Shoujo Manga Favourites List

PS: This page is 30K large, and thus takes some time to load. I have considered splitting the form up into several parts, but have also considered the inconvenience of viewing partial lists.

If you know of any ways to solve this problem, please(e10) let me know.

Summary of works

Or would you just like to check out some suggested readings? (Still improving the links. I have a bad feeling it's a neverending story.)

PS: I need help. Kindly mail me any scans of the mangakas' missing self portraits (preferably larger than 72x72pix), as you might have observed that this page is very much deficient this this area.

Why this list

Use this list to find some manga with good story lines and nice drawings. You can be more confident in picking up a manga the next time you visit your manga book store. The catch is, most of the titles are in romanji & kana/kanji. There are no English translations for the titles unless the titles themselves were meant to be read in English (or any other language).

How to make it on the list

montage of mangaka gif This list of 118 mangaka is by no means exhaustive. One condition must apply: - at least 2 ML members think that this manga/ka excels in either art, story, style or humour, and should receive a wider audience. It also includes a list of alternative manga/kas for those who want to read something more exotic/less conventional, and are unwise to pass it to someone uninitiated to shoujo manga. They're marked with a .

How this list is ordered

Currently sorted in Japanese (A-KA-SA...) by the mangaka, and the family name of the mangaka comes before the given name, in capitals. (Willing to create a English alphabetical order if requests are numerous.)
