- No Fully Gag or iyashikei Manga, so No NNB, Barakamon or Aria
- I Will Allow Witch Watch and a few others Since there is dramatic scenes in them even if its sparse.
- There can be male protagonists in the series, but at least 75% of the manga has to revolve around the Female Lead.
- I Will also not include SOME harem/romance manga, but only some, a bit abitary but again dont wanna conflate the list
- I May count genderbent manga

I organized this list with the main timeline stuff first, the spin offs second and the crossovers last.

Here is a list for fellow manga collectors and fans of mahou shoujo, a genre featuring many young girls receiving magical powers and (more often than not) a dress that's as cute as the aesthetic! Can be treated as a rec list for those new to the genre, as it will mainly (and primarily) feature magical girl manga you can find English copies of to read and buy today. Not meant to be a complete/definitive list.

Do note that this list will include magical-girl-adjacent titles, or some fantasy series that aren't usually considered to be part of the genre by some parts of the community—I'll try to put explanations for my reasoning in including them/why I feel they should be considered as a magical girl title... whether you're convinced on the classification or not, hopefully you might still be sold on checking it out regardless.

Physical releases that have been out of print, or will not be printed brand new in stores anymore, will also be included and indicated as such. To find these prints/series, you will need to look outside of your usual bookstores to find used/pre-owned copies. Good luck finding some of these, especially if you're particularly looking for more affordable prices!
Aside from marketplaces like eBay and Mercari, I also recommend checking the following sites as I've found many manga with decent pricing and item conditions from them:
https://www.abebooks.com/
https://www.alibris.com/
https://www.biblio.com/

A variety of manga I've enjoyed and would recommend, that are each two volumes long. Give them a try!

Manga somehow related to Clamp: referenced in their works and mentioned in interviews.

Not on MAL:
Macaroni Horenso by Tsubame Kamogawa (mentioned in xxxHolic)
Comet-san by Mitsuteru Yokoyama (Kobato inspiration)
Kyonyuu Hunter - Ohkawa likes this but I'm unsure about the author, I'm gonna assume it's the one by Kouichiro Yasunaga
