Shoujo manga magazines typically feature stories with female leads: the character whose perspective and inner thoughts primarily narrate the story to the audience.

The manga collected in this stack are original works serialized in these same shoujo magazines, but instead feature a male leading character. Story plots can fall into any genre and vary widely, including Romance, Adventure, Horror, or Comedy.

Please note Boys Love (BL) stories and male casts with heavy BL subtext are excluded from this stack. Manga serialized in josei magazines are also excluded as there are specific publications which have a higher tendency to feature only male characters.

Romance is one of the most popular genres both in anime and manga. Other media such as K-Drama, Webtoon, or Manhwas most of them featured romance stories that were mostly led by Female protagonists while in Anime and Manga there are many Romance stories led by Male protagonists. Romance with a male protagonist is usually published in Shounen and Seinen Magazines and a few in Shoujo and Josei magazines. Therefore, I'm willing to share my list of Romance Manga With Male Protagonist, so people who like Romance stories, especially Male audiences can enjoy the Manga

Stories that evoke strong emotions and convey one/multiple "moral of the story".

Range from light-hearted cheerful slice-of-life to dark psychological tragedy.

Some are highly philosophical and can shift your perception of life, happiness, morality, humanity, etc.

Into anime

It's all about the way you see the world around you.

A great manga has the ability to drag the readers into the story and make them experience what the characters are going through. Intense battle sequences will make you hold your breath in excitement while heartbreaking scenes will make you bawl your eyes out.

But there are times when you don't want to feel such deep emotions from manga. Sometimes you just want to sit back, relax, and enjoy the story. In that case, a wholesome manga that can make you smile throughout the story is the one you should read, and these are some selections of manga that can do just that.

These are manga that are super wholesome and sweet!

The primary focus of these tend to be romance, family or other relationships. There may be a subplot, or an occasional serious scene here and there, but the vast majority of the manga is wholesome and adorable!

will update regularly (hopefully)

These are all shoujo manga (manga targeted towards girls and young women) featuring male protagonists/main characters
[The following list includes series of VARIOUS genres]

—————————

[Not on MAL]

-She’s My Knight
-Hunting Summer
-Ai wo Kataru nara Hisoyaka ni

Slice-of-life backed up with pleasing art and decent plot.

Manga challenge featuring a manga for every letter of the alphabet. All are completed and 7 volumes max. so have fun and expand your reading list in some unexpected ways.
Disclaimer 1: We had no idea of the content of these manga before picking them, proceed with caution.
Disclaimer 2: MAL has changed several names from their alphabet original. They are in their original place on the list. Tsuki-Teki Aijin was previously Lunatic Lovers. Kanojo-tachi no X-Day was originally just X-day.

Manga that explore a character or characters and how the characters interact with and learn about the world.

More slice of life or philosophy based.

Comforting manga that I have read/am reading!

Contains info about adaptations in the captions of every manga (make sure to tell me if I missed any adaptation ^^).

Any recommendations either to read or to add in here are welcome <3

The ultimate Diabetes Manga list (Fluffy romance).
Its all wholesome and sugary. The diabetes you need. No rivals, no missunderstanding, barely any teasing.

Just love from the heart.

- most but not all of these are shoujo and in highschool
- some are a little longer but I still recomend them :)
- some I liked more than others
- some of my favs

(some of these have gotten way more chapters since I added them to this stack, sorry if they aren’t all short anymore 😓)

Here are all the shoujo manga I think one should read in order to cover all bases. I organized this list by general theme, with publishing series at the bottom.

We start off with serious drama and slice of life series, then period and fantasy action and war series, then science-fiction series, then magical girl series, then series for younger audiences, then romance comedies, then drama slice of life romances, then horror and supernatural manga, and lastly, important ongoing series.

I'm currently using this list too, despite me being the one who created it!
