Anime Rec List: Anime Written by Women
I’ve been seeing some lists of female anime creators/mangaka going around lately, which is great, but many of them are very short and just include famous shonen like FMAB, Noragami, and Blue Exorcist. While it is important to point out that women can and do write action adventure stories aimed at boys, shonen isn’t the only anime genre that matters. Here are my favorites that are slice of life, romance, and more!
I’d like to note that there are also a lot of mangaka who choose to withhold their gender/identity, and it’s suspected that many of them are women who want to avoid gender discrimination in the industry. I also encourage everyone to uplift the voices of nonbinary mangaka online, if you know of any. Thanks for reading!
