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 Taisho era spanned from 1912 to 1926, a period of modernization for Japan. This period combines Japanese traditional culture with early 20th century Western culture.
