This list is specifically for the Shojo and Josei licenses Tokyopop has come out with in English AFTER their major implosion in the 2000s, so it focuses on what they've published after re-entering the english market.

I haven't included their disney manga or OEL comics since that's its own separate thing and has its own section on their website. Additionally, a large chunk of their catalog nowadays is BL and GL, and there are lists that have done that work already and listed those out under "LGBTQ+ Tokyopop manga", so I didn't bother to check every single BL or GL to see if they were published in a Shojo or Josei magazine or magazine equivalent. Check out that list if you want to search the variety of GL and BL and LGBTQ+ manga they have published.

*note that Aqua is the first few volumes of Aria that were originally published in a Shojo magazine before the manga moved to a Shonen magazine and changed names.

*Kusuri no Mamono no Kaiko Riyuu/My Contract with the Apothecary Monster doesn't have a MAL page

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).

Part 1-dark/horror/thriller: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/my
Part 2-Fantasy/Supernatural: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/57092
Part 3-Sci-fi/Historical/Mystery: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/57098
Part 4-Cute Stories: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/57096

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).
