shoujo and josei manga that started publishing in the 1990s

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/

Primarily compiled from my own list so I'm sure there's plenty I'm missing! Feel free to send me more :)

The art nouveau movement features an elegant aesthetic that I wish was in more media.

Here is a list of manga that seem to evoke some visual influences of the art movement, whether solely the covers, occasional appearances in the actual manga, or even if the author is known to be a fan. Probably not a definitive list.

Major thanks to https://occidental-influence-manga.tumblr.com/ btw holy crap

Literally a compilation of non romance series with a CANON LGBT+ character

This list contains some of the most notable and popular manga that are created by Female Mangaka

Dark skinned female protagonists/significant main characters (gyarus included!). Largely curated for my own point of reference; you will see mainstream works, but I am trying to focus on lesser-known titles.

Tags: gyaru, ganguro, gal, tan, south asian, south-east asian, african, black, south american, latin american, pacific islander, female lead, FL, dark skin, tanned skin, brown, foreigner, foreign, dark elf

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