Manga set largely outside East Asia, but on Earth.

Manga with a militant vibe

Manga where the muscular/fit girl(s) is either a primary or important secondary character.




Let me know of any other manga I've missed.
Or not; you decide.

Mangas containing muscular/fit female characters.

will try to specify whether the character/s appearances to save your time on finding the chapter appearance : )

At least one main female character is physically strong, preferably the protagonist.

Physical strength applies both to hand-to-hand combat and proficiency in wielding weaponry (marksmanship, swordsmanship, archery etc.) as well as ability and talent in a physical sport.

No magical/supernatural power allowed unless it enhances physical strength.

Need some help with Gluttony for the 2024 Manga Reading Challenge? Look no further.

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.

Vertigo was an imprint of DC Comics that existed between 1993 to 2020 (and later revived in 2024). The imprint was made in order for DC to publish comics for more mature audiences. Notable successes included The Sandman, The Saga of the Swamp Thing, Hellblazer, Preacher, Y: The Last Man, DMZ, 100 Bullets, and Fables.

The following are some series I think will appeal to fans of Vertigo looking to get into the world of manga.

Manga that I am going to read because I have watched their anime adaptations. This will only include the first volume of each series but I intend to read further. I will keep adding more as I watch more anime.

A seinen manga means a comic published in a magazine targeted towards the adult male demographic in Japan.

Manga where the/a main character is always covered in bandage and/or medical eye-patch etc. I don't include bandaged characters who wear them for practicability like chest binder or martial artists/fighters. They have to cover something (bruises, scars, burns, supernatural abilities, heterochromia, etc) or just pretend to (chuunibyou or unknown reasons).

This is a list of the Viz Signature and Shonen Sunday (excluding any Shojo/Josei in the Signature line) imprint manga that have been published physically in English (so it doesn't include any digital-exclusives that would be found on Manga+ or SJ app). This also doesn't include any of Viz's Shonen Jump imprint titles.

I got annoyed that someone said Viz release more Shojo than Shonen, so I made this list to put into perspective total Shonen Jump (and now Shonen Sunday and Viz Signature) releases vs the already existing Shojo Beat release interest stacks

Not dealing with Light Novels here either

I've left off a bunch of Junji Ito's anthologies since they include both shojo and seinen manga in the anthologies
