Railfans often get a bad rap among otaku in Japan, but these manga would make anybody want to ride a train.

Please let me know if there are other amazing train manga I've missed on MAL.

Manga included are set in real historical settings & does not include those set in a made up world but may include fictional things in the setting.

some good shoujo and josei!

I recommend listening this playlist while reading these manga (if you are the type that likes to listen to music while reading)

A guide for anyone looking to explore more modern shoujo and not knowing where to start and optimized for variety.

The genres are sorted as follows:

High School Romance
Fantasy and Supernatural
Queer Series
Historical
Romcoms and Comedy
Trashy Series of Ill Repute
Isekai
