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.

Here I put some of the romance manhwas that I love and some even have a few similarities, types like Historical (Duke/Duchess, Prince/Princess, Empress/Emperor, King/Queen, Lady), Villainess/Villains, Family, Magic, and a few modern ones...

My absolute favorite fantasy romance manhwa so far. Most of these stories feature strong female leads.

A lot of these I have also read the novels for either to completion or near completion and I loved them as novels as well as manhwa. Usually novels give more details and personal storylines (since they're usually told from first person perspective). The novel romance scenes are usually more involved than their manhwa adaptations. So if you love any of these that started out as a novel, do check out the novel! Because you'll probably love it just as much if not more for the extra detail.

Two manhwa that MAL doesn't have listings for yet that I will add later:
1. Under the Oak Tree - The ultimate trash soap opera fantasy romance. Grab a bag of popcorn for this hot mess. It will not disappoint.
2. I Raised A Black Dragon - Super cute couple, fun fantasy / mystery story. Artwork is also cute.

Additional Notes: I personally adored the novel for "Return of the Female Knight" (aka "Return of Elena the Knight" manhwa). I've read the novel 5 times already. Maybe I'm too biased from reading the novel but I couldn't enjoy the manhwa. It is similar in tone to "From A Knight to a Lady". Personally, I like the themes in "Return of the Female Knight" (novel) better. So do check it out if you enjoyed "From A Knight to a Lady". It feels wrong of me not to include ROTFK on here but I just can't put it in a list titled "Best Manhwa".

💭 This is ranked (as much as possible) by the male white-haired character's level of "male leadness" and since this is more or less a stack of romance manhwas, the criteria we're going to go with is that they should be the main love interest or endgame for the female lead.
💭 Therefore, there will actually be manhwas listed here that features the white-haired character as a second/third/etc. lead, support role, or in general just doesn't apply to the criteria we're following above. Don't worry as I'll be very specific about it as possible to prepare you for the heartbreak.
💭 The MLs' name would also be mentioned. The manhwa's synopsis would also be added right after so if you don't want to see any of that, I would recommend switching to tile/seasonal view.

[ above all else,, i really just need a compilation list of white-haired male leads for research purposes and not because i have a personal bias for silver mls (i do), 'tis all :> pls ignore me thank u (o_ _)ﾉ彡☆ ]

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 ;-;

Occidental historical manhwas.
The stories contain themes like romance, revenge, isekai, reincarnation, back in time and wars.
The main characters are women. I added some with men as protagonists.


Most of the titles are added as I've discovered them. If you want me to add a new title, just send me a message :)
