I'm looking for a manga with female lead/main character, that isn't shoujo or josei. (so either senien or shounen)
my thought behind this was that josei manga usually deals with womens lives etc, and shoujo mangas tend to slather on the cuteness. I've had my fill of cutesy for now and I've read enough josei.
I know this has been done, I'm pretty sure Happy! is a senien manga and that can't be the only one.
it can be any other genre though (fantasy, slice of life, sports, romance, etc)
the longer the series the better.
Feed your head.
Yawara
Gunnm / Gunnm: Last Order
Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou
Yotsubato!
Variante
There are some threads that may help too
Female leads?
Seinen w/female lead?
This week's favorites:
ççççççç[Ô.Ô] tsutopodus© will eat your manga and steal your cats!
These have female as main lead (at least for me, the girls usually have a partner here but I think that the story is told by their perspective):
Gunslinger Girl
Superior
Chrno Crusade
Tista
Claymore
Inuyasha
