Horror with a strong camp appeal, queer-ish outsiders as anti-heroes, queer perspectives or themes - or even just a destruction of norms around patriarchy.

This is a list of all the Shojo and Josei manga Dark Horse Comics has ever published. Notably, certain titles have seen their licenses change hands before or after publication, so titles like Card Captor Sakura will have been both published by Dark Horse, even while previously being published by Tokyopop and then currently by Kodansha USA. It's a bit difficult to find the older licensed titles from the 2000s due to how long ago it was and the iffy UI of the Dark Horse website/poor archive ability of it, but I've done my best.

I just felt like listing out the horror-genre shojo/josei manga that have been officially published in english at one point or another. I haven't read all of these as this is simply a list. Junji Ito published a lot of short stories in shojo magazines (eg Monthly Halloween, Nemuki, Nemuki+, etc), but for simplicity's sake I've kept his entries down to 3.

This list includes a range of titles from supernatural horror to thriller horror to survival horror to comedy horror. So be aware of the accompanying genre tags alongside the horror tag when trying these titles out.

The MAL entry for "Horrors of Noroi Michiru" is still pending approval but here it is: https://myanimelist.net/manga/148148/Noroi_Michiru_Shoki_Kessakusen
