Late each year the Japanese publisher Takarajimasha puts out its publication Kono Manga ga Sugoi! (translated as This Manga Is Amazing!) about top manga titles for the next year. Their list for 2022 has been revealed, and it’s divided into female and male readership. They make up these lists after surveying people working in the publishing and manga businesses.
Some of these titles have been licensed in America, and some are unfortunately not available. Without further ado, here is the list of women’s top twenty manga for 2022.
