This list is specifically for the Shojo and Josei licenses Tokyopop has come out with in English AFTER their major implosion in the 2000s, so it focuses on what they've published after re-entering the english market.

I haven't included their disney manga or OEL comics since that's its own separate thing and has its own section on their website. Additionally, a large chunk of their catalog nowadays is BL and GL, and there are lists that have done that work already and listed those out under "LGBTQ+ Tokyopop manga", so I didn't bother to check every single BL or GL to see if they were published in a Shojo or Josei magazine or magazine equivalent. Check out that list if you want to search the variety of GL and BL and LGBTQ+ manga they have published.

*note that Aqua is the first few volumes of Aria that were originally published in a Shojo magazine before the manga moved to a Shonen magazine and changed names.

A list of the shojo and josei with some amount of volumes available through Kindle Unlimited. The number of volumes ranges between 1, the first 3, half, or all of a series.

A List of the Shojo and Josei Manga available on the MangaMo app (excluding the Kodansha licenses, since they typically land on most of the digital-only platforms and make this list too long). Several titles (listed below) don't have MAL listings but are in the MangaUpdates database.

I tried to compile an extensive list of the English Licensed Shojo and Josei manga titles where romance is a sub-plot at best, if present at all (many of these don't have any romance present).

Basically, non BL manga that are enjoyable for fujoshi.
