Shoujo manga magazines typically feature stories with female leads: the character whose perspective and inner thoughts primarily narrate the story to the audience.

The manga collected in this stack are original works serialized in these same shoujo magazines, but instead feature a male leading character. Story plots can fall into any genre and vary widely, including Romance, Adventure, Horror, or Comedy.

Please note Boys Love (BL) stories and male casts with heavy BL subtext are excluded from this stack. Manga serialized in josei magazines are also excluded as there are specific publications which have a higher tendency to feature only male characters.

This stack contains series with a female lead who is could be considered a genius—most have high intellect, but she could have a specific skill as well. All series have a romantic elements and can be lighthearted/silly at times. Check these out if you’re looking for feel-good series with smart and talented women!

Romance is one of the most popular genres both in anime and manga. Other media such as K-Drama, Webtoon, or Manhwas most of them featured romance stories that were mostly led by Female protagonists while in Anime and Manga there are many Romance stories led by Male protagonists. Romance with a male protagonist is usually published in Shounen and Seinen Magazines and a few in Shoujo and Josei magazines. Therefore, I'm willing to share my list of Romance Manga With Male Protagonist, so people who like Romance stories, especially Male audiences can enjoy the Manga

My collection of fluffy-sugary-sweet-wholesome-cute-whateveryoucallit manga and novels that made me incredibly happy when I read them.
Also some stories have alternate versions, but I'm just putting here the version I read.

I'll only add stories when I finish them or reach the end of their English translations.
I'll happily take suggestions on what to read/add, so message me if you want!

Descriptions:
1) Brief and barebones synopsis (hopefully easier to understand than the original synopsis).
2) How sweet of a story I think it is out of 10 (this isn't my personal score!).

for the mods- this is NOT a rate scale or a ranking it is just recs

This list is derived from The Anime Man's "The OFFICIAL Top 100 Manga Of All Time (According To The Internet) Is Actually Surprising..." video. The video goes over the results of an online poll that he created in which people could vote for their favorite manga series.

The poll, taken in 2018, garnered over 160,000 votes from the international anime community. This is a complete list of the results along with the total vote count for each series. The list is in descending order, meaning the manga with the most votes come first.

Some entries are omitted because they don't have a MAL page. This is usually because they're web comics or made outside of Japan. Those omitted entries are listed here:
#53: Lumine (605 Votes)
#73: Tales of Demons and Gods (348 Votes)
#74: 19 Days (347 Votes)

Note: In the video, Joey accidentally counts all votes for Seven Deadly Sins and THE Seven Deadly Sins separately, meaning that there are technically 99 manga in this list. In the true list, Seven Deadly Sins would've been #13 with 1,795 votes. However, I've kept it in it's original position for the sake of being consistent with the video. THE Seven Deadly Sins garnered 271 votes, tying it with #89 (Aku no Hana), hence why there is no #90 on this list.

Enjoy!

[The following list includes series of VARIOUS genres]

—————————

[Not on MAL]

-She’s My Knight
-Hunting Summer
-Ai wo Kataru nara Hisoyaka ni

Mangas featuring college students

This is my compilation of shoujo and josei series that I think could maybe, possibly get an anime. We've been getting a lot lately and I wanna see what guesses I make turn out to be correct.

I do not include manhwa in this stack anymore because I am not knowledgeable enough about it (though I do feel like Abandoned Empress will get an anime at some point...).

Correct Predictions:
- Mr. Villain's Day Off
- A Condition Called Love
- A Sign of Affection
- 7th Time Loop Villainess
- Dahlia in Bloom
- Nina the Starry Bride
- Anyway, I'm Falling in Love with You
- Honey Lemon Soda
- Tamon's B-Side
- The Holy Grail of Eris

Series not on MAL that I think have a chance to get anime:
-Oni no Hanayome (LN and manga)


Also, if you have any suggestions for my list, please let me know! :D
