I am looking for a manga similar to skip beat or Nana. I really liked those two. I think its the best josei I've ever read and now Im looking for something similar to it.

I would like a strong female lead please

Im still new here and I want to read so much moree!

Idk what you liked about those so i can only assue you liked that idea of a talented lead email character? But if it is because you liked the friendships between the women my recommendations probably wont be what you are looking for. Some of these have been years since I read them. I think mostlisted lhave emotionally strong female leads or talented/passionate characters.

Beauty Pop
Beniiro Hero
Full Moon o Sagashite (might be too young i dont remember)
Help!!
Hirunaka no Ryuusei
Paradise kiss (probably more similar to what you are asking about)
Reimei no Arcana (fantasy but was mature, had romance, and talented female lead)
The One (probably more similar to what you are asking about)
V.B. Rose

The author of Skip Beat also did another series (which is completely translated and available online) called Crazy Tokyo Paradise

It has action, comedy, drama, romance, sci-fi, a bit of tragedy, and gender bender

I loved it and suggest you check it out.

Also, check out these

Siesta
Rure

The Lady and the Beast (Hongseul)
