Shoujo manga magazines typically feature stories with female leads: the character whose perspective and inner thoughts primarily narrate the story to the audience.

The manga collected in this stack are original works serialized in these same shoujo magazines, but instead feature a male leading character. Story plots can fall into any genre and vary widely, including Romance, Adventure, Horror, or Comedy.

Please note Boys Love (BL) stories and male casts with heavy BL subtext are excluded from this stack. Manga serialized in josei magazines are also excluded as there are specific publications which have a higher tendency to feature only male characters.

(not just manga but I don't want to bog down the title)

some of them are BL or yuri. some of them just have random gay side characters. sometimes. the random side character is trans. if you are insane like me, you will read the whole thing just for that one queer character.

Mysterious Entitys, a halo over their head, wings on their back, who could that be other than...
A Angel?

This Stack is a Collection of Mangas, which feature Angels as a Key Element (The More Traditional Angels as described above), the Media Featured has many diverse Genres and Themes, so you might find a new one to read.

I only included the ones with confirmed relationships. Ship bait and other such implications(Devils and Realist) or when it's only played for comedy(Kaguyahime) don't count.

Note: arranged in the order of release.

Work in progress!

Not found on MAL: Wedding Bells Are Ringing(1998), Watashi ga Motete Dousunda SPIN-OFF(2018), Mirai to Kare to Papa Jijou(2021).

DISCLAIMER: not every title on this list is trying to be a "good and realistic representation". But I believe even "problematic" depictions are worthy of note. You've been warned.

CLAMP is a group of mangaka known for creating interconnected stories within their universe. Although there is no strict order to watch or read their works, here is a suggested chronological order to enjoy some of CLAMP's main series:

"Tokyo Babylon" (1989-1993) and "X/1999" (1992-2003)
"Tokyo Babylon" and "X/1999" are interconnected, and it is recommended to read them together. Both series share characters and plot elements, and "X/1999" is a direct continuation of the events in "Tokyo Babylon". Therefore, by reading "Tokyo Babylon," you will have a solid foundation to fully understand the story of "X/1999".

Cardcaptor Sakura, Tsubasa: RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE, and xxxHOLiC are indeed connected and can be read together.

In "Tsubasa: RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE," various characters from different CLAMP series, including "Cardcaptor Sakura," "xxxHOLiC," and others, are brought together in an interdimensional adventure. The story revolves around Syaoran, who must travel through parallel worlds to retrieve Sakura's memories, the princess of Clow Country.

If you wish to explore the relationship between the two series, it can be interesting to read "Cardcaptor Sakura" first to become familiar with the characters and the original story. Then, you can embark on "Tsubasa: RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE" to see how these characters are reimagined and involved in a more complex narrative.

However, it is important to mention that "Tsubasa: RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE" is a denser story and involves multiple dimensions and cross-references between CLAMP series. So, be prepared for a more intricate plot when reading this work.

"Tsubasa: RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE" and "xxxHOLiC" do share characters and plot elements. They have significant crossovers where characters from one series appear in the other. Reading these two works together allows for a deeper understanding of CLAMP's shared universe, revealing exciting connections and developments.

It is recommended to start with "xxxHOLiC" before diving into "Tsubasa: RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE." This will help you become familiar with the main characters, especially Yuuko Ichihara, and better understand the context before embarking on your journey through dimensions in "Tsubasa: RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE."

I hope this clarifies the recommended reading order for CLAMP's

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

Manga that boasts a captivating and vibrant art style that brings both backgrounds and characters to life, immersing readers in an enchanting visual experience. The artwork offers a delightful glimpse into a myriad of imaginative creations, setting this manga apart from the rest. As readers witness the characters' joy and struggles, there's a yearning for the story's day-to-day elements to gain momentum. However, the current focus remains on the fervent desire to witness the characters triumphant journey in mastering the challenges of the day. The manga's artistry and the protagonist's quest intertwine to create a magnetic pull that keeps readers eagerly engaged.
