When some people hear the phrase "shoujo manga", the first image that comes to their mind is high school romance with cookie-cutter characters and the same melodrama recycled over and over again. Frequently they say to me, "I don't like shoujo"—as if an entire demographic of manga magazines that have been publishing for decades are only capable of writing one type of story.

This stack exists to dispel the stereotypical image of shoujo manga.

Long before the current isekai boom directed towards the male demographic, shoujo magazines in the 1990s were serializing grand adventures where female leading characters were transported to other worlds and faced adversity. At approximately the same time (late 1980s), shoujo manga titles were at the forefront of the reincarnation boom, where main characters living in the modern day discovered they had memories from the past.

Epic tales and past lives aside, manga written for the female demographic tend to emphasize character development before plot. This means good series excel at making the characters' emotions transparent to the reader and their progression or growth feel natural. When the leading character is male instead of female, this can also be very refreshing.

This list is curated from manga I've read and will not include every available title. It will be updated over time. If there is a manga you think that should be added, please feel free to leave a comment on my profile and I'll check it out~

To have an easier view on the manga relations of the club, here's the first stack of ~40 manga, from A to E + manga starting with numbers.

Also need to add Corpse Knight Gunther and rearrange stacks.

If there are emotional moments (in some of them, not all), then they are balanced well enough with empathy not to be depressing.

Brb with better manga description 📖

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
- 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)

NOTE: Revamping the list for 2025 <3

A guide for anyone looking to explore more modern shoujo and not knowing where to start and optimized for variety.

This stack includes shoujo that began in 2010-2019 categorized by genre in order to cover a multitude of subjects and feature diverse stories. I tried to feature many popular and influential series that might be useful for exploring the demographic, with a few lesser known ones to add to the genre diversity.

The genres are sorted as follows:

High School Romance
Fantasy and Supernatural
Queer Series
Historical
Romcoms and Comedy
Trashy Series of Ill Repute
Isekai
Heavy Drama and Darker Themes
Episodic Slice of Life and Career Oriented stories

A collection of romance mangas that have fantasy or supernatural element in them.

These are all having romance as main or sub element in the plot. Some of the recommendations may get a bit dark but still are romance mangas.

The best way for the items chosen to be represented would be:
Something close to if Witch Hat Atelier (Tongari Boushi no Atelier) had a little older cast and a touch of romance.


{Sorted by Name}

Any manga, manwha, or manhua that primarily revolves around Greek myths, or prominently features at least one figure from Greek Mythology.

Note: I did not include any overly explicit titles, or titles I could not find much information about.

Extra Note: I didn't want to add every Saint Seya spin-off(there are a ton), so I just put the original. All of them are about Greek mythology, so just use the original as a placeholder for the entire franchise.
