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!

The Manga Taisho (マンガ大賞) is an annual Japanese manga award. The award is limited to series with eight or fewer collected volumes, in order to promote newer titles. The nominating committee, composed of staff members from bookstores, each initially vote for five series and the titles with the top ten number of votes become the official nominees of the year. Finally a second round of voting determines the winner, as well as second and third place.

Mangaby lazyafternoon

this is the list of mangas that focus on a certain subject whether its a certain hobby, sport, music (like instruments), interest, or even to the most obscure subject possible. this type of manga tends to be quite informative about the subject their covering and could possibly use as entertainment education manga (in some cases)

I've been into these kind of manga but never stuble any fixed term, genre, or tags for it since the subject these manga covers may vary and even obscure, but at the same time, somehow you can categorize it into a single type of genre

feel free to request adding any manga that I might missed
hopefully I can update this list overtime

Mangaby -Hotaru_

Female characters that possess mental fortitude and don't break under pressure. They must have great resilience in the face of difficult or dangerous situations or even tragedy. They don't have to be super smart or geniuses, mental fortitude/stoicism is what matters. Preferably physical strength isn't their main characteristic but their mental fortitude.

shoujo and josei titles that may appeal more to shounen/seinen readers looking to get into the demographic but want to avoid the stereotypical shoujo romances told from the female POV

Number of sales and date that number was acquired from in notes for each. Some of them I have personally estimated a higher figure than the date says.

No. 147 would be the Himitsu Series of books. It's for children and I can't find it on MAL. It has 116 volumes and started in 1972, and has sold 23 million (June 10th, 2018).

For my Shoujo / Josei beginner manga journey, I selected titles that are either popular, iconic, or highly rated. Follow along on my journey, and who knows, maybe I do a Part 2 of this list once I‘m finished. But this will probably take a while.
Edit: It has come to my attention that Witch Hat Atelier is not a Shoujo. I removed it from the list. However, I do still consider Houseki no Kuni and Komi Can’t Communicate to be Shoujo/Josei

My personal collection of female-centric sports manga that's actually good and doesn't feature too much sexualization and actually respects its female protagonists. We need more good sports manga about girls!!
