These manga are set in a bookstore- although the characters may not stay there! From manga recommending booksellers to bookshop romances, from mystery solving bibliophiles to mysterious bookshops, there's something here for everyone.

Please do not hesitate to drop me a line if I've forgotten a bookshop. Libraries and librarians are in a separate list.

Prism in Girls - Suteki na Koi o Suru Tame no 35 no Story [Histoires de femmes (Volume 3)]

Here are all the josei manga I think one should read in order to cover all bases. I organized this list by general theme, with publishing series at the bottom.

We start off with the classic slice of life and coming of age stories, then to a couple of autobiographical manga, then to the dark and realistic drama stories, then to action and horror stories, then to mystery stories, then to the rom-coms, then to the more light-hearted slice of life stories, and lastly to the important ongoing series.

I'm currently using this list too, despite me being the one who created it!

Based on sales I found online.
