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.

Manga included are set in real historical settings & does not include those set in a made up world but may include fictional things in the setting.

A carefully curated selection of obscure manga ranging from the great to the kinda terrible.

shoujo manga that I like

work in progress, a lot of the descriptions are temporary or are to be added.

Note: Older Male includes Sensei(s), Onii-chan(s)...etc.

Oh! And Senpai(s) too.

The Meiji and Taisho eras spanned from 1868 to 1926, 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.

Manga that were published under the Shojo Beat/Shojo imprint by Viz Media.
