1. This is more out of curiosity than anything, but I'm wondering if there are any shounen mangas featuring female leads. The only one I can think of is Hajimete no Aku. I'm curious to see if there are others out there.

2. I was never a big fan of shoujo (mostly due to the art) BUT I have read some and enjoyed it. However, I realized that I usually enjoy shoujos if the lead is particularly strong. It doesn't have to mean physically strong but rather mentally strong. I would like to see a story where the lead DOESN'T like the main love interest at first, and instead builds interest over time. ie. Special A, Kaichou wa Maid-Sama! and of course Ouran High School Host Club.

If there are any other threads that have what I'm looking for, you can leave the link and I would be glad to take a look.

1. use the category shounen with female lead http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?category=Shounen+with+Female+Lead& orderby=rating here it is sorted by rating

2.use genre searh and specify with category strong female lead http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?perpage=50&ge nre=Shoujo&category=Strong%2BFemale%2BLead&o rderby=rating again sorted by rating

Plus, see other threads on this topic. This one for instance, and this one.

( I, for one, would recommend Blood+ (the Anime, the Anime!), Seirei no moribito, Claymore and maybe Shuto Heru as regards shounen/seinen, and Gokusen and Tokyo Crazy Paradise as regards shoujo/josei.)

Thanks for the links. I never realized there were so...many @_@ thisll keep me occupied for a while

btw, i forgot to add that i would like romance in the female shounen leads, though it doesn't have to be the main focus. If you know any specifically please list them.

Maka Albarn from Soul Eater is a total badass.
