The shojo/josei one 🙂--> https://www.mangaupdates.com/showtopic.php?tid=130392&page=1#post792523 and the general one 😀--> https://www.mangaupdates.com/showtopic.php?tid=130390&page=1#post792513
This one will likely look sparse at the moment but I hope to discover other material eventually.

Videos
YH Otaku YouTube video series Mangaka's Journey seems to focus (as of this moment) on mangaka's known for their shonen series. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCV1YFKpmazr0sV94fsl7JTCTv-K1lhni
The Land of Obscusion has The TRUE & SECRET History of Shonen Action Manga!; the one linked is for the 2021 edi. but there's an earlier one that has since been unlisted. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWj2C_x71CA
After watching that video I'd recommend viewing Yonkouproductions video The History of Weekly Shonen Jump as it gives a more nuanced picture surrounding editor's decisions in regards to certain stories. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnAYJ56Uqvw
