My favorite things are here.

An interest stack featuring the top 20 winners of the Kono Manga ga Sugoi!" (This Manga is Amazing! aka このマンガがすごい) annual magazine for 2006 (the year this ranking started!), with female and male winners included. It's a great way to find new and interesting manga to read, and serves as a time capsule for the popular manga of each year.

(There are usually 40 total winners, but I can't track down any site listing all of them from 2006 :( )

This stack will feature both male and female category winners, alternating between the female and male winners, from first place to twentieth place.

Note that there can be ties here (usually two-way), and if a category is missing some place (for example, missing 14th place in the male's category), it usually indicates that either its title was not revealed as per the author's request, or there was a tie.

Please feel free to comment/DM if any information is off/missing.

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

This stack will feature both male and female category winners, alternating between the female and male winners (with the exception of first place, since Honey and Clover was the cover for the 2006 stack), from first place to twentieth place.

MISSING FROM MAL:
4th place male readers' winner: Suzuki Sensei (JP: 鈴木先生) by Taketomi Kenji, untranslated

9th place female readers' winner: The Unruly Bookstore Owner (JP: 暴れん坊本屋さん) by Kuze Banko, untranslated

Often times, productions that are marketed to children or Teenagers make us wonder if they were created for them, because of potentially explicit content, serious and mature plots or both. Namely, if these shows have an awful lot of Parental Bonus, Parent Service, and the like. Unfortunately, this can also bring Moral Guardians out of the woodwork if it seems to be blatant enough. This can also happen when something is given a G rating but has an awful lot of potentially explicit content.

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 6.10.24
this is 51-100
attack on titan is not a mistake look it up as to why

i took jp songs i like and vaguely matched manga i've read to em.

stack is more about the music than the manga but some of them are really good too.

don't think too much about it, i didn't

Good shit.

List dedicated to all the Shoujo and Josei manga that have been published in Mexico by different publishers throughout its history.

Personally, I love this type of manga, I feel that I connect deeply with their style and tones, to the point of wanting to buy the ones I can get from these demographics in my personal library.

- Part 02: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/57345

This is a list of Shojo/Josei manga where Female Friendship is centered on at least 50% of the time or more. Some honorable mentions that do have prominent female friendships, but in my opinion don't quite meet a minimum 50/50 ratio would be: Fruits Basket, Kimi ni Todoke, Daytime Shooting Star, Chihayafuru, and Ao Haru Ride.

Second part of the 100 shoujo manga recommendations mentioned in their video Shoujo Manga INSPIRED Dandadan?!

Women dealing with family, friends, careers, marriage, pregnancy, children, adultery, relationship to food, sexual orientation, beauty standards and more.

This was supposed to be a private list, I haven't read most of these myself, I plan to, but then I thought maybe some people are looking for similar stories so here it is.

May contain nudity, sexual content and/or triggering topics and scenes.

The oversaturation of highschool romance in manga & anime calls for a palate cleanser in the form of romance between adults.

Age gap is okay as long as both love interests are adults and out of highschool.
