This may be a good choice for those who don't like the romantic elements of shojo manga…

Most of the shoujo manga made by men were created in the 50's, 60's and 70's. Back in those days it wasn't out of the ordinary. The father of manga himself, Osamu Tezuka, created many shoujo manga, including the famous Ribbon no Kishi (Princess Knight).

After the 70's, shoujo manga created by men became a very rare occurrence with the only ones remaining being horror mangaka like Junji Ito, Umezu Kazuo and Morohoshi Daijirou publishing in horror shoujo mangazines.

On the other hand, shounen manga created by women became a common occurrence, kick-started by the influential Rumiko Takahashi beginning with Urusei Yatsura in 1978.
