If you happen to see this, could you pls add Soloist of the prison to this list? It would fit right in!
I think you might wanna add Hero Killer to this list, i just read it today and it was so good(≧▽≦)
I really love this list, it's full of gems, some known, other not so much. I love the number of older less popular ones, they can be hard to find. I totally agree with Red River. I love that one to bits. I would own it if I could.
If it's not too forward of me, there are some more I recommend. To my knowledge they're all on mangago, I can provide links if you need them. If nothing else you should at least give Vampire game a shot. It's not one to sneeze at.
1. Skip Beat
2. Vampire Game (this is is a must, do not pass on this one, seriously a great read, you'll love it)
3. Library Wars (so darned good)
4. Blood+ (both main protag and antag are some serious kick butt women, even the side women are good, oddly enough I actually recommend the anime over the manga, it's much better)
5. Ghost Hunt
6. Flying Witch (is full of awesome women both as main and side characters, each displaying different forms of strength, though it's a slower slice-of-life type)
7. Gokusen
8. Magical X Miracle (I love this one)
9. The World is Still Beautiful
10. Invented Inference
11. From Maid to Mother
12. Ascendance of a Bookworm (maybe, she's strong but it's her emotional strength, academic ability and adaptability that shine brightest)
13. Daughter of the Emperor (as above)
14. Koushaku Reijou no Tashinami
15. Doctor Elise
Ones that fit the theme but feature wlw romance
1. Miss Sunflower
2. Chatting At The Amber Teahouse
3. Wandering Son (she's trans so you'll see her as a guy at first)
4. Tamen De Gushi (more of a webtoon style)
Ones that only kinda sorta fit because the woman is more of a secondary main character.
1. Shaman King
2. Amatsuki
3. D.N.Angel
4. Grandson of Nurarihyon
5. Moyashimon
6. Otomen
7. Please Save My Earth (can't tell if she's main or secondary main, not sure how well the story fits the list but it's a good read)
8. Natsume's Book of Friends
9. School Babysitters
10. Bushin Gikyoku (amazing character and damn good story. even if it can't make the list you should still give it a read)
And that's all I've got right now.
Tysm for making this list! Do you have any more titles with Alpha female leads who do the pursuing?
Wow! The series I've been looking for and accidentally stumbled before are all here! Love it! Thanks!(づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ
Btw, I soo highly recommend AKATSUKI NO YONA and HANI NI ARASHI . I'm suree you'll really love theeem and they would really fit in this list!
Thank you for the great list, I've even found some of my favorite's here! But I was wondering is you had any recommendation's for a non-romance female lead manga. (=・ω・=)
Yes, I do! Here are some~
Yakusoku no Neverland

Thank you for putting together such a fabulous list with detailed summaries ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶.
Hehe I'm glad you liked it ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ✧
I mean it your summaries saves me from disappointment!
Oh ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄ I'm happy my list was of help
Im enjoying myself so thanks! (●'◡'●)ノ
You're welcome (〃ω〃)
Thanks for this list !! Immortal Rain and Fushigu Yuugi Genbu Kaiden also feature women who can kick men’s ass very easily lol
Ahh late reply but I'll see abt it thank you~ ( ;∀;)
Awesome! So many obscure titles that I've never heard of. And it's wonderful how you describe each heroine so we can find exactly the kind of girl we're looking for. (Good variety of "strengths," too!)
Also, The Monster Duchess and Contract Princess would fit well on this list, I think!
Hmm for that one, actually I'm not sure if she's fitted to be described as a strong female lead because she cries quite a lot and uhh I'm not sure( ̄へ ̄)Hmm I'll wait for more chapters to decide whether to add it, thx tho (*´꒳`*) Also, sorryy for the late reply!!
Fair! Her adoptive mom is a lot more traditionally tough.
Yup, gotta agree on that!
For this story...i think it fit well. Leslie surely strong enough. She emotionally strong. If I were in her place, impossible for me to survive or rather I will only give up but she..eventhough still a kid, she struggle to live to get out from sperado family. I envy her strength in that. Well it normal to cry because cry will make her stronger. Because it weird if people does not cry at all. To be strong all the time are bored ^^
Hi can i ask if the web novel lord is extremely hardcore have any manga/manhua? The cover look so good
Heya~! Sadly it doesn't but you should try the Web Novel! (๑•ㅂ•)و✧ Usually novels have more details than mangas so it's definitely worth it! Btw, just a small detail, but altho the cover is like this, the FMC doesn't look like this haha. I think it represents the FMC's inner self as she's pretty much devilish in many ways (but that what makes her lovely ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄ )
Thanks to you I already read it in one swoop but I only craved for more ┗( T﹏T )┛ I really really love the story hope she will subdue Mo a little faster (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Uwaah I'm soo glad you loved it!! (*゚▽゚*)♡ Welcome to the ship hehehe~ This ship needs to sail fast ughh. I want to see them lovey dovey, kiss, get married and have a baby ufufufu (〃ω〃)
True (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ
Also, if you're interested, here's the raw: http://www.wuqingshui.com/book/47541
It's super long to read tho (that's why the translator seperates the chapters in parts). Sometimes it might be confusing as Google Translate is not perfect but good luck hahaha ヾ(☆▽☆)
Thank you so much but i dont think i will read the raw because google translate is such a... letdown ╥﹏╥
I will wait for the trans ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
Woww!!!Lots of gems..thank you a lot..I have been in search of strong female mc type manga for sooo long..A bunch of arigatou
And can I ask did u read keishichou tokuhanka 007??...It would be realllyyyy helpful if u could recommend me mangas like this one..like strong mcs..beautiful art..solving cases..that aren't predictable much..detective or killer type..(๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Umu, I did ( ´ ▽ ` ) Let's see.... The only ones (detective type) that come to my mind are:
ー Kechonpa
http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/kechonpa/
ー Tantei no Tantei
http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/tantei_no_tantei/
If I do find more, I will let you know~
