Mystery manga that contain supernatural/mythological/folklore beings. May only make mention of these things or may actually be set in a world where they're real. "Beings" includes creatures, spirits, youkai, gods e.t.c. People with supernatural powers are not included.

Only series focusing on or centred around said beings have been added. Only the first entry has been added if it's part of a series and manga only.

On the card. Mangas that are based on magical/mysterious shops.

- Death Note
- Kuroshitsuji

A shoujo manga means a comic published in a magazine targeted towards the young female demographic (under 18) in Japan.

A spooky-themed stack list featuring a variety of shoujo manga: from goofy otaku vampires to the creepiest twists on your favorite fairytales, you'll find the perfect shoujo thrill for your heart here!

— This stack is sorted alphabetically, and each item includes the reason it was picked, the level of spookiness (low, medium, or high), and the languages in which the titles are available.
— Since it's tough to track every single licensing update for manga, it's likely that I might have missed some for the titles in this stack. Feel free to let me know if that's the case!
— 'Level of Spookiness' is entirely subjective, and titles marked as *medium* or *high* may be revised later.

[⚠️ For items marked as *medium* or *high* in spookiness, it's highly recommended to check MangaUpdates or similar databases for specific trigger warnings. Please read at your own discretion.]

This is a list of the Shojo and Josei manga licenses held by Viz that are not under the Shojo Beat or older Viz Shojo labels. These include some digital-only Viz Select licenses they got after TokyoPop went under as well as ones published under the plain Viz or Viz Signature labels. Otherwise, these titles are under either Viz Signature or Viz Media imprints.

*X by CLAMP has been published under both the Viz Shojo imprint (singles) and the Viz media imprint (omnibi)

*Many of Junji Ito's short stories were published in the shojo magazines Nemuki and Halloween, and have been mixed into his seinen horror in the Viz hardcover releases for his works. So those are shojo that have not been released under Viz Shojo or Shojo Beat.

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).
