Literary & library series, mostly based on personal taste.

These manga spend significant time in a library!

Please let me know if I have missed any titles.

Bookstores and booksellers are in their own separate stack.

Hand-picked selection of some of my favorite age-gap romance manga.

Note that some of them are not 100% romance-oriented (leaning more on other genres instead -action, mystery, etc), but there's enough presence of romantic development from start to finish.

-Will update from time to time

some sci-fi shoujosei manga!

I recommend listening this playlist while reading these manga (if you are the type that likes to listen to music while reading)

Here are all the shoujo 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 serious drama and slice of life series, then period and fantasy action and war series, then science-fiction series, then magical girl series, then series for younger audiences, then romance comedies, then drama slice of life romances, then horror and supernatural manga, and lastly, important ongoing series.

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

A manga list for book lovers, about book lovers, made by a fellow book lover! Currently a work in progress.

DISCLAIMER: not every title on this list is trying to be a "good and realistic representation". You've been warned.

This stack contains a variety of titles with deaf characters. Includes everyone from protagonists to side characters.

Note: arranged in the order of release. Some of the titles are NSFW.

Work in progress!

Manga that were published under the Shojo Beat/Shojo imprint by Viz Media.

TVM Comics, is a now defunct vietnamese manga publisher. It well known back in mid 2000's and 2010's for published many popular Shonen Jump and Shoujo series. The company founded in 2007, an obsidinary company of TVM Corp, for publishing fully license manga series.

Due to around that time, Vietnam is well known for pirate manga and books instead of fully license. Among those, popular publishers in Vietnam like Kim Đồng and Trẻ Publishing House who mostly published pirate manga around that time. But thanks to TVM Comics, it consider help other willing to license out. It also know that TVM Corp, the parent company also responsible for dubbing anime in vietnamese, many popular series such as Dragonball, Cardcaptor Sakura, Captain Tsubasa, Azumanga Daioh, etc,... This company is consider of Tokyopop/ ADV Films of Vietnam.

But unfortunately, even all of many success, the company went bankrupt in 2019. Due to poor sales and around that times where manga isn't no where near hugely popular as of now. Most of the series that they published around that time, either stop or let another company pickup to continue they left off. Even tho, they no longer exist but their legacy still lives on in many manga collectors heart.

I will pick some series that they published, either gone along with them or others pickup.
