PART 2: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/14919

Slice-of-life backed up with pleasing art and decent plot.

- most but not all of these are shoujo and in highschool
- some are a little longer but I still recomend them :)
- some I liked more than others
- some of my favs

(some of these have gotten way more chapters since I added them to this stack, sorry if they aren’t all short anymore 😓)

Mangas that sumarize the year of 2022.

Manga that feature some kind of trumpet playing! Also a few bugle ones are thrown in here for funsies.

Want mangas/manhwas similiar to other popular mangas/manhwas/animes you love!!1
DM me if you have any requests!!!
I will add the newest additions at the top so make sure to check!!

All the Shojo and Josei manga releasing in print format in 2024! If im missing anything please feel free to let me know <3


We have once again reached the time where i have to split this into two stacks ^_^ hooray for so much shoujosei manga

Mangas published from 2020 onwards.

I read the first chapters of all of them, some I like and others I don't, but hey, variety is the joy.

Obviously I'm not going to put all the romance mangas, if it's something shady and meaningless it doesn't belong here. Additionally, the manga must have a little recognition by the community.

I will gradually catch up with all the mangas on the list to see if I remove them or not, I'm not going to be picky. This list is not about my tastes, it is with love from me to you, Mr. and Mrs. strangers.

Finally, there is everything here, yuri, yaoi, ecchi, not ecchi. The only thing I won't put will be NTR and all its variants so liked by our Japanese friends.

Update: complete list, i have eliminated mangas by well-known authors as they are very recent. Enjoy ♡

Removed entry from this list:
-Aishiteru Game wo Owarasetai (???)
-Akuyaku Reijou no Naka no Hito (???)
-Majutsushi Kunon wa Mieteiru (???)

This is a list of the Shojo and Josei manga that have received physical releases from Kodansha, even if some of them are Out of Print.

Part 1: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/56768

Notably, I am NOT including any titles which have been physically released by Seven Seas or Yen Press in this list as Kodansha was not the one to give them a physical release.

I will include any titles which were previously published by another publisher that Kodansha has re-released.

I will also NOT include any titles released under Vertical Inc comics, which is under Kodansha. I have separate lists for Yen Press, Seven Seas and Vertical Inc Shojo and Josei releases. (For manga physically released under Vertical, see this list: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/56497)

best rated shoujo according to mal
all series are labelled from the original
all have to be readily available to read in English
they are in order of rating
I have not read them all so this is unbiased
i do plan to read all of them though
as of 15.11.24
this is 51-100
attack on titan is not a mistake look it up as to why

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).

Part 3: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/57763

In 2022, these were the best manga releases you shouldn't miss.

Shounen, Seinen, Shoujo, Josei, Boy's Love, Girl's Love,

Side profiles depicted within film posters often evoke a sense of loneliness, introspection, or mystery. The themes associated with such designs can vary widely, so please assume these are psychological or drama based for potential interpretations. Because a lot of these are Shoujo and Josei, existential themes might be touched upon, sexual assault being one of them; this is a reminded of importance to research trigger warnings in art.

Criteria for this list:
• No sequel series.
• Full-body and portrait shots are excluded from this list.
• Likewise, diagonal shots (Kasane) are excluded.
• Covers must depict multiple character's from the Shoulders up (ex. Bus Hashiru)
• Harsh side profile, no "SHAFT tilting" towards the viewer (ex. Girl May Kill).
