Just a list of the one-shot or single omnibus releases in English of Shojo and Josei stories. Companies include Viz, Vertical Comics, Yen Press, Seven seas, Denpa, Kodansha, Fantagraphics, Star Fruit Books, Dark Horse, Digital Manga Publishing, and ADV manga. There are several that Tokyopop licensed as one-shots or single omnibi, but I ran out of room so I didn't include them on this list.

best rated shoujo according to mal
all series are labelled from the original
all have to be readily available to read in English
they are in order of rating
I have not read them all so this is unbiased
i do plan to read all of them though
as of 15.11.24
this is 51-100
attack on titan is not a mistake look it up as to why

This is a list of Shojo/Josei manga where Female Friendship is centered on at least 50% of the time or more. Some honorable mentions that do have prominent female friendships, but in my opinion don't quite meet a minimum 50/50 ratio would be: Fruits Basket, Kimi ni Todoke, Daytime Shooting Star, Chihayafuru, and Ao Haru Ride.
