These manga feature girls and women in the Taishō period (1912-1926). The aesthetic is a mix of Western and Japanese as Japan rapidly modernizes.

These are manga about "maidens" so I will leave things like Golden Kamuy and Demon Slayer for another list, even though they are firmly set in the Taishō period.

With gratitude for contributions from kihel.

This stack is full and soon will be split, for better readability.

A stack combining short 1, 2 and 3 volume series.

Side profiles depicted within film posters often evoke a sense of loneliness, introspection, or mystery. The themes associated with such designs can vary widely, so please assume these are psychological or drama based for potential interpretations. Because a lot of these are Shoujo and Josei, existential themes might be touched upon, sexual assault being one of them; this is a reminded of importance to research trigger warnings in art.

Criteria for this list:
• No sequel series.
• Full-body and portrait shots are excluded from this list.
• Likewise, diagonal shots (Kasane) are excluded.
• Covers must depict multiple character's from the Shoulders up (ex. Bus Hashiru)
• Harsh side profile, no "SHAFT tilting" towards the viewer (ex. Girl May Kill).

The Meiji era spanned from 1868 to 1912, a period of modernization for Japan. When after 250+ years of self-imposed isolation (Sakoku), Japan came into contact with Western culture and got inspired by it. This period combines Japanese traditional culture with 19th century and early 20th century Western culture.
