A carefully curated selection of obscure manga ranging from the great to the kinda terrible.

ok maybe not all of these are shoujo but most of them are (i think most of these are really obscure and are just from my personal experience, but hey maybe some of you relate with this somehow)

not on mal:

blossom by lee ji

a collection of manga that had me do a double take on reading the description bc either the premise was so insane i had to know how on earth the author was planning execute it, its a concept i never would've thought of in a million years, is perverse in a way that's so wild it circles back around to sexless, or simply is so wack that morbid curiosity got the better of me. some are less severe than others, really this stack ranges from 'oh that's a bit of an odd idea' to 'who on EARTH could POSSIBLY be the target audience for this???' so uh. good luck.

i don't think im even recommending these i just can't be the only one forced to know that they exist

(updating!)

edit: if One more person recommends i read Magic Mushroom and add it to this list, im throwing the servers to this website into a ravine you cretins i draw the LINE at TALKING PENIS GIRLS HENTAI YURI MUSHROOM SEX. like. i do not care to know that the porny living penis literature is about them jettisoning off of dudes' bodies, turning into women & having a lesbian shag off, IM trying to live in PEACE. stop telling me things!!!!!!! have i not already suffered more than god

i hope y'all are enjoying the stack bc im losing my already dwindling marbles doing this

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 2: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/56770

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).

Part 3-Sci-fi/Historical/Mystery: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/57098
Part 4-Cute Stories: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/57096
Part 5-Character dramas/Modern Real-life Japan: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/57100

I'm defining "modern" Shojo and Josei manga to mean anything that began being published in 2013 or later. Obviously personal taste plays a role in whether you'll like something. I'm also trying to focus on Shojo and Josei manga licensed in English officially, so some excellent stories will sadly be missing from this list (they should probably get their own at some point).
