1 title per series

mixed with some non-mystery or non-fantasy victorian era/gothic-style manga
funnily enough many of them have vampires

**disclaimer: i have not read everything in this stack, im kind of using it as a to-read list of sorts (apart from my favs that i've already read) and just sharing in case others have similar taste

a mix of the genres so some game titles may be only horror and some may be only mystery but many go hand-in-hand, tried to do 1 per game to keep it simple

ones near the beginning are more on the horror and death game side while ones on the end are more on the mystery side

Horror manga without supernatural entities such as ghosts,zombies, or vampires.

The Shojo and Josei manga licensed by Yen press continued

Part 1: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/56408

Part 3: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/56426

I tried to compile an extensive list of the English Licensed Shojo and Josei manga titles where romance is a sub-plot at best, if present at all (many of these don't have any romance present).

Part 2-Fantasy/Supernatural: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/57092
Part 3-Sci-fi/Historical/Mystery: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/57098

Manga where the/a main character is always covered in bandage and/or medical eye-patch etc. I don't include bandaged characters who wear them for practicability like chest binder or martial artists/fighters. They have to cover something (bruises, scars, burns, supernatural abilities, heterochromia, etc) or just pretend to (chuunibyou or unknown reasons).

Somewhat long series that are still short enough so that you could binge read the whole series over the weekend. Some go a few chapters over the 100 mark which is why the "ish" part is there.

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

...left a deep impression on me

As stated in the title, all of the manga listed here are licensed in english and available as physical copies. (We hate digital in this house)

Psychological edition - keep in mind that sometimes genres depend on your personal view.

This list is nowhere near complete. I'll try to keep it updated - if one of ur favorites is missing, let me know :)
