Not everyone likes these adaptations but the intention is either to please those of us who like to see these things or at least take these manga into account to expand the list.
Dramas, Kdramas....

No a todos les gustan estas adaptaciones pero la intención es ya sea complacer a quienes nos gusta ver estas cosas o al menos tomar en cuenta estos mangas para ampliar la lista.

You've seen the stacks about good shoujo manga. But what about the bad ones? What about the ones that are regarded as terrible within the shoujo community. What are the ones that are generally regarded as trashy and terrible?

If you want to read bad shoujo this stack is for you. The level of trashiness varies from what the shoujo community considers regular bad to some of the worst manga you will have the displeasure of reading. I also included a few infamous josei as well.

This is a list of ongoing and complete manga that are available on the VIZ MANGA app.

[These are all Romance Series
if you are curious about other genres check these other lists:

- Part 2 (Action): https://myanimelist.net/stacks/34236
- Part 3 (Horror): https://myanimelist.net/stacks/34238
- Part 4 (Fantasy
& Sci-Fi): https://myanimelist.net/stacks/34239
- Part 5 (Others
Miscellaneous): https://myanimelist.net/stacks/34240

NOTE!!:
I'm not including every single series here, There are still a number of series that don't have every chapter available and thus I will not include them here. Once the unavailable chapters are added, I'll include them on this list.


For example:
as of August 23rd, 2023 Detective Conan does not have all of its chapters available, chapters 928-1099 are unavailable, so once these chapters do become available I will include Detective Conan to this list

Mangas with transgender authors and/or illustrators. Not all the mangas have transgender themes in them.

All manga published by polish publisher Studio JG

—-

Studio JG, powstałe w 2006 roku, na początku swojego istnienia znane było z wydawania magazynu o mandze i anime „Otaku”. Po czasie ich działaność rozszerzyła się o polskie komiksy inspirowane stylem mangowym oraz doujinshi komedie oparte na wcześniej powstałych już tworach (np. Akatsukiss inspirowane Naruto, Dead Not inspirowane Death Note).
W 2009 postanowili wydać mangę „Hetalia”, co rozpoczęło ich drogę w zostaniu jednym z największych wydawnictw mangowych w Polsce.

Lista jest ułożona od najstarszej pozycji do najnowszej.
Part 1 obejmuje lata 2009 do 2016: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/40713
Part 2 lata 2017 do 2019: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/40735
Part 3 lata 2019 do 2022: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/40738
Part 4 lata 2022 do 2023
Part 5: soon!

Uwzględniłam tutaj także Light Novel oraz pozycje z wydawnictwa Osiem Macek.
Jeżeli interesuje cię lista Light Novel wydanych w Polsce zapraszam tutaj: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/38468
Jeżeli interesują cię mangi wydane tylko przez Osiem Macek zapraszam tutaj: WIP

Mangi, które nie są już w oficjalnej dystrybucji nadal można kupić z drugiej ręki.

i only love fictional men ❤️
(i guess this stack also doubles as a shoujo/josei romance recommendation list)

included tags for notable genres like if it includes angst, reincarnation, smut, etc. so it's easier if there are certain things you'd prefer to avoid. won't mention romance bc it goes without saying that all of them include romance (:

• and when he's not being big scary angry lord/knight man, he's actually the sweetest and most caring and loving husband ever
+ was adapted from a novel (the manhwa doesn't include actual smut scenes but if ya'll want it, read the novel... it's hella explicit)
• tags: yandere ML, historical, implied smut, drama, fantasy

Depths of Malice [악의의 농도] - manhwa; josei
❤️ Blaine Shade x Verta Alberhart
• toxic couple alert lol but they deserve each other

• he doesn't care that she's hellbent on ruining people's lives and is more than willing to aid her in it if it meant she would look his way

Destined to Love You [偏偏宠爱] - manhua; shoujo
❤️ Jiang Ren x Meng Ting

❤️ Shi Yan x Zheng Shu Yi
• a successful couple who loves to watch each other succeed
• tons of miscommunication and misunderstandings between the two at the start but when they finally settle down and fully trust each other, their bond is so strong and beautiful
• Shi Yan can be loving but in all honesty, he takes himself too seriously that i cannot fantasize about being with someone like him- i mean i know he's the way that he is because of his upbringing and position but he's not for me. i love him and shu yi together so much tho
+ was adapted from a novel
+ has a live action series adaptation
• tags: office, drama, CEO!ML x reporter!FL

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.
