We Need Your Help!
We’re dedicated to paying our contributors and staff members fairly for their work—but we can’t do it alone.
You can become a patron for as little as $1 a month, and every single penny goes to the people and services that keep Anime Feminist running. Please help us pay more people to make great content!
With 11 series on this list, Summer 2026 might actually mark the highest raw number of shojo series premiering in one season since the site began.
With historical fiction, adaptations of classic manga, rom-coms, isekai, and pretty much every popular genre in the medium is represented here.
Winter gifted us some amazing shojosei, including what’s already one of 2026’s best anime.
