The protagonist is in a position of aristocratic authority in Fantasy/Isekai. Includes Aristocracy/Nobility, Villainess/Villain, Duke/Duchess. The protagonist may also attain aristocratic authority (influence, political power) later in the story.

Note: this list excludes protagonists that are Royalty or Imperial Family (Prince, Princess, etc), and stories that are "Book World" or "Game World". Child protagonists will also be excluded (refer below).

if you're looking for a manga similar in theme to dungeon meshi, look no further! heres a collection of manga where the main cast are straight up eating monsters, creatures, mythical beasts, and everything else in between! this stack is inclusive of all mythical, folkloric and nonsensical gunk being served up; as long as meals consist of non-regular animals, unusual plants, or otherwise inedible objects, they count for this stack. yum!

Bishoku no Seijo-sama by Regina
'As Nanoha is about to leave a mixer with her workmates, she opens a door to an alternate world where evil beasts lurk and danger is around every turn. Fortunately, she's immediately saved by a pair of handsome knights. But there's a problem: the food they serve her is so disgusting she can't keep it down! As her and her saviours search for something she can eat, they discover that monster meat is both abundant and suprisingly delicious...'

Pyeonghwa Restaurant by Seowoo Seowoo and Tyang (턍)
'Seoul has become a mess with multiple dimensions mixed together. Demon King from Hell, Blessed Hero, Destruction-level Dragon… All of them are just docile guests at Pyeonghwa Restaurant! The peaceful restaurant management story of ‘Sua’, the strongest chef in all dimensions!!'

basically fantasy romance mangas or thing slike that. don't know how many of these I'll make. again just added by the covers didn't look at descriptions really

This is a list of the Shojo and Josei manga that have received physical releases from Kodansha, even if some of them are Out of Print.

Part 2: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/56770

Notably, I am NOT including any titles which have been physically released by Seven Seas or Yen Press in this list as Kodansha was not the one to give them a physical release.

I will include any titles which were previously published by another publisher that Kodansha has re-released.

I will also NOT include any titles released under Vertical Inc comics, which is under Kodansha. I have separate lists for Yen Press, Seven Seas and Vertical Inc Shojo and Josei releases. (For manga physically released under Vertical, see this list: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/56497)

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).
