Mời các bạn xem thêm danh sách tổng hợp Shōjo manga tốt nhất và đầy đủ nhất được tổng hợp bởi chúng tôi
Hello! We are back with our weekly recommendation. I am currently head over heels in love with manga. I love how, with manga, I can easily binge 2-3 episodes worth of anime faster and in a lot more detail.
But anyway, today’s topic of discussion is the 25 best shoujo manga of all time.
You may be wondering why manga. Why not anime? Wouldn’t it be better if I recommended the anime versions of these mangas instead? Well, no. It wouldn’t. There are a few reasons why manga is the better choice here.
First, there are a lot of parts in a manga that gets excluded when it’s being adapted into an anime. Second, as I said, it would be way faster if you read the manga rather than watching the anime. And, last but not the least, some of these titles have not been adapted into anime yet, even though they are quite good.
As usual, I will refer to Myanimelist for the scores. Now, without further ado, let’s start with number 25:
