Manga (and manhwa, manhua, and novels) where characters swap bodies. Manga where a person dies and inhabits the body of another person in the same world are tagged as Reincarnation. Manga where a person inhabits the body of a person in a fantasy world are tagged as Isekai.

Basically Popular Manga that may or may not recieve an anime adaptation in the future.

Criteria for predictions:

- MAL users predict that it will recieve an adaptation
- the mangaka previously worked on a manga that received an anime adaptation
- Received an award, nominated for an award, or received a high ranking in a poll

- Recieved an official English translation or was recently licensed for an English translation
- has a wikipedia page (especially ones in multiple languages)

This is my compilation of shoujo and josei series that I think could maybe, possibly get an anime. We've been getting a lot lately and I wanna see what guesses I make turn out to be correct.

I do not include manhwa in this stack anymore because I am not knowledgeable enough about it (though I do feel like Abandoned Empress will get an anime at some point...).

Correct Predictions:
- Mr. Villain's Day Off
- A Condition Called Love
- A Sign of Affection
- 7th Time Loop
- Dahlia in Bloom
- Nina the Starry Bride
- Anyway, I'm Falling in Love with You
- Honey Lemon Soda
- Tamon's B-Side
- The Holy Grail of Eris

Series not on MAL that I think have a chance to get anime:
-Oni no Hanayome (LN and manga)

NOTE: Revamping the list for 2025 <3

All the shojo and josei manga that got printed in english in 2022, this is for my own reference but if it can help someone else find something new then i'll be glad <3

Titles that should be in this list but are missing from database:
- Akuyaku Seijo desu ga, Aisuru Danna-sama no Oyaku ni Tachitai desu. (To wa ie, Kirewarete Iru no desu ga)
- AYAKA - Muzzle Flash Back!
- Kogitsune, Warawara
- Mahoutsukai no Yakusoku
- Nanji Nanpun Chikyuu ga Nankai Mawattara

A list of all the Shojo and Josei manga titles licensed in English by Seven Seas Entertainment continued

Part 1: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/56378

Part 3: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/56591

I'm defining "modern" Shojo and Josei manga to mean anything that began being published in 2013 or later. Obviously personal taste plays a role in whether you'll like something. I'm also trying to focus on Shojo and Josei manga licensed in English officially, so some excellent stories will sadly be missing from this list (they should probably get their own at some point).
