series that focus on women in a positive context! ig you could say feminist. Definitely normal about women, no weird sexualization/male gaze, have different types of women, are sympathetic to them, might be autobiographical w a female author, etc., . If I had a daughter, i'd encourage them to read it, yadda yadda.

Manga that feature diverse body types. Mainly chubby, average, or bigger female leads. Mixed bags of genres. Mostly romance, comedy, slice of life, ecchi.

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).
