Hiya

I wanted to give some battle shonen a go, but I don't wanna read one where female characters are reduced to fan service, tsudare character tropes or just there for the sake of it.

Anyone got a few suggestions? I really love magical girl shows if that helps at all :)

It doesn't seem like it at the beginning, but the series has very strongly developed female characters, especially in the later arcs.

Basically a female Records of Ragnarok

Actually a spin-off of a larger series, but it also works as a standalone

More comedy and romance, but also with a lot of action and gore (yes, with this artstyle)

The female lead sometimes seems like the actual main character

Claymore - Mainly female cast, each female character are unique and badass in their own ways and have meaningful relationships (Teresa and Clare, Helen and Deneve). Teresa and Galatea are pretty charismatic as well.

Chrono Crusade - Rosette is a sweet and loving woman but also badass and competent as well.

However, both series are better off read than watched as their source material is far better.

Jojo part 6, main character is a female, has other notable female characters.

Frieren, the anime is a perfect adaptation so recommend you to watch the anime first and if you love it then check the manga.

Hell's Paradise, Sagiri is a pretty good character.

Should post in in this board instead.
