/stacks/27570, featuring lady knights in romance webtoons. I'll mostly be excluding what's already on their list :)
