Recs if you like We Were There, Vol. 1...

I love manga and shoujo and josei are my favorite demographics. Consider this list a potential starter pack in shoujo and josei

Manga that were in Shoujo Beat Magazine supposedly (I'm doing this in alphabetical order in English)

A list with good romance and good vibes, no trigger warnings

relationship dynamics that i personally consider red flags: manipulation, possessiveness, controlling behavior, disrespect, boundary issues, jealousy, emotional abuse, blackmail, intimidation, bullying, coercion, poor communication, unhealthy power imbalances, obsession, dependency, toxic relationship dynamics, lack of consent

this is not a judgment of the manga itself. many are well-written, popular, or feature character growth 🙂‍↕️ i like few of these myself!!
