all time favorite josei/shoujo

What it says on the tin: a list of my favorite romance stories. Most include three-dimensional heroines and lots of angst. Some include smut.

Tropes I don't enjoy and that you won't find here: grooming, overly-submissive FMCs, art where the characters look really young (I prefer a more mature style).

So. fucking. good. A high school boy and girl realize they are reincarnated from the Edo period. Only thing, he was a female sex worker, and she was a male bodyguard. Everything by this author is great.

First time I read this I was WAY too young lol. Permanently fucked up my idea of love and relationships. So angsty, so atmospheric.

The GOAT (and I'm not talking about Hiro). People say it's one of the best for a reason. Really cool to see both the characters and the artist's style mature over the course of the volumes.
