Recs if you like Magic Knight Rayearth I, Vol. 1 (Magic Knight Rayearth I, #1)...

🌹Genre-defining, highly popular, and influential classics of Shoujo (girls') manga, all bestsellers in their demographic or influential series by the Year 24 Group.🌹

✨The Year 24 Group was a group of manga creators (mangaka), all women, who redefined shoujo manga in the 1970s, focusing on contemporary problems and high-stakes, emotional drama as well as defining shoujo's signature style of big, emotional splash pages, beautiful men, using imagery to illustrate emotional states, and on-panel text to denote inner thoughts - all visuals used across all genres of manga to this day. The Year 24 Group is also credited with creating the genre of BL, aka BoysLove, sometimes called shounen ai, as well as pioneering GL, GirlsLove or yuri.✨

🎀All of these have official English releases and were first printed in magazines for girls.🎀

💖Expect sparkles, pounding hearts, and romance, and BL, but also science fiction, fantasy, action and melodrama!💖

Manga that was adapted to anime in the 90s that defined a decade.

A collection of the most influential shoujo manga from the 90s. Magical girls were big, but there's more than that! ⚠️WIP, I'm happy to add any suggestions!

Note: I'm including volumes with their first publication or serialization date in Japan in the 90s. Some may have been published into the 2000s, or they may not have been officially translated until later.

Here is a compilation of all the works created by the manga artists that are part of the all-female group CLAMP!!

I didn’t include collaborations and there may be some works missing if they were not yet in the PB database. (I’ll add them eventually, but it may take a little time, because right now I'm lazy… 😅)

Don’t hesitate to tell me if there are works to be added, that I forgot!! 😊

Ah, manga. Enjoyed by the old and young alike!

Let's look back over the years, from classic titles like "Sazae-san", to current reads such as "Kimetsu no Yaiba" (Demon Slayer).

I'm hitting up the oldies first, so feel free to leave suggestions in the comments as I slowly add titles!

Some listed here may be for a language other than English, so these will be placeholders. If you dont see some here, then it may not be on GR or I just added interesting one due to space.

Space for 16 more!
