Josei Manga That Deserve Anime Adaptations

OK LISTEN UP ANIMATION STUDIOS!!! 📢 There are INCREDIBLE josei manga out there just BEGGING to be animated! After falling down a rabbit hole from this amazing guide to josei anime, I realized how many brilliant manga are still waiting for their anime spotlight!

The Josei Manga Adaptation Wishlist

Kakukaku Shikajika - Akiko Higashimura's autobiographical manga about her journey to become a mangaka under a harsh but brilliant art teacher. It's funny, heartbreaking, and REAL. The art style shifts would translate beautifully to animation!

Suppli - A 30-something advertising executive balancing career ambitions with romance after her long-term relationship ends. The workplace drama! The realistic dating struggles! WHY hasn't this been animated yet??

Tramps Like Us (Kimi wa Pet) - A high-powered career woman takes in a young dancer as her "pet." It's WAY less weird than it sounds and explores gender expectations, career pressure, and unconventional relationships in such a nuanced way.

Helter Skelter - Kyoko Okazaki's dark psychological drama about a top model who undergoes extensive plastic surgery to maintain her career. As her body begins to deteriorate, so does her mental state. This would be STUNNING as a psychological horror anime.

In the Clear Moonlit Dusk (Otonari ni Ginga) - A girl who looks like a handsome boy meets a boy who looks like a beautiful girl. Their friendship and eventual romance explores gender expectations in such a heartfelt way!

Nigeru wa Haji da ga Yaku ni Tatsu (The Full-Time Wife Escapist) - Already has a live-action but deserves an anime! A woman becomes a "contractual wife" for a businessman, and their arrangement slowly develops into real feelings. PEAK slow-burn romance!

I'm literally BEGGING animation studios to look beyond shounen/shoujo and give these complex, adult stories the adaptations they deserve!

Josei Protagonists: Relatable Women in Anime

Y'all, can we talk about how REFRESHING Josei protagonists are?? After watching shows with high school girls whose only personality trait is "clumsy but cute," I'm LIVING for these complex women with actual adult problems! 🙌

If you're new to the genre, definitely check out this amazing guide to Josei anime that got me hooked on these incredible characters!

The Queens of Josei Anime

Nana Osaki (Nana) - Punk rock vocalist with a tough exterior hiding deep vulnerability. She's ambitious, talented, and refuses to compromise her dreams for love. Her relationship with fame and her own self-worth is painfully relatable.

Chika Umino (Honey and Clover) - An art student navigating unrequited love while trying to find her artistic voice. Her journey through heartbreak, career anxiety, and finding her own worth beyond romantic relationships HITS DIFFERENT.

Nodame (Nodame Cantabile) - A brilliant but eccentric pianist who marches to her own beat. She's messy, emotional, and unapologetically herself. I love that she doesn't transform into a "perfect girlfriend" to keep her man!

Hataraki Man (Hiroko Matsukata) - A career-driven editor who struggles with work-life balance and the double standards faced by ambitious women. Her nickname "Hataraki Man" (Working Man) highlights how she has to become "like a man" to be taken seriously.

Tsukimi (Princess Jellyfish) - A socially awkward jellyfish enthusiast who finds her confidence. Her journey from being terrified of stylish people to finding her voice as a designer while staying true to herself is everything.

What I love about these women is that they're ALLOWED to be messy, make mistakes, have ambitions beyond finding love, and still be protagonists worth rooting for. They feel like actual people rather than tropes!

Who's your favorite relatable Josei protagonist? Drop your thoughts below! 💕

Underrated Josei Anime Gems You Might Have Missed

Listen up, friends! While everyone's talking about Nana and Paradise Kiss (which are AMAZING, don't get me wrong), there's a whole treasure trove of Josei anime flying under the radar! After reading this incredible deep dive into the world of Josei anime, I went down a rabbit hole to find the hidden gems!

The Overlooked Masterpieces

Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu - This historical drama about traditional Japanese storytelling has some of the most complex character writing EVER. The decades-spanning relationships and tragedies will wreck you emotionally. Why isn't everyone talking about this??

Chihayafuru - Technically seinen but with major josei vibes! Competitive karuta (Japanese card game) becomes the backdrop for nuanced relationships and personal growth. The slow-burn romance is chef's kiss.

Usagi Drop - A 30-something man suddenly becomes guardian to his grandfather's illegitimate young daughter. The exploration of found family and unexpected parenthood is handled with such tenderness. (Just stick to the anime and ignore the manga ending, TRUST ME).

Sakamichi no Apollon (Kids on the Slope) - Jazz music in 1960s Japan provides the backdrop for complicated friendships, love triangles, and coming-of-age. The animation of the jazz performances alone is worth it!

Michiko to Hatchin - This criminally underrated series follows a fugitive and a young girl on a road trip across a fictionalized Brazil. The female protagonists are complex, flawed, and utterly captivating.

Hataraki Man - A workaholic female editor navigates career ambitions, gender expectations, and relationships. It's refreshingly honest about the struggles of work-life balance for career-driven women.

What's your favorite under-the-radar Josei series? I'm always looking to add to my watchlist! 💕
