Only japanese manga with delinquents/yankees or yakuza characters part 1

A collection of hilarious slice of life comedies.

Most of these stories are centred around unexpected and goofy protagonists living out their daily lives.

Updates still to come!

Hope you enjoy :3

A collection of romantic comedies centred around idols (Kpop / Jpop), actors, fashion and make-up.

These stories vary - some are more romance focused such as ‘So I Married an Anti-fan’ while others are more comedy focused such as ‘Yakuza no Oshigoto’. Highly recommend both if you can’t tell^^

Great manga under 10k members (as of 05/02/2023)

[manga I would rate between 7/10-10/10]

all the shoujo + josei manga currently scheduled to release volume 1's of english prints in 2023! wanted to make this stack for anyone whos like me and wants to keep track of the new shojo and josei that is coming out this year so they can add some to their collection. i will try to keep this updated if more series are announced throughout the year, enjoy <3

Edit: We have so many coming out this year that i had to break it up into 2 stacks!

Every manga covered by the Mangasplaining podcast in Season 4.

Exactly what the title says. A new type of the established “X doing cute things” sub genre. Here you’ll find manga that have criminals, gangsters, demon lords and downright scary dudes doing some uncharacteristically cute stuff and literally just vibing. And it’s adorable.

Seriously, these bad boys NEED an anime adaptation. They have everything going for them, so why aren’t studios picking them up yet ToT

Note: The Girl from the Other Side (Totsukuni no Shoujo) needs a proper cour format anime adaptation.

manga where an idol and a fan have a chance meeting and become friends, lovers, or coworkers! titles will not be considered if the fan is not enough of a diehard or if they change allegiance to another idol: these fans have to be nigh religious about their idol worship! streamers or online personas may be considered as idols, provided that they sing or perform. novelists, actors, or celebrities of other kinds will not be considered; this is about penlights and ita bags, people!

(updating!)

not on MAL:
2.5-Jigen no Oshi ga Classmate ni Narimashita!? by Tsukushiro Yuri
'"I'm completely addicted to the 2.5D swamp, and in my class, Rinto Kogami, the actor I'm most in love with, transfers to my school!" You can see the various sides of my guesses in the classroom, and their school life starts to become too precious and tough! A short love comedy with lots of insight into the "guessing game"!'

Oshi ga Buka ni Narimashita by Kogeta Okoge & Ryo (MITO Ryou)
'Tsuneda Sayaka is a 29 year-old who works at an advertising firm. One day, an idol in a business suit descended upon her! Sayaka started to lose her bearings because not only did her "bias" suddenly become her subordinate, he also started becoming physically intimate... Here's the start of Sayaka's awkward love battle!'

I Became the Superior of My Favorite Idol Who Retired Oneshot by Yukio Yuki
'Idol Chico retires. Yama-san, who was a top fan, is overcome with a sense of loss. Meanwhile, the office worker who joined the company mid-career turns out to be the former idol...!?'

A Story About An Otaku and An Idol Oneshot by Amemikuro
'A fan of an idol looks back on how they first met and how things have changed since then.'

Oshi ni Kawareteimasu by Kanade Kotozato
'Natsukawa Runa, a college student, is shocked by the disbandment of a popular idol group which she loves. One day, while caring for a drunken guy at a college drinking party, she discovers he is Subaru, her bias, who has gone MIA after the announcement. When Subaru realizes that he has been exposed, he threatens her by taking her picture, saying: "Should I expose you so you can't go against me?” What’ll happen to Runa now that she finds out the true nature of her bias?!'

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)

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).

The Mangasplaining podcast is a podcast by comics industry professionals and academics geared at those who are newer to manga and discusses one or two series each episode, typically reading 1-2 volumes per series, and re-visiting some particular favorites. It is hosted by Deb Aoki, David Brothers, Christopher Butcher, and Chip Zdarsky. Additionally, the podcast has collaborated with publisher Udon to bring the Josei manga "Veil" to english, and also will be releasing "Wandering Cat's Cage" in English in collaboration with Fantagraphics.
