Here are some really good fantasy shoujosei mangas if you're looking for your next read. I also included some manhwas and magical girls.

For my list of romance shoujo check the link down below:

https://myanimelist.net/stacks/25619

Manga features powerful/god-like females. Most of these are about girls becoming gods, girls with god/pet friends, or a girl god helping/hanging with a human.

if you like manga/manhwa that affects the audience's emotions such as sadness, annoyance, hatred, heart-wrenching tragic, you can read this
Don't forget your tissue :)

Notes: I have definitely watched/read the anime/manga that I give a rating
I will not give a rating below 5, Rating 5 for me = 1, >8 = recommended
if it's not good for me, the status "Dropped" and no rating

ok maybe not all of these are shoujo but most of them are (i think most of these are really obscure and are just from my personal experience, but hey maybe some of you relate with this somehow)

not on mal:

blossom by lee ji

Otherworldly and/or monstrous features creeping into character design, art style, and/or otherwise general aesthetics; prominent uses of orange, black, and stripes, perhaps even gothic and/or chilling fairy tales—whether or not it's actually set in Halloween, these anime fit the spirit (or at least at any Hot Topics near you!) ⋆

I'm surprised that there isn't a name to this specific kind of aesthetic I've been craving. I seriously want to see more cute anime that embraces the spookiness in ways like Soul Eater or Hells did.


Non-manga examples:
Over the Garden Wall, Coraline, Corpse Bride, Devil's Candy, Tim Burton, Gekidan Inu Curry

September 3 - 7, 2024: thanks for putting this on the Interest Stacks front page <3

A spooky-themed stack list featuring a variety of shoujo manga: from goofy otaku vampires to the creepiest twists on your favorite fairytales, you'll find the perfect shoujo thrill for your heart here!

— This stack is sorted alphabetically, and each item includes the reason it was picked, the level of spookiness (low, medium, or high), and the languages in which the titles are available.
— Since it's tough to track every single licensing update for manga, it's likely that I might have missed some for the titles in this stack. Feel free to let me know if that's the case!
— 'Level of Spookiness' is entirely subjective, and titles marked as *medium* or *high* may be revised later.

[⚠️ For items marked as *medium* or *high* in spookiness, it's highly recommended to check MangaUpdates or similar databases for specific trigger warnings. Please read at your own discretion.]
