Manga set in Aomori. Must like apples.

Stuff that made me feel weird

Slice-of-life backed up with pleasing art and decent plot.

Yo besties, I've been having a challenge of reading short manga.
so I thought of creating interest stacks for this challenge.
Some of the manga I've listed in the challenge aren't in MAL so I will list them in the description.
Each set (currently there are 15, and it continues) has 49 entries, and the manga vary in genres and popularity.
All of the manga are 1-5 volumes long, and I would love to see other people participating in this challenge!
(All of these should be scanlated, except for a few)

Manga in this set not listed in MAL:
Ai Naki Sabaku

A list of all the digital-only english licenses for Shojo and Josei manga by Kodansha. This does include some titles that received print-runs from now-defunct publishers like Old Tokyopop or Del Rey Manga. Depending on what they announce the list will be edited accordingly.

*I Don't Want to be killed by you, my crown prince!: set up by the blessed one, I will avoid a second attempt on my life! is also one, but I ran out of room (https://myanimelist.net/manga/149797/Outaishi-sama_Watashi_Kondo_koso_Anata_ni_Korosaretakunai_n_desu__Seijo_ni_Hamerareta_Binbou_Reijou_Nidome_wa_Kushizashi_Kaihi_shimasu)


There are 2 titles which Kodansha publishes as digital-only currently that don't have MAL entries:
- My Ice-Rose Husband Said He Only Wants Me to Play the Role of the Next Duchess, but Now He's Stalking Me at Home!
- Her Majesty Wants a Divorce: Now that a Saint has Come from Another World, I Suppose I'm No Longer Needed, Right?

I tried to compile an extensive list of the English Licensed Shojo and Josei manga titles where romance is a sub-plot at best, if present at all (many of these don't have any romance present).

This is a list of the Shojo and Josei manga with sci-fi elements licensed in english. Some lean more into the hard sci-fi elements than others, but whether it be aliens, mecha, robots, a futuristic world, futuristic steampunk, or space they will be included. Some "hide" their sci-fi elements or treat them similar to magic, so keep that in mind.
