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.

Mangas that have a sword and sorcery, sword-and-sandal, medieval/fantastical middle ages like setting

A shoujo manga means a comic published in a magazine targeted towards the young female demographic (under 18) in Japan.

The Sengoku period, also known as Sengoku Jidai (lit. 'Warring States period'), is the period in Japanese history that had many almost continuous civil wars in the 15th and 16th centuries.

The Ōnin War in 1467 is generally chosen as the period's start date and the Battle of Sekigahara in 1600 and its aftermath of Tokugawa Ieyasu being officially appointed as the shōgun in 1603 are generally chosen as the period's end dates. The Sengoku period overlaps substantially with the Muromachi period (1336–1568) and the Azuchi–Momoyama period (1568–1600).

Important historical figures of the era:

Oda Nobunaga
Date Masamune
Toyotomi Hideyoshi (Oda Nobunaga's subordinate and succesor)
Tokugawa Ieyasu (fellow Oda Nobunaga subordinate and succesor that became shogun)
Iga and Koga shinobi military confederacies
