Horror is the most consistent genre for social commentary. This Manga Stack aims to highlight series that focus on the darker side of womanhood, either angled from that of power and gendered dynamics, and mutual abuse of them; eventual self destruction surrounding relationships, lust or sexuality; or the aestheticism of beauty and the pursuit of the freedom it gives. This one is quite similar to my "Psychosexual Girl's of Manga" stack however do note there are some distinctions to be made, especially regarding introspection of the female mind here.

"I think that writing about women goes hand in hand with horror writing. The female body is a nexus of pain almost by design, but it is also potentially monstrous—an object traditionally subjugated, both for its presumed weakness and its perceived threat."

A list primarily inspired by Angelica Jade Bastién on Letterboxd.

**some of these are rough placements and I will need to reread.
