items I'm an avid manga collector! In particular I really love shoujo, though I also collect horror mangas and a few shonen as well. These are my top, absolute favorite mangas that I think everyone who enjoys a good, sweet love story or drama should read �...
This manga includes lgbtq+ themes. It's a silly story about rich high schoolers running a host club in their school. Their antics are quite funny
Ouran High School Host Club Box Set (Vol. 1-18)
This is my absolute favorite manga (and anime!!!) EVER! It's a story of two girls, both named Nana, who meet by chance on train ride into Tokyo. It's a beautiful story full of drama, punk rock music, chance meetings and love 💞 The bond between the t...
Nana, Volume 1
Mars has been out of print for some time so physical copies can be hard to come by, but last I checked it's available on Kindle unlimited! It's a story about an extremely sweet and innocent girl meeting up and falling in love with their schools "bad ...
Mars #1
This another manga with heavy lgbtq+ themes and id really recommend it in particular to anyone who feels any struggles in their gender identity. One of the main characters is a drag queen who is extremely comfortable in themselves. They are imho very...
Princess Jellyfish Complete Manga Box Set
This is another manga that is actually out of print and fairly difficult to get your hands on. If you can it's so, so worth it! It's about two little witches who come to the human world to complete their witch training while competing to become witch...
Sugar Sugar Rune 1
This is a classic! It's about a really, truly sweet woman who meets a family who whenever a member of the opposite sex hugs them... They turn into animals from the Chinese zodiac! It's such a heartwarming story.
Fruits Basket Collector's Edition, Vol. 1
This is a really heartwarming story about a deaf woman falling in love ❤️ It's an intense story and very sad at times, good read if your in the mood for some tears especially, or if you are differently abled yourself 💞
A Sign of Affection 1
I mean, it's Sailor Moon. Of course this is a must read! The manga is vastly different from the original anime and if you are like me and grew up watching it... You've got to read the manga!
Sailor Moon 1 (Naoko Takeuchi Collection)
This is a slice of life manga about a particular group of high school girls navigating their high school years together. It's very sweet and is another with light lgbtq+ themes.
Azumanga Daioh
This is available to read for free on Kindle unlimited! It's about a really kind young woman who cooks meals for her classmates 🍱 this manga in particular is really cool because it includes the recipes for the various dishes she makes!
Kitchen Princess Omnibus 1
This manga is HILARIOUS 😂 it's about a young woman who's life becomes a dating sim, a critter from another dimension basically bullies her into becoming social and finding a partner. The Netflix original anime is also a great watch!
Romantic Killer, Vol. 1 (1)
A story about a bunch of different otaku office workers living life together. I particularly like this one because I relate a lot to the characters.
Wotakoi: Love Is Hard for Otaku Manga Box Set
I know, another out of print one. But it's also really worth the read! The main character in particular is so self assured and confident, I found her so inspiring when I was a kid. She's a gyaru who defies the stereotypes of her fashion choices and h...
Gals!: VOL 01
First and foremost a trigger warning, this story includes a completed suicide and the emotional aftermath between the boys friends. It's a real tear jerker about a group of friends who receive a mysterious letter in the mail with instructions on thin...
Orange Complete Series Box Set
This is another one centered around a deaf woman, it's a beautiful read. She's bullied a lot in the beginning but she finds her "voice" by the end and learns confidence. It's a great read especially for any differently abled person who knows the stru...
A Silent Voice Complete Series Box Set
This story is about a young woman and her kitsune god falling in love. It's very funny, and super sweet.
Kamisama Kiss, Vol. 1: Julietta Suzuki
This is a stand alone story about a woman who's suffering an eating disorder. It's very realistic in her struggles and mentality and could potentially be very triggering to anyone with an eating disorder. I personally found the main character and her...
